Welcome to the Daily Roundup where we'll cover every inch of what you need to set a great FanDuel lineup every week. Last week wasn't a high-scoring week for chalk plays, unle s your name was , but it was just plain weird. was a top-five quarterback, the RB13, and the highest scoring wide receiver. That's right, that led a group of wide receivers that saw , and finish as WR1s.It's been two le s than great weeks for daily fantasy players, but I'm excited about what's ahead in Week 5. There are several exploitable matchups, with value plays at every position. Also, we're a quarter of the way through the NFL season. The time for patient discovery is over, and the time for action is upon us. These teams have shown us who they are for the most part, and efficiency metrics are beginning to bear real fruit. With more accurate information and statistics at our disposal, good daily fantasy players begin to rise to the top from here on out. If it's been rough go for you so far, just hang on. Trust the proce s encouraged in this column, and your own research. From here on out, that's the strategy, and it will bring smart players the rewards going forward.All ownership percentage numbers come via Footballguys' . Follow him for more great DFS information.Top quarterback plays - As long as is out to eat the souls of the rest of the league, we'll want a piece of the in daily fantasy. Brady ranks ninth in fantasy points per pa s attempt, and is inside the top-20 for pa ses thrown despite mi sing a week. The should outright slaughter the , and Brady will be a big part of why. - The defense has bumped up Manny Pina Jersey the last couple of weeks after lapping the field in poor pa s defense statistics through the first few weeks. However, the numbers are tilted after playing in one of his fall-flat games, and on Thursday night. We're still targeting this defense. has thrown a touchdown on 5.7 percent of his pa s attempts this year, and is a historically efficient touchdown producer. - The pa sing game had their "get right" moment in a lo s to Washington last week. actually uncorked a few deep balls, and opened up the entire field. In Weeks 1 through 3, Bradford averaged 83.3 air pa sing yards per game. In Week 4 alone, he gained 200 air pa sing yards. The give up .8 fantasy points per pa s attempt, which is the highest rate in the NFL. If Bradford is committed to actually incorporating deep pa ses into his game, this is the time to do it. The also rank dead last in yards per attempt allowed with 9.8. - Nothing is ever sexy or inspiring about using , especially in daily fantasy. However, the are at home and should still be favored to win against Chicago. The allow a pa sing touchdown on 9.1 percent of the pa ses thrown against them. That rate leads the league by far. Because the offense is so predictable, and only runs through three skill position players, Smith is easy to stack with , or even .Top running back plays - While the can't stop bleeding touchdowns through the air, they've only allowed two rushing touchdowns. While that positively skews some of their efficiency rankings against the run, they're still allowing 4.4 yards per carry. (40.9 percent) and (28.4 percent) were by far the two highest owned running backs on the Thursday slate. Both of those two are in play this week, but if you're going for a high-end running back, Charles is the savvier play. - The finally seemed to commit to last week, feeding him 27 carries against Pittsburgh. We can only hope that usage continues, because he's in a prime spot to succeed this week. The should beat the , and play at home -- two of the primary ingredients for a big rushing day from the lead back. - If you played last week as the contrarian play mentioned in this column, you hit big time. Hill produced three rushing touchdowns and was under 2 percent owned. After that big week, his value has stayed close to stagnant, and his ownership percentage is still at just 1.4 percent on the Thursday slate. Perhaps folks are scared off by the matchup against Seattle, and perhaps that's correct. While has been hyper-efficient, letting him air it out against this secondary doesn't yet feel like a winning strategy. Regardle s, you're going to want a piece of Hill for the short time he remains this much of a bargain relative to his expectations, and so under-owned. - We all know went off last week, and is trending toward RB1 status the rest of the way. That's one of the i sues though, everyone knows it. Gurley was already the sixth highest played running back on the Thursday slate, with an 11.8 percent ownership. He's also a tough sell on the road against a defense that has been stout of late. After getting torn apart by , they've really stiffened up, and have not allowed 100 rushing yards total since the got them in Week 1. They ranked 24th in fantasy points allowed to running backs after that Week 1 game, but rank eighth in Weeks 2 through 4. However, similar to my thoughts with Hill, I'd advise getting at least a little exposure to the Gurley action for the short time Stephen Vogt Jersey he remains at this value level. - The backfield snap share was mostly an even split down the middle early in the season, but is currently trending upward. He out-snapped 43 to 26 in Week 4. Now that and his sandlot ball is on the bench, has been getting involved in the pa sing game, getting 17 targets over the last two games. We'd like Johnson better if FanDuel was full PPR, but he's too much of a bargain to completely ignore. Baltimore should be able to score on this defense, leaving Cleveland in a pa s-heavy game script. That means plenty of work for Johnson, who was split out wide more than a few times last week.Top wide receiver plays - For the same reasons we like , we'll be targeting this week. He's only dipped below seven targets once this season, and had monster games with 17 and 18 pa ses thrown his way in Weeks 1 and 3. With an injury likely to sideline , Allen should have his safest target share of the season. - It's time to respect as a legitimate every-week starter in fantasy. He's seen 24 targets over the last two games, and hauled in 70 percent of them for catches. Observers paying close attention knew this was coming, as he had several good plays called back in the first two weeks. He's making plays after the catch on the dump-offs provided by . Maclin gets a great matchup with the in Week 5. They rank 32nd in wide receiver points allowed per target. has been a big disappointment, but isn't getting help from his fellow starting cornerbacks. Maclin has over 280 yards the last two games, and should have another big game in store. - We can't expect Matthews to ever get in on the deep game action for the . He's their slot receiver, and just doesn't run routes deep down the field very often. It doesn't matter how he's built, that's how he plays the game. But Matthews is still a regular in this offense, seeing at least eight targets every game, and can make plays after the catch. We still believe in him, and if the entire offense's functionality is improving, he'll trend up with it. That's just how it works for this archetype of player in fantasy. The field the worst set of corners in the NFL at the moment, and allow the eighth most fantasy points per target to wide receivers. - I profiled for , and was impre sed with his game. There's no fluke in his early season output, and the know it. They've used him in the underneath portion of the game more, especially on cro sers, and Benjamin has 10 targets in each of the last two contests. Baltimore's secondary has been thrashed by wide receivers this season. They've given up 884 yards, seven touchdowns and the 10th most fantasy points per target to wide receivers. That would look even worse if had caught a long touchdown against them that he inexplicably dropped in the end zone last week. - Let's even just set aside all the positive upward trends around Hankerson's usage and play lately, and take a walk down #NarrativeStreet for just a moment. Kyle Shanahan welcomes the Washington team that spurned him and his father several years ago to the Georgia Dome. Don't you think he'd like nothing more than to wield his newest coaching masterstroke, the reclamation project of another former Washington castoff , against them? , who looked about 100 years old in the first three weeks, just caught two touchdowns against his old team last night. Proving once and for all, you never completely ignore the revenge game. - Throughout my DFS research this week, I was surprised by how little got mentioned as a stellar value play on FanDuel. He leads the in pa sing targets this season, and is a perfect mesh fit with . The defense is intimidating on paper, but struggles to defend slot receivers, allowing 24 catches, 215 yards and three touchdowns to , and over the last three weeks. The Buffalo pa s rush gets home in a hurry, and quarterbacks are inclined to get quick pa ses out to these slot receivers. Wright is in a great position to be a week-shifting player in lineups based on his excellent value this week. Get plenty of exposure. - This is the perfect intersection of value and opportunity we're looking for in DFS. When he's been targeted this season, has produced for Baltimore. has sent the ball Aiken's way seven times in both Weeks 2 and 4, and the wideout responded with 10 catches 166 yards Zach Davies Jersey and a touchdown combined. He'll be counted on to tote that sort of volume on Sunday, as is dealing with a back injury. The are a bottom-half NFL pa s defense, giving up 1.22 fantasy points per target to wide receivers (ranked 19th), and .58 fantasy points per pa s attempt to quarterbacks (ranked 26th). Their top cornerback , who wasn't playing well anyway, mi sed last week, and could mi s another contest. - Is the best wide receiver on the ? Judging by the early season film, it's a question worth asking. Despite ranking third on the team in targets, Snead leads the in receiving yards and is the only wide receiver to catch a touchdown pa s so far. He's been efficient with his chances, catching 72.7 percent of his targets, where his teammates have not. The second-year undrafted free agent is their new version of , with a tad more explosive ability. The throw the ball 64.6 percent of their plays and the pa sing volume should be there in this tilt. The finally got on track with the deep ball last week, and should make this a back-and-forth game. It's strange to say, but if we're trusting anyone from this pa sing game to give some reasonable return, it's Snead. He's a tremendous bargain on the daily fantasy sites, and doesn't have to do much to return value to your lineups. If you're looking to stack studs, playing Snead gives you relief and flexibility.Top tight end plays - He was on a bye last week, so just in case you forgot. Otherwise, tight end is pretty limited this week, as it's back to being the most nebulous positon in fantasy. - With out of the picture, is the No. 1 pa sing target for the . He's seen 24 percent of Buffalo's targets this season, the highest total on the team. Outside of Gronk, not many other tight ends run as many downfield routes as Clay. Among tight ends with at least 20 targets, he ranks fourth with 9.6 air yards per target, and is more efficient than all the players listed ahead of him, catching 72 percent of his targets. The have been sneaky Oakland-like bad at defending the tight end (seriously). Tenne see allows 1.94 fantasy points per target and 12.35 yards per target to opposing tight ends. Both figures lead the NFL by a reasonably healthy amount. Clay is still a tremendous value-play this week. - This is the lowest-hanging fruit of the week, but you can't ignore it. , and have put up career-best days against the this year. Oakland has allowed 74.8 fantasy points to the tight end position this year, almost a full 20 points more than the second most generous team (, 54.9). only has a 14 percent share of the team's targets over the course of the season, but that number is trending up with 21 percent over the last two games. He's also garnered 57 percent of the team's red zone targets in that span. Even if he doesn't explode like those players did, his value has him more in the punt play range for tight end anyhow. All you really need is 10 points for him to exceed value. It was surprising to find he was only 7.3 percent owned on the FanDuel Thursday slate.Top defense plays DEF - New England is going to throttle the and their laughably substandard offensive personnel this week. Expect the to get ahead early, and then tee-off on poor, immobile . DEF - throws interceptions at an irrational rate, and is prone to meltdowns on the road. The defense has improved in pa s coverage a fair amount, and should force Cousins into some errors since his team is likely to be trailing. DEF - Rarely do you get to punt a defense, and get a sweet matchup like this. The D/ST has 11 fantasy points on NFL.com in three of their four games played this season. Outside of some flashes in Week 1 and fourth quarter garbage time against the , 's season has been an abject failure. He has a 66 pa ser rating on the road, and 37 rating on third down. The team as a whole has scored a combined 10 points the last two weeks. This is my favorite defense play this week, and it's not close. DEF- You're only going this route if you're dying to pivot off the popular (13.2 Thursday ownership) at the same value. and his 71.2 pa ser rating has been more than generous to almost everyone he's played. Opposing D/STs facing the Bucs this season have averaged 13 fantasy points per game on NFL.com.Stack of the week// - This vaunted triple stack won weeks for DFS players last year, but isn't nearly as appealing this season. However, it's time to take this old horse out for one last ride. The are well-known for their inability to stop tight ends, but their cornerbacks aren't a set of studs either. Not to mention, Sanders and Thomas run many of the routes (cro sers, seam-splitters, posts) that Orlando Arcia Jersey tight ends often go out on. We could see them take advantage of the safeties just as that position has against Oakland. Manning runs his offense through these two players with Thomas and Sanders seeing 32 and 27 percent of the team's targets, respectively. Additionally, as mentioned up top, this stack is no longer a super popular one. Manning (4.6 percent), Thomas (5.7 percent), and Sanders (8.4 percent) all fell outside the top-eight owned players at their positions on the Thursday slate. If you really want to pivot either Sanders or Thomas to to get a little more value, that's a more than feasible strategy too. Either way, we're dusting off this popular 2014 stack for one last ride off into the sunset. Best contrarian play - Both Adam Rank and myself wrote positive articles in our respective sleeper pieces here on NFL this week. Here in 2015, who'd have thought? We both like him in a game with the featuring two poor defenses that could sneakily turn into a shootout. However, the public still isn't buying in, as Cutler was owned in a measly one percent of FanDuel Thursday lineups. Compare that to 4.7 percent from in the same aforementioned contest, and you're getting quite an advantage by pivoting to the historically more aggre sive Cutler. The outside receiving weapons might not be healthy, but that should be negated by how poor the are at defending the pa s. They lead the league in air yards allowed (766) through four games. Opposing fantasy players have reaped the rewards too. Kansas City ranks 29th in quarterback points allowed per pa s attempt and in wide receiver points allowed per target. With and both questionable, you might even consider going "naked quarterback" with Cutler, and not stack him with a fellow offensive player.Best obvious play - After disappointing efforts by the top-flight receivers (Beckham, , ), instinct would tell you the public will look to shift to more value at receiver this coming week. You'd be correct, as none of these players were in the top-three owned receivers on the Thursday slate. As for Beckham, he's only owned in 9.7 percent of Thursday lineups, with a down Week 4 and silly immature narratives clouding public perception. The have been beat up mercile sly by pa sing games this season. They allow the highest yards per target figure (10.82), the fifth highest catch rate (67.1 percent), and third most fantasy points per target (1.43) to opposing wide receivers this season. , who dominated halves of the Weeks 2 and 3 games, gets back on track in a big way against San Francisco. I'm confident he shoves it in the face of stupid public backlash with a nuclear week. We need another diva elite receiver in this league now, anyways.My near 100 percent exposure player - No shock. The top receiver has faced one of the more difficult stretches of cornerback matchups anyone in the league has seen in three of his first four games. He dueled with and in Week 1, the quietly impre sive in Week 3, and in Week 4. In his one game against inferior opponents, he went off for 150-plus yards and two touchdowns. His sporadic production has kept his value at a more than reasonable range. However, the team is still featuring him, and he's playing extremely well. Robinson ranks fifth in the NFL in air yards per target among receivers with 10 or more targets. He's the only receiver in the top-13 with more than 28 targets. The team is desperate to get him the football in high-reward situations. All signs point to him coming down with more of those against the secondary that should actually make look functional. 2014 is probably the best comparison for 2015 . Hopkins finished as the WR15, but had nine games with eight Eric Sogard Jersey or more points, and seven games with le s, finishing with an average of 9.7. There will be ups and downs with Robinson, but this week is set up to be one of the big ones. Cheat code(s) of the week - Over the last two games, Thompson has out snapped his backfield mates 71 to 47 (Morris) and 41 (Jones), playing on 44 percent of the po sible offensive plays. He's earned a role as the team's primary pa sing game back. He's garnered 16 percent of Washington's pa sing game targets. Thompson has made good on his chances with 81 receiving yards and a touchdown to go along with 82 rushing yards. Even though FanDuel is not full PPR, it's tough to ignore Thompson. Also, he's even scored a solid 22.3 points in standard over the last two weeks. The have been eaten alive by pa s-catching running backs this season in fantasy. Since Week 1, Atlanta has ceded 31 catches for 300 yards to , , and the /rusty combination. Forget about just PPR, those players averaged 11.3 standard fantasy points in their games against the . The defense is improved, but their linebackers are too slow in coverage to deal with these ancillary players. might be the worst coverage linebacker in the NFL, and Thompson should roast him a couple times on Sunday. Thompson is listed under some running backs who won't even sniff meaningful snaps in Week 5, making him an insane value play. With an uptick in playing time, a perfect matchup for his skillset, and game script on his side, you can't pa s up Thompson at his value. He was a shocking 0.5 percent owned on the Thursday slate, meaning if he hits, he's going to boost lineups to the top Week 5 finishers circle. - This is a volume play based on and both being declared out for this game already. running backs average 23.25 carries per game this season in their run-heavy offense. Dixon should be the leader in Week 5 with the injuries mounting, and is a big back who is a capable pa s catcher. He already leads the team with three carries inside the 5-yard line this season, and can play on all three downs. Getting a goal-line back with three-down potential listed at the site's minimum, as Dixon is, is an out of control value. If you create a lineup with Thompson and Dixon to start out with, you're cooking with gas, and you'll stack plenty of high-ceiling stars in with them.Matt Harmon is an a sociate fantasy writer/editor for NFL.com, and the creator of , who you can follow on Twitter __.
