Here’s a breakdown of one-game DFS contests for the Week 5 Thursday Night Football matchup featuring the Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks at 8:15 p.m. ET on NFL Network and FOX.
Cash Game Strategy
Russell Wilson leads the way in floor, median, ceiling, and Projected Plus/Minus in our DraftKings Showdown Models and is the clear-cut top option for the Captain slot on DraftKings. Wilson can be paired with Jared Goff, Chris Carson, and Todd Gurley to achieve the optimal QB-RB1 core for both teams.
Given that Malcolm Brown has as many carries inside the 10-yard-line (5) as Gurley, the safest route for the last two spots is to pair Brown with a punt play that costs $3,100 or less. The top projected player in that range is Tyler Higbee, who is averaging a team-leading 40.0% share of targets inside the 10 despite missing one game.
Coming off a 68-pass-attempt game in which they got away from the run too early (11 attempts) and Goff struggled under pressure, the Rams are a good bet to try and reestablish the run, which bodes well for both Brown and Higbee, who could see an uptick in snaps as the better blocker than Gerald Everett.
FanDuel’s pricing allows for the same combination of players, sans Brown.
