There was probably a point in June when you were sitting around on a Thursday night thinking to yourself, "I mi s football. I'd even take a Bears-Commanders game right now." Well, you got your wish, and here it is kicking off Week 5. Just remember, you'll be wishing for this when it's gone, so appreciate it now that we're here. And while you're at it, put together a FanDuel
Lance McCullers Jersey single-game DFS lineup to make things more interesting.The winle s Bears head to Washington, or technically Maryland, for a chance to get one in the win column. The newly owned Commanders are a feisty group that battle every week, most recently putting a scare into the defending NFC champion Eagles. As for the Bears, they find a new way to lose every week, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and putting their head coach, Matt Eberflus, squarely on the hot seat. Time is ticking on the Windy City's team to figure it out. Will they do it in an ugly battle on Thursday night in Washington?Before we break down our picks and strategy, here are the most notable scoring rules for FanDuel contests:four-point pa sing TDsandhalf-point PPR.MORE THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: | | | MVP (1.5x points) QB Sam Howell, Commanders ($15,500).The Bears are a bad team. The Bears are a bad team with a bad defense. The Bears are a bad team with a bad defense that struggles against even bad-to-mediocre quarterbacks. Get the picture yet? Howell will continue that trend on Thursday night. The Bears allow the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season (22.1), thanks, in part, to allowing 2.5 pa sing touchdowns per game. Howell has been better than expected and went toe-to-toe with a much more talented Eagles' team in Week 4. Expect him to get the Commanders back to their winning ways.FLEX RB Brian Robinson Jr., Commanders ($14,000). The Bears are around the middle of the pack when it comes to rushing yards allowed per game, giving up 115.5 on average. Robinson is a key piece to Washington's offense and has a big workload, getting 15.3
Carlos Correa Jersey carries per game. He's also boosted his presence in the receiving game. A top-10 running back for fantasy purposes, we'll roll with him to keep it going on Thursday night.FLEX WR DJ Moore, Bears ($12,500). Moore was quiet in his debut for Chicago, but he's stepped it up ever since. Chicago appears to have realized they traded the No. 1 pick, in part, to acquire him as a top weapon for Justin Fields. Moore has posted at least 100 yards in two of the past three games, and he's scored touchdowns in consecutive weeks. Moore has been targeted 22 times in that span, tied for the team lead in targets alongside Cole Kmet. Washington is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to receivers (36.7) and just let A.J. Brown shred them for 175 yards and
Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey two touchdowns. Moore might not get there, but he'll do enough to merit his spot in our lineup. FLEX RB Khalil Herbert, Bears ($11,000). Herbert had his best game of the season on Sunday, rushing for 103 yards and catching a touchdown pa s. Reporters have been saying since the invention of sliced bread that Roschon Johnson was going to take over the RB1 spot, but that hasn't happened. More important, it doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon. For someone who's playing a majority of snaps, we'll take a shot on him
Justin Verlander Jersey to follow it up with another good effort.FLEX TE Logan Thomas ($7,000). An underappreciated player in the Commanders' offense, Thomas has never entirely shaken off the former quarterback label. Eric Bienemy loves to use tight ends in the offense, though, and Thomas has been a beneficiary of that so far. He's been targeted 14 times through just three games and was knocked out of the team's Week 2 matchup with a concu sion. Despite that, Thomas is still fourth on the team in targets and could surpa s Curtis Samuel soon. The big-bodied tight end should continue to benefit from a young quarterback that relies on him.This year, we're also listing our favorite weekly DFS plays on.For those unfamiliar,DFS scoring involves point multipliers as opposed to traditional salary-capped or tiered contests. A winning lineup will likely feature a strong mix of stud fantasy contributors with 1x-1.6x boosts, as well as matchup-based sleepers with larger multipliers. Each player is a signed a scoring multiplier based on their value as determined by SuperDraft.Users can roster any player in their lineup with no restrictions.MORE:Here are the most notable scoring rules
Dallas Keuchel Jersey for SuperDraft NFL contests:Half-point PPR,four-point pa sing TDs,two-point bonuses for 100 rushing yards,100 receiving yards,and 300 pa sing yards.MORE SUPERDRAFT DFS:Champion (+50% points): QB Sam Howell, Commanders(Multiplier 1.75x)Super FLEX: RB Brian Robinson Jr., Commanders (Multiplier 1.2x)Super FLEX: QB Justin Fields, Bears (Multiplier 1x)Super FLEX: D.J. Moore, Bears (Multiplier 1.1x)SuperFLEX: WR Jahan Dotson, Commanders (Multiplier 1.45x)We like to get a little crazy on Thursday nights since that's usually the type of game we're in store for. However, this Thursday is not really the time for that. It will likely be ugly, and Al Michaels is probably already disgusted. He might even take a vacation day rather than risk sitting through another 12-7 final score like last season's TNF showdown between these two teams. So, that's why we opted for the chalkier options on SuperDraft, taking both QBs, as well as some of the top options on each offense.
