PRO Week 5 DraftKings DFS Cheat Sheet and Trends Tool Now Available
strong>Week 5 DFS Cheat Sheet and Trend Tool: DraftKings
By Mike Band and the RosterWatch staff
The epic DFS cheat sheet for DraftKings is now available for download to RosterWatch PRO members. In addition to the cheat sheet, we’ll be providing RosterWatch Nation exclusive access to our private analytic “trends” database this season (The KingsTool) to dig deeper into the slate and understand why we’ve included the players on the cheat sheet that we have. (See link to the private spreadsheet at the bottom of the page).
We’ve taken into consideration every variable you could imagine. Dozens of indicators from Vegas. All of our privately held analytics. Every statistical split imaginable, historical performance, weather, individual cornerback/receiver matchup, RW’s own proprietary matchup rankings and so much more.
The rules for the DFS cheat sheet remain the same as ever. The players are listed in these tiers:
BLUE salary: High-dollar
RED salary: Mid-range
PURPLE salary: higher-risk bargains
Choose the players from the sheet you like best. Mix-and-match them to create your personal, optimal lineup. It’s that simple.
Take note of projected ownership percentages when putting your team together. In 50/50, Double-Up and head-to-head contests, there is nothing wrong with rostering players who project as popular choices across the board. However, in larger field tournaments, it is always wise to differentiate from the public with a few lower-percentage plays and/or stacks.
The DraftKings Cheat Sheet and associated RosterWatch KingsTool provide options of all different projected ownership levels. In the KingsTool spreadsheet, you will see players sorted by “trend.” This is the number of advanced indicators that have pointed to this player being an optimal fantasy play for the week regardless of pricing.
The DraftKings Vegas Props Tool will be out late Saturday evening as always.

For RW Trends, is the higher number better?
yes- those are how many indicators are analytics found to project a better-than-average performance.
Standard League. Need 1 this week from- D. Freeman, J. Howard, I. Crow ? thanks
– The Great
we have Crowell and Howard ranked back to back so I’ll defer to the best matchup and the seemingly guaranteed volume in Howard.
I am looking to trade for Derrick Henry as I own DeMarco Murray. My current RBs and WRs are as follows:
RBs: CJ Anderson, DeMarco Murray, Jordan Howard, Devontae Booker, DeAndre Washington, Kenneth Dixon
WRs: AJ Green, Kelvin Benjamin, Dez Bryant, Julian Edelman, DeSean Jackson
The Henry Owner’s RBs and WRs are as follows:
RBs: Eddie Lacy, Frank Gore, Melvin Gordon, Derrick Henry, Shane Vereen
WRs: Odell Beckham Jr, Emmanuel Sanders, Tavon Austin, Will Fuller V, Tyler Boyd
What would you offer in a trade for Derrick Henry?
see if he would take Julian Edelman (remind him that Brady is coming back and it’s his favorite target, etc.) for Fuller + Henry. I might even offer the same for Dez, sadly.
I offered Edelman for Henry and Fuller in a trade but that got rejected. I guess it is going to be harder to get Henry than I thought. Unfortunately, people don’t like to trade in this league nor do they have any idea of player values in potential trades.
Better stack Rogers, Lacy, Cobb and Nelson or Manning, Odb, Shepard, and Cruz or the carousel of running backs?
I personally don’t want to stack Lacy with the GB stack if I’m using Rodgers and the WO’s — much prefer the correlation stack with Odell and Nelson and with one of their QBs.
Playing heads up every week in a season long scheduled league with playoffs using fanduel. 12 team with top 6 to playoffs. Should I be stacking each week or spread the field. I have been spreading it out but only average 106 per week. Good enough for 3rd place so far in league standings but top three places weekly are 130 min score.
