Fantasy Football Week 5 DFS lineups: Jamey Eisenberg's most rostered, must-have player on the slate

With Christian Watson out, Wicks is now one of Jordan Love's top targets

by · CBS Sports

Dontayvion Wicks has opportunity, matchup and cost all working in his favor in Week 5. He's one of my favorite DFS plays for this scoring period.

I anticipate Wicks being popular, but he should be worth it. With Christian Watson (ankle) out, Wicks is now one of Jordan Love's top targets. And he has a great matchup against the Rams, who are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers.

Wicks is also a great price since he's just $5,000 on DraftKings and $5,900 on FanDuel. It's easy to stack him with Love, but that's not a requirement.

Wicks just had five catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets in Week 4 against Minnesota in the game where Watson was injured. And he was good last season when he had at least six targets, which happened four times. In two of those games, Wicks caught six passes for at least 61 yards, including one outing with two touchdowns.

We don't know when Watson will return, but while he's out, Wicks should benefit in a big way. And it starts in Week 5 with this matchup against the Rams.
