NFL DFS Tournament Takes: Week 5 (Fantasy Football)

Footclan, we’re hitting the sweet spot of the NFL season as Week 5 rolls in! By now, we’ve gathered plenty of data, and while some trends are starting to solidify, there’s still plenty of room to find unique angles. The unpredictable nature of the season continues to create fresh opportunities each week, and it’s up to us to capitalize on those shifting dynamics.
