DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football: Top Punt Plays for Week 5

Jeremy Hill, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

Priced at the DraftKings minimum of $3,000, Jeremy Hill provides one of the absolute best punt plays this week. He’s the third-best running back according to our metrics (8.87 Rushing NEP). Hill is averaging over five yards per carry, which is considerably better than his counterpart Giovani Bernard (3.36 yards per carry).

Not to mention, the Bengals are playing New England on Sunday, who allow the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs, and just gave up three touchdowns to Jamaal Charles last week.

The Bengals could go up big in this one, which means they should rely heavily on their rushing attack in the second half to keep Tom Brady off the field. This bodes well for Hill, who is more of a workhorse back than Bernard, and could see the bulk of the touches.
