Now that almost every team has played one-quarter of its season, we can begin to trust the statistics a bit more. The Vikings’ defense is as good as their numbers show, while the Panthers are still a liability through the air.

As always, the matchups are reviewed against the expected flow of a game, but the two can now work in tandem to help produce a better picture.

Sporfolio’s NFL Daily Fantasy Sports game-by-game analysis columns are driven by expected game flow. Based on a combination of our Week 5 NFL picks against the spread and our expectations for a given game, we project the actions necessary to make these picks come to fruition. We aim to pinpoint players integral to our predicted game flow for each game of the week.
