Welcome to our new series covering RIVAL Fantasy Bingo picks for NFL Week 5! We will be covering how to play and the strategies to win.
Fantasy Bingo is a spin on the classic game Bingo but the goal is to match achievements, not numbers. You will build a DFS lineup for the weekly games to unlock the achievements and fill in those squares. You can win by getting five in a row, all four corners, or an entire card blackout.
The prize pool for the weekly slate is distributed among all of the winning cards. They are broken down in two ways. 56% of the prize pool to cards that have five in a row – vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. 44% of the prize pool is for cards that just cover the four corners. Also, the prize pool gets larger as more bingo cards are entered. You can have up to 100 max cards all with different lineups created. Check here for the updated rules and scoring.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Strategy
With setting a lineup to similar DFS Apps, stacking is the way to go. You would want to have your choice of quarterback paired with one to two pass-catchers. For example: Brock Purdy paired with Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk. Two high-usage weapons for Purdy. You can always run it back with one pass-catching player from the opposing team or just keep your stack naked.
Now, what to do with the other roster spots to fill? One way to go since there is no salary cap for the lineups on RIVAL Fantasy is to target the players with high usage rates. Sam LaPorta is averaging a 78% routes ran share currently through the first three weeks. He's one to look at for Week 4. RIVAL Fantasy Bingo is all about achievements and players who can hit multiple in a game. We want to use players who can do it all.
Kickers are players too and they are on the Fantasy Bingo Cards. Not every card will be positive though for them though. Your card may have a kicker that needs to miss three field goals during a game. You just won't know until your card is generated after your lineup is submitted. That is the tricky part.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Picks
Christian McCaffrey
Christian McCaffrey is going to continue to dominate no matter what team is on the opposite side. He is currently holding a 64% rush attempt rate and a 20% target rate. Coming off of a huge four-touchdown game, McCaffrey is doing it all. He recorded 20 carries for 106 rushing yards and seven receptions for 71 receiving yards in Week 4 versus Arizona. When looking at the Bingo boards from last week, he can cover a good chunk of squares to give a higher opportunity in cashing this week.
While Travis Kelce may be a tight end, you have to guard and attack him like a wide receiver. Facing the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday, Kelce could flat-out dominate. The Vikings are giving up the most points to receivers so far this season. Mix that with Kelce leading the offense in target share and this is a matchup made in heaven. Kelce had nine targets in Weeks 2 and 4 while having eight targets in Week 3. He has found the endzone in two of the three games that he has played in also. He will remain Patrick Mahomes' favorite target as long as the two continue to play which makes stacking the two this week, the ideal stack.
With a disappointing performance versus the Buffalo Bills, Tyreek Hill will most likely have a bounce-back week. Hill is currently averaging a 30% target rate with 83% of those targets being catchable. He'll be lining up against the New York Giants who have been getting completely dominated. Hill has found the endzone four times so far this season and continues to be Tua Tagovailoa's favorite target. He had 15 targets in Week 1, nine in Week 2, and 11 in Week 3. With him being the main option, he pairs well with the Kansas City Chiefs stack of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
