2022 USFL DFS picks: Top DraftKings tournament strategy, advice for Week 5 from a Fantasy expert

The USFL has fought to stay at the forefront of pro football fans' thoughts this spring, and has done a good job of it between the name recognition of some players and the top performances of others. Week 5 offers another weekend schedule that gives fans another action-packed slate of games but also another chance to win big in tournaments and cash games on DraftKings. Philadelphia's Bryan Scott, who had been the top passer in the league, is out for the foreseeable future with what has been deemed a significant knee injury, and Case Cookus stepped in for him last week against the Michigan Panthers to throw for 190 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-25 win.

Meanwhile, Shea Patterson's continued fall from grace since concluding his college career as a Wolverine continued, as he threw three interceptions in the loss. His running back, Reggie Corbin, ran for over 150 yards for Michigan, but can he be trusted to keep things up again in Week 5 USFL DFS lineups when the Panthers take on the Tampa Bay Bandits? If you're on the hunt for Week 4 USFL DFS picks, you can't do any better than SportsLine's No. 1 pro football expert, R.J. White.

CBS Sports' Fantasy and gambling managing editor, White has delivered consistently on a high volume of picks over the long-term, returning $2,542 to $100 bettors on more than 800 against the spread picks since the start of the 2017 NFL season. It's no surprise, as White has cashed huge twice in the world's most prestigious football handicapping competition, the Las Vegas SuperContest.

He was also 16-4 on all XFL ATS picks before the league suspended operations in 2020. That included starting a 13-1 run at the start as books scrambled to correctly evaluate team quality in a league where little was known heading into the season. He also had a successful start to the 2022 USFL season, going 6-2 with his first eight USFL picks. His combination of expert pick knowledge and Fantasy background means he can find the best USFL DFS values.

Now, White has locked in his USFL DFS picks for the four-game slate in Week 5 and also is offering up his analysis.

We can tell you that White is high on Birmingham quarterback J'Mar Smith, who is listed at $9,700 on DraftKings. White is also high on Pittsburgh wide receiver Tre Walker ($4,000 on DraftKings). Walker came away with nine receptions for 110 yards last week in a 21-13 loss to the New Jersey Generals last week. For the season, he's been the fifth-most productive receiver in the league with 17 catches for 195 yards, although he is still looking for his first score of the season.

White is also targeting several players who could go off for MASSIVE numbers in Week 5 USFL action! These picks could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any lineups.
