Daily Faceoff’s Week 5 "According to the Numbers" breaks down under‑the‑radar fantasy moves using SportLogiq data through Oct. 29, 2026. It highlights waiver‑wire add Jordan Eberle (SEA, 26% rostered) who boasts top‑10 inner‑slot shot rates and 10 points in 13 games, plus Jake Neighbours (STL, 13% rostered) with elite hit totals and strong power‑play ixG. Center Noah Östlund (BUF, 4% rostered) earns 9 points on near‑19 minutes and solid PP usage, making him a hot under‑5% pick. On the sell‑high side, Zach Werenski (CBJ, 100% rostered) surprisingly lacks goals despite high ixG.
