Adam Thielen A Solid Flex Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has some solid fantasy appeal in Week 5 after two straight solid performances where he saw a combined 17 targets. He figures to be second in line for targets behind Justin Jefferson, but he has been able to produce solid numbers the past couple of weeks regardless of this. […]

Terry McLaurin Facing Opportunistic Matchup In Week 5

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, along with the rest of the team, had a disappointing outing last week. Going up against a tough Dallas Cowboys defense, the 27-year-old was locked down as he finished with only two receptions for 15 yards. This week against the Tennessee Titans, he'll probably see some improvement. The Titans […]

Carson Wentz Looks Poised To Improve On Poor Performances

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz has been looking rough. After a couple of tough outings where he floundered against two top-10 defenses, the 29-year-old could be in line to take advantage of a more favorable matchup. In Week 5, the Commanders will be taking on the Tennessee Titans, a team that possesses a bottom-five pass […]

Kyle Pitts Ruled Out For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) didn't practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers will obviously need to remove him from their starting lineups this weekend. With Pitts out, Parker Hesse and Anthony Firkser will battle for playing time at the position, […]

Justin Jefferson A High-End WR1 In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to build on a season-high 10 receptions on 13 targets in Week 4. The 23-year-old will face a Bears' defense that could potentially be without stud cornerback Jaylon Johnson, so he could be in for another massive performance against a weak Bears defense. Jefferson could be seeing […]

Dalvin Cook Draws Great Matchup In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook draws a great matchup in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears, who have given up a league-high 733 rushing yards (5.1 ypc) through four games. Cook has found the end zone just one time this season but is getting elite usage in the Vikings backfield. The 27-year-old should be […]

Kirk Cousins A Potential QB1 Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to bounce back in Week 5 after some poor fantasy output in Week 4. Cousins will take on a Bears' defense that has allowed just 674 passing yards, albeit against some poor passing attacks in three out of four of those games. The matchup isn't worrisome for the […]

Texans Defense A Risky Week 5 Play

The Houston Texans defense has allowed the 17th-most points per game in the NFL this season at 23.3 and now faces a Jaguars team in Week 5 that is scoring 26.3 points per game, the sixth-best mark in the league. The team has been gashed on the ground, allowing the second-most rushing yards per game. […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn A Risky Week 5 Play

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has connected on 88.9% of his field goal attempts so far this season, including going 5-for-6 from 40-plus yards. This week, Fairbairn takes on a Jaguars team that's allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to kickers. The defense has done a good job keeping opposing teams away from field […]

O.J. Howard Has Little Appeal In Week 5

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard was targeted a season-high five times last week against the Chargers, but he brought in just two of those for 27 yards. After catching two touchdowns in the opener against the Colts, Howard has just three receptions since. With Jordan Akins taking targets away from him, Howard's role is […]

Nico Collins Faces Tough Week 5 Matchup

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has had some solid moments this season, but his low volume and a tough matchup against the Jaguars this week makes him a difficult player to trust in fantasy. Collins had 82 yards last week, but it came on just three catches. His season high in receptions is four. […]

Brandin Cooks Has WR3 Appeal In Week 5

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks remains the No. 1 target for quarterback Davis Mills, but the gap in targets between him and the other players is shrinking. After seeing 12 targets in Week 1, his numbers have dipped, and the last two weeks have seen Cooks get seven targets per contest. He found the […]

Broncos Defense Does All It Can Against Colts

The Denver Broncos defense did its job in the Week 5 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. They limited the Colts offense to just 12 points, sacked quarterback Matt Ryan six times and picked him off twice for a solid fantasy showing to begin Week 5 action. They limited Indianapolis to just 306 […]

Dameon Pierce Has Upside In Week 5

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce has a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but his high volume gives him fantasy upside even though the Jags allow the eighth-fewest rushing yards per game. Last week, Pierce had all 14 rushing attempts for Houston, finishing with a career-high 131 yards and a touchdown. […]

Davis Mills Is Tough To Trust In Week 5

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has thrown four interceptions over the last two games and now has a Week 5 matchup with the Jaguars on deck, who have a plus-three turnover differential this season. The Jaguars allow the 16th-fewest passing yards per game this season; while that's right in the center of the league, it […]

Brandon McManus Makes Three Field Goals Thursday

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus didn't have a single extra-point try as the team failed to score an offensive touchdown in the 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night, but he made three of his four field-goal attempts. McManus could have had a fifth attempt to tie the game late in the […]

Jaguars Defense A Premier Option In Week 5

The defense of the Jacksonville Jaguars is looking like a premier option in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. Even with the Jaguars allowing 29 points to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4, their defense still managed to record nine fantasy points. Through the first four weeks of the season, Jacksonville has the fifth-most fantasy […]

KJ Hamler Catches One Pass In Loss To Colts

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler secured his only target for 10 yards in the 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night in Week 5. Hamler picked up his first reception of the 2022 season in last week's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and now he has two catches on four […]

Riley Patterson An Underrated Option In Week 5 Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson is an underrated option at the position in Week 5 versus the Houston Texans. Considering that the Jaguars were playing in less-than-ideal weather conditions in Week 4, they didn't have the young kicker attempt any field goals. Before last week's game, Patterson had converted seven of his eight field-goal attempts […]

Evan Engram A Solid Streaming Option In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is a solid streaming option at the tight end position in Week 5 versus the Houston Texans. The former first-round pick is certainly running a lot of routes for the Jaguars this season, but it's yet to materialize into consistent fantasy points. The athletic tight end has been quiet […]

Eric Saubert Secures Season-High Five Catches In Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert outplayed teammate Albert Okwuegbunam in the Week 5 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. Saubert played 56 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the 12-9 overtime loss, catching a season-high five passes on seven targets for 36 yards. Meanwhile, Okwuegbunam played 21 percent of the snaps […]

Christian Kirk Primed For Bounce-Back Game In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk is primed for a massive bounce-back game in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. It was a rainy and windy game between the Jaguars and the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4, which limited the effectiveness that both teams had in the passing game. The 25-year-old wideout had a season-low […]

Jerry Jeudy Catches Only Three Passes Against Colts

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was second on the team in receiving in Thursday night's 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he had just three catches on eight targets for a pedestrian 53 yards. It didn't help that Denver's offense wasn't able to find the end zone all night in another disappointing […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Is A Risky Flex Option In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is a risky flex option in Week 5 versus the Houston Texans. The second-year running back out-snapped James Robinson in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles and both running backs on the Jaguars received eight attempts. That being said, Robinson will likely return to seeing more carries on […]

Courtland Sutton Leads Broncos With 74 Yards

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton once again led the team in receiving in Thursday night's 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. Sutton finished with team-highs in catches (five), receiving yards (74) and targets (11). He had a chance to score the game-winning touchdown late in the game, but the Colts […]

Mike Boone Has 10 Touches Against Colts

Denver Broncos running back Mike Boone had a pretty solid effort on Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts in the team's Week 5 loss. In his first game in an elevated role with Javonte Williams (knee) out for the year, Boone carried the ball seven times for 38 yards (5.4 yard-per-carry average) while catching all […]

Matt Ryan Looks Awful In Thursday's Win Over Denver

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan was coming off one of his better season performances heading into Week 5. Despite that, Ryan looked horrendous during the Week 5 win over the Denver Broncos. He completed 26-of-41 passing attempts for 251 passing yards and two interceptions without a touchdown. The offensive line was not helping Ryan at […]

Melvin Gordon III Leads Denver Backfield In Week 5

As expected, Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was the team's lead back in the Thursday night game against the Indianapolis Colts, the first without Javonte Williams (knee), who suffered a season-ending torn ACL and LCL last week. Gordon had a team-high 15 carries for 54 yards (3.6 yards per carry) while adding three […]

James Robinson Positioned For Busy Workload In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson should handle a massive workload in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. The former undrafted running back received a season-low eight attempts in Week 4, which he turned into only 29 yards on the ground. Once the Jaguars were playing from behind against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, Robinson […]

Russell Wilson Struggles Against Colts

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and the offense looked pretty bad once again in the 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. Wilson went 21-for-39 for 274 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while also running the ball four times for 22 yards. His two interceptions were costly turnovers for the Broncos, […]
