Aaron Rodgers - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers bounced back from his disastrous Week 1 performance (0:2 TD: INT ratio) and owned an 8:0 TD: INT ratio over his last three games. The 37-year-old is an every-week starter and should produce against a mediocre Bengals pass defense (18th in DVOA against the pass). He has thrown for […]

Alexander Mattison - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison's fantasy outlook remains contingent on the status of Dalvin Cook (ankle) heading into Week 5. Cook remains a game-time call against the Lions. However, if he doesn't play, Mattison will automatically be an attractive fantasy target in nearly every format, including DFS contests. While filling in the Cook in […]

Juwan Johnson - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson should remain benched in Week 5. Johnson managed a touchdown last week but has only managed six receptions for 64 yards on 10 targets in four total games this season, leaving his production much to be desired. The Saints do not have a high-volume passing offense, meaning all […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is not a strong play in Week 5 against Washington. Though Callaway posted his best totals of the season last week (2/74/0), the receiver simply hasn't been consistent enough to be a weekly fantasy starter. The 23-year-old only mustered 22 total yards in Weeks 1-2 combined. With Jameis […]

Aaron Jones Removed From Injury Report In Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old was limited in practice for the second straight week due to an ankle injury but will play in Week 5. Surprisingly, the Bengals have been good against the run and are 11th in DOVA, […]

Deonte Harris - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris is not a strong play in Week 5. Harris has been fairly inconsistent in 2021, posting a decent five receptions for 52 yards on eight targets last week while also posting a game with just nine yards back in Week 2. The Saints' offense under Jameis Winston is […]

Adam Thielen - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen failed to score a touchdown during the Week 4 loss to the Browns, snapping a three-game streak with at least one trip to the end zone. However, the veteran has a fantastic chance to get back on track against the Lions on Sunday. While the 31-year-old is at the […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 in Week 5. Last week, the RB posted a season-high 120 rush yards on 26 carries. Overall, Kamara has had an excellent start to the season, posting at least 83 rushing yards in three of four games. As the focal point of the offense, […]

Davante Adams - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams owns 41% of the team's target share (first among all wide receivers) and is an elite option against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5. Adams has seen a whopping 28 targets over the last two games. The Bengals are 22nd in DVOA against WR1s; expect the Packers wide […]

Jameis Winston - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is not a strong starting option against Washington in Week 5. The QB has managed less than 200 yards in three of four games and hasn't been as explosive overall. While it's encouraging the former Buccaneer has cut down on the turnovers with eight touchdowns to two picks, it's […]

Justin Jefferson - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson looks to keep his fantastic season going during the Week 5 matchup against Detroit. The 22-year-old wideout has been red-hot during the 2021 campaign, accruing at least nine targets in three of his four appearances on the year. The sophomore will also enter Sunday's contest riding a three-game touchdown […]

Kirk Cousins Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has all the makings to finish as a top option at the position in Week 5. Cousins has flown under the radar this season, for the most part, doing so despite stringing together some potent fantasy performances. The 33-year-old is currently in the midst of one of the best campaigns […]

Danny Amendola Will Suit Up On Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) will be active for the Week 5 matchup against New England. The veteran sustained a thigh injury in Week 2 and hasn't seen the field since. However, after returning to practice during the week, albeit limitedly, he is healthy enough to go against the Patriots. Still, it's apparent […]

Russell Wilson Could Be Out 6-8 Weeks

The Seattle Seahawks are bracing for quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) to miss at least a month and possibly six to eight weeks after he ruptured his middle-finger tendon in the Thursday night loss to the Los Angeles Rams, according to sources. Wilson will likely need surgery to fix the tendon, with the Seahawks considering his […]

Zane Gonzalez Doesn't Have Much Upside

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez will take on the Eagles in Week 5. Gonzalez has made 3 of 5 field goals and 9 of 10 extra points through four weeks of play. The 26-year-old has a decent floor but doesn't possess the upside of other kickers in better matchups. The Eagles have allowed the seventh-fewest […]

Ian Thomas Remains A Risky Streamer

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas gets a favorable matchup in Week 5 against the Eagles. Philadelphia's defense has surrendered the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends so far, and Thomas appears to be the early beneficiary of Dan Arnold's playing time. Still, the 25-year-old has yet to exceed 17 yards in […]

Chuba Hubbard Likely To Start For Second Straight Game

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard could have a rebound game in Week 5 against the Eagles. With Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) listed as doubtful, Hubbard could have the keys to the backfield once again in a matchup against the league's 31st-ranked run defense. The rookie played 47 percent of the snaps and handled 15 touches, […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Tough To Trust In Week 5

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. could have a tough path to fantasy relevance against the Eagles in Week 5. Marshall has yet to eclipse 50 receiving yards in a game and is coming off of a two-yard effort in a Week 4 loss to Dallas. The rookie has the skills to succeed […]

Chris Hubbard Expected To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Chris Hubbard (triceps) is expected to have season-ending surgery on his triceps, according to sources. Hubbard suffered the injury in the season-opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and hadn't played since. The good news for the Browns offensive line is that left tackle Jedrick Wills (ankle), who is questionable to […]

Daniel Carlson Looking To Bounce Back In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson is looking for a bounce-back game in Week 5 against the visiting Chicago Bears. The 26-year-old entered Week 4 as one of fantasy football's top kickers but missed his one field goal attempt in Vegas' 28-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite not having his best stuff against […]

Will Kenyan Drake Make An Impact In Week 5?

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake will look to be a role player in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears, but it isn't clear how much work he will get. Drake recorded just one carry for two yards in Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and didn't record any receptions despite functioning as […]

What Will Josh Jacobs' Impact Be In Week 5?

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs looks to get his season back on track as his team hosts the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The 25-year-old totaled 40 yards on 13 carries against the Chargers in Week 4, his first game since being sidelined in Week 1 with an ankle injury. Jacobs will probably […]

Elijah Mitchell Set To Return In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) was able to practice in full on Friday and was removed from the final Week 5 injury report. Mitchell will play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the last two games. Fellow rookie Trey Sermon didn't do a whole lot with lead-back duties in […]

Henry Ruggs III Should Have Another Big Game For Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III looks to stay on an upward trend in Week 5 as his team hosts the Chicago Bears. The Alabama product caught 3-of-6 targets for 60 yards in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and led the team with 60 receiving yards, giving him 297 yards […]

Hunter Renfrow Should Continue Producing In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow looks to keep rolling in Week 5 against the visiting Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old caught six receptions on eight targets for 45 yards in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and had a big third-quarter touchdown that gave Vegas its first lead of the game. Renfrow […]

Darren Waller Will Have Elevated Impact In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller is looking to have a very big impact as his team hosts the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The 29-year-old caught 4-of-7 targets for 50 yards and had a touchdown in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. While it wasn't Waller's most electric game, he remains one […]

Patriots O-Line In Shambles Entering Week 5

The New England Patriots have ruled out right guard Shaq Mason (abdomen) and right tackle Trent Brown (calf) for Week 5 against the Houston Texans, while left tackle Isaiah Wynn and left guard Mike Onwenu remain on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Center David Andrews is the only healthy starter on the offensive line heading into this […]

Derek Carr Should Have Better Performance In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is looking to have a much better day at the office as his team squares off against the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The 30-year-old signal-caller completed 21-of-34 passes for 196 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, a result […]

David Njoku Questionable For Week 5

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is questionable for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers after getting in a limited practice on Friday. Njoku missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so his return to practice Friday will give him a chance to suit up on Sunday. Through four games, Njoku has seven catches […]

George Kittle Listed As Doubtful

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) has been listed as doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Kittle had a full workload while playing through the calf injury in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he caught only four of his 11 targets for 40 yards. Make […]
