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.

Through the first four weeks of the season, Jacksonville has the fifth-most fantasy... Read More

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... Read More

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... Read More

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... Read More

Eric Saubert Secures Season-High Five Catches In Week 5

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.

The 25-year-old wideout had a season-low... Read More

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... Read More

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... Read More

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.

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... Read More

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.

Giants Defense Isn't Worth Consideration In Week 5

The defense of the New York Giants shouldn't be on anyone's radar in Week 5 versus the Green Bay Packers.

Read More

Graham Gano A Solid Option In Week 5 Against Packers

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is a solid option in fantasy entering a Week 5 matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
