Christian Kirk A Reliable But Low-End WR2 Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk heads to London to take on a tough Bills pass defense in Week 5. The train keeps on rolling for Kirk, who now has three top-26 WR PPR finishes in as many weeks. His dud performance in Week 1 seems to be a complete afterthought now, as he and […]

Jameson Williams, Josh Reynolds Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (non-injury) and Josh Reynolds (groin) are both listed as questionable for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers despite practicing in a full capacity. Williams is returning from a suspension, so while he's not injured, it appears the Lions aren't ready to remove him from the injury report until he […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Has RB1 Status Against Soft Bills Run Defense

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. heads into a Week 5 contest against the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. As good as the Bills have been on defense this year, they have given up the highest YPC in the entire league through 4 weeks (6.3, which is significantly higher than the second-worst team […]

The Ravens Defense A Top Option Against Steelers

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams comes into Week 5 as a great streaming option if they're not already rostered. They've produced double-digit fantasy weeks in two out of their four games so far and even when the opposing team has been able to score, the defense still puts up a respectable fantasy performance. Their games […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option Versus Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to keep his strong production through four weeks going against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Week 5. Cousins has averaged 303 passing yards per game and has thrown 11 touchdown passes through four games to start the season, putting him firmly in the QB1 discussion on a […]

Jaylen Warren Has Flex Appeal In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is currently the fantasy RB29 and should continue to provide value in a Week 5 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Although Najee Harris (hamstring) is fully expected to suit up on Sunday, Warren could be in line for an expanded role should Harris be limited in any capacity. The […]

Trevor Lawrence Not A QB1 Vs. Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence faces a tough test in Week 5, taking on the vaunted Bills defense in London. It's the second straight game across the pond for the Jaguars, having defeated Atlanta 23-7 a week prior. While the Jags were able to easily dispatch the Falcons, Lawrence still had another underwhelming game, making […]

Derek Carr Questionable For Week 5, Expected To Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 5. However, Saints insider Mike Triplett reports that Carr "seems almost certain to play" after practicing in a limited capacity. It's also worth noting that the veteran quarterback was a game-time decision last week and managed to play. At this rate, […]

Juwan Johnson Not Playing In Week 5

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) has officially been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the New England Patriots. This comes as no surprise after Johnson missed all three practices this week. Foster Moreau (ankle) and Jimmy Graham will operate as the Saints' top tight ends for the duration of Johnson's absence, […]

Najee Harris Limited In Practice On Friday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (hamstring) was added to the team's injury report on Friday following a limited practice session. Harris does not currently carry a game status and should be good to go for a Week 5 divisional bout with the Baltimore Ravens. Although Harris is yet to find the end zone this […]

Jonathan Taylor Questionable To Play In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was a full participant in practice this week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. Taylor is still on the PUP list, but if he's activated, that will be a very strong indication that the team expects him to play. Tennessee has a solid […]

Zay Flowers Has WR2 Potential In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has seen a great target share, especially as a rookie pass-catcher. This remains true even when Mark Andrews returned after missing the first game of the season. Currently, the Steelers give up an average of 46.8 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in PPR formats. The only […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Questionable For Week 5

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He was limited in practice all week long. The fact that Stevenson was able to practice in some capacity is great news, though we might not get official clarification on his status until Sunday morning. Given […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Considered Doubtful Against Carolina

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) is officially listed as doubtful for the team's Week 5 contest against the Carolina Panthers. The star wideout wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week and now seems as though he'll have to miss at least one game. With Josh Reynolds (groin) and Jameson Williams […]

Irv Smith Jr. Avoids Injury Designation

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. is no longer on the injury report heading into the Week 5 matchup against the Cardinals. In the two games that he's played so far this season, Smith has yet to get more than 17 yards and has only hauled in five passes out of nine targets. On […]

Tee Higgins Listed As Questionable Against Arizona

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ribs) received a questionable designation heading into Week 5 after registering a limited practice on Friday. A lot of the initial reports talked about Higgins missing multiple weeks, but it seems like his recovery is going faster than expected so far. Managers should have a plan in place to […]

Randy Gregory Traded To The 49ers

The Denver Broncos have traded linebacker Randy Gregory and a 2024 seventh-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2024 sixth-round pick. Originally, the veteran was going to be released, but they never formally did it when it was announced a couple of days ago. Instead, they trade up from the seventh round to […]

Mark Andrews Draws A Tough Matchup In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews returned to the top of the position last week with a 25-point outburst against the Browns. Now, he shifts his attention to a different division rival in the Pittsburgh Steelers who have only allowed an average of 7.0 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends which is the […]

Rashod Bateman No Longer On The Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (hamstring) cleared the injury report on Friday after being a full participant at practice all week. He was unable to play last week due to the hamstring issue, so the Ravens offense will welcome him back and could even have a fully healthy wide receiver corps if Odell Beckham […]

NFL DFS Stacks: Week 5 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Before we talk about Week 5, what a week we had in Week 4! I recommended a Buffalo Bills pairing (went off), a Chicago Bears stack (went off), and a Houston Texans stack (went off). I managed to cash 3rd place in the Milly […]

Pat Freiermuth Officially Ruled Out

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and has officially been ruled out for the Week 5 contest versus the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Freiermuth was doubtful to play this week after injuring his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. The good news for the 24-year-old […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Good To Go For Week 5

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) was removed from the Week 5 injury report on Friday and will play this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. The Giants kept Robinson limited in practices on a short week after the second-year wideout didn't make his season debut until Week 3 after tearing his ACL in […]

Cooper Kupp Will Make Season Debut Against Philly

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) will make his season debut this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. Kupp returned to full practices this week after missing the first four games while being on Injured Reserve. The Rams will likely officially activate him from IR […]

Gus Edwards A Shaky Flex Play In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has found the endzone once so far this season but has been efficient with most of his opportunities. The biggest issue with entering Edwards into any lineup is the competition he faces on his own team with Lamar Jackson, Justice Hill, and even Melvin Gordon III all taking carries […]

Kenny Pickett Will Play Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) was removed from the Week 5 injury report on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's divisional clash versus the Baltimore Ravens. The writing was on the wall for Pickett to suit up this weekend when he returned to a full practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old suffered a […]

Kyle Philips Hopes To Return Against Colts

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips (knee) said he felt good in his return to practice this week and is hoping he can return from Injured Reserve to play this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. The 24-year-old has already put in some full practices this week, but it remains to be seen […]

Lamar Jackson A QB1 Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is still the best and most consistent fantasy asset to have on this offense. Despite the fact that the Steelers have a solid defense, Jackson has been able to throw the ball efficiently as well as put up some big numbers on the ground. His biggest issue so far this […]

Saquon Barkley Officially Questionable For Week 5

The New York Giants have listed running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) as questionable for their Week 5 contest this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Barkley was limited in practices this week and appears to be making progress from the high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 2, but there's still a decent chance he misses his […]

Treylon Burks Ruled Out Against Colts

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) will not play in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Burks missed practice all week and will now sit out his second straight game with a knee injury. With the team's bye coming in Week 7, there's a chance that […]

Saints D/ST A Fringe Week 5 Play

The New Orleans Saints defense got shredded by Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield last week, giving up 26 points and 353 yards while grabbing an interception and recording one sack. The defense has steadily given up more and more points each week but could be in for a bounce-back week against a struggling New […]
