As Week 5 approaches, some highly speculated backfields from the preseason start to finally take their shape.

These days, teams now view the position as interchangeable as ever. It appears the days of “workhorse” […]

Should I Start Calvin Ridley in Week 5? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Calvin Ridley was suspended by the NFL for the entirety of last season due to a violation of the league's gambling policy. Earlier this offseason, the Atlanta Falcons traded him to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for multiple draft picks based on the stipulations. The AFC South franchise viewed him as an ideal player to […]

Broncos Defense Has Favorable Matchup Against Jets

The Denver Broncos defense has the dubious distinction of allowing a league-high 37.5 points per game heading into a favorable Week 5 matchup at home against the New York Jets, mainly because of their 70-point fiasco against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. They've also allowed a league-high 461.5 total yards per game and a […]

Wil Lutz A Sleeper Streaming Option At Kicker

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz missed a field goal and an extra point in his debut with the team in the season opener, but since then he's made all five of his field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries in three games. Heading into Week 5 against the New York Jets in Denver, […]

Adam Trautman Belongs On The Waiver Wire

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman should be as far away from fantasy rosters as possible after failing to catch any of his four targets over the last three games. Trautman caught all five of his targets in his Broncos debut in the season opener for 34 yards after Greg Dulcich (hamstring) went down with […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Remains A Boom-Or-Bust Deep-League Flex Play

Believe it or not, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. leads the team with 242 receiving yards through the first four weeks. He's done it on just nine receptions (11 targets) and is averaging a healthy 26.9 yards per catch as a speedy big-play threat down the field. Mims has also scored a […]

Jerry Jeudy Should Play After Full Practice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) is back on the injury report for Week 5 with a knee injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday, but a return to a full practice on Thursday puts him on track to play this Sunday in a difficult matchup against the New York Jets. Jeudy is […]

Courtland Sutton Has Difficult Matchup Ahead

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has exceeded expectations through the first four weeks of the 2023 season, checking in as the WR18 in half-PPR scoring with three touchdowns in four games played. He leads the team in receptions (20) and targets (28), is second in receiving yards (216) and is tied for the lead […]

Samaje Perine Could See More Work In Week 5

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine was expected to have a much bigger workload early on in his first season in Denver. He has carried the ball 18 times for 66 yards (3.67 yards per carry) and has 11 catches for 95 yards. Undrafted rookie Jaleel McLaughlin has so far outshined the 28-year-old. Perine could […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Phased Out Of Offense In Week 5 Loss

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had six carries for 10 yards along with four receptions for 33 yards in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. Despite being a popular name heading into this matchup, Robinson had very little involvement against the Bears due to the Commanders falling behind by so much so early. […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Could Have Elevated Role Against Jets

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin was a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after leading Denver's backfield in the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears because of Javonte Williams' (quadriceps) injury. McLaughlin saw a season-high seven carries for 72 yards (10.29 yards per tote) and added three receptions (three targets) for 32 […]

Russell Wilson Has Shy-Away Matchup In Week 5

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has so far looked rejuvenated in head coach Sean Payton's offense through four weeks. He's been a top-10 fantasy QB with a 67.4 completion percentage, 1,104 passing yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions. The offense hasn't been the issue in Denver, which is huge considering how badly they struggled under […]

Cole Kmet Scores Again In Bears Win

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet caught five passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Bears 40-20 win on Thursday night against the Commanders. Kmet backed up a fantastic Week 4 performance by finding the end zone for the third time in the last two games. Kmet has now racked up 12 receptions […]

Terry McLaurin Quiet In Week 5 Loss

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four-of-five targets for 49 yards in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. After a strong outing in Week 4, it was surprising to see little from the veteran receiver considering quarterback Sam Howell finished his day with 51 pass attempts. McLaurin drew a long pass interference penalty that […]

D.J. Moore Explodes For 230 Yards, Three Touchdowns

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore exploded for eight receptions, 230 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 40-20 win over the Commanders. Moore was unstoppable from the jump and showed exceptional will to gain huge chunks of extra yardage after the catch. With two dominant performances back-to-back, Moore has shot up the fantasy charts […]

Justin Fields' Huge First Half Paces First Bears Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 15 of 29 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns in the Bears' (1-4) first win of the season over the Commanders. Fields paced Chicago's 40-point effort with 27 first-half points. He was dynamite down the field, connecting with wide receiver D.J. Moore for explosive play after explosive play. […]

Curtis Samuel Catches Touchdown In Week 5

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught six-of-seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. During a negative game script that lasted the entirety of the matchup, Samuel fell into being Washington's second-leading receiver. There isn't much that should be taken from this game, but it's clear that […]

Cole Holcomb Is A Quality Start in Tackle-Heavy IDP Leagues

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb has a favorable matchup against a run-heavy Baltimore Ravens team. The Ravens run the ball about 35 times a game, slightly less than the league-leading Philadelphia Eagles. Holcomb has excelled against the run, making 10 solo tackles and only missing 5.0% of his attempted tackles on run plays. Overall, he […]

Sam Howell Tosses Two Touchdowns In Loss To Chicago

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell completed 37-of-51 passes for 388 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception along with four rushes for 19 yards and a two-point conversion in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. As the Commanders fell behind early, the offense leaned into a pass-heavy game plan for this entire matchup. Howell didn't look […]

Logan Thomas Peppered With Targets Against Chicago

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas caught nine-of-11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown along with a lost fumble in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. Coming into this matchup, few thought that Thomas would be the focal point of this Washington offense. However, he ended up leading the team in targets on his […]

Alim McNeill A Possible Sleeper in Week 5

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill is a quality sleeper candidate in a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. McNeill, a 2021 third-round draft pick, has broken out, making a sack in each of the past two games. His two sacks tie his career high. He is averaging 29 pass rush snaps per […]

Aidan Hutchinson Has Favorable Matchup in Week 5

Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson has a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, in which he will attempt to record multiple sacks for the third straight game. The Panthers have allowed pressure on 28% of their passing plays, the sixth-highest rate, and the Lions have created pressure on 34% of pass […]

Khalil Herbert, Travis Homer Injured Thursday Night

Chicago Bears running backs Khalil Herbert (ankle) and Travis Homer (hamstring) were both injured in Thursday night's game against the Washington Commanders and are questionable to return. Herbert's right ankle had to be taped after he was injured in the third quarter. Rookie Roschon Johnson (concussion) was already ruled out with a concussion, so Chicago's […]

Josh Uche Must Step Up In Week 5

New England Patriots edge rusher Josh Uche must step up in a Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints in the absence of Patriots sack leader Matt Judon. Judon will have surgery to address a biceps injury he suffered in Week 4. Uche has played well as the Patriots' pass rush specialist. He has […]

Von Miller Makes The Trip To London

Buffalo Bills star pass-rusher Von Miller (knee) is making the trip to London with his teammates, and his first two practices back gave him no issues, according to sources.
