Read Justin Fields's fantasy football outlook for Week 5 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Many in the world of fantasy football are looking forward to the upside that Fields provides to a very boring Bears offense. There are pieces to work with in this offense, but the utilization has yet to click. The struggles of the play-calling show in advanced analytics as he ranks near the bottom in both yards per attempt (6.7) and fantasy points per drop back (0.37). This week could prove to be yet another tough game as he will be facing a Raiders defense that ranks 18th in points allowed to the position (18.6 FPPG).

Through four games, Sutton, despite being healthy for all contests, is just the […]
Last week, there were a high number of big names who graced this article - Justin Herbert, Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., Chris Godwin Jr. - and while it was just one week, none of them have me regretting my decision thus far. Yes, Harrison and Thomas both found the end zone, but neither […]
Wide receiver is where fantasy managers can get burned by chasing last week’s box score. In Week 5, I’m leaning heavily into opportunity, matchup, and underlying usage rather than simply trusting the names we drafted in August. Michael Wilson and Malik Nabers are walking into situations I want to attack, while some bigger names have […]
