Tyrone Tracy Jr. Set To Lead The Giants Backfield

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. could see a significant workload in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks, with Devin Singletary (groin) doubtful to play. Tracy has yet to score a touchdown this season and has been limited to 41 receiving yards on four catches and just 29 rushing yards on 12 carries […]

Fantasy Football Injury Updates for Week 5: Jonathan Taylor, Malik Nabers, Joe Mixon, Davante Adams, Brian Robinson Jr.

For fantasy football managers who are seeing injury designations up and down their rosters, to quote Yogi Berra, it's getting late early. Week 5 brings a new cycle of injury news, this time involving running backs Jonathan Taylor and Joe Mixon, wide receivers Malik Nabers and Davante Adams, and tight ends Trey McBride, George Kittle, and David […]

New Orleans D/ST A Sneaky Option Against Chiefs

The New Orleans Saints defense has held opposing offenses to 20 points or fewer through the first four weeks of the season. The team is averaging two takeaways and 2.5 sacks per game as well. In Week 5, the Saints hit the road to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night. The Chiefs are […]

NFL DFS: Jets vs Vikings DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks - London Showdown Slate (Week 5)

We are back again, RotoBallers! Thursday Night Football was a banger for once and an absolute shootout. I would have been close to taking down a tournament if Chris Godwin had done more. Alas, maybe today is the day we make that happen. The London games have trended towards low scoring in general over the […]

Rashid Shaheed Ranks As WR3 In Week 5

The New Orleans Saints' tendency to run 12 personnel concentrates their passing attack on wide receivers Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave. Shaheed owns a 25.5% target share as a result and, leaving out the egg he laid in Week 3, he is averaging 18.3 PPR points per game in 2024. In Week 5, the Saints […]

Derek Carr A QB2 In Week 5

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr started the season by posting more than 20 fantasy points in back-to-back games. However, in Weeks 3 and 4 the signal-caller couldn't crack double digits. Carr went 28-for-36 last week, setting new highs in completions and pass attempts in the young season, but he failed to reach 250 passing […]

Fantasy Football WR Injury Reports: Week 5 Updates For Davante Adams, Malik Nabers, Khalil Shakir, more

Fantasy football's number-one receiver will sit out this week, a veteran is pushing his way to another team, and the injury for an emerging wideout is still a mystery. Other than that, it's a relatively quiet wide receiver injury report for the week. To keep close tabs on all of the news across the NFL, […]

Jauan Jennings A Risky Start In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will try to continue his unlikely run as a fantasy difference-maker when the team squares off against the Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday. Against New England last week, Jennings paced all 49ers receivers with three receptions on six targets for 88 yards. It was one thing for […]

Deebo Samuel Sr. Looks For More Volume In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. will line up against the Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday. Last week versus New England, Samuel Sr. caught three of five targets for 58 yards plus two carries for 14 yards rushing after spending some time on the injury report. His day, disappointing as it was, […]

Cairo Santos A Strong Fantasy Kicker Option Against The Panthers

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid fantasy option for Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. Although he has struggled in the past two weeks, managing only one field goal in each game, he did convert all three of his extra point attempts and his lone field goal in the Bears' 24-18 victory over […]

Bears Defense Poised To Challenge Panthers Offense

The Chicago Bears' defense and special teams aim to maintain their strong performance against the Carolina Panthers this week. While some may be hesitant to back the Bears due to the Panthers averaging 30 points per game with former Bear Andy Dalton at quarterback, the Bears represent the most formidable challenge Dalton has faced. Dalton […]

Cole Kmet A Borderline Starter With Upside Against The Panthers

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is a borderline starter this week, thanks to a favorable matchup against the struggling Carolina Panthers secondary. In Week 5, Kmet will face the 19th-ranked pass defense in the NFL, which allows an average of 209.3 yards per game, presenting a solid opportunity for him. However, with all three […]

Rome Odunze A WR4 With Upside Against The Panthers

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze is set for a bounce back this Sunday against a vulnerable Carolina Panthers secondary. In Week 5, Odunze will go up against the 19th-ranked pass defense in the league, allowing an average of 209.3 yards per game—an encouraging matchup for him. He has a chance to score this […]

Keenan Allen A Potential WR3 With Upside Against Panthers' Bad Secondary

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) aims to bounce back this Sunday in Chicago against a notably weak Carolina Panthers secondary. After missing some time due to a heel injury, Allen returned last week but saw limited action, with just three targets and seven air yards. The Bears' offense has struggled to succeed in […]

DJ Moore A WR2 Play Against Panthers' Weak Secondary

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is a strong WR2 option this week against the struggling Carolina Panthers secondary. Moore is tied for seventh in the NFL for red zone targets, helping to maintain his fantasy value. Although he had a modest performance last week, he salvaged it with a touchdown. In last year's matchup […]

Roschon Johnson A High-End RB4 Option Against The Struggling Panthers

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson is set to build on his increased usage in Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. He aims to capitalize on a favorable matchup against a Panthers defense ranked 29th in the league, allowing an average of 148.8 rushing yards per game. While Johnson maintained a consistent snap rate of […]

D'Andre Swift A Potential RB3 In Favorable Matchup Against The Panthers

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is a solid RB3 for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, presenting a promising opportunity. Last week, he had his best performance of the season against the Rams, totaling 16 carries for 93 yards, one touchdown, and seven receptions for 72 yards. Before Week 4, Swift had struggled, not […]

Caleb Williams A QB2 With Upside Against The Panthers

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams offers a high-risk, high-reward choice as he faces the struggling Carolina Panthers. In Week 5, Williams will encounter the NFL's 19th-ranked pass defense, which allows an average of 209.3 yards per game—an advantageous matchup for him. He's poised to find the end zone against the Panthers, who […]

Brandon Aiyuk Still A WR2 In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk gets another opportunity to break out of his early-season funk when the 49ers face the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 5. Last week, Aiyuk disappointed fantasy managers with two receptions of five targets for 48 yards. Even more disheartening was perennial fantasy non-factor Jauan Jennings continuing his […]

Cam Little A Decent Play In Week 5 Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little should be a solid fantasy play in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. The rookie kicker has been pretty good to start the year and had his best fantasy performance of the season last week against the Houston Texans. As the offense continues to get better, so should Little's fantasy […]

Joey Slye Remains Top-12 Kicker For Week 5

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye looks to build off last week's productive outing with a big game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. The veteran was the 11th-ranked kicker in terms of fantasy points last week, and this week, he benefits from an even more favorable matchup. The Dolphins have allowed the second-most […]

Jaguars D/ST An Underrated Option Against Colts

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense/special teams unit could be an interesting waiver wire add in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. With Jonathan Taylor already ruled out and Anthony Richardson potentially also out, that leaves an offense led by Joe Flacco and Trey Sermon in the backfield. While Flacco played solid in relief last week, he […]

Patriots Defense A Great Streamer Versus Miami

The New England Patriots' defense should garner significant fantasy appeal heading into Week 5 versus the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have limped to the finish line in each of their last three games, losing to the Bills, Seahawks, and Titans all by at least 19 points. The absence of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been a […]

Tank Bigsby An Interesting Flex In Deeper Leagues

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby has been slowly reintroduced into the game plan since missing Week 2, and that should continue in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. He was limited in practice all week, but fortunately enters Sunday's game with no injury tag. While he still remains the backup to Travis Etienne Jr., […]

Hunter Henry Can't Be Trusted Against Dolphins

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been a disappointment in fantasy football this season, contributing two catches and fewer than 20 yards in three of his four games so far. The lone outlier was an eight-catch, 109-yard showing back in Week 2, but it seems unlikely that Henry will replicate that production anytime […]

Demario Douglas Still Tough To Trust Against Dolphins

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas is an unreliable fantasy football option heading into Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. While Douglas did break free for seven catches and 69 yards in Week 3, he's posted a total of five catches for 25 yards over his other three games. Not only has the second-year […]

Antonio Gibson Slated To Make First Patriots Start In Week 5

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson is expected to start at running back in Week 5 after head coach Jerod Mayo announced that Rhamondre Stevenson had lost the starting job. Stevenson has fumbled four times through four games this season while Gibson has demonstrated impressive burst and productivity with 219 scrimmage yards over his […]

Christian Kirk A Potential WR2 In PPR Leagues Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk will look to continue his upward fantasy trajectory in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. After a rough first two weeks, Kirk has turned things around, and now serves as a reliable starting fantasy receiver, especially in PPR leagues. The former Arizona Cardinal isn't much of a threat in […]
