Jimmy Garoppolo A Capable QB2 In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who is averaging 225 yards per game in his two starts, faces a middle-of-the-pack Carolina Panthers defense in Week 5. The Panthers rank No. 12 in limiting opposing teams' passing yards and No. 13 in completion percentage, but they are only No. 30 in sacks. Garoppolo has completed just […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 5 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Another week with odd conditions that affect us posting a sweep. Some crappy weather in Baltimore affected the gameplay, to the tune of four turnovers combined and the total fell under by eight points. The Dallas covering -3 was probably the easiest bet we'll place and hit all year, while the under with Cleveland and […]

Najee Harris Draws Tough Matchup In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris will head on the road to take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. Harris is off to a slow start in 2022, averaging just 3.48 yards per carry through the first four games. The Bills have been tough on opposing running backs this season, allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy […]

Kenny Pickett A QB3 In First Career Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett took over for the benched Mitch Trubisky at halftime of a Week 4 loss to the New York Jets and wound up completing 10 of his 13 passes for 120 yards and three interceptions while rushing for two touchdowns. Now installed as the Pittsburgh starting quarterback moving forward, the rookie […]

Browns Defense Draws Tough Matchup In Week 5

The Cleveland Browns defense has underperformed at times through the first four games of the 2022 season. Things won't get much easier for them in Week 5 as they welcome the Los Angeles Chargers to First Energy Stadium. The Chargers have an explosive offense, which has led to them allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points […]

Cade York A Quality Option In Week 5

Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers at home in Week 5. York has been solid for Cleveland thus far, having hit all eight of his field goals and nine of his 11 extra points through four games. The rookie kicker should be busy in Week 5 in what […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers, Rookies and Draft Sleepers (Atlantic Division) - RJ Barrett, Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, Scottie Barnes

The regular season is inching closer by the day, and most offseason moves have already been completed – barring a surprising Simmons/Beal/Dame trade before tipoff. Each team's depth chart is mostly complete, so it makes sense to start analyzing how it could work come October. Before diving into the fantasy season, RotoBaller has you covered […]

David Njoku A TE1 In Week 5

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has been on a hot streak of late, having caught 14 passes for 162 yards over his past two games. Njoku has emerged as the No. 2 option in the Cleveland passing game, behind only Amari Cooper. He will look to keep the hot streak going in a Week […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones A Boom/Bust Flex In Week 5

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones has been up-and-down in 2022, posting two big games and two games where he essentially disappeared. He will look to make a difference in the box score in Week 5's home matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have struggled against opposing receivers, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points […]

Amari Cooper A WR3 In Week 5 Against Chargers

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is coming off a slow game that saw him catch just one ball for nine yards in a Week 4 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Despite changing teams in the offseason, Cooper has been as inconsistent as ever, catching just four balls in two of his games while combining […]

Kareem Hunt A Solid Flex In Week 5

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt kicked his season off with a two-touchdown game back in Week 1. The talented running back has yet to find the end zone again, however, as teammate Nick Chubb has scored five touchdowns in Weeks 2 to 4. Hunt is still plenty involved in the Cleveland offense as he […]

Nick Chubb Draws A Plus Matchup In Week 5

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is off to an excellent start in 2022, racking up 459 rushing yards and five touchdowns through four games. He will look to keep rolling in a home game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5. The Chargers have struggled against running backs in 2022 as they are […]

Jacoby Brissett A QB3 In Week 5

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett will take on the Los Angeles Chargers at home in Week 5. Brissett has played well for Cleveland in 2022, posting 830 passing yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions through four games.

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. It is Week 5! The NFL season is speeding along but it is time for another Premium Stack article. After Atlanta not doing as well as I would have liked, I look to bounce back and avoid another disaster. With how crazy this NFL […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Finishes With Five Catches

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was expected to be the focal point of this offense heading into this Week 5 matchup. The Colts were without star running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle), which means Pittman would be their next best player on offense. Sadly for fantasy managers, the Broncos secondary was able to contain […]

Alec Pierce Snags Eight Receptions

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has been surprisingly solid for this offense over the last few weeks. He continued his strong stretch of play against the Denver Broncos in Week 5. The rookie wideout hauled in eight of his nine targets for 81 yards in the win over the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. […]

Kenneth Walker III Limited During Thursday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice session. The rookie back is reportedly nursing a shoulder injury, but the fact he was limited means it might be minor. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see what happens during Friday's practice with Walker. Regardless, he has been off to […]

Chargers Sign Taylor Bertolet

The Los Angeles Chargers have added kicker Taylor Bertolet to their practice squad on Thursday. The team did this as insurance in case Dustin Hopkins (quad) is unable to play in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. Bertolet has never played in an NFL game, which makes him tough to trust as a streaming option. […]

Brian Hoyer Placed On Injured Reserve

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer (concussion) has been placed on the injured reserve. That means, Hoyer will miss at least the next four weeks of action. Mac Jones (ankle) is still banged up as well, so Bailey Zappe could be asked to start in Week 5. At this moment, it sounds like the Pats […]

Rondale Moore Lands On Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) has been added to the injury report after getting in a limited practice session on Thursday. This sounds like a new injury since Moore was dealing with a hamstring problem prior to this injury. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see what happens during Friday's practice. Greg […]

Gerald Everett Gets In Limited Practice Session

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday. Everett was only able to get in a limited practice session, which is concerning. It sounds like the injury could've occurred in practice, but regardless it's a problem for fantasy managers. What happens on Friday will have a big […]

Darnell Mooney Gets Solid Matchup Against The Vikings

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney will take on a Vikings defense that is allowing the 14th most fantasy points to opposing receivers through four games. Mooney's season has gotten off to a rough start but flashed in Week 4 with four receptions for 94 yards. The Bears passing offense ranks dead last in the […]

Cole Kmet Carries Little Fantasy Value Into Week 5

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will try and turn his season around Week 5 against the Vikings. It has been a rough start for the third-year tight end and he has amassed only five catches for 56 yards with zero touchdowns through the first four games. Kmet is a solid blocker but the Bears […]

Khalil Herbert Gets Week 5 Green-Light Matchup

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert will go up against a leaky Vikings run defense in Week 5. Herbert has racked up 232 rushing yards in the past two games filling in for starter David Montgomery. But with Montgomery trending towards being a game-time decision, however, Herbert's fantasy value is a bit cloudy even though […]

Struggling Justin Fields Not Fantasy Viable In Week 5

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will take on a Vikings defense in Week 5 that is allowing the 17th fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks through four games. The Bears offense is averaging an unsightly 97.2 passing yards a game, dead-last in the NFL and Fields has been running for his life. Couple that with […]

Coby White Expected To Play On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (knee) had an MRI after suffering a left knee contusion in the preseason opener versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Fortunately, he didn't sustain any damage, so he will be good to go for Friday's meeting with Denver. The 22-year-old has played three seasons in Chicago since being drafted in 2019. […]

Ayo Dosunmu May Start Until Lonzo Ball Returns

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu may start this season until Lonzo Ball (knee) returns. Dosunmu was selected in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft. He played well in his 77 games as a rookie. However, the 22-year-old was much more productive in 40 appearances in the starting lineup, averaging 10.9 points, 5.4 assists, […]

Mac Jones Remains Limited Thursday

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) remains limited on Thursday. He logged back-to-back limited sessions and could suit up for Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. He was dealing with a high-ankle sprain and was ultimately ruled out for Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old has struggled this season, throwing for […]
