Derek Carr Has Tough Week 5 Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will have a tough test at Kansas City in Week 5. The Chiefs Defense has been very good against the pass so far this season. They are allowing less than 200 passing yards per game, just four total passing touchdowns, and a quarterback passer rating of 72.9. Carr has […]

Bills-Chiefs Moved Out Of Thursday Night Next Week

The game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs scheduled for Thursday night in Week 6 is being moved from Thursday to next Sunday, but it will revert back if there are more positive tests in Tennessee, which would postpone the Titans Week 5 contest against the Bills on Tuesday, according to a source. […]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - Defense vs Position

Believe it or not, there are plenty of ways to enjoy NFL football without referring to or even understanding statistics. Just ask the 76% of Americans who watch the Super Bowl each year without having watched a single NFL game the entire season prior to that day. Nearly 35% of those viewers can't name a […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Play In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) missed practice on Wednesday due to a minor knee injury and sat out on Thursday due to a stomach ache, according to a league source.

49ers Defense A Solid Starting Option In Week 5

The 49ers Defense is in a great position going into Week 5 as they face the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are averaging 23.3 points per game this year, the ninth-fewest in the league. They have also been turnover-prone as quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown five interceptions on the year. The 49ers have held two of […]

Kendrick Bourne Not A Reliable Starting Option In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne leads all 49ers wide receivers in receptions (13), targets (22) and receiving yards (197) this year. However, his production came while the team was significantly shorthanded at both receiver and tight end. The team's No. 1 receiver Deebo Samuel made his 2020 debut in Week 4 and star […]

Deebo Samuel Is A WR3 Option In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel made his 2020 debut last week against the Philadelphia Eagles. Samuel suffered a broken foot over the summer and began the season on Injured Reserve. Samuel wasn't used heavily in Week 4, seeing just 25 snaps, but he caught all three of his targets for 35 yards and […]

Brandon Aiyuk A Solid WR3 In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has begun to break out with touchdowns in each of his last two games. This week, the 49ers face a Miami Dolphins team that is allowing 285 passing yards per game, the fifth-most in the league. The 49ers could see the return of Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) in […]

George Kittle Set To Flourish In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had quite the return to action in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kittle caught all 15 of his targets for 183 yards and a touchdown. The performance was all the more impressive given the shaky quarterback play the team had in the game as backup quarterback Nick […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Tough To Trust In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. was a disappointing fantasy performer in Week 4 following his two-touchdown outing in Week 3. He managed just 19 yards on four touches in Week 4. This week, the 49ers have a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins, but they appear somewhat likely to have their No. […]

Jerick McKinnon A Solid Play In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has turned in two straight solid performances as the team's No. 1 back. He's compiled over 150 total yards and two touchdowns over the past two weeks. This week, the 49ers appear somewhat likely to have Raheem Mostert (knee) back on the field. Mostert was the team's clear […]

Raheem Mostert A Must-Start If He's Active In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) appears to be trending towards making his return to action in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. Mostert has missed the past two games with an MCL sprain, but he has returned to practice on a limited basis this week. Mostert got off to a phenomenal start […]

Jimmy Garoppolo A Potential QB2 If He Starts In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) has returned to practice on a limited basis this week and appears to be trending towards making his return to action in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. Garoppolo suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 2 and has missed the past two weeks as Nick Mullens and […]

Cardinals Defense A Low-End Week 5 Starting Option

The Cardinals Defense is in a good place to produce a solid fantasy output in Week 5. In a near must-win game following two straight losses, the Cardinals face a New York Jets offense that is averaging just 16.3 points per game this year, the second-fewest in the league. The Jets will have backup quarterback […]

Dan Arnold Trending Upward, But Not A Week 5 Starting Option

Arizona Cardinals tight end Dan Arnold turned in his best game of the year in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. He caught all four of his targets for 39 yards, finishing second on the team in receiving yards in the game as quarterback Kyler Murray managed just 133 passing yards. Arnold is the clear […]

Larry Fitzgerald A WR3/Flex Start In PPR In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has disappointed fantasy owners significantly the past two weeks. In total, over the past two weeks, he has just three catches for four yards on six targets. However, in the two Cardinals wins this year, Fitzgerald has caught a total of 11 passes for 84 yards. In Week 5, […]

Christian Kirk Is A Flex Option In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk returned to action in Week 4 after a one-game absence and went on to catch three of his five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown. He had the second-most targets of any Cardinals wide receiver in the game, trailing only DeAndre Hopkins (nine). This week, the Cardinals face […]

Andy Isabella A Risky Start In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella was showing some signs of breaking out after Week 3 when he caught all four of his targets for 47 yards and two touchdowns. However, the performance came with Christian Kirk on the sidelines. Kirk returned in Week 4 and Isabella promptly saw his production drop off significantly, as […]

DeAndre Hopkins Geared Up For Massive Week 5

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is set up to have a big game in Week 5 against a New York Jets team that has allowed 32.8 points per game this year, third-most in the league. The Cardinals have dropped two straight games and are desperately in need of a win in this game, which […]

Chase Edmonds Has Flex Potential In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has gotten a lot of recent buzz in the fantasy community due to the struggles of the team's No. 1 back Kenyan Drake. However, the Cardinals are yet to give any indication that they plan to reduce Drake's workload and feature Edmonds more heavily. Edmonds has 13 receptions and […]

Kenyan Drake In Position To Bounce Back In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake has been one of the biggest non-injury, early round busts of the young fantasy season. He's averaging just 3.8 yards per carry with only five receptions and one touchdown through four games. However, he's regularly seen a heavy workload this year with 67 carries on the season, and the […]

Kyler Murray Set Up For Solid Week 5 Performance

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has had a bit of an underwhelming start to the season, despite compiling 11 total touchdowns and 265 rushing yards through four games. He's thrown seven interceptions and in Week 4, he managed just 133 passing yards against the Carolina Panthers. This week, Murray and the Cardinals face a New […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 5

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]
