Teddy Bridgewater Gets Good Matchup in Week 5

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has averaged 29 pass attempts per game, but has only reached 6.13 yards per attempt. He has resorted to check-downs and short passes, severely limiting his fantasy potential. However, Bridgewater draws a good Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have given up the 11th-most points to […]

Lamar Jackson A Must-Start In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has thrown for 1,100 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions so far this season. Jackson has also added 238 yards on the ground with one touchdown on 36 attempts. The Ravens play a Steelers Defense in Week 5 that's allowed over 1,000 passing yards and hasn't been very impressive. Expect […]

Joe Flacco Still Has To Prove Consistency

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco posted his best performance of the season last week in a matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars as he totaled over 300 yards and three touchdowns. Flacco looks to keep the ball rolling against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5, who host a middle of the road secondary at the […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag - Week 5

This article's content may vary week-to-week, but generally, it will be answering questions fielded from either the @RotoBallerNFL twitter account or my personal one (@RotoSurgeon). This week, the focus is on start/sit questions, and there were plenty. Every week, many of us struggle with which quarterback to start, or who to flex, and I am […]

Inside the Tent - Week 5 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Pass Rush vs QB Matchups to Watch - Week 5

Week 5 is here, and we have NFL offenses rocking and rolling. Defenses are adjusting to the new rules of pass interference, and life is getting even harder on cornerbacks that are trying to play the ball without causing too much contact. In the trenches, offensive lines were dealing with chemistry issues to start the […]

Kyle Allen Could Surprise In Week 5

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen may post better numbers in Week 5 against Jacksonville. Though the Jaguars Defense has done well at stopping the run, it has allowed 286 yards per game through the air this season. While it would be easy to blame the Jags statistical woes in this area on Patrick Mahomes' stellar […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Guide for Week 5

It has been a very busy week on the fantasy trade market. A major reason for the flurry of trade talks is there just weren't a lot of significant impact players on free agency this week. If you really want to improve your team heading into Week 5, you have to make a deal before […]

Luke Falk To Start For Jets Sunday

New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk will make his second career start Sunday at the Eagles. Falk has struggled after being forced into action in Week 2, he's only thrown for 296 yards in a game and a half with no touchdowns and an interception. In fairness to the backup QB, those games were against […]

Philip Rivers May Underperform In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers may not put up huge numbers in Week 5, but it's probably not going to be because of his play. It will likely be more related to Denver's weakness to the run. So far, Denver's defense has been one of the worst in the league against the run, and […]

Week 5 DFS Cash Game Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 5 brings a fresh new look to the NFL as the games head to London for the first time. The good news is that the game remains in the 1 pm window and therefore ensures we have a nice juicy 12-game slate for our perusal. However, with the Lions on the bye this week […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 5

Each week in this column, we'll highlight a few first-year players who are worth keeping your eye on. Not all of the players listed below are must-starts, but all of them are in a position to be viable fantasy options. If any of these names are sitting out on your waiver wire, you should keep […]

Week 5 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

In what's becoming a trend, the Week 4 DFS slate was chock full of surprising performances. Sure, we saw some of the top-tier players mixed in atop the leaderboard, but when players such as Jacoby Brissett and Joe Flacco finish inside the top-10 you know it was a tough week to predict. There were the […]

Jared Goff Average In Week 5 Defeat

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff threw 29 completions on 49 attempts for 295 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the team’s 30-29 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Again, as is the case with all of Goff’s performances, he was both impressive (hitting Robert Woods on a perfect pass to set up a potential […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Searching For His Groove

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still looking for consistency entering Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. Garoppolo has five passing touchdowns through three games but has also committed five turnovers (four interceptions). The undefeated Niners have leaned heavily on their elite run blocking unit and rushing attack, minimizing their demands on the passing […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Bounce Back Against Colts

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes did not throw a touchdown in the victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 4. It was the first game this season that Mahomes has been unable to throw at least one touchdown. He completed 24 of 42 passes for 315 passing yards, but fantasy owners expected more from […]

Kyler Murray A Good Streamer

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will square off with the struggling Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5. Murray has produced a mixed bag the last couple of weeks, but he's 14th in the league in fantasy points per game this season. Murray will likely be without wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring), which […]

Tom Brady Could Play Conservative Against Redskins

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a fantastic matchup against the hapless Redskins in Week 5. Brady has thrown seven touchdowns this season with only one interception but could play it safe if this game gets out of hand early. The Redskins Defense has already allowed three touchdown passes to three different quarterbacks […]

Chase Daniel Should Be Serviceable In Week 5

Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel is in line to start in Week 5 against the Raiders in London. With starter Mitch Trubisky on the shelf with a left shoulder injury, Daniel gets a full week of practice with the starters. The veteran backup played admirably last week against the Vikings, passing for 195 yards with […]

Mitch Trubisky Officially Out For Week 5

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Raiders in London. Trubisky was never expected to play in this game, especially with the Bears on bye in Week 6. There's a good chance that he winds up missing just this one game. Backup […]

Josh Allen, Devin Singletary Questionable For Week 5

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (concussion) and rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) are both questionable to play in Week 5 against the Titans. Allen returned to a full practice on Friday, so it looks like he's cleared the concussion protocol and should be out there this Sunday, albeit in a tough matchup that will […]

Colt McCoy Will Start Against Patriots

The Washington Redskins will start quarterback Colt McCoy in Week 5 against the Patriots. Case Keenum was benched in Week 4 and rookie Dwayne Haskins came in to throw three more interceptions, so head coach Jay Gruden went with the QB most familiar with his offense. McCoy draws an extremely tough matchup in the New […]

Jay Gruden Not A Fan Of Dwayne Haskins?

There is a sense that Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden wasn't on board with the team drafting rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins in the first round, but it's just speculation, according to a report from The Washington Post. As a result, Haskins can sense that Gruden isn't high on him. Haskins came into the Week […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 5

Before we get into the waiver wire analysis, I want to state that the Patriots have put together a football dynasty like none we've ever seen. However, I think we should all agree that a 16-game season is a whole lot less taxing when six of them every year are against the Dolphins, Bills, and […]

Sam Darnold Won't Play In Week 5

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (mono) was not cleared by team doctors to play on Sunday at Philadelphia. Darnold had been practicing as he tries to return from illness, but was not given the green light to suit up in game action. The Jets will turn to Luke Falk again to start Sunday and […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/4/19

We're working with another two-game slate here, but these games both have over/unders exceeding 60. UCF and Cincinnati will square off in what will be one of the more exciting games of the weekend. New Mexico and San Jose State should be exciting as well, with two offenses that can score the ball. Let's dive […]

Baker Mayfield a QB2 in Week 5

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in his best performance of the season in a Week 4 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He will look to build upon that in a road game against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. Mayfield sets up as a QB2 in fantasy for Week 5, thanks to a […]

Gardner Minshew Has Tough Week 5 Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew faces a Panthers Defense in Week 5 that's allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and held Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson to no touchdowns and under 200 yards passing in Week 4. That's not a great sign for Minshew's fantasy viability, and he's a low-end QB2 at best in […]

Russell Wilson Playing Into MVP Conversation

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson put on a phenomenal show on Thursday night as he threw four touchdown passes and zero interceptions in Seattle's defeat of the Rams. Wilson has now thrown for 12 touchdowns and zero interceptions this season, and he's recorded a ridiculous 126.5 passer rating through the first five games of the […]
