Fantasy Football Week 5 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dak Prescott, Najee Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, Calvin Ridley

A couple of weeks ago, a friend messaged and jokingly scolded me for listing half of his roster in my busts column. It wasn't a jab at him. We weren't even matched up that week.
