WR/CB Matchups to Target and Avoid - Week 5

The chart below is a snapshot of each team's cornerback group as it relates to allowing fantasy points. There are inherent flaws within the data compilation of cornerback play.

Week 5 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

After successfully predicting eight out of the top ten defenses last week, we may be starting to hit our groove. Some of them felt a bit like gimmes, but the Jets in the top-10 was the subject of criticism and watching the Bills round into form a bit was also nice. The only two outliers […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 5

Last week's wide receiver matchup article featured five receivers that finished inside the top-20, including Odell Beckham Jr. who finished as the highest scoring wide receiver in Week 4.

NFL Betting Picks For Week 5 (10/11/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

We took care of some business in Week 4, going 2-1, with the loss being a disappointing one. Baltimore took care of business, although a bad no-call on a would-be Marquise Brown touchdown made it a little more a sweat than need be. Jacksonville and Cincinnati covered the over with ease, and that was after […]

Golden Tate Has Good Matchup At Dallas

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate has struggled thus far in 2020 but has a good matchup in Week 5 at the Cowboys. Tate has just 14 catches for 103 yards in three games and has not scored a touchdown. Dallas, however, has been bad on defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing […]

Darius Slayton Looking To Break Slump Versus Dallas

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has been quiet for fantasy managers after a huge Week 1 performance, but he will look to bounce back in a good matchup versus the Cowboys. Slayton had 100-plus yards and two touchdowns in the first game of the season but has made just three catches in each […]

Giants Defense Not A Fantasy Option In Week 5

The New York Giants Defense faces a brutal matchup in Week 5 and should not be started in fantasy. New York is among the worst teams in the league at forcing turnovers and now face a Cowboys offense that is the only team in the NFL to rack up 2,000 yards so far this season […]

Evan Engram Has Good Matchup Against Cowboys

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been a disappointment for fantasy managers thus far, but is in a good position to bounce back in Week 5. Engram has 35 yards or less in three of four games this season and has not found the end zone as New York has struggled mightily to […]

Wayne Gallman Not A Fantasy Option In Week 5

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman is still playing behind Devonta Freeman and is a long shot to make noise in fantasy for Week 5.

Devonta Freeman Looking To Get Rolling With Giants

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman has the most touches of any running back on the team and now gets his best matchup since signing with Big Blue after Week 2. Freeman handled 11 carries last week while no other Giants runner had more than six. Freeman was also targeted in the passing game […]

Daniel Jones Looking To Get Back On Track Against Cowboys

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled mightily in 2020 but will look to get on track in a juicy matchup at Dallas. Jones hasn't thrown a touchdown since Week 1 and has thrown five interceptions to just two touchdowns on the season. As bad as Jones has played, Dallas offers a nice bounce-back […]
