Week 5 Wide Receiver Outlooks For Fantasy Football
Dontayvion Wicks, Green Bay Packers - Fantasy Football Outlook
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is set to start for the team as they head west to Los Angeles and SoFi Stadium to take on the Rams in Week 5. Wicks smashed last week in the Packers' rally that fell short against the Vikings, with five receptions, 78 yards and two touchdowns.
After finishing as the overall WR3 last week, Wicks is looking for an encore and he'll have a clearer runway to do just that. Romeo Doubs (personal) and Christian Watson (ankle) are both listed as doubtful on the final injury report for the Packers, so Wicks will need to be relied upon by Jordan Love as a key component in the passing game.
With the Rams allowing the second-most receiving yards per game to outside wide receivers, this matchup is a great one for Wicks. Slot him into your fantasy lineups as a low-end WR2 with clear WR1 upside in Week 5.

Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers - Fantasy Football Outlook
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will try to continue his unlikely run as a fantasy difference-maker when the team squares off against the Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday. Against New England last week, Jennings paced all 49ers receivers with three receptions on six targets for 88 yards.
It was one thing for Jennings to have a career day in Week 3 with Deebo Samuel Sr. and George Kittle absent, but it was quite the surprise to follow it up with a fantasy-useful performance with everyone healthy. Arizona's pass defense is tied for 14th in half-PPR points allowed to opposing wide receivers, which makes for a decent opportunity for San Francisco's receivers.
However, Jennings is still a dubious bet to continue producing like he has, given the talent of Samuel Sr., Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk demanding targets. Jennings is a consensus WR4 and a risky FLEX play in Week 5.

Wan'Dale Robinson, New York Giants - Fantasy Football Outlook
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (heel) is not listed on Friday's final injury report and has been cleared to play in Week 5 on Sunday at Lumen Field against the Seattle Seahawks. Robinson was limited in practices on Wednesday and Thursday but is fine to suit up and should be quarterback Daniel Jones' top aerial target with rookie Malik Nabers (concussion) ruled out.
Running back Devin Singletary (groin) is doubtful to play, so the Giants will be without two of their best playmakers in a tough road tilt. Expect the G-Men to have to throw plenty in this one. Because of that, Robinson feels like a lock for double-digit targets against Seattle.
The 23-year-old has already seen double-digit targets in two of his four games and had a season-high 11 receptions for a season-high 71 yards in the Week 4 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. Robinson is a solid flex play with upside for more.
