Week 5 Fantasy Football Starts

  • 🚀 Leonard Fournette is highlighted as the "Start of the Week" due to his strong performance and favorable matchup against Miami, who has struggled against running backs.
  • 🎯 Daniel Jones is recommended as a strong QB option, with projections placing him as a top-six quarterback, despite concerns about the Giants' red zone efficiency.
  • 💡 Alex Collins is a viable starting option, especially if Chris Carson is out, with projections suggesting he could handle 15 carries and a couple of targets.

Week 5 Fantasy Football Sits

  • ⚠️ Allen Robinson is a player to avoid due to low volume and target share, with Darnell Mooney and Justin Fields showing better chemistry and production.
  • 📉 Miles Sanders is difficult to trust with limited carries and a tough matchup against the Panthers, making him a player to pivot away from if possible.

Key Player Discussions & Rankings Disputes

  • 🏈 Brandin Cooks is considered a low-end WR2 due to his target volume, despite concerns about quarterback Davis Mills.
  • 📈 Laviska Shenault is a recommended start in three-receiver leagues, offering a good performance against a Titans defense that struggles to pressure the quarterback.
  • 📊 Michael Pittman is a player with consistent targets but no touchdowns, facing a tough Ravens secondary, while Jared Cook is debated as a borderline starter at tight end.

Matchup Breakdowns & News

  • ⚔️ The Bills vs. Chiefs game is analyzed, with Josh Allen as a top QB and questions surrounding Zach Moss and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, as well as Stefon Diggs' teammates Beasley and Sanders as WR3 options.
  • 🏈 In the Bears vs. Raiders game, Damien Williams is a potential start over other waiver wire options, but concerns remain about his role expansion. Raiders' secondary is a concern for Bears receivers.
  • 🎯 The Packers vs. Bengals game features Joe Burrow as a potential top-five QB if the Packers force him to throw, with all three Bengals receivers (Chase, Boyd, Higgins) being viable starts.
  • 🏥 News and Notes include updates on Chris Carson's neck injury, Stefan Gilmore's acquisition by the Panthers, Frank Ragnow's IR placement, and Will Fuller's finger injury.
