Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 5

Nearly every fantasy football roster has been hit by the injury bug. Others have been plagued by underperformance or, perhaps targeted starters in last night’s Thursday Night Football disaster. Our Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 5 will help turn your lineup around. Here are some of those unheralded players to consider starting in Week 5. Quarterbacks Carson Wentz (QB) Washington Commanders – Wentz currently sits as the QB9 on the season and draws a matchup with the Tennessee Titans this week. The Titans are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. While he may be mistake-prone and a subpar real-life quarterback, Wentz should have the volume and production this week to make him a viable option. It’s a great spot for him to get back on track. Teddy Bridgewater (QB) Miami Dolphins – The Jets’ defense stinks. They allowed a Jacoby Brissett-run offense to drop 30 points on them. Bridgewater may not be great, but he’s a capable option. With weapons like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, he should be able to have his way with their porous defense which is allowing the 10t -most fantasy points to signal-callers. Running Backs Brian Robinson (RB) Washington Commanders – Robinson is expected to return from his gunshot wounds this week.. That sounds completely ridiculous after missing just four weeks. He is fully expected to take over the starting job in Washington. It is a matter of when not if. What this comes down to is, are you willing to roll the dice that it will be this week? He is a risky play with a high ceiling and low floor. Raheem Mostert (RB) Miami Dolphins – Mostert has quietly established himself as the RB1 in Miami. He out-carried Chase Edmonds 15-5 last week and both had two receptions. Edmonds has been getting the red-zone work, but Mostert is getting the volume. He could have a big day in a game the Dolphins should be winning against the lowly Jets. Caleb Huntley (RB) Atlanta Falcons – This is another situation similar to the Broncos’split backfield. The presumed RB1 is Tyler Allgeier with Cordarrelle Patterson landing on IR. However, both Allgeier and Huntley saw 10 carries last week. This could be a true split-back system or even a hot-hand approach. At the very least Huntley is most likely to be used in short-yardage situations. Isiah Pacheco (RB) Kansas City Chiefs – It looks like Pacheco may be overtaking Jerick McKinnon for the RB2 role in Kansas City. This is a system that utilizes more than one back often. We saw Pacheco get 12 carries last week. Granted it was a blowout so that number will likely drop, but McKinnon saw just two carries and one reception for zero total yards. Pacheco should continue to emerge in this backfield. Wide Receivers Tyler Boyd (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Boyd is currently the WR26 despite being the WR3 on his own team. This week he takes on the Ravens who are allowing the most fantasy points to wide receivers. With Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters attempting to cover Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Boyd should be able to run free against a bunch of replacement-level corners. He should have both a high ceiling and a high floor this week. George Pickens (WR) Pittsburgh Steelers – We’ve seen rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett get an extended run in one game this season and it was last week. In that game, Pickens became the defacto WR1 out-targeting Diontae Johnson 8-4. However, it is a small sample size which is why Pickens is only a sleeper and not a must-start. Fantasy owners may catch lightning in a bottle with the rookies Pickett and Pickens this season. Nico Collins (WR) Houston Texans – Collins is a guy we have been watching from afar and he looks like he could finally be poised for the breakout. Over the past three weeks, he’s seen 18 targets which he’s turned into nine receptions for 181 yards. During that same span, a struggling Brandin Cooks has managed just 133 yards on 24 targets. Conversely, Collins’s ascending play could see him emerge as the WR1 in Houston. Devin Duvernay (WR) Baltimore Ravens – Rashod Bateman is dealing with an always terrifying mid-foot injury. He is not a lock to play this week and is at high risk of being limited or leaving early. This would leave Duvernay as the top wideout in Baltimore. He has been ridiculously efficient catching 12 of 13 targets for 172 yards and three TDs this season. That said, If Duvernay gets the volume this week he could be in for a monster game. Tight Ends Chigoziem Okonwo (TE) Tennessee Titans – We have been waiting for a tight end to emerge in Tennessee and it’s possible one just did. We saw Okonwo catch three passes this week for 38 yards and a TD. While that doesn’t seem like a ton, consider Austin Hooper and Geoff Swaim combined for one target and of all the wide receivers and tight ends on the team, only Robert Woods had more targets than him with four. Cade Otton (TE) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – It looks like there is a good chance Cameron Brate will not be able to play this week. That should leave all the tight-end duties to the highly touted rookie Otton. Once Brate left with a concussion on Sunday night Otton set career highs in snap share, targets, and receptions. If the opportunity presents itself, Otton could not only have a big day but establish himself as the better tight end in Tampa. ENTER OUR WEEK 5 DRAFT CONTEST!

Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 4

It’s hard to believe we are already up to Week 4. With all the injuries and wild performances, most fantasy managers have already faced some roster adversity. Our Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 4 can help overcome some of that madness by digging deep to identify values. Here are some of those unheralded players to consider starting in Week 4. Quarterbacks Cooper Rush (Dallas Cowboys) – It’s always going to be scary starting Cooper Rush, however, the matchup this week against the Commanders is tremendous. At the very least it should earn him consideration in SuperFlex leagues. They haven’t been able to stop anyone through the air as they have the 27th-ranked pass defense and are allowing the fifth-most points to fantasy QBs. Dak Prescott will definitely be sidelined this week so Rush is worth a look on your waiver wire. Geno Smith (Seattle Seahawks) – Surprisingly, Smith hasn’t been terrible this year and currently sits as the QB19 in fantasy. He’s scored more fantasy points than Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, and of course Russell Wilson through three weeks. This week he takes on the Lions who are allowing the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks and just lost their best safety Tracy Walker for the year. Smith should ride D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett to a big day in Detroit. Running Backs Craig Reynolds (Detroit Lions) – With D’Andre Swift sidelined, Jamaal Williams is the obvious replacement, and rightfully so. Nonetheless, Reynolds could see double-digit opportunities this week as well. This is a two-back system and we saw him get an increased workload in the second half last week once Swift went down. The matchup this week is nice too as the Seahawks are allowing the sixth-most yards to fantasy running backs. Ken Walker III (Seattle Seahawks) – Yes, the matchup is outstanding for Walker this week. The Lions and their incompetent defense are allowing the most fantasy points to running backs. However, that’s not the only reason Walker appears on this list. Seattle lost their pass-catching back Travis Homer last week and this could open up a major opportunity for Walker to get more touches. He saw three carries and three targets this week. He has slowly been worked into the rushing attack coming off groin surgery. If he can also start getting upwards of five targets a week, he could see double-digit opportunities and hold value in a great matchup. J.D. McKissic (Washington Commanders) – After Week 1 it looked like McKissic may be an afterthought in this offense, but that’s clearly not the case. He is the undisputed pass-catching back seeing 16 targets over the past two weeks including nine last week. The team loves to use him, especially when losing and there is a good chance they’re down this week against the Cowboys. Not only does McKissic have some upside, but he has a very safe floor in PPR leagues if you’re looking for a flex option. Alexander Mattison (Minnesota Vikings) – If Dalvin Cook is forced to sit out this week then this is a no-brainer. However, Mattison could be a sneaky good play even if Cook is active. In a shocking turn of events, Cook injured the shoulder he injures every year and could be out or limited this week. Even if Cook plays Mattison should see an increased workload. There is also a possible scenario of Cook taking a hit and being knocked out of the game. We’ve seen Mattison thrive in this situation before and he’s a sneaky good flex option in Week 4. Wide Receivers Zay Jones (Jacksonville Jaguars) – Jones has had a major role in a Jags offense that has far exceeded expectations this season. He currently sits as the fantasy WR35 this season with 19 receptions of 24 targets for 173 yards and a TD. This week the Jags take on the Eagles. While the matchup isn’t good, it’s much worse for the team’s WR1 Christian Kirk as Darius Slay has been locking up the top guy. This could open up an opportunity for Jones to have another nice game. Noah Brown (Dallas Cowboys) – Brown is a favorite target of Cooper Rush and you need to ride this duo out before it’s over. Michael Gallup and Dalton Schultz also look like they may both be sidelined or limited once again. The Commanders are allowing the second-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts and should get lit up in this one. This could be the last hoorah of Noah Brown so if you picked him up off waivers this is the week to play him. Richie James Jr. (New York Giants) – The stars have aligned in this one for James to have a big day against the Bears. He is yet to see less than five targets in a game this season and this week it looks like the Giants may be without their top three wideouts in Wan’Dale Robinson, Kadarius Toney, and Sterling Shepard. Unless Kenny Golladay is resurrected from the fantasy graveyard, James should be the WR1 for the Giants. He could push double-digit targets in this one. Devin Duvernay (Baltimore Ravens) – Even with injuries last week we saw the Bills scheme up a defense to slow down the Dolphins WR1 Tyreek Hill. Expect them to do the same thing this week with Rashod Bateman. However, Lamar Jackson is going to get the ball to someone and Duvernay has been extremely impressive this season. He has caught every pass thrown his way this season and despite missing about three-quarters of Week 2 has already found the end zone four times this year. The volume may not be there, but the efficiency has been and he’s a solid sleeper flex option this week. Tight Ends Robert Tonyan (Green Bay Packers) – Tonyan saw a season-high seven targets last week and has as favorable a matchup as possible this week. Not only are the Patriots allowing the third-most fantasy

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 3

Week 2 had some huge performances, wild comebacks, and disappointing players. Our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 3 will help you figure out who to consider starting in this slate, and what players to avoid. Injuries also had a big impact, which makes the waiver wire doubly important. Here are our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 3 picks. QUARTERBACKS Start ‘Em Jameis Winston (New Orleans Saints) – On the surface, the Panthers’ pass defense looks like one to avoid as they have been the third stingiest in the league allowing just 150 yards per game. However, if you are afraid to start Winston because of this, don’t be. Carolina has faced off with Jacoby Brissett and Daniel Jones, both of whom are terrible and their weapons aren’t much better. Look for Jameis and company to beat up on a bad Panthers team this week. Jared Goff (Detroit Lions) – Goff currently sits sixth in the league with six TDs, just one behind a small group who have seven. This week he takes on the Vikings who put up no resistance against the Eagles on Monday night. Coming off a short week, and having to contend with Amon Ra St. Brown and D’Andre Swift won’t bode well for their porous defense. Goff should capitalize and put up a nice stat line against the league’s 29th-ranked pass defense. Sit ‘Em Tom Brady (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) – Brady just missed the cut for this article last week and he should have been in it. He just doesn’t have any of his weapons. Mike Evans is suspended and both Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are limited at best. Combine that with the fact that the Packers put up little resistance against the run and Leonard Fournette will likely just pound them into submission while Brady manages the game. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) – Rodgers is going to struggle to move the ball against a tough Bucs defense with what he currently has to work with. This is going to be a low-scoring game with a lot of short drives for the Packers and clock-running drives from the Bucs. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Green Bay doesn’t manage to score 20 points in this game. After two games Rodgers is tied for 23rd in pass attempts with Marcus Mariota and Lamar Jackson, 20th in yards, and has a TD-INT ratio of 2-1. RUNNING BACKS Start ‘Em Darrell Henderson (Las Angeles Rams) – Henderson managers were worried about Cam Akers coming in and stealing touches from Henderson and it happened last week. It may have been a blessing in disguise because Akers looked horrible. Despite out-carrying Henderson 15-10, Akers managed a measly 2.9 yards per carry while Henderson both outgained him and scored the touchdown. It’s hard to imagine a competent coach like Sean McVay watching that film and giving more touches to Akers again. Dameon Pierce (Houston Texans) – After a scary Week 1 when Rex Burkhead dominated the Texans’ backfield, Pierce saw all 15 running back carries and had one target to Burkhead’s three. It appears Pierce should be the clear-cut RB1 moving forward. This week he takes on Chicago whose rush defense has been the worst in the league by 20 yards per game. This should be the breakout game we’ve been waiting for all summer. Sit ‘Em A.J. Dillion (Green Bay Packers) – The Packers also aren’t going to be able to run the ball against the Bucs because no one can. The only player on the team worth starting is Aaron Jones because he should see the majority of the dump-offs. Both backs will see up and down games and this sets up to be a down game for Dillion. Cordarrelle Patterson (Atlanta Falcons) – Week 1 appears to be an aberration for Patterson’s usage thanks to an early injury to Damien Williams. Last week Patterson and rookie Tyler Allgeier both saw 10 carries and Patterson didn’t catch his only target. Without heavy utilization in the passing attack, Patterson is a low-floor start with limited upside. Until something changes with his situation you should leave him on your bench. WIDE RECEIVERS Start ‘Em Jahan Dotson (Washington Commanders) – Through two games Dotson now has 10 targets and three TDs. Carson Wentz is airing it out and while it’s not always pretty for the Commanders it’s great for fantasy. With Darius Slay likely locked on Terry McLaurin, Dotson could see the largest target share of his young career in this game. Garrett Wilson (New York Jets) – Wilson’s 14 targets in Week 2 gave him 22 on the year as he went for over 100 yards and two TDs against the Browns. Joe Flacco now leads the league in pass attempts with 103 and no one else is particularly close. Flacco is hyper-targeting Wilson and as long as he’s under center the volume should be there for the rookie wideout who’s looking like his talent is living up to his draft capital. Jakobi Meyers (New England Patriots) – It’s time to plug Meyers into PPR lineups. He has separated himself as the top target in New England coming off a 13-target outing. This week he gets the Ravens’ defense which was absolutely torched by the Dolphins. Granted, Tua Tagovailoa is much better than Mac Jones and Meyers is neither Tyreek Hill nor Jaylen Waddle. Nonetheless, even if the Pats can muster up half of what Miami did Meyers should be a great start in PPR leagues this week. Sit ‘Em Terry McLaurin (Washington Commanders) – Watching Darius Slay dominate Justin Jefferson on Monday night should be enough to scare you off of Carson Wentz’s top target. With Slay shadowing McLaurin this week it’s hard to have any faith in him. Especially when other viable options have emerged in this offense. If you have another option this week go with it and avoid this matchup. Amari Cooper (Cleveland Browns) – Cooper had a good week but

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 2

The opening slate of NFL games certainly came with some surprises. Whether you navigated troubled waters for a win or started 0-1, our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 2 will help you make the correct lineup decisions to emerge victorious this week. Injuries also had a big impact, which makes the waiver wire doubly important. Here are our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 2 picks. QUARTERBACKS Start ‘Em Derek Carr (Las Vegas Raiders) – The Arizona Cardinals’ pass defense is non-existent this year. They allowed Patrick Mahomes to annihilate them last week on the way to the QB1 finish. Granted, Mahomes is the best quarterback in the league, however, the Cards are also very bad. With the weapons Carr now has to attack with, he should destroy this defense. Matthew Stafford (Los Angeles Rams) – Stafford should bounce back in a big way this week against the Falcons. A.J. Terrell is generally a corner to avoid, but he’ll be on Cooper Kupp and we know he’s going to get his regardless. We could see Allen Robinson bounce back as well as there is a chance Terrell at least slows Kupp down a bit. Stafford’s struggles last week were in major part due to the Bills’ defense, although, the O-line has to be better. Sit ‘Em Trey Lance (San Francisco 49ers) – It’s not time to panic yet with Lance. You can even throw out the numbers from last week because of the weather. However, he looked really bad beyond the numbers. He looked like a lost quarterback with bad mechanics and poor decision-making skills against a bad team. Justin Fields performed infinitely better than him under the same conditions. Again, don’t panic but maybe take a wait-and-see approach if you have another option. Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) – Hear me out! There is a good chance you have to start Lamar, however, you need to temper expectations. The Dolphins have the blueprint and the pieces on defense to terrorize him. Even worse, he doesn’t have the rushing attack to offset the game plan. You are going to see safeties Brandon Jones and Jevon Holland attacking off the edge and forcing Jackson to beat them with his arm and make quick decisions in the pocket. He showed last year he couldn’t do it. Hopefully, for Jackson, this coaching staff has come up with a counterpunch. If you pulled the trigger for an early QB2, especially one of the above from Start’Em, this is the week to use him. RUNNING BACKS Start ‘Em Darrell Henderson (Las Angeles Rams) – Make no mistake Henderson is the RB1 in LA and anyone saying otherwise drafted him and is just putting on a brave face. We warned you all summer about this and told you to avoid Cam Akers and instead snag Henderson late. He out-touched Akers 18-3 last week and Akers used those three yards to put up a grand total of zero yards. Henderson should be utilized as the Rams’ RB1 until further notice. Travis Etienne (Jacksonville Jaguars) – James Robinson came back and looked shockingly good last week. This has Etienne’s owners worried. However, you need to start Etienne this week against Indianapolis. Despite Robinson having more carries, Etienne out-snapped Robinson and doubled his targets. We would be talking about his huge game if not for two disasters on would-be TDs. The Colts held running backs to just 2.8 rushing yards last week but were beat up through the air against backs and tight ends. This is a positive matchup for Etienne in what should be a tight game. Surprisingly, the division rival Colts haven’t pulled out a win in Jacksonville since 2014. Sit ‘Em Ezekiel Elliott (Dallas Cowboys) – We just don’t know how this offense is going to look under Cooper Rush. Zeke could be fine, nevertheless, this could also be a disaster. Either way, the smart move may be to sit him this week and see how things play out if you have another option. He could get more carries and dump-offs because of the quarterback. He also could be game-scripted out of a blowout loss and dealing with stacked boxes. Elliott is a risky start at best. Najee Harris (Pittsburgh Steelers) – Harris was dealing with a Lisfranc injury all summer. He suited up in Week 1 and re-aggravated the injury forcing him out of the game. If he decides to try to give it a go this week it is not only possible, but likely he doesn’t make it through the game healthy. The best-case scenario here is that he is ruled out. Otherwise, there will be a lot of unhappy fantasy owners watching Jaylen Warren carrying the ball on Sunday. WIDE RECEIVERS Start ‘Em Christian Kirk (Jacksonville Jaguars) – Last week, Kirk looked just like he did in the preseason. He caught six of his team-high seven targets for 117 yards. He is the WR1 in a high-volume pass offense on a team who is likely to be trailing or in shootouts most weeks. Kirk is a start this week and should be a safe option moving forward. Julio Jones (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) – We suggested you start Jones last week and he’s an even better start in Week 2. Jones served as the clear second option in the passing game behind Mike Evans, catching three of his five targets for 69 yards and rushing twice for 17 yards. With Chris Godwin sidelined for at least a few weeks, Jones should be considered a viable flex option. Tyler Boyd (Cincinnati Bengals) – Tee Higgins is dealing with a concussion issue and missed the entire second half last week. In that game, Boyd saw seven targets, caught a TD, and played 80% of the snaps. If Higgins is to miss this week’s game I’d expect an even higher snap count this week and more targets and if Higgins doesn’t play I’d still expect him well over 70% snap count. No matter
