BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2
ANALYSIS: New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been a solid QB2 in Superflex formats through the first four weeks. He has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in two of four games this season and scored above 18 fantasy points in both of those contests. However, he might be hard to trust in Week 5 against the Seahawks.
For starters, Jones will not have his top wideout (Malik Nabers) in this game. Nabers has been ruled out for Sunday's game due to a concussion, making the Giants quarterback a riskier option this week. On top of that, Seattle has only given up 765 pass yards and three pass touchdowns to start the season.
WR Malik Nabers (concussion) is OUT for Sunday vs. the Seahawks, per coach Brian Daboll.

As a result, Jones should only be started in Superflex formats in Week 5. He struggled last week against a poor Cowboys' defense, and Seattle has one of the better secondaries in the league -- led by Riq Woolen, Devon Witherspoon, and Julian Love.
