Last Sunday, New York Jets rookie QB Zach Wilson turned in the best performance of his career so far. His 297 yards, 61.8 completion percentage, and 8.7 […]
Week 5 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Fantasy managers saw seven kickers who failed to even score five points and another seven kickers who managed to score in the double-digits. Unfortunately for myself, two of those sub-five kickers were on my streamers to target list. A bad week for the streamer picks, but slightly better on the busts. I did, however, stay […]

Zane Gonzalez Doesn't Have Much Upside
Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez will take on the Eagles in Week 5. Gonzalez has made 3 of 5 field goals and 9 of 10 extra points through four weeks of play. The 26-year-old has a decent floor but doesn't possess the upside of other kickers in better matchups. The Eagles have allowed the seventh-fewest […]
Ian Thomas Remains A Risky Streamer
Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas gets a favorable matchup in Week 5 against the Eagles. Philadelphia's defense has surrendered the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends so far, and Thomas appears to be the early beneficiary of Dan Arnold's playing time. Still, the 25-year-old has yet to exceed 17 yards in […]
Chuba Hubbard Likely To Start For Second Straight Game
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard could have a rebound game in Week 5 against the Eagles. With Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) listed as doubtful, Hubbard could have the keys to the backfield once again in a matchup against the league's 31st-ranked run defense. The rookie played 47 percent of the snaps and handled 15 touches, […]
Terrace Marshall Jr. Tough To Trust In Week 5
Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. could have a tough path to fantasy relevance against the Eagles in Week 5. Marshall has yet to eclipse 50 receiving yards in a game and is coming off of a two-yard effort in a Week 4 loss to Dallas. The rookie has the skills to succeed […]
Christian McCaffrey Listed As Doubtful
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for the Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a bummer for fantasy managers after McCaffrey was trending toward a possible return after feeling good in practice all week. CMS is now on track to miss his second straight game with the Panthers […]
Robby Anderson Tough To Fully Trust In Week 5
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson gets a matchup against a middle-of-the-road Eagles secondary in Week 5. Anderson has been a fantasy disappointment this year, as he has failed to exceed 50 yards in all but one game, a contest where he caught one pass for 57 yards. Fortunately, the 28-year-old did see 11 targets […]
D.J. Moore A Trustworthy WR1 Against Eagles
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore will get a beatable Eagles secondary in Week 5. Moore has been the alpha wideout fantasy managers envisioned when they drafted him, as the 24-year-old has seen double-digit targets in three straight games while rattling off receiving yardage totals of 79, 126, and 113. Maryland product will face off […]
Sam Darnold Should Keep Rolling Against Eagles
Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has a good chance to keep rolling against the Eagles in Week 5. Darnold has been excellent through four weeks, as he has thrown for 1,189 yards with five passing touchdowns and five rushing scores while leading the Panthers to a 3-1 record. The former Jet will face an Eagles […]
