Week 5 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 4 was rough for us, landing on just four of the top 10 defenses. It's only one week, so we don't want to overreact, but we do want to examine the process a bit. I've always been a proponent of not elevating a bad defense too high just because of a good matchup. A […]

Should I Start Kenny Pickett In Week 5? Fantasy Football Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett will make his first career start on Sunday on the road against the Buffalo Bills. The first-round rookie didn’t play in the first three games after the Steelers named Mitchell Trubisky the starting quarterback. However, head coach Mike Tomlin made a change last week against the New York Jets. After […]

NFL Rookies to Watch for Fantasy Football Week 5 Including Kenny Pickett, Brian Robinson, Isiah Pacheco, Christian Watson

Quite a few first-year players have already made strong impacts as professionals. The wide receivers in particular have been impressive. New Orleans Saints wideout Chris Olave is ninth at his position in receiving yards through four weeks. Atlanta's Drake London has also produced at a high level, accumulating 18 catches for 231 yards and two […]

Dolphins Defense Worth Starting In Week 5

The Miami Dolphins defense is worth starting in fantasy football as they take on the New York Jets in Week 5. While the unit underwhelmed in Week 4 against the Bengals, they should bounce back coming off a long week. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, the Jets are rolling out Zach Wilson, who was picked […]

Jason Sanders Lacks Fantasy Appeal In Week 5

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders falls outside of the top-12 range heading into his Week 5 clash against the New York Jets. Although this matchup is certainly favorable, the Miami offense could struggle without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) at quarterback. Additionally, if either Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) or Jaylen Waddle (groin) is inactive, the Dolphins' productivity would […]

Raheem Mostert A Solid Option In Deeper Leagues

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is a fringe top-36 running back in fantasy football this week. With a favorable matchup against the New York Jets on tap, Mostert could be primed to have his biggest game yet with Miami. Not only did Mostert see a season-high 72 percent snap share last week, but he […]

Chase Edmonds Worth Benching In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds should be benched in most fantasy leagues this week. Although the 26-year-old has three touchdowns this season, he has totaled a measly 85 rushing yards and 68 receiving yards. He continues to see his volume decline while Raheem Mostert earns a larger snap share. Edmonds could certainly salvage his […]

Mike Gesicki Not A Stable Option In Week 5

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki should be avoided in most fantasy leagues this week. The 27-year-old has amassed just eight catches for 71 yards and a touchdown, and he's at least third in the pecking order behind receivers Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) and Jaylen Waddle (groin). Additionally, Teddy Bridgewater is in line to start for […]

Teddy Bridgewater A Solid Streamer In Week 5

Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is a solid streaming option against the New York Jets in Week 5. Bridgewater is on track to make his first start of the season with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) sidelined. The veteran quarterback looked fine during his emergency appearance last week, completing 14 passes for 193 yards, one touchdown, and […]

Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle Questionable For Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) and Jaylen Waddle (groin) are both listed as questionable to play in Week 5 against the New York Jets. NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that head coach Mike McDaniel is very hopeful that Hill will play on Sunday. The Dolphins will manage Hill's quad injury after he popped […]

Timeshare or Position Battle? Breaking Down Running Back Committees for Fantasy Football

As the season rolls along, we're starting to get a better idea of how some running back committees have gone. Some of those committees have turned out to not be committees.

Week 5 NFL Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel

Week 4 was fairly strange, as one single game (SEA-DET) produced outsized play volume and points, leading to many players from that game being optimal for DFS lineups. Unfortunately, I faded much of the chalk, so you can guess how my week went in tournaments. Week 5 is shaping up to be an ugly slate, […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 5 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Another week with odd conditions that affect us posting a sweep. Some crappy weather in Baltimore affected the gameplay, to the tune of four turnovers combined and the total fell under by eight points. The Dallas covering -3 was probably the easiest bet we'll place and hit all year, while the under with Cleveland and […]

Tyreek Hill Lands On Injury Report

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quad) was limited during Thursday's practice. This appears to be a new injury because he was able to fully practice on Wednesday. It sounds like Hill was fine after Thursday's limited session, but fantasy managers should still be aware of this. Possibly, the Dolphins were just being cautious and […]

Jaylen Waddle Practices Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) was back at practice on Thursday after being held out of the team's Wednesday session. This bodes well for his availability in Week 5 against the Jets, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status at Friday's practice. With Tua Tagovailoa (head, neck) ruled out, Waddle's outlook […]
