Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 5

The wide receiver matchup article from last week was decent with Deebo Samuel (WR-3), Terry McLaurin (WR-5), D.K. Metcalf (WR-22) and Stefon Diggs (WR-20) leading the way with decent performances. On the negative side Jalen Reagor was targeted just once, Odell Beckham Jr. was only able to haul in two of his seven targets for 27 yards, Brandon Aiyuk was only […]

Booms and Busts for Week 5 Lineups

The world of fantasy football can be a vicious cycle throughout the long season with mind-numbing performances from players that can leave managers second-guessing roster decisions. That was yet again the case in Week 4 as the trend of under-the-radar players outperforming their rankings continued. Players like Taylor Heinicke, Kenneth Gainwell, and Van Jefferson took […]

As the games concluded on Sunday, I was sure I had a terrible week.

Yet, when I checked the Fantasypros DST rankings on Monday […]

Hunter Henry - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has picked it up over the last few weeks. He caught his first touchdown of the season in Week 4. Henry and Jonnu Smith have been disappointing, but have a chance to rebound in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. A defense that normally struggles containing the pass. […]

Jonnu Smith - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith has been disappointing through the first four games of the season. He was expected to be a impactful red zone option for this offense. However, he has 88 yards and one touchdown through the first month. Things are unlikely going to change against the Houston Texans in Week […]

Kendrick Bourne - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has come alive over the last two games. He has 11 catches on 13 targets over his last two outings and is showing no signs of slowing down. Bourne should continue having success against the shaky Houston Texans defense in Week 5. Jakobi Meyers is the favorite option, […]

Nelson Agholor - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor was expected to be a big-play deep threat for this offense. However, Agholor has only one touchdown for 165 yards through four games this season. It seems that Jakobi Meyers is the favorite option in the passing game right now. That means, both Agholor and Kendrick Bourne aren't […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen double digit targets during each of his last two games. Meyers appears to be the centerpiece of this offense and that's unlikely to change. He'll get a Houston Texans defense in Week 5 that has struggled to contain the passing game. The Patriots have aired it […]

Brandon Bolden - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden made a significant impact during the Week 4 loss. Bolden was basically unseen until last week, but finally broke through against Tampa Bay. He hauled in six receptions for 51 yards, but it's uncertain if he'll continue this success. The loss of James White (hip) should mean that […]

Damien Harris - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has 10 total rushing yards over the last two games. The absence of James White (hip) should mean that Harris gets more involved in the offense. Last week, Harris saw only four carries in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although, that should change in Week 5 […]

Mac Jones A Low-End Streaming Option

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has thrown for 270 yards or more in three of his first four games. He's in line for another positive game against the Houston Texans in Week 5. A defense that has struggled to contain the passing game this season. The Patriots have aired it out over the last […]

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 […]

Nick Folk Questionable For Week 5

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The veteran kicker has played through a knee issue in recent weeks and is expected to suit up on Sunday. He's converted 10-of-11 field goals while drilling 5-of-5 extra-point tries over four games this season. Folk can be […]
