Hey all, can you believe it’s already week 5? Time flies! It’s pretty exciting to see teams starting to find their groove and establish some consistency. There are definitely a few matchups with high implied totals that we’ll want to keep an eye on, but if we want to take home the Milly, we should target some lesser-owned players who can really deliver. Best of luck to everyone this week!

These teams have consistently scored over 50 points in their last four matchups. Expect a lot of ground game action, with Lamar playing a big role in the rushing attack, as always. They’ll also mix in some aerial plays, giving you plenty of options to consider. Personally, I’m a fan of stacking Lamar with Henry, but I also think a Flowers stack could work well too.

Daniels has been on fire lately, so let’s keep that momentum going. The recent matchups have been against some weaker defenses, so this next game will really challenge the young quarterback. I’m a big fan of Dan Quinn and believe he’s got what it takes to lead this team to success, plus he knows how to strategize against tougher defenses. My top pick to pair with Daniels is McLaurin, but I’m also keen on Austin Ekeler.

The Rams’ secondary is struggling, and Love, along with his team, are definitely going to take advantage of that. There were doubts about whether Love should have returned last week, but he proved everyone wrong by throwing for 389 yards and 4 touchdowns against a solid Minnesota defense. This week should be a walk in the park for him. I really like pairing Love with Reed, but Bo Melton is also a solid option when he gets some playing time.

Purdy and his crew are set to take on the Cardinals this week, and they should have a solid shot at this game. The Commanders really tore apart the Cardinals’ defense last week, and the 49ers are a more seasoned squad that knows how to handle tough defenses. With the Cardinals sitting at 29th in defensive DVOA and 30th in QB pressure, Purdy will have plenty of time to make his throws. It can be tricky to stack this team, especially when everyone’s healthy, but I’m leaning toward Aiyuk and Jennings for this matchup.

Baltimore is set to run the ball hard against the Bengals before taking to the skies. Alongside Lamar, Henry is the key player who made that happen. Over the past two weeks, Henry has racked up more than 33 DK fantasy points in each game.

Kyren is stepping up as the main offensive player for the Rams with Kupp and Nacua out. He’s found the end zone in every game so far this season, and there’s no reason to think that’ll change against the Packers this week. Look for him to play a big role in the game.

Brian Robinson Jr. is still questionable, but Ekeler has been cleared from the concussion protocol and is set to play. Ekeler isn’t just a solid runner; he’s also fantastic at catching passes, which should work in Daniels’ favor since he’ll need to release the ball quickly. If Robinson can’t play, McNichols will step in as the primary rusher, but that won’t diminish Ekeler’s impact on the game.

Looks like Stephenson is struggling to keep hold of the ball, which gives Gibson a chance to step up. I’ve always been a fan of Gibson and have picked him a lot in my best-ball drafts this season. Honestly, this game isn’t very exciting, except for Gibson. Miami’s run defense is pretty solid, giving up under 5 yards per carry, but I think short passes to Gibson could be the way to go. The big question is whether they’ll utilize him and to what extent.

Nico is definitely one of the top receivers in the league, but I’m leaning toward Diggs this week. He’s facing the team that let him go, so I’m anticipating more targets and at least one touchdown from him. Plus, he’s found the end zone three times in the last four games.

Reed is one of those players you want on your team if you aim for a win this week. He’s already scored two touchdowns this season and has had two games where he racked up over 138 receiving yards. You can count on him this week.

The Jags haven’t been impressive and are still searching for their first win this season. That said, I did notice some solid progress last week, and they might be turning things around. They’ve got an easier game against the Colts, which should work in Thomas’s favor. He’s had 9 targets in the last two games and has scored two touchdowns this season. This kid will be number one soon.

The 49ers can be tricky to stack since they have many offensive options, but I’m all in on Jennings. The Cardinals’ defense has been pretty terrible this season, making them an easy target. Most expect a big game from Mason, but with Jennings being under 4% owned, he’s definitely someone I’m looking to grab.

Kittle stands out as one of the top pass catchers on the team. Many consider him the best tight end in the league, and he’s likely to have a big game against the struggling Cardinals defense. While I typically avoid investing heavily in tight ends, Kittle is an exception to that rule.

Houston’s pass defense is fairly solid, but they struggle in the splash zone, sitting at 28th in the rankings. With Shakir unavailable, Kincaid will likely become the primary target in that area, making him a great option to stack with Allen.

Kraft just played a game against the Vikings, where he had an impressive 86% route participation. He stands out as the top tight end and excels at running routes. This week, he appears to be a bargain for his position.

I’m heading straight back to Erik this week. As I mentioned last week, I believe he’s on the verge of a breakout game, and I have a good feeling about it. He’s been getting a more reliable target share than Gesicki, and he’s still an affordable option.

The Seahawks have a solid defense, but the splash zone is a weak spot, and that’s not where Jones prefers to pass. With Nabers sidelined, I don’t anticipate this being a favorable game for the Giants, as Nabers is essentially their offensive powerhouse.

The Broncos have a strong defense, and the Raiders are missing their top receiver. It feels pretty straightforward, so go ahead and choose the Broncos without overthinking it.

If Richardson takes the field, he will struggle the most when facing man coverage, and the Jaguars will be at the top of the league in that category. However, if Flacco steps in, the situation could change, but the Jaguars still present a solid opportunity for leverage.

It’s tough for me to pick the Panthers as my defensive team, but they’re budget-friendly, and the potential payoff makes it a worthwhile gamble. Caleb Williams is getting better each week, although he has thrown four interceptions over the last four games.
