First of all, let me say, “A plume!” To those of you who had surpassed Zavier Scott and Emari Demercado in week 4. Your clairvoyance is unparalleled! The regular NFL season is always full of surprises for US week in and week out. Let’s see how I did last week.
Put a bow on week 4
What went wrong?!
My most striking mistake (admitted, not my only one) last week was certainly my tight end “start” and “sitting” complete Return. The tight end of Eagles Dallas Gootert saw, as I suspected, spotty use, because he was only four times the target. But he had those among us who banes him in the bank, pay a lot, because he caught them all four, ended up in the end zone twice. Both his touchdowns were specific to him on designed plays, which really indicates that he might be a greater threat with a red zone than I suspected before. Although with the amount of game makers in the Philly attack, games like this for deduction will be scarce.
Juwan Johnson, on the other hand, seemed to return to a pumpkin, even if it was only for one game. He caught his three total goals for 28 meters. Most of which success the saints had in week 4 came to the ground because they collected 189 hurrying compared to only 109 passing yards. Johnson also missed a few snaps after he had gone awkward at his first reception. However, he returned shortly thereafter and ended the game without any proof of injury.
Kyler Murray made me feel pretty smart for a large part of the Thursday evening match last week. When, as he has done many times before, he started giving up points in bunches. While he finished outside the top 12 in the week, he probably did enough not to cost you your matchup if you started it.
In the “Plus” column …
D’Andre Swift ended last week like a MID RB2 and arrived at RB18 in Half-PPR scoring. As suspected, his enormous volume in a violation that improves will probably bear fruit in “plus” matchups, even if it is not the most aesthetically pleasant running.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt Left managers who want more last week, despite the average of 6.7 yards per Carry. He and Chris Rodriguez Jr. Each had seven carryas. The rest of the 22 -Carry’s of the teams were split under Deebo Samuel Sr., Jeremy McNichols, Chris Moore and Back -Up Quarterback Marcus Mariota. Washington’s backfield will be a difficult one in the coming weeks.
Finally, you did a pleasure yourself if you could keep T -Shiggins on the couch in week 4. Higgins led The Bengal in receiving yards and still delivered only 32 yards on three catches. Hopefully the unfortunate Bengal here can find some appearance of a violation in the coming weeks.
That is enough to live in the past. Bye weeks are now coming, and there are many injuries to navigate this week and in the coming weeks, so let’s dive in week 5!

Week 5 Fantasy Football Start/Sit
Quarterback
Start: Justin Fields
It may seem like I’m grabbing the low -hanging fruit here, and maybe I am. Don’t worry, I mentioned two ‘spicier’ starts in the ‘honorable mentions’. But there is a point on this. If you have prepared fields this year, you probably won’t have done that only Design fields. I am here to tell you that unless the other Quarterback Josh is all, Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, or maybe Drake Maye, Justin Fields is your husband for week 5. I have him and Maye in one competition, and from now on I start fields. With Lamar Jackson we expect to miss week 5, this week we have the former Buckeye at number 5 in our Fantasy rankings. However, the conversation for fields starts at QB3. Jayden Daniels, who comes from an injury, and our number 4 Quarterback, Drake Maye, has difficult matchups this week.
Fields, on the other hand, have given up the Dallas Cowboys, who have just given up more than 26 fantasy points to Jordan Love. The cowboys were allowed the first in points to go opposite Quarterbacks to week 4, a ranking that they hold a week later.
Justin Fields’ advanced hasty statistics
We know that the former pick in the first round is a serious hasty threat. When we remove the week 2 Dud versus Buffalo, Fields has shown more of the arm talent that this season he flashed in Chicago and Pittsburgh occasionally. He has also been quite accurate and completed 72.7% of his passes in week 1 against his most recent former team and 74.1% against Miami last week. He is practically a starter of every week healthy, but in plus matchups like this, he is a must-start.
Honorous mentions: Bryce Young, Jaxson Dart
SIT: Matthew Stafford
The Quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams comes from a great match in week 4 against a defense of Indianapolis that is just south of average (20th) in fantasy points that are allowed on opposite Quarterbacks. However, Stafford has struggled a bit in harder matchups. In weeks 1 and 3 he scored 13.6 and 14.8 against the Houston Texans (the Second-Toughest Matchup for QBS) and the Philadelphia Eagles (14th) respectively. The opponent of the Rams’ Week 5, the San Francisco 49ers, are currently fifth in those ranks.
Look for a total effort of the defense of San Fran, while they try to pick up the play for their injuries. Matthew Stafford returns to Earth, if only for a week.
Honorous mention: Bo Nix
Walk back
Start: JK Dobbins
Dobbins has a good start to the 2025 season and is very clearly the best back in Denver. Although Rookie RJ Harvey is the gap in the target considerably limited of what was present in previous weeks in week 4, Dobbins was still much more efficient and won two meters more per carry base than Harvey.
JK Dobbins’ Explosive Assessment
The Broncos is flying to the east to compete against the Philadelphia Eagles in week 5. And although the Eagles allowed the least fantasy points to encounter last year in the competition in the competition, it was a different story for four weeks of the 2025 season. In fact, Philly can be found on the 23rd In those rankings this year, who died 24.1 fantasy points per game in the position. Denver head coach Sean Payton knows what he is against the planning of the defensive coordinator Vic Fangio of Eagles, and he will lean on his veteran who walks back in this. Harvey will probably still be a factor in the passing game and will receive some carrys, but Dobbins will be a good game this week in your RB2 slots, which is the more efficient and more explosive back.
Honorable mentions: Woody Marks, David Montgomery
SIT: Isiah Pacheco
Don’t be fooled by his receiving touchdown last week; Pacheco still sees nothing close to viable volume.
Isiah Pacheco’s Opportunity Metrics
It’s all bad, and even worse, Brashard Smith looked good against the ravens and will increase his workload when passing downs. If you need A flex game in a deep competition, Pacheco’s only saving grace at the moment is that he is attached to a good team.
Honorable mentions: Bhaysshul Tuten, Justice Hill
Width
Start: Michael Pittman
Pittman has quietly had a great four games to open the 2025 season and is currently on top of the WR2 ranks on WR13 in PPR scoring. His Dominator rating of 48.4% is number 4 in the competition, which shows that he is a sample part of this passing attack. Pittman is a real Alpha X receiver and the clear top goal for new Colts Quarterback Daniel Jones. His goal premium of +18.9% illustrates the upgrade at Quarterback and the impact he has on the game versus the other Passcatchers in the team.
Week 5 brings the Las Vegas Raiders and their porous fitting defense to Indianapolis. They are for four weeks 30th In points permitted to opposite broad recipients. Let’s get Pittman in our line -ups wherever we can.
Honorous mentions: Chris Olave, Wan’dale Robinson
SIT: Chris Godwin
I know, he had ten goals last week, and that is absolutely encouraging to see for a player in his first game back from injury. He was also on the field for more than 80% of the attacking snaps of the BUCs. It would not surprise me if he had been in the ‘Start’ section of this article for too long.
But not in week 5. The Buccaneers will travel to the opposite corner of the country to fight with the Seattle Seahawks. The Hawks are currently second in the competition against Wideouts. Cornerbacks Devon Witherspoon and Tariq Woolen are talented players who have made life difficult for people like Chris Olave, Marvin Harrison Jr. and DK Metcalf in recent weeks. Although he may still see a decent target with Mike Evans from the line -up, let’s keep Godwin on the couch for another game as we can.
Honorable mentions: Devonta Smith, Jerry Jeudy
Tight end
Start: Hunter Henry
Don’t look now, but Hunter Henry is you 3 in the year in PPR scoring; He is number 1 in standard score, which nobody uses anymore, right? He is also our fifth arranged tight end this week.
Hunter Henry’s Opportunity Metrics
Even in a heavy matchup in Buffalo, Henry is a solid start. The second-year Quarterback of the Patriots, Drake Maye, has focused on his tight end, which is now as a professional in his ninth year, more than all his other pass-catchers. That will not change this week. Start Hunter Henry in all formats.
Honorous mention: Dalton Schultz
SIT: TJ Hockenson
The Back -Up Quarterback from the Vikingen, Carson Wentz, threw the ball 46 times against Pittsburgh last week. TJ Hockenson ran 44 routes during those 46 fitting attempts. On those routes he collected five goals, which he was able to turn 39 yards into four receptions.
It is generally known that it is in the attack of Minnesota Justin Jefferson than everyone else. Many believed (including myself) that Hockenson would be at the top of the ‘Everybody Others’ category, especially while the team was waiting for the return of Jordan Addison. However, that was not the case, because in that period he could only earn one target than broad recipient Jalen nailor. Last week the former Hawkeye was surpassed by Jefferson, Nailor and Pass-Catching Back Zavier Scott.
In another game in the Atlantic Ocean, this time in London, the Vikings will compete against the Cleveland Browns. The browns have generally been a heavy defensive matchup and have been above average when defending the tight final position, ninth in PPR points allowed per match.
Given the matchup, the strong return of Jordan Addison and the tendency of Carson Wentz to push the ball down (340 air yards last week), I am looking elsewhere in search of the tight end position on the way to week 5.
