Fantasy Football Week 5 Rankings & Start/Sit Advice
Week 5 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice
Tom Brady (TB) vs. ATL: Buccaneers -8.5 | 48.5 O/U
- With the return of WRs Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones and LT Donovan Smith, Brady had the best performance of his season last week with 385 yards and three touchdowns passing.
- The Falcons defense is No. 29 in dropback SR (51.5%).
Andy Dalton (NO) vs. SEA: Saints -5.5 | O/U 45.5
- Dalton looked good in London last week with a 71.4% completion rate and 9.1 AY/A.
- The Seahawks defense is dead last in dropback EPA per play (0.366) and pass DVOA (38.6%).
- If starter Jameis Winston returns to the lineup, I’ll probably be high on him.
Teddy Bridgewater (MIA) at NYJ: Dolphins -3 | O/U 44.5
- Last year, Bridgewater was No. 7 in composite EPA + CPOE (0.128), and last week he was serviceable with 191 yards and one touchdown passing as the in-game fill-in for injured starter Tua Tagovailoa (concussion, out).
- The Jets defense is No. 29 in dropback EPA per play (0.215): Bridgewater has literally a five-star matchup.
