After Week 4 of the NFL Season it’s time to look towards next and get you ready for your Week 5 matchup.

The Studs

Daniel Jones-26.7

While the Giants have not been playing well this season, Daniel Jones somehow has. Currently sitting at QB6 on the year, Jones has used his legs and his turnover reduction to put up numbers that no one expected him to put up. I would still be cautious knowing his track record of being turnover prone, and because of the fact that the Giants themselves are not the best football team.

Cordarelle Patterson-34.6

One of the most interesting fantasy players this year, Patterson is usually a utility man who is known for his speed and kickoff return ability. The Falcons, however, have made him a focal point of their offense. Scoring three touchdowns last week and getting plenty of work in the passing game as a running back, Patterson is sitting at RB3 on the season. It will be interesting to see if Atlanta keeps giving him touches or if he fades back to his days of simply being used for his speed.

DJ Moore-31.9

Sam Darnold has found his new favorite target in Carolina. While many thought that Darnold would favor throwing to Robby Anderson because of their previous chemistry in New York, DJ Moore has quickly taken over his spot. With plenty of volume in a pass heavy offense, DJ Moore is poised to continue his production so far and be a WR1 the rest of the season.

 

The Busts

Travis Kelce-6.3

Don’t overreact. Kelce is still the best tight end in all of fantasy football by a fair margin. Defenses have to pick and choose who they want to eliminate from the Chiefs offensive attack and the Eagles chose to eliminate Kelce. Hence, Tyreek Hill erupted for 47 fantasy points. Kelce should undoubtedly be started in every league no matter what. 

Dalvin Cook-6.4

While Dalvin Cook was back on the field and active for Week 4, fantasy managers were disappointed to see him rack up just six points. The Vikings limited his usage due to the injury he suffered two weeks ago. Be cautious of his volume until he is fully healed. The Vikings do not want their star running back to be injured long term and will resort to utilizing Mattison for the time being. 

 

Injuries

Joe Mixon 

Mixon is listed as questionable and is looking very doubtful to play Week 5. If you own Mixon, it might be wise to pick up his backup in Samaje Perine as the Bengals run a slower, run heavy offense. Also, a matchup against the average Packers defense will be helpful in giving Perine lots of looks.
