Week 5 Review

Isaiah Likely led all tight ends in Week 5 half-PPR scoring, and Garrett Wilson finished ninth among wide receivers. Chase Brown finished 34th among running backs and Michael Wilson 52nd among wide receivers. T.J. Hockenson caught one pass before leaving with a concussion, so the recommendation was void.

Christian Watson led all wide receivers after scoring two touchdowns. Jalen Hurts finished 20th among quarterbacks, Denzel Boston 20th among wide receivers, Dalton Kincaid 34th among tight ends and Brian Robinson Jr. 58th among running backs.

Starts

Javonte WilliamsRB · DALat GB

Williams has played 71 to 85 percent of Dallas's offensive snaps in every game, carrying 12 to 19 times and scoring seven touchdowns through five games. His weekly finishes have ranged from third to 34th among running backs, and he was 19th in Week 5 with 13.2 half-PPR points on 12 carries and two catches.

Parker WashingtonWR · JAXvs. HOU

Washington has played 80 percent or more of Jacksonville's offensive snaps in each of the last four games and has 35 targets through five. Two of his games produced a top-ten finish among wide receivers, including 27.4 half-PPR points on nine targets and two touchdowns in Week 5, and his Week 4 finish was 94th on three targets.

Braelon AllenRB · NYJat NE

Allen played 94 and 86 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps in Weeks 4 and 5 after playing between 31 and 52 percent in the first three games. He carried 24 times for 116 yards in Week 5 and finished sixth among running backs, while Isaiah Davis had two carries.

Cam SkatteboRB · NYGvs. NO

Skattebo has carried 12 to 20 times in every game and played 59 to 77 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps, but he has finished among the top 16 running backs only once, 15th in Week 1. New Orleans has allowed 29.4 half-PPR points per game to running backs through Week 5, the most among 32 defenses.

Tony PollardRB · TENat IND

Pollard has carried 14 to 17 times in each of the last four games, though he drew one target in Week 5 and finished 36th among running backs with 5.2 half-PPR points. Indianapolis has allowed 24.6 half-PPR points per game to running backs through Week 5, the fifth most among 32 defenses.

Sits

Ashton JeantyRB · LVvs. BUF

Jeanty's carries have fallen from 23 in Week 1 to 10 in Week 5, and his snap rate from 84 percent in Week 3 to 53 percent in Week 5, when he finished 26th among running backs. Buffalo has allowed 25.5 half-PPR points per game to running backs through Week 5, the fourth most among 32 defenses, so the concern is his workload, not the opponent.

D'Andre SwiftRB · CHIat ATL

Swift's carries have fallen from 18 in Week 1 to nine in Week 5, and Roschon Johnson drew seven targets to Swift's five that week. Swift's 12th-place finish among running backs included a touchdown.

Mike EvansWR · SFvs. WAS

Evans finished sixth among wide receivers in Week 5 with 22.8 half-PPR points on ten targets and 63 percent of the offensive snaps. In the four games before that, he never finished better than 16th, and he has played between 33 and 75 percent of San Francisco's offensive snaps this season.

Davante AdamsWR · LAvs. ARI

Adams has finished in the top 12 among wide receivers in three games and 62nd or lower in the other two. He drew seven targets in Week 5, compared with 24 for Puka Nacua.

Chris OlaveWR · NOat NYG

Olave drew six targets in Week 5 after 12 or more in three of the first four games, and he finished 45th among wide receivers after finishing no lower than 19th in each of those four. ESPN lists him as questionable as of Oct. 16.

Recommendations are for half-PPR, single-QB, season-long leagues. Check final inactive lists before locking lineups. If a recommended player does not play, the recommendation is graded as a void.
