THE BYE WEEKS ARE COMING! THE BYE WEEKS ARE COMING!

Have no fear, RotoViz is here to help fantasy managers get through some of the most stressful weeks of the year. Whether looking for a fill-in for bye weeks or injuries, we’ve done the heavy lifting to make sure your rosters are stocked with talent during the bye weeks.

Week 5 Bye Weeks:

  • Philadelphia Eagles
  • Los Angeles Chargers
  • Detroit Lions
  • Tennessee Titans

Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:

  • To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in 50% or less of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • To be mentioned as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in 50% or more of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • FAAB recommendations will be given, but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
  • All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool
