The Los Angeles Rams Defense has been playing well to start the season, and they are a strong play in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team. They’ve been playing great defense thanks to their ability to generate pressure up the middle, while cornerback Jalen Ramsey has been great at matching up with top wide receivers. In Week 5, they’ll get to play against quarterback

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has struggled in three out of four weeks to start the season, but he has a big opportunity for success in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team. Higbee has been unable to get into the end zone outside of Week 2, but he has the potential to change that against Washington, who have allowed five touchdowns to

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had a quiet game in Week 4, but he’s poised to bounce back in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team. This offense has been really picking up its level of play this season, and Woods has been a primary beneficiary of that. Woods is almost always first or second on the team in targets for the week,

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp started the season slow, but he’s starting to find his groove over the last couple of weeks. That should continue in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team. Washington’s strength is in their front seven on the defensive side of the ball, but that talent level drops off in the secondary. Kupp sees a consistent amount of volume

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is a streaming option for this week against Atlanta. On the season, Slye has gone 10-for-11 in field goal attempts and 7-for-9 in extra point attempts. The Falcons are middle-of-the-pack in points allowed to kickers, but Slye’s decent production this season gives him starting value in leagues of over 10-12 teams. Source: NFL.com

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (ribs) is expected to return to play in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team, but we would be avoiding him for fantasy purposes this week. The Rams could easily look to let him rehab from that injury by easing him into backfield duties. He should still see some work this Sunday, but it may not be enough

The Carolina Panthers Defense has shown signs of improvement in the past two weeks but is not a strong streaming option for Week 5 against Atlanta. The Falcons’ problem is their defense and the offense has had to pick up the load to keep the team in games. The offense is filled with talented playmakers across the board including Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Todd Gurley

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is not a viable starting option this week. The tight end has seen a total of five receptions for 30 yards and a score on nine targets through four games. His role is simply not large enough for him to be trustworthy enough to start in fantasy. Source: NFL.com

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel is a flex option for Week 5. Samuel has seen a steady role this season as he has gotten at least three receptions, four targets, and 38 yards in three of four games. He is the WR3 on the team, so huge production is not expected out of Samuel. As a result, he merits flex value for this week.

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson is coming off of a bad week of play in Week 4 after two great weeks, and it’s hard to trust him in Week 5. He has yet to play more than 49 percent of the snaps in each of the team’s first four games, and it’s unlikely that you can trust him against the Washington Football Team

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is a WR2 this week against Atlanta. Anderson has started off his Carolina career exceptionally well, posting nearly 100 yards in three of four games. He has also seen over eight targets in three of four games as well. Anderson is developing a strong rapport with Teddy Bridgewater and is a solid WR2 this week against a Falcons secondary

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff isn’t a perfect option in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team, but he does give you a good option thanks to his weapons. The Rams feature multiple solid wide receivers and they can take advantage of the cornerback room of the Washington defense. This offense gets their wide receivers open through their scheme, and that makes life easier

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a WR2 for this week. Moore has posted only 65 and 49 yards respectively in the past two games, which is certainly disappointing considering his role as the WR1 on the team. This has been due to the emergence of Robby Anderson. Nevertheless, the Falcons allow the 10th-most fantasy points to wideouts and have a very injured secondary,

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is a low-end RB1 for Week 5. Davis has filled in well for injured back Christian McCaffrey as he has accumulated value in the rushing and passing game. Last week, the back had 16 carries for 84 yards and five receptions for 27 yards on six targets. In the past two games, Davis has seen at least 13 carries

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is a streaming option in Week 5 against the Falcons. In the past two games, the QB has tossed for over 500 yards and three touchdowns in winning efforts. In addition, he is starting to build comfort in this offense. The Panthers now play the hapless Falcons, who allow the most fantasy points to QBs, roughly 33. If there was

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a good fantasy option in Week 5 despite going up against a struggling New York Giants offense. The Giants offense has been good for opposing defenses, but the Cowboys unit has allowed 39, 36, and 49 points over their past three games. Week 4 saw them allow 508 total yards while recording just two sacks. They’re essentially a sure

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has fumbled the ball three times through four games, losing two of them that were returned for touchdowns. “So I just got to get rid of that issue. That can’t continue to be something that I do for the rest of the season. I can’t give up the ball anymore,” Elliott said. He has the most fumbles lost (seven)

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein kicked just two extra points in a Week 4 loss despite the Cowboys scoring 38 points. It was a bizarre stat line for the veteran kicker, as he didn’t get a chance to kick a field goal and saw his team go for two-point conversions after scoring touchdowns. Zuerlein’s two point fantasy performance was certainly disappointing for fantasy managers, but

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz (thigh) is expected to play in Week 5 against the New York Giants. Schultz was hurt near the end of the game in Week 4, suffering a bruised thigh, but he’s reportedly been fine in practice and isn’t in danger of missing Sunday’s game. Schultz remains a low-end TE1 option in most formats. Before getting hurt in Week 4,

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson is not a reliable fantasy starter in Week 5 lineups. After not being targeted in Weeks 1 or 2, Wilson exploded for two long touchdowns in Week 3 before falling back down to Earth with 3/34/0 in Week 4. He was in on just 22% of the team’s offensive snaps in Week 4, and the Cowboys probably won’t have
