As usual, here are some other Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em options for week five.

START ‘EM

More from KC Kingdom

SIT ‘EM

Alex Smith is a good option to play against a weak Saints passing defense. Matt Breida, who leads the league in rushing, should have a field day against the Arizona run defense. Nelson Agholor has a chance to put up some points against a Vikings defense who has been shredded against slot receivers.

The Falcons defense is lousy, so any member of the Steelers offense is a good starting option. Lastly, the Ravens defense has been playing well and now will go up against a rookie quarterback in his second start ever. Gotta like those odds.

As for the sits, Dak Prescott is becoming an option to keep on the bench every week. Chris Carson was a last minute scratch last week and might not be completely healthy this week, even if he does suit up. Corey Davis had the biggest catch of his career last week, but don’t count on it happening again in week five.

David Njoku has been a decent tight end option, but Baltimore has been good at limiting tight ends. As for the defense, don’t gamble on Washington’s D being able to slow down Drew Brees and the fiery Saints offense.

Best of luck this week everyone!
