START ‘EM FOR WEEK FIVE

Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks

Russell Wilson is a great quarterback who most people are going to start anyway. Some teams do have decisions to make at QB though, so if you have Wilson, stick with him. In two games last year, Wilson averaged 23.08 points against the Rams. Expect another 20 pointer from him this week.

Robert Woods, WR, Los Angeles Rams

Robert Woods has had a an up and down start to this season, making his fantasy owners wonder about his weekly status as a starter. He has enjoyed success against Seattle, as he averages 16 ppg over the last four contests against Seattle. None of those games were under 10 points either, so he should be a safe start this week.

Seattle Seahawks D/ST

If I am predicting Goff to struggle, then that means I also have to double down on the Hawks defense here. I believe they get enough sacks and turnovers to offset any points they allow, and are a sneaky good streaming defense this week if available in your league.
