Fantasy Football 2019: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 5
We’re officially a month into the NFL season and by this point, fantasy football owners are getting an idea of what players are doing well for them and which ones are giant busts. Who should you start and who should you sit this week?
Somehow it’s already week five of the regular season and while it’d be great if your fantasy football team is 4-0 at this point, if you’re like me and decided to roll with Andy Dalton during Jimmy Garoppolo‘s bye week (I blame Drew Brees for getting injured and leaving me with less than stellar options), you’re not undefeated. Sigh.
Anyway, let’s check out who my featured five Start ‘Ems were last week and who I advised fantasy footballers to roll with in week four.
- Daniel Jones (12.3) – Not a great performance by the rookie, but enough to get the win.
- Kerryon Johnson (15.7) – Rushed all over the Chiefs defense, as expected.
- Tyler Boyd (6.3) – The Bengals offense is really bad.
- Will Dissly (18.7) – Boom goes the dynamite!
- Chargers D/ST (12) – Easy to rack up 12 points against a JV squad.
Here were my featured five Sit ‘Em candidates, who I advised owners to slow the roll on in week four.
- Baker Mayfield (15.7) – His best performance of the year, but still wasn’t crisp.
- Devonta Freeman (18) – Missed here, as he was a threat in the receiving game.
- Stefon Diggs (15.8) – Just as fantasy owners had given up on him, he came roaring back.
- Jared Cook (5.1) – Has become a weekly Sit ‘Em option.
- Chiefs D/ST (10) – Multiple sacks and a big time fumble recovery made this a bad call.
Let’s see how well I do in week five!
