Hello guys. Welcome to NFL Talk for week 5. A few teams remain undefeated and they are very impressive. Can they still do it? We shall see. Thanks for coming on and without further a do, lets get into this.
Big game picks:
Chargers Saints
That's about it. Not any real big or exciting games in week 5. Moving on.
Fantasy: (By the way, if you haven't picked up James Robinson, you should. Also pick up the Colts defense before anyone realizes.)
Justin Jefferson:
He is a BIG must. A Seahawks secondary that is down 3 starters and probably more. This is going to be a feast for the Vikings WRs. And it's also going to be a feast for Seattle in both the run and pass. So, everyone must get him. This is going to be one of those games where players on both sides have big games.
Kenyan Drake:
They are going against the Jets. This is too easy. BUT, the Cards should be careful after losing to the Panthers. But still, Drake should get started. The Jets probably will try some shenanigans on Kyler Murray if he keep the ball, so they should hand it off.
Darius Slayton:
This is a toss up. I am putting him in because I don't have any other option. But, it is Dallas, However, Danny Dimes has been throwing dimes to the secondary. So, I would be cautious. But, this Dallas secondary seems to be in loading mode while the other receivers go deep. So, I would put him in.
Players to shy away from:
David Montgomery:
This is very sad, but the Bucs defense is too good for the Bears. I could predict Matt Nagy's play calling and could call plays better than him (that is probably an exaggeration, but that's how it felt during the Colts game. If the Colts are bearing down on the run, you run play action. BUT, Coach Nagy decided, " Hmmmmmm, the Colts are bearing down on the run, and the pass lanes could have a chance, so let's run it." Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee). I'm writing this section after the game, and his playcalling gets an A+++ this game. He wasn't trying to force anything. Just taking what is given.
Chargers RBs:
Yes I know Austin Ekeler is out and Mr. Kelly will take over and he has sneaky speed and the power to knock anyone over, but he's not Austin Ekeler. And, this Saints defense is nothing to scoff about even though they have struggled lately (mostly because of that secondary). Also, Justin Jackson could be someone to watch.
Anyone on the Broncos:
They are going against the greatest minds is football (wouldn't it be cool to meet him and learn his tricks) without their starting QB and about half their defense. Bill Belichick did lose Gilmore for the game, but he turned this guy named Damiere Byrd (who apparently runs a 4.28 40) into a legit deep threat. Before, he was a guy that didn't record above 360 yards receiving, now he is on pace to go for 716 yards. But back to the point, Bill Belichick will be FINE. And the Broncos won't be.
Slumping players that should wake up:
D-Hop: Week 4 stat line- 7 rec 41 yds
They are going against the Jets.
Ezekiel Elliot: Week 4 stat line-12 att 54 yds
He has been in a slump for 2 weeks now. Part of it can be attributed to the change in system to where they will pass more which isn't his strength. It's making the defense trying to tackle him look like they are holding on to him for dear life instead of trying to flatten him. He will come out on fire because they are playing the Giants. Arguably the 2nd worst team in the NFL.
Darrell Henderson: Week 4 stats line- 8 att 21 yds 1 rec
This was disappointing for fantasy players around the world (probably only the US, but you never know). But, they are going against the WFT. A team whose pass rush is very underrated, but somehow can't seem to defend the run with 5 first rounders on that D-line.
