Week 5 Must Starts

Alright, we are gonna switch it up this week. Instead of going straight sleepers, I’m going to give your FOUR guys that you need to have in your lineups this weekend in order to secure a W in your fantasy leagues. The first month is over - the wackiness is all out. The Puka Nacua’s and De’Von Achane’s of the world are known. Now its about putting in the right lineup.

MUST START - Detroit Lions DST (vs. Carolina)

After spending money in the off-season, the Lions have quietly been one of the best defenses in the league. Aidan Hutchinson has established himself as a press machine and they should have a huge game against an offensive line that has struggled to keep Bryce Young upright a month into the season.

MUST START - Zay Flowers WR (@ Pittsburgh)

Flowers has had 10 targets in 2/4 games they’ve played so far this season. While those targets haven’t translated into big points yet this season, I think that changes this week. The Steelers surprisingly have the 28th ranked pass defense and Patrick Peterson did call him out during the week. This is the best rivalry in football and there is always some juice to it. Add Flowers to to have a big game today.

MUST START - Anthony Richardson QB (vs. Tennessee)

Richardson finally gets the start this weekend. In two games this year, Richardson has a QB5 finish of better in fantasy. This week he gets the Titans at home who struggled against DeShaun Watson a couple of weeks ago in Cleveland - a mobilish quarterback. The return of the Jonathan Taylor (although limited) will absolutely help the Colts offense.

MUST START - Breece Hall RB (@ Denver)

“The training wheels are off”. Couple that with the fact that Denver is ranked dead last in defense against the run. We have liftoff for Hall.
