Week 5 Final News Update
You need to know this key overnight news...
Hey - I’m back again.
Week 5 is just hours away and before it begins you need to know the important news that came in last night:
#10 Anthony Richardson is now doubtful
Joe Flacco will now start. This makes Josh Downs and Michael Pittman must starts…
#9 Brian Robinson will play
He was able to practice on Friday - he should be close to a full go today. Robinson is averaging over 5 yards per touch on a Top 10 rush offense. Start him today…
#8 Trey McBride was downgraded to questionable
But according to Adam Schefter – he’s expected to play. McBride has earned 24% of the Cardinals targets this year – this ranks #1 among all TEs.
He’s the #6 TE this week…
#7 Evan Engram is not expected to play
Brenton Strange will continue to start for Jacksonville. Strange has earned 14% of the team’s targets with Engram out…
#6 David Njoku is expected to play
He had a weird week of practice. Njoku practice on Thursday & Friday – but was out on Thursday. He’s expected to start and is now a Top 10 TE this week…
#5 Dameon Pierce is not expected to play
He was able to practice in limited fashion on Friday - but doesn’t appear to be playing to this week. Cam Akers will start - but last week 3 RBs saw at least 22% of the snaps.
You can start Akers - but he’s not a Top 24 RB this week…
#4 George Kittle expects to play.
He was able to get a practice in on Friday & for what it’s worth – Kittle played through this injury last week. Kittle is a Top 3 TE this week…
#3 Clyde Edwards-Helaire is doubtful
He likely won’t play this week - this cements Kareem Hunt has a Top 24 RB for Week 5…
#2 Brandon Cooks is placed on IR
He’ll miss at least 4 games. Add Jalen Tolbert in all leagues formats…
#1 Romeo Doubs is suspended 1 game
He reportedly missed practice this week due to his frustrations with his role in this offense. This makes Bo Melton an add in deeper leagues.
