Fantasy Football: Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Recommendations for Week 5

USA TODAY Sports

WRs to Start in Week 5

Raiders’ Amari Cooper (vs. Chargers): It’s hard to trust Amari Cooper in fantasy, but I like him this week. Cooper is the best weapon the Raiders possess. He squares off against a Los Angeles Chargers defense that allows the fifth most points to WRs.

Falcons’ Calvin Ridley (vs. Steelers): Calvin Ridley should continue his hot streak this week. Ridley has scored six touchdowns in the past three weeks. He’ll likely score again, against a Steelers defense who allows the third most points to WRs this year.

Dolphins’ Kenny Stills (vs. Bengals): Kenny Still disappointed in Week 3. Stills walked away with just seven fantasy points. I like him to bounce back this week, against the Cincinnati Bengals, who allow the eighth most points to WRs.

Other WRs I Like: Chargers’ Mike Williams (vs. Raiders), Eagles’ Alshon Jeffery (vs. Vikings), Ravens’ John Brown (vs. Browns)

WRs to Sit in Week 5

Giants’ Sterling Shepard (vs. Panthers): Sterling Shepard is very talented, but it’s hard to trust Giants WRs right now. Shepard had the Giants only passing touchdown in Week 4. This week he goes up against a Carolina Panthers squad who allows the fifth least amount of points to WRs.

Seahawks’ Doug Baldwin (vs. Rams): I don’t like any of the Seattle Seahawks players this week. Doug Baldwin is no exception to that. Baldwin still recovering from an injury, faces a Rams defense allowing the eight least amount of points to WRs this season.
