Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice for Wide Receivers in Week 5
In Week 5 of fantasy football, expert Derek Brown offers guidance on which wide receivers to start or sit, addressing several key players and their matchups.
Parker Washington, currently ranked WR23, had a disappointing performance last week but previously showed strong potential. He faces a Philadelphia secondary that may be missing a key player, making this matchup more favorable. Denzel Boston, ranked WR20, has been performing well but faces a tough Jets defense. Matthew Golden, WR16, is experiencing a breakout season and is expected to see significant volume against a Chicago defense.
Other notable players include Jaylen Waddle, who has struggled with quarterback play, and Carnell Tate, who has shown strong target volume. Devaughn Vele benefits from a high-volume offense, while Darius Cooper is emerging as a potential flex option. Jakobi Meyers has seen increased usage recently, and Dontayvion Wicks may bounce back after a quiet week. Deebo Samuel and DK Metcalf are also highlighted, with both facing challenging matchups this week.
