Fantasy Football Week 5 Start/Sit Advice for Wide Receivers
As Week 5 of the fantasy football season approaches, players face challenging decisions on who to start or sit in their lineups. Expert Derek Brown provides insights into several wide receivers to consider for this week.
Parker Washington, currently ranked WR23, had a disappointing performance last week but previously showed strong potential with a 27.2% target share. He may rebound against a secondary that could be missing key players. Denzel Boston, ranked WR20, has been performing well but faces a tough matchup against the Jets. Matthew Golden, the WR16, continues to impress 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 share. Devaughn Vele benefits from a high-volume passing offense, while Emeka Egbuka's recent performance raises questions about his consistency. Darius Cooper and Jakobi Meyers are also highlighted as potential flex options. Overall, players must weigh matchups and recent performances as they finalize their lineups for the week.
