Taking advantage of injuries is the theme of this week (even more than usual).
QUARTERBACK
Match-up Proof: Tyler Shough
Saints are dominating the NFL in pass attempts per game (45). Shough is officially match-up proof based on volume and current personnel (no Etienne this week).
Lock Button: Jacoby Brissett
If Brissett is somehow on the waiver wire facing Detroit with a 54.5 pt total, find a more competitive league. He is our QB7 this week!
Desperation Stream: Tyson Bagent
From last week: “Bagent has Keenum’s arm and Caleb’s legs and is one of the great under-the-radar QB spike week streamer plays of the year.” Also, the Bears primary running backs are banged up, so Bagent will be called upon to win this game.
RUNNING BACK
Lock Button: Aaron Jones
That note about Shough above also makes Aaron Jones a projected RB1 for Week 5 as he is an all-purpose back with no touch competition in Minnesota.
Bell Cow Time: Bhayshul Tuten
Eagles are officially a run funnel defense, and the explosive Tuten is officially a bell cow back after logging 19 touches in Week 4: 76% RB Opportunity Share.
