Fantasy Football Week 5 Start 'Em & Sit 'Em: Jalen Hurts among surprising sits - CBS Sports

CBS Sports’ Week 5 Fantasy Football Start ’Em & Sit ’Em focuses on matchups that could surprise owners, especially around quarterbacks. Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert are flagged as difficult to trust in Week 5 due to concerns at the offensive line and challenging opponents. The column instead points to players such as Ollie Gordon, Woody Marks and T.J. Hockenson as stronger options than their early-season fantasy reputation suggested. It also stresses that lineup decisions shouldn’t rely only on draft position, because defensive schemes, injuries, offensive tendencies and individual matchups matter. For the Cowboys-Buccaneers game, the piece notes Dallas’ pass rush has been below average, with four sacks through four games, supporting Dallas to have a game script favorable to quick passes. The must-start list includes CeeDee Lamb and Javonte Williams, while the sit list includes Jalon Daniels and others, citing Philadelphia’s roster gaps including Lane Johnson’s retirement and injuries to key players.
