The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football and will look to use the primetime game as a jumping-off point for the offense. Fans had high hopes for the team's offense with head coach Liam Coen entering the fold, but so far it has underwhelmed, mainly due to the performances of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. The second-year man will look to bounce back in a big way on national television, but that is something managers have been hoping for each of the past few weeks. BTJ was a force to be reckoned with last season, but in Week 5, fantasy managers may have to continue waiting for this year's reckoning in a tough matchup with the Chiefs' secondary.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins only had one catch in Week 4 against the Titans, but he made the most of it, hauling in a 26-yard touchdown strike from C.J. Stroud. He only played 31 snaps compared to Xavier Hutchinson's 48 snaps, but he was the more productive option, even though he only had one target. The No. 34 overall pick in the NFL Draft is still battling for playing time and not making a significant enough impact to be a fantasy option just yet. However, he does have the potential for big plays like he showed last week and could work his way into a larger role as the season progresses. For now, he's not a strong starting option, though, since he's only the No. 67 WR in RotoBaller's Week 5 rankings.
