Jared Goff Set Up for Bounce-Back Week in Favorable Week 5 Matchup?

Friday, October 3, 4:33 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff struggled in Week 4 in a difficult matchup against the Cleveland Browns, completing just 59.3% of his pass attempts for 168 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The 30-year-old has now thrown for 929 yards, nine touchdowns, and two picks through his first four games of 2025. Goff gets an easier matchup on paper in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed the third-most passing yards in the NFL (1,089) through the first four weeks of the season. The Lions currently rank ninth in the league in yards per pass attempt (7.6), so they should be able to find success moving the ball through the air. Goff profiles as a low-end fantasy starter in single-QB formats and a must-start quarterback in two-QB leagues in Week 5.

Michael Wilson Tough to Trust as a Fantasy Starter in Week 5

Saturday, October 4, 12:43 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson is off to a quiet start to the 2025 season, recording just six catches for 36 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets through his first four games. He saw a season-high six targets in Week 4, but Arizona wide receiver Zay Jones (concussion) is slated to return in Week 5 after missing Week 4 and could eat into Wilson's target share. Wilson and the Cardinals are favored by more than a touchdown in their Week 5 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, which could lead to a run-heavy game script. Wilson should remain off of fantasy radars this Sunday.
