Justin Fields Poised to Run Wild vs. Leaky Dallas D

Saturday, October 4, 1:23 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields will line up for a favorable matchup this Sunday when his team takes on the visiting Dallas Cowboys. New York fell to 0-4 on Monday night in their loss to the Dolphins, but Fields rebounded in his return from a concussion. The 26-year-old was again interception-free and scored his third rushing touchdown of the season en route to a top-five fantasy finish at his position. He'll get another chance to reward fantasy managers who stuck with him in Week 5 against a porous Dallas defense. In addition to the Cowboys being beatable on the ground, they've allowed the most passing yards per game to opposing offenses (297.3) and the most fantasy points per outing to quarterbacks. Fields isn't surrounded by an impressive cast of skill players, but his work in the ground game will continue to boost his fantasy output. He's RotoBaller's QB5 for his meeting with the Cowboys.

Dillon Gabriel a Low-End Option in Week 5

Saturday, October 4, 9:50 AM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel will make his NFL debut in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. The Browns benched ineffective starter Joe Flacco earlier in the week and will turn to Gabriel, whom they drafted in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft. The rookie faces a tough task right off the bat against a Brian Flores-led Minnesota defense that tends to cause havoc for even the top quarterbacks in the league. The Browns are likely to limit Gabriel's pass attempts in his debut as a run-heavy offensive approach is likely. Treat Gabriel as a high-end QB3 in fantasy leagues for Week 5.
