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.

Mason Taylor Showing Early Growth in Rookie Campaign

Saturday, October 4, 1:43 PM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor hopes to continue building on his expanded role in Week 5 when his team hosts the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. After a slow first two weeks, in which he caught 2-of-3 targets, the rookie has burst onto the scene, hauling in nine receptions across the Jets' previous two outings. Taylor still has some work to do before fantasy managers can confidently roll him out on a weekly basis, but 13 targets in two weeks is encouraging, and it appears he'll be thrust into prominence sooner than later with a lack of options outside of running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Dallas' defense presents as vulnerable opposition, and it will be a good test for the LSU product as he tries to establish himself in the pros. Taylor is RotoBaller's PPR TE22 ahead of Week 5's matchup.
