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.

Ashton Jeanty "Handling Everything Beautifully"

Monday, October 6, 3:17 PM

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll had some good words to say about rookie first-round running back Ashton Jeanty after his first five games in the league. "I think Ashton is handling everything beautifully," Carroll said. The 21-year-old Boise State product was a disappointment for fantasy managers who took him early in drafts through the first three weeks, but then he showcased his game-changing playmaking skills in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears when he ran for 138 yards and a touchdown on a season-high 21 carries. He has two rushing TDs and has also added two receiving scores, but he only has 12 receptions through five weeks. In the Week 5 blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Jeanty had single-game career highs in targets, catches, and receiving yards. It hasn't been perfect early on in the Raiders' struggling offense, but Jeanty's explosiveness is evident, making him a must-start RB1 every week. He could easily bust out again in Week 6 versus the one-win Titans.
