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.

Brian Thomas Jr. a Sketchy WR2 Once Again

Saturday, October 4, 8:55 PM

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.
