Who Should I Start? Spencer Rattler or Brian Thomas Jr.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler put up a season-low 126 passing yards against the Bills in Week 4. It was his first game under 200 yards this season, though he added value on the ground with six rushes for 49 yards. Rattler's 146 pass attempts rank fifth in the league, but he's averaging just 191.3 yards per game, 26th among quarterbacks. He has done well avoiding turnovers with only one interception, but remains winless as a starter at 0-10. Now he faces a Giants defense that just held Justin Herbert to 203 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Rattler remains a low-end QB2 or Superflex option in Week 5, though with Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau practicing in a limited fashion, he may have additional weapons available soon.

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.
