This week, Smith has a solid matchup with a weak Saints secondary, and given that he is coming off a bye week himself, it’s possible that he could be available to scoop up. Other top streamer options include Derek Carr (@ Chargers), Marcus Mariota (@ Bills), and Andy Dalton (vs. Dolphins).
Week 5 Rankings:Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker
We’re a bit skeptical of Dak Prescott (@ Texans) and Baker Mayfield (vs. Ravens) repeating their solid performances from last week. They could put up strong numbers, but the Cowboys offense has been inconsistent, so Prescott is a risk. Meanwhile, Mayfield will face the Ravens defense that just limited the Steelers to 14 points and are returning top corner Jimmy Smith to action. This week, there are just better options than those two.
