Hey folks. We are back with another fantasy hockey injury report, and there is plenty to cover as the NHL season continues to take shape. Some teams are already dealing with significant injuries to key players, while others are getting encouraging signs that reinforcements could be on the way.
As much as tight end can be a more random fantasy position week to week than with other skills players, the top guys usually stand out most often. George Kittle, Trey McBride, Juwan Johnson, Travis Kelce, and Sam LaPorta are all in the top six in both standard and PPR scoring, and though Johnson may be a bit of a surprise, the rest of those players were expected to be weekly starters by most. (And Brock Bowers is in the top 10 despite missing two games.)
Bye weeks aren't starting easy in the quarterback world: Patrick Mahomes and Bryce Young are the first two QBs taking the week off. Those two both rank in the top six in fantasy points at the position, so on top of the injured players and bad matchups, there are two other strong fantasy options out in Week 5, making streamers even more important.
Week 5 of the NFL regular season kicks off tonight, and then a bunch of games remain for Sunday and Monday. Let's take a look at some start/sit decisions for players in the later games this week!
The NBA regular season will be here in a couple weeks, but there's already some notable injuries to discuss.
Fantasy trades can be hard to pull off because every owner wants to ensure that they are coming out ahead. The risk of making a move only to see the guy you acquired get hurt or the guy you sent away have big performances is enough to push many owners away from aggressive moves. They are more willing to live and die with their draft and waiver moves rather than possibly benefit another owner.
Playing matchups makes sense at every fantasy football spot, but at the skill positions, there are more must-start players who belong in your lineup every week, no matter who they are playing. With kickers and defenses, scoring is much more random, and the top performers often fluctuate from week to week, making it more beneficial to chase the best matchups.
Let's wrap up our Week 5 fantasy football rankings by going over the running back position.
