Fantasy football Week 5 kicks off tonight and has the same vibe as last week's TNF. The headliners aren't as prominent, but their performances conflict with expectations. I can't figure out either team. The Colts told us they wanted a balanced offense to win a championship. But Indianapolis is below average in dropback and rushing EPA. And they're third in their division.
Indianapolis has been 21st in neutral passing rate on early downs since Frank Reich came to town. It's a team predicated on their rushing attack. However, they can't run. The Colts are 29th in rushing success rate.has had three explosive runs in Weeks 3 and 4 after opening up the season with 10. The team has no new options and seemingly can't return to their old tricks. And Taylor has now been ruled out of this game..
Russell Wilson is throwing over the middle a lot more this year. He is currently 16th in attempts at or inside the numbers . The problem is that his completion percentage on those throws ranks 34th in the league. Jalen Hurts has similar attempts , but is at 82%and Nathaniel Hackett would click in their first year. Last season, Wilson had the third-most yards on attempts of 20-plus yards. Meanwhile,'s 2.59-sec average time to throw was the eighth quickest. There are philosophical differences in how Wilson and Hackett want to run an offense.But their relationship trials are negatively impacting our fantasy squads.
It'd be tonight if there were a time for Russ to cook. But there are a couple of other compelling storylines for tonight to monitor, too.Normally at this point, I'd be diving into the weeds to tell you which players to avoid. But this week's a bit different. There's a total of eight players rostered in more than 50.0% of leagues playing tonight. You don't need me to tell you to benchI’m interested in a couple of narratives tonight. But not just for TNF.
