Carlos Hyde has a potentially good matchup against Indianapolis in Week 5.

Cam Newton and Bilal Powell had breakout games in Week 4. Will they repeat? We look to Remarkable! to find the most favorable matchups for your team…

 

Quarterbacks

  • It might be a high scoring affair between the Seahawks and Rams. Russell Wilson (SEA) has averaged 19 fantasy points per game since Week 8 of last season (fourth best among QBs). He will face a Los Angeles defense that allowed 17 points per game to opposing QBs last season — fifth worst in the league (League Avg: 16).
  • Dak Prescott (DAL) has thrown for 4,608 yards on 602 pass attempts (8 YPA) since the start of last season (NFL Rank: 7th). He will face Green Bay in Week 5. The Packers allowed 8 YPA last season, ranking 31st.
  • If Sam Bradford is healthy, he will be a good starting option. Bradford (MIN) has a passer rating of 111 since Week 12 of last season (NFL Rank: 3rd among qualified QBs). Minnesota will face Chicago, who had a defensive passer rating of 95 last season (NFL Rank: 27th of 32).

 

Running Backs

  • Carlos Hyde (SF) has averaged 14 fantasy points per game since Week 12 of last season. He will face an Indianapolis defense that allowed an average of 16 points per game to its opponent’s top scoring RB last season — second worst in the league (League Avg: 13).
  • If Matt Forte is out, Bilal Powell will be a strong start — much like last week. Powell (NYJ) has averaged 14 fantasy points per game since Week 12 of last season (NFL Rank: eighth best among RBs). He will face a Cleveland defense that allowed an average of 15 points per game to its opponent’s top scoring RB last season — fourth worst in the league (League Avg: 13).
  • If you’re in a points for points per reception (PPR) league, Theo Riddick might be a good add to your starting lineup. Riddick (DET) has been targeted 88 times since the start of last season (NFL Rank: 5th among RBs). Detroit will face Carolina, who allowed 128 receptions to RBs last season (NFL Rank: 2nd most of 32).
  • LeSean McCoy might have a big day against the Cincinnati Bengals. McCoy (BUF) has been targeted 40 times since Week 12 of last season (NFL Rank: 4th among RBs). Cincinnati allowed 113 receptions to RBs last season (NFL Rank: 6th most of 32).

 

Wide Receivers

  • T.Y. Hilton (IND) has averaged 11 fantasy points per game since the start of last season (NFL Rank: ninth best among WRs). He will face a San Francisco defense that allowed an average of 14 points per game to its opponent’s top scoring WR last season — fifth worst in the league (League Avg: 12).
  • Doug Baldwin (SEA) has been targeted 14 times in the Red Zone since Week 8 of last season (NFL Rank: 10th among WRs). Seattle will face the Rams, who allowed 20 receiving touchdowns to WRs in the Red Zone last season (NFL Rank: 2nd most of 32).
  • Larry Fitzgerald (ARI) has averaged 9 fantasy points per game since the start of last season. He will face a Philadelphia defense that allowed an average of 13 points per game to its opponent’s top scoring WR last season — seventh worst in the league (League Avg: 12).
  • Jarvis Landry (MIA) has 25 receptions in 3 games (8 per game) since Week 16 of last season — best among WRs. Tennessee has allowed 15 receptions per game to WRs (worst in NFL).

 

Tight Ends

  • With WR Davante Adams still in the NFL concussion protocol, look for Aaron Rodgers to get his TEs involved. Martellus Bennett (GB) has been targeted 28 times since Week 16 of last season (NFL Rank: 4th among TEs). Green Bay will face Dallas, who allowed 1,397 receiving yards to TEs last season (NFL Rank: second most).
  • Along with having the fifth most receiving yards among TEs this season, Delanie Walker (TEN) has been targeted 8 times in the Red Zone since Week 12 of last season (NFL Rank: 7th among TEs). Tennessee will face Miami, who allowed 11 receiving touchdowns to TEs in the Red Zone last season (NFL Rank: 2nd most of 32).
  • Antonio Gates (LAC) has 297 receiving yards since Week 12 of last season (NFL Rank: 11th among TEs). The Chargers will face the Giants, who allowed 1,361 receiving yards to TE last season (NFL Rank: third most).
