Dominate your fantasy football leagues with these favorable Week 5 matchups.
Tony Pollard vs. IND
Pollard has played four games this season and is averaging 61% of the Titans’ snaps while commanding over 19 opportunities per game. The Titans paid Pollard starting RB money this offseason, $21.8 million across three years. Through four games he’s been the clear lead back over Tyjae Spears and currently ranks top 10 in yards after contact and has three top-20 finishes already this season.
This week, Pollard exits his bye and immediately finds himself in a strong matchup against the Colts. Indy allowed 120+ total yards and two touchdowns to Tank Bigsby last week. Overall this season, the Colts have allowed the second-most rushing yards per game. Start Pollard with confidence in Week 6.
Terry McLaurin vs. BAL
McLaurin has been unlocked this season with rookie QB Jayden Daniels under center. Over the past three games, McLaurin has been a top-20 fantasy receiver averaging 88 yards per contest. Entering Week 6, Terry ranks third in the NFL in deep targets of 20+ yards according to PlayerProfiler. This type of usage will lead to consistently explosive plays.
Expect the strong utilization to continue in a great matchup this week. The Commanders will face the Ravens, who have a much worse secondary this season. Baltimore currently allows the second most passing yards per game. Start McLaurin in this sneaky good matchup.
DeAndre Hopkins vs. IND
Hopkins is coming off a much-needed bye week. Through his first four games this season, Hopkins has been battling a knee injury. This has limited him to running just 44% of the Titans routes, according to Fantasy Life.
But despite being limited, Hopkins has led the Titans in target share the past two games, ahead of Calvin Ridley. Hopkins also ran a season-high 57% of the routes in Week 4 before the bye. There’s a good chance his role is expanded coming out of this extra week of rest.
Hopkins finds himself in a great matchup this week….
