The fantasy football Week 5 schedule is coming and this week some sleepers and free agent pick up options include Jerick McKinnon, Travis Kelce, Ben Tate, Justin Forsett, Bishop Sankey, Cordarrelle Patterson, Andre Williams, Matt Asiata, Knile Davis and Larry Donnell, as those players could have a big impact on this week and could help FF owners win their matchups.
The Monday night football matchup showed that the Chiefs have some solid options for fantasy owners, as Travis Kelce and Knile Davis each made an impact against the Patriots. Davis showed that he can still put up some numbers even with Jamaal Charles back, while Kelce is turning into one of those sleeper athletic tight ends that everyone seems to be getting in the NFL. Ben Tate is coming back from an injury and could be a solid option going forward, as he should start over Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West.
Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata are also good options for teams in need of some help at the RB position. Adrian Peterson is gone and isn't coming back any time soon and McKinnon and Asiata showed this week they are worth starting. McKinnon put up solid numbers and has shown some excellent speed, while Asiata got into the end zone again and could be a sleeper starter the rest of the way. Andre Williams is another back to look at, as the Giants are going to give him more chances behind Rashad Jennings.
The way the Giants offense is going right now, there are a number of sleepers out there, including Odell Beckham and Larry Donnell. Beckham is coming back after missing the start of the season with a hamstring injury, while Donnell comes in as one of the biggest surprises of the season. Donnell had three TD catches against the Redskins last week and he should be a strong TE start option moving forward for Eli Manning. Kelce ended up with eight catches for 93 yards in the game against the Pats and he also had a TD. Kelce has emerged as a strong TE1 option and moving forward Alex Smith will be using him more and more out of different formations.
Justin Forsett, Bishop Sankey, Cordarrelle Patterson and Tate are all solid options for this week, as Forsett has stepped up for the Ravens with Ray Rice out. Sankey is going to get more looks with Shonn Greene struggling, while Patterson has been the offensive playmaker for the Vikings. Eli Manning is another option to look at, as the Giants are coming together on offense and moving forward they could be a very good team to stick with. Jennings and Williams have been strong running the ball, while Donnell and Victor Cruz have been the top receivers.
The fantasy football schedule is into Week 5 of the season and some sleepers and free agent options to pick up moving forward on top of those names above include Donald Brown, Jordan Matthews, Steve Johnson, Allen Hurns, Matt Asiata, Brian Quick and Blake Bortles all could be solid options going forward, especially with bye weeks starting to take players out of the mix around the league for matchups.
