Say what you want from the NFL, you can not say there are not enough goals or tight games.
According to the NFL, 3,030 points were scored in four weeks this season, beating the previous record of 2,986 points in 2012. The 344 touchdowns also scored the highest number of games in four games in NFL history, beating the old mark of 332 set in 2015.
You need more evidence that the NFL has completely moved into a temporary league, look no further. Of those 344 touchdowns, 288 were touchdown passes. This clears the old mark of 205 established in 2013.
It seems that the parody is alive, too.
The average margin of victory this season was 9.90 points per game. This is not far from the record of 1932 with a full season of 9.13 points. In addition, the league has recorded 38 games on a total score, the largest number in the history of the NFL during its first month.
This seems to be the perfect recipe for an exciting fantasy football season.
Here are my best bets for week 5:
INDIANAPOLIS IN NEW ENGLAND
Obvious entries: Andrew Luck (Colts), Tom Brady (Patriots), Rob Gronkowski (Patriots), Sony Michel (Patriots), James White (Patriots).
Who to start? A solid 22 receptions on 26 targets illustrate the flexural potential of Nyheim Hines (Colts) in most PPR formats. Another very heavy gaming scenario and the absence of Indy's broad-band receiver 1 could stimulate Ryan Grant (Colts) from a flex to a WR2 limit. Tight end Eric Ebron (Colts) proved to be Luck's first target in the red zone, scoring three goals out of four this season. Julian Edelman (Patriots) Comes back from a four-game suspension precisely when Brady needs a consistent target. Josh Gordon (Patriots) remains a flexible driver in the shape of boom or bust until new order.
Who to sit: Even with T.Y. Hilton, I have not seen enough Chester Rodgers (Colts) or Zach Pascal (Colts) to recommend them this week. Chris Hogan (Patriots) has only eight receptions against 15 targets and 109 yards in four games and is now facing increased competition for opportunities.
Sleeper: Veteran Robert Turbin (Colts) is fresh out of a four-game suspension. He spent the better part of the offseason with the starters and quickly managed to get 12 to 15 touches per game in a timeshare with Hines.
TENNESSEE IN BUFFALO
Obvious entries: Corey Davis (Titans), Dion Lewis (Titans).
Who to start? Marcus Mariota (Titans) finally, it seemed like he was feeling his fingers against the Eagles again. It's a solid candidate for streaming if you're in trouble this week. Taywan Taylor (Titans) deserves a consideration of flexibility in the deeper leagues of PPR with a healthy Mariota that throws stone. A happy blitz Titans D / ST should be feasting in this game.
Who to sit: Derrick Henry (Titans) is touched-or-bust in this offense until we see different. Sean McCoy (Bills) and Kelvin Benjamin (Bills) stay trapped in a fantastic wasteland.
Sleeper: Jonnu Smith (Titans) struggling to replace Delanie Walker, but faces a Bills defense that allowed a tight touchdown in two consecutive games.
MIAMI AT CINCINNATI
Obvious entries: ONE J. Green (Bengals).
Who to start? The match-up could provide Ryan Tannehill (dolphins) with a get-right opportunity after seeming terrible against the Patriots. He is a streaming candidate if you are desperate. Kenny Stills (dolphins) maintains its flex value with WR2 up against a low secondary. He is also the only trustworthy fantastic asset for Miami. Andy Dalton (Bengals) continues to be one of the best fantasy streaming candidates at QB. Joe Mixon (Bengals) is an obvious start if he comes back from his knee injury. Big gap of third year Tyler Boyd (Bengals) is in mid-season, with 104 receptions and 1396 yards to his credit with eight achievements.
Who to sit: It's hard to trust either Kenya Drake (dolphins) or Frank Gore (dolphins) until the volume increases. Giovani Bernard (Bengals) return to your bench after two productive weeks if Mixon returns.
Sleeper: C.J. Uzomah (Bengals) is the assistant in a strong attack after the last injury of Tyler Eifert.
BALTIMORE AT CLEVELAND
Obvious entries: Ravens D / ST, Jarvis Landry (Browns), Carlos Hyde (Browns).
Who to start? It's a solid match for Alex Collins (Ravens) who is facing a Browns run defense that has just fallen victim to Marshawn Lynch. John Brown (Ravens) has at least five receptions, 86 yards or TD each game of the season. Javorius Allen (Ravens) maintains its flex value in the deepest leagues of the PPR with two touchdown receptions in its last four games against Cleveland.
Who to sit: Veteran caller Joe Flacco (Ravens) is off to a good start, but he is heading for a defeat against an aggressive Browns defense. Michael Crabtree (Ravens) It will take more than two red zone targets in four games to be considered for anything greater than a desperate flex position in the future. The Ravens have four legitimate game makers at the end of the roll, which makes it impossible to use any of them unless you are taking the lead. It's a much more difficult match for Baker Mayfield (Browns) that the Raiders offered. It will probably not be this week, but it's only a matter of time before Antonio Callaway (Browns) bursts significantly, given the chemistry that he has with Mayfield and the increase in volume.
Sleeper: It's a decent match – the Ravens have averaged five receptions and 53 yards per game at close ends – and the volume has gone up David Njoku (Browns) with a new quarterback under the center.
GREEN BAY AT DETROIT
Obvious entries: Aaron Rodgers (Packers), Davante Adams (Packers), Jimmy Graham (Packers), Matthew Stafford (Lions), Golden Tate (Lions), Kenny Golladay (Lions).
Who to start? Geronimo Allison (Packers) is online for a monster day if Randall Cobb misses another match with a bad hamstring and he passes through the NFL's concussion protocol without any problems. If Allison and Cobb are short of time or limited, Ty Montgomery (Packers) has a high flexural potential in most PPR formats. Aaron Jones (packers) has RB2 against a Lions run defense. Marvin Jones (Lions) maintains its WR3 / flex potential in what should be a high score case. Kerryon Johnson (Lions) deserves to be considered flexibly against a top-down defense of the Packers.
Who to sit: Jamaal Williams (Packers) is the strange man in the Packers' three-headed backfield, at least for fantastic purposes. Theo Riddick (Lions) and LeGarrette Blount (Lions) remain very specialized lottery tickets.
Sleeper: If Allison and Cobb are short of time or limited, the rookie Brand Valdes-Scantling (Packer) will be the receiver of the starting slot and fit for a leaflet.
JACKSONVILLE IN KANSAS
Obvious entries: T.J. Yeldon (Jaguars), Jaguars D / ST, Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs), Travis Kelce (Chiefs), Tyreek Hill (Chiefs), Kareem Hunt (Chiefs).
Who to start? Good" Blake Bortles (Jaguars) is here and is an interesting option against the Chiefs' defense. Both Dede Westbrook (Jaguars) and Keelan Cole (Jaguars) deserve some flexibility in the face of such a terrible secondary.
Who to sit: A third touchdown in four games would be a trend that deserves public attention. Donte Moncrief (Jaguars)otherwise, the volume is too inconsistent. A hamstring problem has made me disappear Sammy Watkins (chefs) with a difficult match-up.
Sleeper: I'm waiting at Austin Seferian-Jenkins (Jaguars) take advantage of the Chiefs defense allowing nearly six receptions and 90 yards per game per tight game.
Denver at N.Y. JETS
Obvious entries: Emmanuel Sanders (Broncos).
Who to start? I'm about to relegate Demaryius Thomas (Broncos) from a WR2 to a WR3 / flex option. the Broncos D / ST are less advertised, but still have a special talent against a rookie quarterback. A touchdown in three consecutive weeks Royce Freeman (Broncos) a solid flex option with benefits. A constant volume of keys makes Phillip Lindsay (Broncos) a strong flex option, especially in most PPR formats. A happy blitz Jets D / ST could be a solid streamer against a quarterback prone to error. PPR flex-play Quincy Enunwa (Jets) is the only reliable wide receiver for New York because of its high volume.
Who to sit: Case Keenum (Broncos) has not touched since the first week. Sam Darnold (Jets) did not exceed 200 yards once this season. Isaiah Crowell (Jets) is a landing option. Bilal Powell (Jets) is flex-fit only in the deepest PPR leagues.
Sleeper: Broad-out rookie Courtland Sutton (Broncos) could flash flex potential in a decent match.
ATLANTA TO PITTSBURGH
Obvious entries: Matt Ryan (Falcons), Julio Jones (Falcons), Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers), Antonio Brown (Steelers), JuJu Smith-Schuster (Steelers).
Who to start? Devonta Freeman (Falcons) is an obvious beginning when he returns from his bruised knee. With Freeman back, Tevin Coleman (Falcons) returns to its role flex faithful. Do not expect Calvin Ridley (Falcons) to continue its ridiculous pace of touchdown – six in the last three weeks – but it remains a good flex option with a legitimate rise week after week. Mohamed Sanu (Falcons) always has a flex value in the deeper PPR leagues. Only 97 rushing yards in the last three weeks to James Conner (Steelers) This is disturbing, but there is still too much potential to consider. Vance McDonald (Steelers) is a TE1 border against Atlanta's exhausted secondary.
Who to sit: The emergence of McDonald's has relegated Jesse James (Steelers) Roethlisberger also throws from time to time.
Sleeper: A lack of volume kept Austin Hooper (Falcons) on your bench, but it is a limit TE1 with a premium match-up.
N.Y. GIANTS AT LA CAROLINE
Obvious entries: Saquon Barkley (Giants), Odell Beckham Jr. (Giants), Cam Newton (Panthers), Christian McCaffrey (Panthers), Panthers D / ST.
Who to start? Sterling Shepard (Giants) is a WR3 / flex option with at least six receptions, 77 yards and one touchdown in the last two weeks. You could do worse than Rhett Ellison (Giants) like a thief at the tight end with this solid match. The Panthers have allowed 15 receptions, 178 yards and two touchdowns in the position of the last two games. Devin Funchess (Panthers) remains a flex quality option.
Who to sit: Eli Manning (Giants) has only one game with multiple touchdown passes and zero play over 300 yards. Vertical threat Torrey Smith (Panthers) remains a touch-dependent flex option with a bad match.
Sleeper: Rookie tight end Ian Thomas (Panthers) could be a useful striker against a defense that allowed nine receptions for 201 yards to the position over the past two weeks.
OAKLAND AT L.A. LOADERS
Obvious entries: Marshawn Lynch (Raiders), Amari Cooper (Raiders), Jared Cook (Raiders), Philip Rivers (Chargers), Melvin Gordon (Chargers), Keenan Allen (Chargers).
Who to start? Derek Carr (Raiders) is a sneaky streamer fresh out of a four-game touchdown against the Browns and averaging 343 passing yards per game. Since I called it irrelevant in fantasy, Jordy Nelson (Raiders) produced 11 receptions, 221 yards and two highly relevant touchdowns over the past two weeks. He deserves flexible consideration this week. Look for Mike Williams (chargers) to bounce back as a flex option with WR2 up against a mineable secondary.
Who to sit: Future hall of the famer Antonio Gates (chargers) remains an option for landing or tucking.
Sleeper: Do-it-all being executed Austin Ekeler (Chargers) deserves flexible consideration in PPR formats and deeper standard leagues with 351 total yards in four games.
MINNESOTA TO PHILADELPHIA
Obvious entries: Kirk Cousins (Vikings), Adam Thielen (Vikings), Stefon Diggs (Vikings), Kyle Rudolph (Vikings), Carson Wentz (Eagles), Zach Ertz (Eagles), Alshon Jeffery (Eagles), Eagles D / ST.
Who to start? Back against the wall, I believe that the Vikings D / ST intensifies in a big way. With Jeffery back, Nelson Agholor (Eagles) slides to a WR3 / flex. As long as the volume is high, consider Jay Ajayi (Eagles) a flex option with RB2 upside.
Who to sit: I would make ice cream Dalvin Cook (Vikings) until I know that his hamstring is 100%, especially with this match-up Even though Cook is limited, Latavius Murray (Vikings) was not productive enough to be considered worthy of flexion.
Sleeper: Cousins have practically begged Minnesota to sign Aldrick Robinson (Vikings) – a former teammate in Washington – and then sent him two touchdowns against the Rams last week. He could be decent in the deepest leagues if you are desperate.
ARIZONA IN SAN FRANCISCO
Obvious entries: David Johnson (Cardinals), D / ST Cardinals, George Kittle (49ers).
Who to start? Future hall of the famer Larry Fitzgerald (Cardinals) averaged six receptions and 78 receiving yards – scoring 17 touchdowns in 28 games – per career game against the 49ers. Ricky Seals-Jones (Cardinals) is a TE1 limit against a defense that allowed a touchdown to the position at every game of the season. Matt Brieda (49ers) RB1 is up against a rush defense that has allowed seven touchdowns to turn around in four games. the 49ers D / ST are a sneaky streamer if you are desperate against a rookie quarter who takes his first steps on the road.
Who to sit: It is too early to consider Josh Rosen (Cardinals) for your fantasy team. It's a bad match for C.J. Beathard (49ers). Pierre Garcon (49ers) and Marquise Goodwin (49ers) we can not trust this terrible match-up.
Sleeper: With 15 receptions in the last three weeks, Christian Kirk (Cardinals) is a lower level option in deeper PPR formats.
L.A.SAMS IN SEATTLE
Obvious entries: Jared Goff (Rams), Todd Gurley (Rams), Brandin Cooks (Rams), Cooper Kupp (Rams), Robert Woods (Rams), Rams D / ST.
Who to start? High volume of targets will make starting difficult Doug Baldwin (Seahawks) Is it worth it. Tyler Lockett (Seahawks) leads the team in itineraries, receptions, receptions and touchdowns, while maintaining its value as a strong flex option.
Who to sit: Tight ends Gerald Everett (Rams) and Tyler Higbee (Rams) the order of the passing game is not high enough to be useful in fantasy. Russell Wilson (Seahawks) passed for just 340 yards and two touchdowns in two games against the Rams last season. Even the Seahawks D / ST are not safe against the Rams offense. It's a bad match for Chris Carson (Seahawks) and Mike Davis (Seahawks).
Sleeper: An increase in the target volume should make Nick Vannett (Seahawks) a decent desperation plays at the tight end.
DALLAS IN HOUSTON
Obvious entries: Ezekiel Elliott (Cowboys), Deshaun Watson (Texans), DeAndre Hopkins (Texans), Will Fuller (Texans).
Who to start? The Texans have allowed 17 sacks in four games making the Cowboys D / ST a sneaky broadcast option. Dak Prescott (Cowboys) deserves to be considered against a defense allowing at least 277 yards passing and two touchdowns in three of the four games. Cole Beasley (Cowboys) is a solid flexible option in most PPR formats. Lamar Miller (Texans) remains a viable flex option because of volume. Keke Coutee (Texans) deserves a flexible reflection on its spectacular beginnings. It has the advantage WR2 if Fuller is limited or because of a hamstring problem.
Who to sit: It's hard to trust Allen Hurns (Cowboys) or Micheal Gallup (Cowboys) even with a positive match-up.
Sleeper: Tight end Geoff Swaim (Cowboys) faced a defense that allowed a touchdown to position in three of the four games.
WASHINGTON IN NEW ORLEANS
Obvious entries: Jordan Reed (Red Skins), Drew Brees (Saints), Alvin Kamara (Saints), Michael Thomas (Saints)
Who to start? Alex Smith (Redskins) is a premium streamer against such a passable password defense. Chris Thompson (Redskins) remains an RB2 in most PPR formats. Jamison Crowder (Redskins) has the potential WR3 / flex with this positive match. Mark Ingram (Saints) is a leading bending option with RB2 on the rise after returning from suspension.
Who to sit: A torn Adrian Peterson (Redskins) could fight a race defense that has not yet allowed more than 76 yards in a game. Both Josh Doctson (Redskins) and Paul Richardson (Redskins) are too hard to trust this week. Ted Ginn (Saints) remains an option of flexing expansion or slowing down.
Sleeper: Benjamin Watson (Saints) faces a defense that has allowed tight ends at least five receptions, 45 yards on receptions or a touchdown in his last two games.
