Week 5 is here and it’s time to get your lineups right! In this episode, I break down my favorite starts, sits, sleepers, and busts to help you crush your matchups. We’ll talk about why Justin Fields could smash again, why David Montgomery is a near lock for another touchdown, and why I’m completely out on guys like Jordan Mason and Calvin Ridley.

I’ll also give you my DFS breakdown with stacks, cheap plays, and fades you can’t afford to miss. Want to sneak in a sleeper like Woody Marks or Mason Taylor? Or know which big names could completely bust this week like Bo Nix or Kenneth Walker? I’ve got you covered.

And because I know you want a full slate preview, I’ll run through every single Week 5 game lightning-round style — giving you one player I’m starting with confidence and one I’m fading in each matchup. No wasted time, just actionable takes.

Finally, I’ll hit your listener questions and wrap things up with my boldest calls of the week. Whether you’re chasing a win in season-long, looking for that DFS edge, or trying to avoid the landmines, this episode will set you up for success.
