Fantasy Football Top 5s for All Positions

QBs

1. Kirk Cousins vs Arizona

The Vikings are going against one of the five worst teams on both offense and defense, the Arizona Cardinals. Even though Cousins got hammered by the Bills a couple of weeks ago, this should be an easy win for Kirk and the Vikings.

Projection: 22 points

2. Patrick Mahomes @ New England

The Chiefs are going into Week 6 5-0 but they have to play an almost unstoppable offense run by Tom Brady but the Patriots' mediocre defense might let Mahomes put up some points as they struggled last week vs the Colts in the second half. This game might just be a shootout.

Projection: 21.7 points

3. Tom Brady vs Kansas City

This Kansas City defense hasn’t been bad, but hasn’t been that good. When there are two good offenses there’s gonna be scoring. My line is “Don’t bet against Brady.”

Projection: 21.3 points

4. Aaron Rodgers vs San Francisco

The Packers will be at Lambeau Field this week and Rodgers will be looking for the Lambeau leap against an inconsistent 49ers defense.

Projection: 20.8 points

5. Andy Dalton vs Pittsburgh Steelers

This pick might come as a shocker to some but when AJ Green is your top receiver you got a chance to put up points with the deep ball against Pittsburgh weak secondary.

Projection: 20 points

RBs

1. Todd Gurley @ Denver

Last years MVP, Todd Gurley looks to get in the end zone every time he's on the field. Against a weak Broncos team, Gurley’s points are projected way above the rest.

Projection: 18.5 points

2. Joe Mixon vs Pittsburgh

Mixon returned from injury last week and put up over 17 points. So it's safe to say that he will be 100 percent this week.

Projection: 16.7 points

3. James Conner @ Cincinnati

This might be Conner's last week as a starter for the Steelers as Bell is supposed to report back to the team next week as he hasn’t been around with a contract dispute. Conner will make the best of what he can get

Projection: 15.9 points

4. Dalvin Cook vs Arizona

Even though Cook has struggled to put up very many points in fantasy all season and being marked as questionable most weeks. But against a weak Cardinals run defense he's bound to have a breakout week.

Projection: 14 points

5. Marshawn Lynch vs Seattle

Lynch has been the most consistent RB in fantasy this season and an easy RB2 choice. Even though Seattle has a good run defense, Marshawn has never posted lower than 10.9 points before injuring himself for last week's game.

Projection: 13.2 points

WRs

1. Julio Jones vs Tampa Bay

Matt Ryan's Fantasy points have been pretty high all season mostly due to his best receiver, Julio Jones, who lately looks like he could make a catch that comes his way.

Projection: 13.8 points

2. AJ Green vs Pittsburgh

With Dalton ranking as our 5th QB this week, you have to assume that most of his passes will be to Green and even though he hasn't caught a lot of TDs, he's always on the verge of a big week.

Projection: 13.2 points

3. Antonio Brown @ Cincinnati

Even though Roethlisberger has shown signs of slowing down this year, he has the best receiving core on any team. Led by Antonio Brown, they could all be in for a big week.

Projection: 12.4 points

4. Adam Thielen vs Arizona

Between Diggs and Thielen, Cousins' top options will have a game against a weak Cardinals defense. Thielen does a good job of spreading out the secondary and whenever Cousins is your QB, you're gonna get some throws.

Projection: 12 points

5. Deandre Hopkins vs Buffalo

Even though Deshaun Watson has had a rough start to this NFL season, he should have no problems with the Bills defense this week and if he's looking for a target, Hopkins will be open.

Projection: 11.6 points

TEs

1. Rob Gronkowski vs Kansas City

Gronk is the easiest TE option you will ever have to make. He puts points up with easy and he's Brady's favorite target.

Projection: 13 points

2. Travis Kelce @ New England

In my book, Gronk 2.0, Kelce will also be in a prime position to put up points and play some bully ball vs. these Patriot defenders especially in the red zone.

Projection: 12.4 points

3. Zach Ertz @ New York Giants

Ertz has been the most consistent player on the Eagles offense to this point in the season and inserting him in your lineup against a middle of the pack Giants defense is a easy choice. Last week: 10 rec, 110 yards, 1 TD

Projection: 12.1 points

4. Eric Ebron @ New York Jets

Luck should have a good week against one of the worst teams in the league, and to this point Ebron has been his favorite target and put up 9 rec, 105 yards, 2 TDs

Projection: 11.5 points

5. Jimmy Graham vs San Francisco

Aaron Rodgers will have a big day this weekend and Graham will be my favorite player to have a day as 49ers won't be able to contain him.

Projection: 10.2 points

D/ST

1. Jaguars @ Dallas

Jaguars have the top defense in the league and with Dallas having a struggling Quarterback, the Jags will be all over him.

Projection: 9.7 points

2. Bears @ Miami

I believe the Bears to be the second best D behind Jacksonville and Tannehill and Drake would really have to show up in order to beat them big time.

Projection: 7.8 points

3. Packers vs San Francisco

Green Bay's Defense may not have the big names but they get the job done and the 49ers aren't that great without Garoppolo.

Projection: 7.3 points

4. Texans vs Buffalo

Josh Allen has shown potential but he's not gonna put up big points in the near future so this is a safe choice.

Projection: 6.5 points

5. Colts @ New York Jets

I know, I know the Colts defense hasn't been good at all but neither has the Jets offense nor Darnold so maybe a couple of pick 6s could be in the cards for the Colts.

Projection: 6.3 points

Ks

1. Matt Bryant vs Tampa Bay

"Old Reliable." Enough said.

Projection: 10 points

2. Stephen Gostkowski vs Kansas City

He's missed only one kick to this point and it isn't looking like he's gonna miss any more.

Projection: 9.3 points

3. Cairo Santos @ Denver

He played his first week of the season last week for the Rams and is bound to put up points after going 2/2 on FGs and 3/3 on XPs.

Projection: 8.8 points

4. Graham Gano @ Washington

He hasn't missed one and put up a monster 19 POINTS last week (4/4 FGs)

Projection: 8.2 points

5. Justin Tucker @ Tennessee

Tucker is the #1 kicker as of this week by point average and is going to capitalize on hi opportunities.

Projection: 7.9 points
