00:00Well, hello there! The NFL just wrapped week four, so if you can't guess, we're
00:05going to be talking about all that transpired and we're also gonna chit
00:09chat about week five. I'm Rachel Besser and this is Fantasy My Way.
00:22This week, fantasy football is finally getting poppin'. No, literally. Tom Brady is back from
00:28Deflategate. He had a four-week suspension and we can't wait to see what is about to happen.
00:33We started the season with no Romo, no Peyton, and no Brady, so it'll be great to have him back.
00:40As for my personal fantasy team, I won! One and three! One and three! One and three! I know,
00:48sounds like I shouldn't be proud of it, but I had my first win and I'm just, I'm through the
00:54mood.
00:54I won! I won! I won! I won! I won! I won!
01:01Loser has to eat three pies in one hour with chopsticks.
01:06Cathy Ratto, I am so very not sorry that you have to eat all those pies,
01:11but honestly, there's nothing like a good comeback story and for me, it is all uphill from here.
01:19I'm feeling hot off my win. I'm ready to conquer again, so let's meet my week five opponent.
01:25Get to know your R29 fantasy league owner, Daiquan Franklin. He's one of R29's support engineers in our
01:32badass IT department. His team, the Rickless Mortys, is currently two and two and looking for a win
01:39versus good, better, Besser in week five. Hey, Besser, you ready to go one and four this week?
01:44Loser gets the most embarrassing picture posted on social media. Let's go.
01:50Daiquan, I won't lie, your team looks good, but the Rickless Mortys are about to be a sinking ship
01:56this week when I am done with you. And now, can we please have a moment of silence? Because it
02:03is time
02:03for my hot and fiery tips of the week. If you went up against Matt Ryan or Julio Jones this
02:12week,
02:12you lost. Ryan threw for 503 yards and four touchdowns. While Julio Jones' non-human,
02:20record-breaking performance caught everyone's attention, it's Matt Ryan who we're focusing on
02:25here. You're going to want to start him for sure. I know this feels crazy to say, especially with such
02:30a rough season in 2015, but Seattle's tight end Jimmy Graham is somebody to start. With back-to-back
02:37great games, Graham is starting to look like a legit part of the Seattle offense. And after this Sunday,
02:43Michael Crabtree might have just taken over the number one wide receiver spot for Oakland.
02:48Crabtree has had two solid back-to-back games and his fantasy points keep increasing.
02:56Houston wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins needs to take a seat. He put up a big fat zero fantasy points
03:03and is being outshined by rookie Will Fuller. I really hope he puts up more points next week,
03:09but I'm not chancing it, so sit him. Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate.
03:15For the fourth consecutive week, he has received less than four fantasy points,
03:21and he was benched in the third quarter because of a miscommunication. Do I need to say more?
03:26Sit him. And sadly, I'm tempted to say drop him. And lastly, we need to discuss Tennessee's Marcus
03:32Mariota. With five interceptions and four touchdown passes in the past three starts, it's time to sit
03:38him. Sure, he has talent, we all know that, but until his turnover to touchdown ratio flips the other way,
03:43he is not your QB1.
03:47Baltimore's running back Terrence West looked like a must-add on Sunday. He had 21 catches for 113 yards
03:55and one touchdown versus the Raiders defense. He's only owned by approximately 51% of leagues,
04:01so I say pick him up. My next pickup is going to be Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch.
04:08When starting quarterback Trevor Simeon was taken off the field Sunday, Lynch came out slanging. He threw for
04:15170 yards and one touchdown. Coaches say they won't have a diagnosis on Simeon until the end of the week,
04:21but if he's out, this could be Lynch's time to shine. And the last pickup to pay attention to is
04:27Baltimore's Kenneth Dixon. Dixon is reported to be back this week after dealing with a torn MCL.
04:33The Ravens will put him in the mix for carries. He's only owned by about 25% of league owners,
04:39so if he's available in your league, pick him up. It will pay off in the long run.
04:43Those were my hot tips for week five, and if you have any questions going into week six,
04:48please leave a comment in the section below. Let's all grab those wins. How about it? I will see you
04:54next time.
