Summary

Join the Dynasty Nerds podcast for our Week 5 breakdown of fantasy football risers and fallers! Garret and Jagger dive into dynasty rankings, injury updates, and performances that could reshape your roster. Drake Maye’s dynamic play against the Bills signals a potential top-tier Superflex asset, while Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s breakout 27-point game for the Commanders makes him a must-watch. We also highlight tight end surprises like Darren Waller, averaging 18.3 points, and Dalton Kincaid, climbing into the top-six tight end conversation.
