Summary
Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are back for a new edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast to preview every game on the Week 5 slate! The hosts discuss recent fantasy headlines, starting with the news that Christian McCaffrey attended Carolina Panthers practice today. Justin Fields will be the Chicago Bears starting quarterback going forward, Bears running back David Montgomery will miss a few weeks, Kyle Shanahan thinks San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo might play on Sunday, and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with a hip injury but still plans to play against the Denver Broncos. Next, Marcas and Michael look at three big questions for Week 5, covering wide receivers Allen Robinson, Calvin Ridley, and CeeDee Lamb, quarterbacks Jalen Hurts, Sam Darnold, and Daniel Jones, and running backs Alvin Kamara, Jonathan Taylor, and Chris Carson. After that, the experts run through every matchup on the schedule for this weekend (minus the Monday Night game), and finally, we wrap up the show with some sleepers for Week 5.
