Welcome to Week 5! This is Spade or Fade for Daily Fantasy. We examine two players that we are endorsing as good plays to include in your lineup. We also give you two players that should be bypassed in favor of a player that has a better matchup for the week. (All player prices are DraftKing prices)
SPADE
Derek Carr QB OAK
FADE
Tyreek Hill WR KC
The Kansas City Chiefs are the most exciting team in football. They feature an explosive offense that likes to stretch the field. To date, they haven’t met their match with wins against weak defenses in the Chargers, Steelers, 9ERS and to a lesser extent, most recently, Broncos. The pace they are on is extremely impressive and quarterback Patrick Mahomes has yet to throw an interception. Onto Week 5, the Chiefs draw the number one ranked defense and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags secondary are unlike anything the Chiefs and super-burner wideout Tyreek Hill have seen this season. They are only giving up 164 passing yards per game. We know the Jaguars defense will be ready for this one as their reputation as the league’s top defense will be put to the test. Hill has been unleashed this season and has had no trouble carving out big plays, in this matchup, however, Hill will be covered by all-world corners Jaylen Ramsey and A.J.Bouye. $6,900 seems to be appropriate for Hill but we have to respect the elite Jags defense here. No sense of playing Hill in this spot, plenty of other great options at this price range with better matchups.
SPADE
Calvin Ridley WR ATL
FADE
Jarvis Landry WR CLE
The Baltimore Ravens defense will get even better for Week 5 with the return of corner Jimmy Smith. This was already a tough matchup for Jarvis Landry and the Cleveland Browns, now with the return of Smith, they will be in even tougher. In Week 4 Landry made only four catches on 10 targets thrown his way in the 45-42 O.T. loss to the Raiders. Landry will draw a much tougher defense, the number two ranked Ravens. At $6,800 which is where Landry is at, you can find players, (some at cheaper prices), Golden Tate, Robert Woods, Cooper Kuppa and Amari Cooper.
