Like most of 2020, Week 5 is a weird one for Fantasy Football because we've had one game moved to Week 6 (Patriots-Broncos)and another still very much up in the air between the Bills and Titans, scheduled for Tuesday night. If you have players on either of those teams, be sure to have a contingency plan in place. For me, the game I'm most interested in this week from a Fantasy perspective is the Jaguars vs. Texans. I don't want to go as far as to say start everybody in this game but it's pretty close!

As we all know by now, Bill O'Brien is no longer with the Texans and I see a breakout game from Deshaun Watson coming. While there was no indication Watson and O'Brien didn't get along, I always kind of felt like Watson was capable of more than he produced in O'Brien's offense. And this is a great matchup against the Jaguars, who rank 32nd in pass defense DVOA. As a result, I love Will Fuller as a WR2 this week (play Brandin Cooks at your own dismay). Considering Joe Mixon just put up 181 total yards and three touchdowns, I like David Johnson in this spot as well.

On the other side, it seems like Gardner Minshew hit his stride in Week 4 with his main weapon D.J. Chark back in action. James Robinson has been one of the biggest surprises this season and has at least 17 touches in each game. The Texans are allowing 5.4 yards per carry to running backs and just got torched by Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison. All three of Minshew, Chark, and Robinson are must starts and Laviska Shenault is interesting as a WR3, assuming he's healthy. Like I said start nearly everybody in this game and enjoy!

Below you'll find the rest of my thoughts on each game this week, with injuries, stats, and more on every Fantasy relevant player.
