Jamey Eisenberg’s Week 5 Fantasy football sleepers and DFS picks: Roman Wilson poised for breakout vs. Colts

Roman Wilson was currently developing himself as the No. 2 receiver in Pittsburgh behind DK Metcalf, and after that Michael Pittman hurt his foot in Week 4 and is anticipated to miss out on numerous weeks. Wilson is now in a terrific area heading into Week 5 versus the Colts, and he must be thought about a sleeper in all leagues.

Wilson has 6 targets in every video game this season, and he’s hot entering this match versus Indianapolis. He has 6 catches for 134 backyards and 2 goals in his previous 2 video games versus Cincinnati and Cleveland, and he has actually scored a minimum of 15 PPR points in each getaway.

The Colts have actually permitted 4 receivers to score a minimum of 12.3 PPR points this season, and Metcalf and Wilson need to be peppered with targets from Aaron Rodgers. I like Metcalf as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 5, and Wilson ought to be thought about a high-end No. 3 receiver.

Wilson was just rostered in 57 percent of leagues on CBS Sports since Friday afternoon, and he must be included all formats. He might be a prospective Fantasy starter over the next couple of weeks while Pittman is out.

The Lions are No. 1 in a lot of Fantasy points permitted to opposing quarterbacks and tight ends, so it makes good sense to stack Brissett and McBride in this lineup. I’ll counter that stack with Williams, who simply had his finest video game of the season in Week 4 at Carolina with 6 catches for 102 backyards on 8 targets.

Collins has actually played 2 video games this season, and he has actually integrated for 14 catches for 193 backyards and 3 goals on 18 targets over that period. He likewise has 3 goals in his previous 4 video games versus the Titans. I’m likewise confident Waddle will have a breakout video game at the Chargers now that Sean Payton is calling plays once again for the Broncos.

Brown needs to control the Dolphins, who are No. 2 in many Fantasy points permitted to opposing running backs. And the very same chooses Jones versus the Saints, who are No. 1. I likewise still trust Warren versus the Colts even if Rico Dowdle (toe) plays in Week 5.

QB: Jared Goff (at ARI) $6,600
RB: Chase Brown (at MIA) $6,900
RB: D’Andre Swift (at GB) $6,200
WR: Justin Jefferson (at NO) $7,300
WR: Michael Wilson (vs. DET) $6,200
WR: Roman Wilson (vs. IND) $3,700
TE: Sam LaPorta (at ARI) $4,900
FLEX: Colston Loveland (at GB) $4,600
DST: Bengals (at MIA) $3,500

While the Lions are bad versus opposing quarterbacks and tight ends, so are the Cardinals, ranking No. 4 in the majority of Fantasy points permitted to both positions. I’ll stack Goff with LaPorta here, and I’ll play Wilson on the other side. Detroit is No. 2 in many Fantasy points enabled to opposing receivers.

I’m anticipating Jefferson (ankle) to play in Week 5 at New Orleans after missing out on Week 4 at Miami, and the previous LSU star ought to go off in this match. The Saints have actually struggled to include Amon-Ra St. Brown, Rashod Bateman and Drake London currently this season, and Jefferson needs to be included by Kyler Murray. I’m likewise going to play Wilson in this lineup, and his cost is great provided his benefit.

I’ll utilize Brown in this lineup likewise with his match versus the Dolphins, and Swift needs to be wonderful versus the Packers, who are No. 3 in the majority of Fantasy points enabled to opposing running backs. Kyle Monangai (toe) is out for Chicago, which just improves the worth for Swift in Week 5.

I’m going to rely on Loveland versus Green Bay. He came alive recently versus the Jets following a sluggish start with 6 catches for 57 backyards on 9 targets, and he controlled the Packers in 2 of 3 conferences in 2025.
