Week #5: NFL Game Match-Up Analysis via Mastermind Moments (Preview)

Mastermind Moment:
The Rams are fairly easy to read for fantasy. You should start the following: QB Matthew Stafford (higher-end QB2 & decent streaming option for the BYE), RB Kyren Williams (low-end RB1), WR Puka Nacua (#1 WR1), and WR Davante Adams (lower-end WR1). WR Tutu Atwell and WR Jordan Whittington don't see enough targets for real fantasy consideration. Atwell had the long catch for a score last week, but only saw two targets the entire game. Avoid the rest of the WR corps. TE Tyler Higbee (hip) has yet to practice, so I'd avoid him this week. The other TEs are extremely risky, since they see limited targets and may only be good for a short score. You can do better looking elsewhere for solid fantasy production. 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) may or may not play...This is a Premium FF Mastermind Article.
