Fantasy football cheat sheet for Week 5

Four weeks into the season, the NFL is down to one undefeated team (the Chiefs), while four teams remain winless (the Browns, 49ers, Giants, and Chargers). The winless teams are an interesting mix — the Browns and 49ers are more or less doing what the world expected, while the Giants and Chargers were considered, if not playoff teams, at least playoff contenders to start the year.

In short, that highlights the fantasy season so far this year. Some things have gone as expected, some have come out of nowhere. That's why, heading into Week 5, you need our weekly cheat sheet, full of all the advice from our team of experts who track every stat, every change, every new development.
