Throughout the NFL regular season, we'll meet here on Thursdays to break down the film from a fantasy football perspective. I'm looking for trends and tendencies on both side of the ball to give fantasy managers a jump when they set their weekly lineups.
Schemes matter. So does offensive deployment in weekly matchups. And remember, the game tape always tells us a story. Looking at the Week 5 slate, we'll start with a running back who looks pretty sharp on the tape and has a premium matchup.
We'll also highlight an ascending wide receiver with big potential before finishing with a few question marks and players to monitor when you're watching the games this weekend.
All references to fantasy scoring are for PPR leagues unless otherwise noted. Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets You can play Hall as a lower-tier RB2 this week against a subpar Broncos defense.
