Fantasy Football picks: Week 5 SNF Colts vs. Chiefs

Fantasy Football picks: Week 5 SNF Colts vs. Chiefs

Jack Doyle – Doyle has been leading the snap count at the tight-end position for Indy at 70% on the year. While that has not translated into a bigger share of the targets, until just last week where he got eight total targets, scoring his first touchdown. Eric Ebron will always remain a threat to steal red-zone targets and snaps for Doyle, but Jack is the better overall player. Kansas City gives up the fourth-most points to the tight-end position, and there should be plenty of scoring chances for Doyle.

Jordan Wilkins – Wilkins is only in play if Marlon Mack sits out. Many people will flock to Hines, who is an okay play, but Wilkins would see the majority of the rushing workload, as Hines is primarily a pass catcher. The Chiefs give up the ninth most points to the running back position, and Wilkins has proven that he is more than capable of handling a starter’s workload. The ownership should be low on him, and he has some solid upside for the price tag, only if Mack sits.

Harrison Butker – The Chiefs really found something special two years ago when Butker joined the team. He has been lights out to begin the season, missing only one field goal, in his nine attempts, and hitting all of his extra-point attempts. That is such an underrated stat when talking about kickers because most kickers have been struggling to hit extra-point attempts. Butker has scored ten or more points in three of the four games, and kicking for this high powered offense boosts his upside, making him a must-play in cash games for this slate.
