Fantasy Football: 5 Players You Shouldn’t Start in NFL Week 5 [Video]

Week 5 of the NFL season is officially underway, and it started with a bang. The Falcons and Buccaneers delivered a thrilling Thursday night game, with both teams trading blows and plenty of fantasy managers walking away happy.

But as the weekend approaches, not every game promises such high-scoring excitement. There are always players who disappoint, and this week, we have five you should consider leaving on the bench.

1. Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys

Prescott is up against a tough Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has been a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks this season. No quarterback has scored more than 19 fantasy points against the Steelers, and Prescott is unlikely to be the one to break that trend. Pittsburgh’s defense has been relentless, and it doesn’t seem like this will be the week for Prescott to turn things around.
