Overview
- Spencer Shrader is a consensus start after double-digit outputs through four games and a 13.5-point average, with Las Vegas allowing the third-most fantasy points to kickers and 12 field-goal attempts.
- Brandon Aubrey is labeled a must-start and is tied with the Jets’ Nick Folk for the league lead with four made field goals from 50 yards or longer.
- Daniel Carlson is widely advised to sit given just nine total fantasy points over his last two games and a Colts defense holding kickers to 5.6 points per game and one field goal per contest.
- Additional viable starts cited for Week 5 include Cameron Dicker, Matt Prater, Jake Bates, Joshua Karty, and Chad Ryland based on favorable usage and opponent tendencies.
- Bye-week reminders: the Bears, Falcons, Packers, and Steelers are off, leaving Chris Boswell, Brandon McManus, Parker Romo, and Cairo Santos unavailable.
