Fantasy Football: Melvin Gordon, Delanie Walker Among Risky Plays in Week 5

If you drafted wisely and have a strong bench you will likely face lineup decisions on a weekly basis. Those decisions can often make or break fantasy seasons. For example, owners who started Jameis Winston over Deshaun Watson or Dak Prescott may have won their fantasy matchup because of it in Week 4. However, if you decided to play Odell Beckham Jr. or JuJu Smith-Schuster over Robert Woods, the decision may have cost you a victory. It’s small lineup decisions like those that can leave fantasy owners saying the dreaded words “my bench outscored my starters.”

Well in order for that not to happen, it’s vital to be aware of players drawing tough matchups who pose a significant risk to your fantasy success.
