Week 5 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Expert Advice from Around the Web

As a team, the Cleveland Browns are in a tough spot. Cleveland has pivoted to rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel for a battle with the Minnesota Vikings in London.

The Vikings, for the record, have been overseas since last week, when they played the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland. Minnesota has also been stout defensively, more often than not, and ranks seventh in total yards allowed.

However, Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins should be trusted this week. Minnesota’s defense has been somewhat vulnerable to opposing backs—it has allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to the position—and Judkins is an explosive, high-volume runner.

“Judkins should have another strong outing this week against a Vikings defense that has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards per game, the 13th-highest explosive run rate, and the seventh-most yards before contact per attempt,” Derek Brown of FantasyPros wrote.

Managers may be wary of Gabriel’s ability to keep the defense honest, but Cleveland didn’t get much out of Joe Flacco, and Judkins still delivered.
