Week 5 fantasy decisions center on a London-bound Browns, a banged-up Vikings OL, and a slate of versatile pass-cunters. Dillon Gabriel starts in London with mobility that could lift the offense, while Carson Wentz offers low-end Superflex upside against a stout Browns front. Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson present ceiling plays, but Cleveland’s line injuries temper expectations. Quinshon Judkins and Jordan Mason should gain sizable workload; David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, and Adam Thielen remain viable depending on matchup and format. The enhanced Who Should I Start tool guides up to four-player comparisons with scoring format, news, and bye weeks in mind.

Bryce Young isn’t the bust; the Panthers are. A 42-13 loss to New England exposed a fragile offense: weak protection and a thin receiving corps limit Young’s timing-based game.

The receiving group is aging or inexperienced, driving Carolina toward a safe, short-pitch passing attack and stripping Young of the edge that made him special. A culture of mistrust and a conservative call sheet compound the problem, leaving analysts to question whether this is a coaching failure as much as a roster one.

Analytically, Young is efficient on the throws he can make, but air yards and explosive plays are nearly non-existent due to drops and protection issues. With better weapons and more line autonomy, he could rebound; otherwise the franchise may remain stuck with a talented player trapped in a flawed system.

Carolina’s 42-13 loss to New England exposes a beleaguered offense and a shaky head coach in Canales, sending the Panthers tumbling in the early power rankings. Fantasy takeaway: Bryce Young struggles without a reliable ground game, making the offense volatile and risky. The plan for managers is to lean on established playmakers like Adam Thielen and Christian McCaffrey when the offense finds rhythm, while Burns and Clowney can still provide defensive pop. Next up is a home game vs. Miami, a potential rebound spot if Carolina stabilizes its attack.
