Cooper Kupp's fantasy value has cooled in Seattle as age and a long injury history limit upside. Week 5 looks dicey, pushing many managers toward benching or dropping him in shallower leagues.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has surged as Seattle's top fantasy option, while Isaiah Bond in Cleveland is emerging as a viable late‑season target if Cedric Tillman remains sidelined. Houston's Stroud connection with Christian Kirk also hints at improved ancillary value in the Texans' passing attack.

Waiver priorities center on Bond and Kirk, with Dillon Gabriel and other Browns receivers in the mix. Use the Who Should I Pick Up tool to compare options and optimize Week 5 lineups and rest‑of‑season upside.

C.J. Stroud directed Houston’s offense to a decisive 26-0 win over Tennessee, riding a breakthrough moment where a pre-snap read led to a 24-yard TD to Jayden Higgins. Stroud produced 233 passing yards on 22 of 28 with two scores, aided by timely route concepts and Caley’s motion-driven play calls that kept the drive communicative and on schedule.

The sequence underscored Stroud’s growing command of the offense, his willingness to adjust on the fly, and the offense’s potential if Higgins emerges as a big-play threat while Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz provide steadier targets. If this trend continues, Houston’s fantasy-friendly mix—Stroud, Higgins, Schultz, and Collins—could stabilize and even rise against tougher defenses.
