Week 5 fantasy football holds strong TE intrigue. Dallas Goedert’s knee clearance puts him firmly in the TE1 mix for Philadelphia against Denver, while Taysom Hill’s PUP-by-activation status keeps him on the radar for a potential gadget-rush week for New Orleans. Darren Waller showed immediate impact in Miami with multi-score upside, Sam LaPorta draws a favorable Bengals matchup, and David Njoku’s London tilt versus Minnesota makes him a safer low-end option. The rest of the listed tight ends—Kincaid, Schultz, Johnson, Ertz, Andrews, Engram—are part of the broader Week 5 start/sit dialogue, with the RotoBaller tool guiding optimal decisions.

Overall, expect a mix of clear starters and high-variance plays. The Who Should I Start tool remains the fastest route to compare up to four players and tailor lineups to scoring formats and byes, helping managers navigate injury news, snap counts, and matchup strength in a fluid Week 5 slate.

Saints dress Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau on Sunday vs the Giants, signaling offensive reinforcements after knee injuries. Hill's exact role remains unclear as Moore guards his plan, but his gadget potential could spark a big-play floor. The Giants' run defense has been notably porous, hinting at upside for Hill and a steady target for Moreau.

Fantasy managers should monitor Hill's early touches and Moreau's target share, especially in red-zone setups. A strong showing could lift Saints pieces in DFS and season-long lineups, particularly if Hill is used as a regular runner or versatile pass catcher.

Taysom Hill revealed a 2024 knee injury was more extensive than first thought, involving ACL plus all four ligaments of the posterolateral corner. Surgeons repaired the PLC to safeguard ACL recovery, and Hill has begun practice reps as he targets a return. The update reshapes expectations for his versatile role and the Saints’ offense in 2025.

Saints vs Giants Week 5 injuries reshape fantasy values. Four Saints players are out, including Trey Palmer and Isaac Yiadom, with Chase Young and Cesar Ruiz also ruled out earlier. Several Saints are questionable, notably Foster Moreau, Taysom Hill, Trevor Penning, Juwan Johnson and Dillon Radunz, signaling a thinner target pool and more role rotation.

On the Giants side, Tyrone Tracy is doubtful and Dexter Lawrence is questionable as illness lingers. A handful of others are limited or questionable, including Jaxson Dart and Russell Wilson, which injects volatility into both offenses. Monitor inactives and practice reports closely as kickoff nears.

With Palmer sidelined, Saints TE usage and mid-range targets could spike if Moreau/Hill are limited. Giants’ depth on the defensive line and at QB could tilt opportunities toward secondary receivers and late-game contingency plans. Final rosters and game-day lineups will hinge on the Sunday injury reports.
