Jamey Eisenberg's Week 5 Fantasy football sleepers and DFS picks: Roman Wilson poised for breakout vs. Colts

Roman Wilson leads Jamey Eisenberg's Week 5 sleepers, while Aaron Rodgers and Keaton Mitchell offer intriguing DFS value Oct 9, 2026 at 5:42 pm ET • 3 min read Roman Wilson was already establishing himself as the No. 2 receiver in Pittsburgh behind DK Metcalf, and then Michael Pittman injured his foot in Week 4 and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Wilson is now in a great spot heading into Week 5 against the Colts, and he should be considered a sleeper in all leagues. Wilson has six targets in every game this season, and he's hot coming into this matchup against Indianapolis. He has six catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns in his past two games against Cincinnati and Cleveland, and he has scored at least 15 PPR points in each outing. The Colts have allowed four receivers to score at least 12.3 PPR points this season, and Metcalf and Wilson should be peppered with targets from Aaron Rodgers. I like Metcalf as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 5, and Wilson should be considered a high-end No. 3 receiver. Wilson was only rostered in 57 percent of leagues on CBS Sports as of Friday afternoon, and he should be added in all formats. He could be a potential Fantasy starter over the next few weeks while Pittman is out. Week 5 Sleepers Defense/Special TeamsBengals (at MIA) Browns (at NYJ) Bears (vs. GB)KickerChris Boswell (vs. IND) Cameron Dicker (vs. DEN) Spencer Shrader (at PIT)DFS Lineups for Week 4FanDuelQB: Jacoby Brissett (vs. DET) $6,800 RB: Chase Brown (at MIA) $8,000 RB: Aaron Jones (at NO) $6,200 WR: Nico Collins (at TEN) $7,800 WR: Jaylen Waddle (at LAC) $6,600 WR: Jameson Williams (at ARI) $6,500 TE: Trey McBride (vs. DET) $7,200 FLEX: Jaylen Warren (vs. IND) $6,700 DEF: Browns (at NYJ) $3,900The Lions are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks and tight ends, so it makes sense to stack Brissett and McBride in this lineup. I'll counter that stack with Williams, who just had his best game of the season in Week 4 at Carolina with six catches for 102 yards on eight targets. Collins has played two games this season, and he has combined for 14 catches for 193 yards and three touchdowns on 18 targets over that span. He also has three touchdowns in his past four games against the Titans. I'm also hopeful Waddle will have a breakout game at the Chargers now that Sean Payton is calling plays again for the Broncos. Brown should dominate the Dolphins, who are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. And the same goes for Jones against the Saints, who are No. 1. I also still trust Warren against the Colts even if Rico Dowdle (toe) plays in Week 5. DraftKingsQB: Jared Goff (at ARI) $6,600 RB: Chase Brown (at MIA) $6,900 RB: D'Andre Swift (at GB) $6,200 WR: Justin Jefferson (at NO) $7,300 WR: Michael Wilson (vs. DET) $6,200 WR: Roman Wilson (vs. IND) $3,700 TE: Sam LaPorta (at ARI) $4,900 FLEX: Colston Loveland (at GB) $4,600 DST: Bengals (at MIA) $3,500 While the Lions are bad against opposing quarterbacks and tight ends, so are the Cardinals, ranking No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to both positions. I'll stack Goff with LaPorta here, and I'll play Wilson on the other side. Detroit is No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. I'm expecting Jefferson (ankle) to play in Week 5 at New Orleans after missing Week 4 at Miami, and the former LSU star should go off in this matchup. The Saints have struggled to contain Amon-Ra St. Brown, Rashod Bateman and Drake London already this season, and Jefferson should be featured by Kyler Murray. I'm also going to play Wilson in this lineup, and his price is fantastic given his upside. I'll use Brown in this lineup also with his matchup against the Dolphins, and Swift should be fantastic against the Packers, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Kyle Monangai (toe) is out for Chicago, which only enhances the value for Swift in Week 5. Finally, I'm going to trust Loveland against Green Bay. He came alive last week against the Jets following a slow start with six catches for 57 yards on nine targets, and he dominated the Packers in two of three meetings in 2025.
