Week 5 at Cincinnati
With Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson inactive, LaFell was the fantasy winner of the day. Playing on 100% of the snaps, LaFell seems to have taken over the #2 WR role, at least in fantasy if not in real life. I doubt many of you started LaFell last week, but if you did you enjoyed one of the lone fantasy bright spots on the Patriots Week 4 outing, as he had a season high 6-119-1 line on the day.
We are not projecting LaFell with a sudden ascension to fantasy starter status, especially as Dobson and Thompkins figure to be bigger factors in the future. In a tougher Week 5 matchup, we rank LaFell WR62 and WR67 in PPR.
