It feels like we just blinked our eyes and it\u2019s already Week 5 of the NFL season. Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less. This group of players is basically a <\/span>dream<\/span> stream team. For reference, the threshold used for wins and losses in this article will be if the quarterbacks can score at least 17 points, if the tight ends can score at least eight PPR points, and if the rest can score at least 10 PPR points. Here is the Week 5 stream team.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Week 5 Stream Team<\/b><\/h3>\n

          Quarterback \u2013 Trey Lance (SF – 30%) @ ARI<\/b><\/h3>\n

          Now here is a fun one. Trey Lance will make his starting debut this week after Jimmy Garoppolo got injured. Expect Lance\u2019s roster percentage to skyrocket and rightfully so. Admittedly, Lance didn\u2019t look great in relief duty but that doesn\u2019t matter for fantasy football purposes. He was still able to put up 20.38 fantasy points in spite of that in only a half of football. The floor and ceiling are sky-high because of his offensive weapons, the system he\u2019s in, and most importantly, his ability to use his legs. Lance had seven carries for 41 yards in the second half alone. This week\u2019s matchup is extremely enticing from a fantasy perspective. The Arizona Cardinals<\/a> are one of the best (and fastest-paced) offenses in football and are favored by 5.5 points in this one. The game total is one of the highest of the week at 50 combined points, the fourth-highest of the weekend. This game is also in a dome which helps boost passing games. All signs point to a monster fantasy game for Trey Lance. Lance makes for not only one of the best Week 5 stream team options, but also a great option for the rest of the year if he\u2019s able to keep the starting job, in spite of Kyle Shanahan\u2019s comments<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Purely a fantasy football post:<\/p>\n

          In one half, Trey Lance put up 20.38 fantasy points.<\/p>\n

          Jimmy Garoppolo has scored more than 20.38 in 7 out of 35 regular season starts with the SF 49ers.<\/p>\n
