What a great week of football. Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less. 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 are the Week 5 streamers.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Week 5 Streamers<\/b><\/h3>\n

          Quarterback \u2013 C.J. Stroud (HOU – 47%) @ ATL<\/b><\/h3>\n

          That makes three great games for C.J. Stroud if you\u2019re counting at home. In that span, he\u2019s scored at least 20 fantasy points in all three and is averaging 23.3 fantasy points per game. Stroud has thrown at least 280 yards and two scores in all three without an interception. Those are great numbers for any quarterback, let alone a guy making his second, third, and fourth start in the NFL. He certainly looks like the real deal right now. <\/span><\/p>\n

          Stroud is currently on pace for 5,151 passing yards which would shatter Andrew Luck\u2019s rookie record of 4,374. It\u2019s hard not to be impressed with the rookie out of Ohio State. This week he gets a nice matchup against the <\/span>Atlanta Falcons<\/span><\/a>. Atlanta is a mediocre secondary and defense in general so Stroud should be able to keep the good times going. They will be playing in a dome which is a nice boost to passing offenses as well and the <\/span>Houston Texans<\/span><\/a> have shown the willingness to let him drop back to pass early and often. Stroud is not only one of the best Week 5 streamers out there, but also a guy to grab and hold onto long-term to see if he can continue what he\u2019s been doing.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n

          C.J. Stroud through four games: 94-of-151, 1,212 passing yards, 6 TD, 0 INT.<\/p>\n

          That\u2019s the second-most passing yards by a QB through 4 starts in NFL history.<\/p>\n

          And the third-longest streak without an interception to begin a career in NFL history.<\/p>\n
