Mid-week(ish) update: Week 5 player rankings and key injuries to track
An update on the latest injuries that could affect your lineup decisions this week, and my initial player rankings.
Hey folks,
Apologies for this coming later than normal. This is partly due to a new tool I've been working on that I’ll share tomorrow. It’ll make DFS players happy, and I’ll leave it there for now! More soon.
Best,
Justin
