Welcome to Week 5 of the NFL season, which is always my favorite week because it's when I finally come to grips with the fact that my Fantasy team is absolutely horrible. I only do four leagues every year and the one where I ALWAYS do the worst is my work league here at CBS Sports. I always get the worst draft slot and I always end up with the worst team and even if my team is somehow good, it doesn't. matter, because everyone is eventually going to get injured.
For instance, I have Saquon Barkley on my team this year, and he's already injured. In 2024, I had Christian McCaffrey. Last season, I had Brock Purdy.
If I draft a player in my fantasy league, there's an 89% chance he's going to get hurt. If any NFL players are reading, I will accept money next year NOT to draft you. That way, you don't have to worry about getting injured.
By the way, if anyone in my league is reading, Barkley is officially on the trade block and I will take anything for him. I'm thinking Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson for Barkley straight up. Please let me know if you're interested.
Anyway, the only thing I'm interested in right now is getting to the Week 5 picks, so let's do it. Actually, before we get to the picks, here's a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every CBSSports.com NFL expert by clicking here, but you don't need to click over this week, because we have more important things to go over right now, like why you should .com. Based on my unscientific research, I've found that roughly 52.3% of the people who read this picks column wish they could get an email from me twice a week.
I write the Pick Six NFL newsletter here at CBS Sports and it comes out twice a week (Monday and Thursday). If you want it sent to your inbox, all you have to do is click here and subscribe. Once you sign up, you'll immediately start getting the newsletter where I'll be touching on every NFL-related topic I can think of and even ones that I can't think of.
