Seahawks-Redskins to determine Week 5 matchups

Published: Oct 05, 2014 at 09:55 AM

It all comes down to Monday Night Football. Seattle is fully rested coming off of their Week 4 bye while Washington will be looking to rebound after getting blown out by the Giants last week, although its a tough road ahead. When Kirk Cousins started his first game of the season against the Eagles and threw for 427 yards and three touchdowns we all thought he was legit. And then Week 4 happened. Chances are you're not starting him against Seattle on Monday night, which is probably a wise decision. Just keep in mind that in Week 2 when Seattle came to San Diego, everyone was warned to bench their Chargers players and then Philip Rivers went off with three touchdown passes to Antonio Gates. Seattle plays differently when they don't have their home crowd behind them, so just keep that in the back of your fantasy noggin when considering your Monday night roster decisions. Now, let's get to our player-by-player breakdown.
