If you have paid any attention to the NFL through 4 weeks, the one thing you know is that the Dallas Cowboys' defense has been tormented by everybody.
The lowest amount of points they allowed was in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles, where they scored 24 points. Since then, they've given up a total of 108 points over the course of the last 3 weeks.
This has, of course, led to a lot of great fantasy football performances from all different positions, with all different skill levels.
This week, the New York Jets have the privilege of taking on the Cowboys. I have 3 Jets players all ranked top 10 at their position, and 2 of them are top 5, what could go wrong?
Week 5 Fantasy Rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | D/ST | PK | Half-PPR Cheat Sheet
Justin Fields Week 5 fantasy outlook
In the last two full games Fields has started in, he's been excellent for fantasy football. He scored 29.5 points in Week 1 and finished as the QB2 overall, and then last week, he scored 27.1 fantasy points and was the QB4.
No team in the NFL allows more fantasy points per game to the QB position than Dallas at 27.4. In fact, here is a list of every QB to face the Cowboys and where they finished.
| Week 1 | Jalen Hurts | QB8 | 24.3 |
| Week 2 | Russell Wilson | QB2 | 31.3 |
| Week 3 | Caleb Williams | QB1 | 29.1 |
| Week 4 | Jordan Love | QB6 | 26.3 |
Field's floor is already so high due his his threat to run the ball. My prediction is that Fields will finish as the QB2 overall in Week 5, but at worst, he's the QB8.

Garrett Wilson Week 5 fantasy outlook
The only bad game from Garrett Wilson came against the Bills when Fields was knocked out mid-game due to a concussion. Outside of that, he's been one of the more consistent options.
Garrett Wilson is currently on pace to have his best statistical season as a Jet:

114 REC, 1321 yards, 13 TDs

Through 4 weeks, he's the WR5 overall and has had just one game where he did not score 20 fantasy points in PPR formats.
Just like the QB position, the Dallas Cowboys also allow the most fantasy points per game to opposing WRs. At a whopping 49 points per game, the next closest is 41.7.
We've seen massive performances by Malik Nabers, Romeo Doubs, and even Luther Burden III. I have Wilson as the projected WR3 for the week; he should feast on this Cowboys secondary.

Breece Hall Week 5 fantasy outlook
Outside of the clearly great matchup with the Dallas Cowboys, Breece Hall no longer has to worry about Braelon Allen taking away from his touches.
While Isaiah Davis will take some work, he's not nearly as good as Allen and will not take as much as Allen did.
Hall is coming off his second game this year with 100+ scrimmage yards; now he gets to take on the Cowboys.
Dallas is not as bad against RBs in fantasy, but it is still a favorable matchup. They allow the 6th most fantasy points to the position at 25.9 per game.
It's also not like we have not seen RBs have monster fantasy performances against Dallas. Just recently, Josh Jacobs scored 31.7 fantasy points and finished as the RB2 overall in Week 5.
I have Hall finishing as the RB9 against the Cowboys; he's by far the best receiving back that Dallas has faced thus far.
