College Fantasy Football: Get ready for Week 5 with our primer

Week 4 saw significant changes to the college fantasy football landscape due to injuries and shifts in depth charts. This week's primer provides key topics to consider when setting your Week 5 lineups. Keelon Russell has evolved from a promising freshman to a Heisman contender, throwing for 365 yards and four touchdowns against South Carolina and 234 yards and four scores against Kentucky.

Alabama's talented skill players, led by Russell, have been averaging 9.5 yards per dropback. Lincoln Kienholz, formerly a struggling receiver, has stepped up as a quarterback, averaging 8.1 yards per dropback and recording four consecutive games with at least 25 fantasy points. However, he is considered a game-time decision for the upcoming NC State match.

Mississippi State's Fluff Bothwell has had three consecutive 100-yard games, becoming just the sixth RB to have 120+ rushing and 50+ receiving yards in one game. Mississippi State's offense, now led by rising star QB Kamario Taylor, has him as the fantasy RB12. Tennessee's DeSean Bishop had a breakout performance in Week 2, but injury and limited carries in Week 3 have caused him to become questionable.

Louisville's Isaac Brown has been disappointing this season, while Keyjuan Brown has emerged as a top option. Hughes from Oregon has failed to live up to expectations after transferring to Houston, and should be benched against UCF's strong run defense. Illinois' Katin Houser and Collin Dixon are exciting options, as Illinois is projected to accumulate 462 total yards against a weak Purdue defense.
