Next Week Preview

Kareem & Sugar
Kareem & Sugar (3-2) will take on Priest Holmes (0-5) in Week 6. Kareem & Sugar might need to shuffle the deck a bit with Drew Brees and Marvin Jones Jr. out on bye next week. Priest Holmes won't have Mark Ingram. Over the last three weeks, Kareem & Sugar have put up 115.38 points per game, while Priest Holmes have averaged 98.23 per contest.
Good Toast
A pair of teams with matching 3-2 records, second-place Good Toast are set to face seventh-place Fitz Happens next week. Good Toast has three players on bye next week, but the absence of Alvin Kamara will obviously sting. Fitz Happens will be without Kenny Golladay.
