Next Week Preview

Redlegs
Redlegs (1-4) will take on Doughboys (4-1) in Week 6. Each of these teams has multiple bye weeks to worry about in Week 6, as Russell Wilson, DK Metcalf, and Latavius Murray are off for Doughboys and Jared Cook and Michael Thomas will take a seat for Redlegs. Over the last three weeks, Redlegs have put up 123.15 points per game, while Doughboys have averaged 166.67 per contest.
Cocks
The outlook doesn't immediately get much brighter for ninth-place Cocks, as they now get the distinct privilege of facing undefeated Negligent Discharges next week. Cocks might need to shuffle the deck a bit with the New Orleans Saints defense out on bye in Week 6. Negligent Discharges won't have Derek Carr, David Moore, or Bryan Edwards.
