The bye weeks are officially here!

Sure, only two teams are sitting out this week — Kansas City and Carolina — but that still means some BIG fantasy names could be missing from your lineup. Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker III, Travis Kelce, Bryce Young, Tetairoa McMillan, Chuba Hubbard and more could leave fantasy managers scrambling for answers.

And when you add in all the injuries that have already piled up through the first month of the season, setting a competitive Week 5 lineup might be easier said than done!

That's where Dwain & Mike come in.

This week, the guys deep-dive into the waiver pool looking for those hidden gems who could help fill the gaps and keep your roster moving in the right direction.

They'll also break down some of Week 5's biggest matchups from a Fantasy Football perspective, identifying players and situations that could have a major impact on your lineup.

PLUS, it's time for a brand-new segment — "Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down!" Dwain and Mike are put on the spot as they give their verdicts on several players who haven't exactly lived up to expectations so far. Are they worth hanging onto... or is it time to move on?

And, of course, don't miss Dwain's "Robert's Ice COOL Player of the Week" and Mike's "Mike Ellis Plumbing CRAPPY Player of the Week!"

The bye weeks are here. The injuries are mounting. The waiver wire is calling.

LET'S DO THIS! It's Week 5 of NEXT LEVEL FANTASY — helping YOU take your team to the NEXT LEVEL!
