Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season kicks off with an AFC matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos. The Colts traded Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders to exorcise all their demons from the end of last season. Matt Ryan was brought in and that has resulted in a 1-2-1 record and some really uninspiring football. Team owner Jim Irsay is getting restless again, and things could get really interesting, really quickly in Indy if the wins don’t start piling up.

The Denver Broncos got the QB Ron Rivera and the Washington Commanders coveted this season via trade when they traded the farm to the Seattle Seahawks for Russell Wilson. He finally had a good game for fantasy owners who didn’t bench him after 3 weeks(me) last week, and looks to continue putting up stats, and more importantly, wins for Denver in a very winnable home game.
