Fresh off their Week 4 bye, the Carolina Panthers will host a 1-3 New York Giants team that just gave life to a previously dreadful New Orleans Saints defense. Through 3 weeks, the Saints defense had just 6 sacks and 1 turnover, but in Week 4 against the Giants, they sacked Eli Manning 3 times and forced 2 Giants turnovers on their way to a top-10 fantasy finish.

Now the Giants head on the road to face a Panthers defense that ranks as the league's ninth-best, per numberFire metrics. The Panthers have already posted 2 top-10 weekly fantasy finishes and should be in good position to post another solid score against a struggling New York offensive line. The Giants have allowed the 5th-most sacks (15) on the season and 3 of their 4 opponents have come away with top-7 weekly fantasy finishes -- the lone exception being the Houston Texans in Week 3.

The Panthers are a 7.0-point home favorite in Week 5, the 2nd-largest spread on the week, and are a great streaming option against a disappointing Giants offense.
