Fantasy football: My mother's picks for Week 5

Considering Pride Of Detroit writer Alex Reno's mother is experiencing so much fantasy success this year, I decided to tap into my own mother's fantasy knowledge to see if there's something about motherly intuition that translates to daily fantasy league profits.

Editor's Note: A new $2,000,000 one-week fantasy football league has opened on FanDuel for Week 5. First place wins $150,000 on Sunday. Join now!

Once you've conquered something, it's only natural to crave more challenging tasks. It's human nature. I think it's safe to say that I can tell you, with almost incredible certainty, who to avoid week-to-week in fantasy football -- save for Keenan Allen who is now, for more reasons than I care to get into, a sworn enemy of mine.
