Cole Kmet Registers 45 Yards In Defeat

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet caught four passes for 45 yards in the team's 29-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 5. Kmet caught all four of his targets in this game and slowly is getting more looks in the offense. He soaked up a solid 23-yard catch in the second half but still […]

Khalil Herbert Takes A Back Seat In Week 5 Loss

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert was held to only four carries for 11 yards in the 29-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 5. With starter David Montgomery returning from injury, Herbert was relegated to his backup role in this game. The Bears offense makes an effort to get Herbert some touches throughout the […]

Jamaal Williams Held To 56 Yards

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams handled 15 touches but was held to just 56 yards and zero touchdowns. The Lions were shut out, so nearly all of the Detroit skill players were busts in Week 5. Williams' rest-of-season outlook will be affected by how quickly D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) comes back. Detroit is on […]

James Robinson Limited To 39 Total Yards In Week 5 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson was limited to 27 rushing yards on 10 attempts while he also caught two passes for 12 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans.

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson led the Jets to a 40-17 win over the Miami Dolphins. Wilson completed 14 of his 21 pass attempts for 210 yards. He did not throw a touchdown or an interception, but he ran the ball four times for a total of two yards, scoring a touchdown on the […]

Velus Jones Jr. Scores First NFL Touchdown

Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. took a pitch from quarterback Justin Fields and scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 5.

Jared Goff Shut Down In Week 5

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 19 of his 35 attempts for 229 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. His floor is clearly not as high as most thought, so he's a risky play moving forward unless the matchup is favorable for quarterbacks. That said, this […]

K.J. Osborn Finishes With 41 Yards In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught all five of his targets for 41 yards during the win over the NFC North rival Bears.

Darnell Mooney Racks Up 52 Yards In Loss

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught two passes for 52 yards in the team's 29-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 5. Mooney came down with a fantastic, one-handed catch for a 39-yard gain as the Bears mounted a furious second half comeback. Mooney would only secure two of his five targets in the […]

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 22 of 34 pass attempts for 228 yards and a touchdown, adding 13 rushing yards on five carries in a 30-28 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Trevor Lawrence Throws Two Interceptions In Week 5 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 25 of his 47 attempts for 286 yards and two interceptions during Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans.

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery returned to the lineup in Week 5 and posted 20 rushing yards with one touchdown and four receptions for 62 yards in the team's loss to the Vikings.

Justin Jefferson Has Another Solid Week

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson went crazy in the win over the Bears on Sunday, finishing with 12 catches for 154 yards. While he didn't find the end zone, PPR enthusiasts still got plenty of production out of the wideout. Jefferson disappeared in Weeks 2 and 3. However, he has now combined for 22 […]

Justin Fields Rallies But Comes Up Short

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 15-of-21 passes for 208 passing yards with one touchdown and a team-high 47 rushing yards in the team's 29-22 loss to the Vikings. Things looked bleak early as the Vikings sprinted out to a 21-3 lead, but Fields rallied to have his best game of the season. The second-year […]

Dalvin Cook Shows Up In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook finally broke out, finishing the Week 5 encounter with the Chicago Bears by running for 94 yards off 18 touches.

Rashaad Penny Carted To Locker Room, Doubtful To Return

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) was carted to the locker room during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He had his left shoe off while riding the cart, all while receiving support from teammates. The team quickly announced that he is doubtful to return. The 26-year-old rushed eight […]

Chris Olave Ruled Out Sunday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. He suffered the injury while making an impressive touchdown catch. The flashy rookie finished the day with four catches, 54 yards, and the score. If he clears concussion protocol prior to Week 6, […]

Boston Scott Inactive In Week 5

Correcting a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (rib) is inactive for Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old amassed 10 rushes, 29 yards, and one touchdown through the first two weeks. Miles Sanders is the only Eagles running back worth starting in fantasy football on Sunday.

CeeDee Lamb, Tony Pollard Officially Active Sunday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (groin) and running back Tony Pollard (illness) are both active for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams. Despite being listed as questionable, Lamb's activation for Sunday's game was widely expected. He has totaled 21 catches, 259 yards, and two touchdowns over his last three games, showing a very […]

Rondale Moore Officially Active Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) is officially active for Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been listed as questionable. The 22-year-old made his season debut last week, catching three passes for 11 yards. Despite serving as the Cardinals' No. 2 wide receiver, Moore is not worth starting in fantasy football.

Terron Armstead Downgraded To Out

Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (toe) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 5 against the New York Jets. The talented lineman initially exited the contest in the first quarter and won't return. Skylar Thompson, Miami's third-string quarterback, was thrust into action Sunday and will be without one of his top pass […]

Damien Harris Won't Return In Week 5

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. With New England facing one of the worst rushing defenses in football, Harris' absence is a tough blow. As the Patriots look to hold onto their lead in the second half, Rhamondre Stevenson […]

Marlon Mack Not Playing In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers running back Marlon Mack is a healthy scratch against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. The 26-year-old had been relegated to special teams duties so far with San Francisco. Jeff Wilson Jr. is the only Niners running back worth starting in fantasy football this week.

Laviska Shenault Jr., Rashard Higgins Inactive Sunday

Carolina Panthers wide receivers Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) and Rashard Higgins (coach's decision) are inactive for Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers. Outside of a big Week 3 from Shenault, neither player had been on the fantasy football radar. DJ Moore is still the only Panthers receiver whom you should consider starting this week.

Packers Defense Disappointing During Week 5 Loss

The Green Bay Packers defense surrendered 27 points, recorded just one sack, and forced a safety during the team's 27-22 loss to the New York Giants Sunday. The safety was a gift by the Giants at the end of the game as they attempted to bleed the clock out, stepping out of the end zone […]

Mason Crosby Nails Two Long Field Goals

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby made both of his field goals from 46 and 48 yards away, adding on two extra points, during the team's 27-22 loss to the New York Giants Sunday. The 38-year-old has attempted and made two field goals two weeks in a row after attempting only two through the first […]

Damien Harris Questionable To Return Sunday

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Detroit Lions in Week 5. Rhamondre Stevenson will operate as the lead back in his absence.
