Kalif Raymond Catches Five Passes In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond caught five of his seven targets for 45 yards in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. Some fantasy managers in deep leagues probably played Raymond since Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is banged up and D.J. Chark (ankle) was out, so in PPR leagues, he provided just enough […]

Garrett Wilson Leads The Jets In Catches In Week 5

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson led the Jets in catches in a Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins. It was a low-volume passing game for the Jets, so Wilson's three catches on four targets led the team. He was able to gain 27 yards with his three grabs. Wilson started off […]

Christian Kirk Disappoints With 11 Yards In Week 5 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk brought in only one of his three targets for 11 yards in the 13-6 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 5. After being limited to two receptions for 60 yards in Week 4, Kirk was expected to bounce back this week in a favorable matchup against the Texans. […]

Gerald Everett Disappears In Week 5 Victory

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett recorded just one catch for two yards on three targets in the team's Week 5 victory against the Cleveland Browns. This was a surprising down game for Everett who has been a reliable option for Justin Herbert with Keenan Allen (hamstring) sidelined. The fantasy tight end landscape is […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Totals 18 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught just four passes for 18 yards in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. St. Brown was expected to play limited snaps because of his ankle injury, so his risk was clear for fantasy managers. Luckily, the Lions are on a bye in Week 6, so […]

Corey Davis Catches Two Passes In Week 5 Win

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis led the Jets wide receivers in yards in a Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins. With the Jets running game dominating the Dolphins defense, Jets quarterback Zach Wilson only completed 14 passes, with two of them going to Davis. He totaled 38 yards and tied for the […]

Michael Carter Scores Twice In Week 5

New York Jets running back Michael Carter scored two touchdowns in a Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Josh Reynolds Leads Lions In Targets

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught six of his 10 targets for 92 yards in the blowout loss to the New England Patriots. He was ultimately the only Lions pass-catcher who had a productive fantasy day with Amon-Ra St. Brown playing limited snaps. Reynolds has been productive this season, but it's tough to know […]

Mike Williams Tops Century Mark Again In Week 5 Win

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams tallied 10 receptions on 13 targets and racked up 134 yards in a Week 5 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Williams posted season-high totals in targets, receptions, and yardage in this one as he continues to be the favorite weapon of Justin Herbert in Keenan Allen's (hamstring) absence. […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Impresses With 114 Total Yards In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. managed to post 71 rushing yards on 10 attempts while catching three passes for 43 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans.

Breece Hall Falls Just Short Of 200 Yards In Week 5

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall had an outstanding game in a Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins. Hall ran the ball 18 times for 97 yards and a touchdown, he also caught his two targets for 100 yards. Hall's biggest play was a 79 yard catch, and he once again thoroughly […]

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. The former undrafted running back was unable to get anything going on the ground and it didn't help that the Jaguars were […]

Zach Wilson Game Manages A Week 5 Win

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 […]

Austin Ekeler Has Another Monster Performance In Week 5 Win

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler handled 16 carries for 173 yards and a touchdown and hauled in all four of his targets for 26 yards and a score in a Week 5 victory over the Cleveland Browns. This marks two consecutive weeks of multiple touchdowns for Ekeler, who was unable to find 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. Jones Jr. had been sidelined with a hamstring injury but made his NFL debut in Week 4. The Bears were able to get the ball into the speedy rookie's hands, taking a […]

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. As expected, Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson were the focal points of the team's offensive attack on Sunday, just like they have been all year. However, Osborn has still put together […]

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 […]

Justin Herbert Has Modest Showing In Narrow Victory

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. The second-year quarterback was in a perfect spot to bounce back this week following a dreadful outing in Week 4 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. In the last two weeks, Lawrence has […]

David Montgomery Returns With 82 Total Yards, One Touchdown

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. Montgomery had missed the past two games and returned with a bang, taking a screen pass for 30 yards on the […]

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. He also had two catches for 27 yards, and more importantly, he found the end zone twice. The 27-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations this season, amassing only one […]

Pat Freiermuth Ruled Out With Concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 5 versus the Buffalo Bills. He finished the day with just two catches for 12 yards. The 23-year-old will have one week to get healthy before next Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his absence, Zach Gentry […]

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, […]
