Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Bryan Edwards had two receptions on five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Henry Ruggs III Has Three Catches In Week 5 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III caught 3-of-3 passes for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Eric Ebron Catches Two Balls In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron caught both of his targets for 10 yards in a 27-19 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5.

Hunter Renfrow TD Streak Snapped In Week 5 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow caught 6-of-8 passes for 56 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had 15 carries for 48 yards with his team's only touchdown in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Darren Waller Logs 45 Yards In Week 5 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller caught four passes on eight targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 22-of-35 passes for 206 with one interception and no touchdowns in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Adam Thielen Disappears Against Detroit

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen disappeared on Sunday, finishing with only two catches for 40 yards during the win over the Lions.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense turned in a solid effort in a 27-19 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5. Pittsburgh sacked Teddy Bridgewater twice and intercepted him once on the way to the win.

Justin Jefferson Leads The Way Against Lions

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson led his team in receiving in Week 5, finishing with seven catches for 124 yards during the last-second victory over the Detroit Lions.

Panthers Defense Delivers Strong Performance

The Carolina Panthers defense put together a strong game in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The day could have been even better for the Panthers had they landed on the football after it sailed […]

Elijah Moore Held Without A Catch

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) was already a risky fantasy option heading into Week 5. He was able to get in full practice towards the end of the week, but was sidelined earlier due to a concussion. Nonetheless, Moore did suit up versus the Atlanta Falcons. Although, he was held without a […]

Jamison Crowder Posts Dud In Week 5

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder was solid during his season debut last week. Sadly, he wasn't able to match that performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5.

Chase Claypool Finds The End Zone In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool turned in a big game in a 27-19 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5.

Corey Davis Is Inefficient Versus Falcons

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis put together his best game of the season in Week 4. Sadly, he was not able to carry that momentum into the Week 5 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Davis hauled in four of his seven targets for 45 yards in the loss. Those seven targets were a […]

Alexander Mattison Fills In Admirably On Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison filled in admirably for the injured Dalvin Cook (ankle) during Sunday's narrow win over the Lions. The 23-year-old was all over the place in Week 5, compiling 113 yards off 25 carries. He also caught seven passes for 40 yards, with one of those receptions resulting in a trip […]

Tommy Tremble Finds The End Zone Sunday

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. Tremble got loose in the red zone, connecting on a five-yard score with Sam Darnold. The talented rookie has an opportunity to snatch the starting tight end job away from Ian Thomas- who saw five […]

Ian Thomas Totals Season-High 40 Yards

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas posted a season-high 40 yards in Sunday's defeat to the Eagles. Thomas had just 39 receiving yards through the first four weeks of the season but eclipsed that total in one game Sunday, averaging a solid 10 yards per reception. The 25-year-old unfortunately had to watch as Tommy Tremble […]

Daniel Jones Out For The Remainder Of Week 5

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys. The 24-year-old took a nasty shot inside the red zone during the divisional showdown, and he was subsequently assisted back to the locker room.

Terrace Marshall Jr. Catches Just Two Passes

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. caught just two of three targets for 14 yards in a 21-18 loss to the Eagles. Marshall had an opportunity to produce with D.J. Moore struggling against the coverage of Darius Slay, though he failed to make an impact on the box score. With just six targets over […]

Kenny Golladay Out For The Remainder Of Week 5

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys. It isn't good news for the team, mainly since Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Daniel Jones (concussion) both sustained injuries as well during the game. Darius Slayton (hamstring) and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) also […]

Robby Anderson Sees Seven Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson caught just two passes for 30 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Anderson's seven targets tied for the team lead, giving him 18 over the last two weeks, an encouraging development after the team vowed to get him more involved. Still, he'll need to be more productive to […]

Eagles Defense Has An Excellent Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles defense had an excellent Week 5 in a win against the Carolina Panthers. The Eagles, who had struggled on defense most of the season, allowed only 16 points and recorded three interceptions and three sacks. It was easily the best performance of the season for the Eagles on defense, scoring 14 fantasy […]

Ty Johnson Finds The End Zone In Week 5

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has been off to a slow start this season, but picked it up a bit in Week 5. He rushed four times for 12 yards and one touchdown during the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Johnson also added two receptions for 22 yards, which is decent considering he […]

Kirk Cousins Plays Well Enough In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 275 yards and a touchdown on 25-for-34 passing during the win over the Lions on Sunday afternoon. He also threw a pick.
