Melvin Gordon Looked Rusty In First Game Back

Philip Rivers Throws Two INTs Against Denver

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has really struggled against the Broncos over the last two seasons. For the third straight game against Denver, Rivers threw a pair of interceptions.

Harrison Butker Notches Two Field Goals in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker surprisingly produced most of their points in the loss to the Colts in Week 5.

Byron Pringle Has Huge 100 Yard Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle was forced into more playing time after Sammy Watkins (hamstring) went down during the first drive.

Royce Freeman Has Stale Week Against Chargers

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman had a fairly stale week against the Los Angeles Chargers in a road contest for the Broncos.

Eric Ebron Catches Just One Pass In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron continued to struggle in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He saw four targets on the night, but he caught just one of them for eight yards.

KeeSean Johnson Fails To Emerge

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson caught three balls for 22 yards in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Johnson is worth keeping in deeper leagues, but he's not worth owning in traditional formats.

Larry Fitzgerald Has So-So Day

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught six balls for 58 yards in the Week 5 win against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a solid day in point-per-reception leagues, but it was so-so in other formats. That's the game you play with Fitz. He'll have a midrange matchup against the Atlanta Falcons next week and […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds rushed eight times for 68 yards and a touchdown and caught three balls for 18 yards in the Week 5 win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Emmanuel Sanders Only Hauls In One Catch

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Posts Quiet Outing

It was an underwhelming afternoon for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who reeled in just one reception for 18 yards during the team’s victory over the Cowboys.
