C.J. Beathard Commits Four Turnovers In Loss

San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard completed 34 of 54 passes for 349 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 5’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Beathard added two rushes for seven yards and another score. Beathard’s stats will satisfy any fantasy owners that were bold enough to start him this week but he […]

Corey Davis Only Catches Four Passes In Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught four of only six targets for 49 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Titans passing game, and offense in general, was unable to get into a rhythm on the road against the Bills defense. Until the offense is able to produce more consistently, […]

Dion Lewis Struggles In Week 5

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis struggled to get going in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Lewis rushed 12 times for 34 yards and caught only three passes for 14 yards. Not only was Lewis held in check, but he also fumbled the ball at a crucial point in the second half. […]

Derrick Henry Rushes 11 Times for 56 Yards In Week 5

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 11 times for 56 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. This was Henry's best game on the ground so far this season, but he was still held out of the end zone for the fifth straight game. Henry' value is beginning to creep lower […]

Marcus Mariota Throws For 129 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the offense were unable to score a single touchdown in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Mariota completed 14 of 26 passes on the day for 126 yards and an interception. This was a big let down from his performance last week, although he did have a […]

Justin Tucker Has Kick Blocked For Second Time

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker had his 48-yard field goal attempt blocked as time expired in the first half against the Cleveland Browns. He didn't really have a chance as Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward came clean off the edge and got the ball, essentially before it became airborne. It was the second time this […]

Broncos DST Disappointing in Loss

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit put up negative-two fantasy points in what appeared to be a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 5 - their second-straight negative fantasy performance. The Broncos did force two turnovers on the day -- intercepting their first pass since Week 1 -- but Denver's revered pass […]

Brandon McManus Still Perfect

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus connected on a 30-yard field goal Sunday against the Jets, making him a perfect 8-for-8 on the season. The field goal marked the 100th make of his five-year career. McManus fell victim to the Broncos offensive struggles, however, finishing the day with just the one field goal while also going […]

Corey Grant Likely Done For The Season

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) likely suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the year, according to sources. Leonard Fournette was out this weekend and isn't guaranteed to return in Week 6, so Jacksonville is now incredibly thin in the […]

Kerryon Johnson Says He's Fine

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) said "I'm fine" after the Week 5 win over the Packers when he suffered an ankle injury. "If I can walk, run, if I'm standing, I always want to go back in, so that's what I'm going to do," Johnson said. The rookie finished with 70 yards […]

Cooper Kupp Leaves With Head Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (head) left the game in the third quarter of Week 5 against the Seahawks to be evaluated for a concussion. The good news for Kupp's fantasy owners is that he had six catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in the first half. The bad news is that […]

Courtland Sutton Scores First NFL Touchdown

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton got Denver on the board early in the first quarter Sunday against the Jets with an eight-yard receiving touchdown - the first of his NFL career. Sutton appeared to be in line for a nice day but went on to finish the game with just two catches, 18 yards, […]

Emmanuel Sanders Has a Solid Afternoon in Loss

Like the rest of the offense, Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was quiet for most of the afternoon in the Broncos 34-16 loss to the New York Jets. However, Sanders was able to salvage his day late as Denver faced a large second half deficit - forcing quarterback Case Keenum to attempt 51 passes […]

Brandin Cooks Being Evaluated For Concussion

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (head) was removed from the game in Week 5 against the Seahawks and is being evaluated for a concussion. Cooks caught a pass, suffered a helmet-to-helmet hit and fumbled on the play. The play was called back because of a penalty, so Cooks didn't actually record a catch […]

Demaryius Thomas Goes Over 100 Yards Sunday

For the first time in nearly a full calendar year, Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas topped 100 yards receiving Sunday in the Broncos Week 5 loss to the New York Jets. Thomas brought in five of six targets on the day for 105 yards and even added a late 42-yard touchdown for good measure. […]

Matt Breida Questionable To Return

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals after suffering an ankle injury. The good news for fantasy owners is that Breida had eight carries for 56 yards and a five-yard touchdown catch before leaving. If he's forced to miss time […]

Packers Defense Faced Difficult Task in Week 5

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams had a weak performance in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. They surrendered 31 points in the game with three sacks and no turnovers forced. Key pass rusher Nick Perry was also hurt in the game. It wasn’t necessarily a bad performance. The defense was put in […]

Phillip Lindsay Remains Productive in Week 5

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay rushed 12 times for 61 yards while adding three catches for 20 yards in the Broncos 34-16 loss to the Jets Sunday. A touchdown would have been nice but Lindsay has now put up at least 75 yards from scrimmage in every game this season (excluding his ejection-shortened Week […]

Ty Montgomery Used Sparingly Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery saw very little action in Week 5. Against the Detroit Lions he had four carries for 15 yards and one catch for 23 yards. He saw most of his action at the end of the game when Green Bay was in its hurry up offense. This usage is […]

Royce Freeman Efficient but Limited in Broncos Loss

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman averaged 6.2 yards per carry Sunday afternoon against the New York Jets. Problem is, Denver trailed 21-10 at halftime and Freeman saw just one carry in the second half - finishing the day with five carries for 31 yards and adding three receptions for 16. The lack of touches […]

Aaron Jones Stifled By Coaching Staff Again In Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is averaging close to six yards a carry over his career, but he was only given a handful of touches against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL in Detroit in Week 5. Jones ran the ball seven times for 40 yards and added two catches […]

Jamaal Williams Efficient But Quiet in Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams ran the ball six times in Week 5, accumulating 33 yards. He added two catches for 19 yards receiving. This was an unusually efficient day for Williams, who tends to grind out carries for about three yards a pop. Despite this efficiency, Williams’ fantasy value is plummeting. Although […]

Ravens Defense Struggles In Loss To Browns

The Baltimore Ravens came into their game against the Cleveland Browns with a top-five defense, but they could not stop the Browns when they needed to. The Ravens permitted a season-high 416 yards, with 65 of the 118 yards they surrendered in overtime coming on the Browns final possession. Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield picked apart […]

Matt Breida Exits With Leg Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida left Week 5’s game with a leg injury. He’s officially questionable to return. Breida possibly aggravated a lingering knee injury that’s cost him practice time over the past couple weeks and was assisted off the field. He had compiled 61 yards and a touchdown on nine touches prior […]

Danny Amendola Catches Three Passes In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola turned in another low-output week in the Dolphins 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. Amendola caught three passes for 30 yards on four targets. This offense can hardly sustain even one valuable fantasy receiver and with Amendola clearly third on the depth chart behind Kenny Stills and […]

Matt Bryant Has A Middling Fantasy Performance

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had a so-so fantasy performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Bryant kicked one field goal and added two extra points in the Falcons loss. The Falcons offensive struggles in this game did not help Bryant. However, given the amount of kicks missed this season, Bryant has at least been […]

Albert Wilson Hauls In Five Catches In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson caught five passes in the Dolphins 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. He gained 43 yards on those five receptions and was target six times. Wilson was the leader in catches, targets, and receiving yards by a wide receiver this season but all of those numbers were […]

Aaron Rodgers Racks Up Stats in Disappointing Performance

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had an excellent day from a statistical perspective in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. He threw for three touchdowns and 442 yards on 32-for-52 passing with no interceptions. Rodgers had a rough first half where he struggled with his accuracy and lost two fumbles. With Detroit way out […]

Austin Hooper Has Good Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was Matt Ryan's main target against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Hooper's big day is both a surprise and not a surprise in some ways. On one had the Steelers have been one of the worst teams against tight ends this season. However, Hooper has had a quiet couple […]

Kenny Stills Turns In A Dud In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was practically absent in the Dolphins' 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. He caught just two passes for 17 yards on five targets. Stills was certainly on the "bust" end of his boom-or-bust outcomes. His volatility is exacerbated by the poor play of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, because […]
