Cooper Kupp Is Average In Week 5
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp didn't quite get into the end zone in Week 5, and he finished with an average fantasy performance against the Washington Football Team.

Curtis Samuel Contributes In Rushing And Passing Game
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel finished Week 5 with five receptions for 36 yards on five targets along with four carries for 28 yards.

Robert Woods Scores A Touchdown In Week 5
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods didn't lead the team in touches in Week 5, but he did lead the team's pass-catchers in fantasy points at the end of the day against the Washington Football Team. He caught four of his five targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. Fifty six of his 71 […]

D.J. Moore Goes For 93 Yards
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore got four receptions for 93 yards and a score on five targets in the Week 5 win over Atlanta.

Robby Anderson Has Another 100-Yard Game
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson paced the team in Week 5 with eight receptions for 112 yards on 13 targets. This was Anderson's third 100-yard game with Carolina and he missed a fourth one by only one yard. The WR is emerging as the top target for Teddy Bridgewater and has now shown enough […]

Falcons Defense Has Quiet Game Against Carolina
The Atlanta Falcons Defense didn't do much for fantasy purposes in a Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

The unit failed to register a sack or interception, with their lone statistical contribution coming […]

Teddy Bridgewater Posts 313 Yards
Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed Week 5 going 27-for-37 with 313 yards and two touchdowns. It was a productive day for the QB against a depleted Falcons Defense and it was his second 300-yard game of the season.

Younghoe Koo Returns With Strong Game
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo returned from injury and enjoyed a strong game in a Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Koo made all three field-goal attempts, including a long of 54 yards, and made his lone extra-point attempt of the game. The 26-year-old has made at least two field-goals in every game this […]

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense struggled again in a Week 5 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The allowed 38 points while recording one sack and one fumble recovery.

Gerald Everett Flashes Upside In Week 5
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett had been viewed as the backup to teammate Tyler Higbee to start the season, but he flashed some serious potential against the Washington Football Team in Week 5. He caught all four of his targets for 90 yards on the day, and he was a big play waiting […]

Hayden Hurst Finishes Second On Team In Targets
Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught two of six targets for eight receiving yards in a 23-16 loss to the Panthers. Hurst was disappointing, as he failed to make any real impact in this game, despite the opportunities given to him. The 27-year-old hasn't been the every-week starting option he was hoped to be, […]

Zach Ertz Gains A Total Of Six Yards In Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz had another extremely disappointing game in Week 5, catching just one pass for six yards. That's it.

John Hightower Catches Two Balls In Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower was targeted six times in Week 5, making two catches for 18 yards. Hightower was expected to take on a larger role this week, and he did in terms of targets. He came into the game with a high of four targets and a season-total of nine, so […]

Richard Rodgers Catches One Pass In Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers made one catch in Week 5, gaining 18 yards.

Olamide Zaccheaus Catches Just One Pass
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had a quiet day in a 23-16 Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Zaccheaus saw four targets, but hauled in just one catch in a disappointing game.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward caught four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in a Week 5 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ward was targeted five times.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Appears In A Week 5 Box Score
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught his only target in a Week 5 loss, gaining 37 yards. Arcega-Whiteside has barely been good enough able to play football this year, as he was inactive in Week 4 and saw two targets in Weeks 1 through 3 combined. All of this is despite the Eagles having […]

Russell Gage Disappoints In Week 5 Loss
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage was third on the team in targets in Week 5 with five, but turned them into just two catches for 16 receiving yards.

Solid Week 5 Performance By Randall Cobb
Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb had a solid performance in the team's Week 5 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, catching all six of his targets for 47 yards. Cobb's role moving forward seems to be as the team's short yardage passing weapon, and while that won't lead to huge numbers, it does put Cobb […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham had a huge game in Week 5, catching 10 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown.

Darren Fells Finds End Zone In Week 5
Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught two passes for 57 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 5 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Travis Kelce Records 8 Grabs
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce led the team with eight catches for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Kelce was coming off of a poor performance from his standards in Week 4, but more than made up for it in Week 5. Kelce along with wide […]

Cardinals Defense Holds Jets To 10 Points
The Cardinals Defense held up strong against the New York Jets in Week 5. The Cardinals allowed just 10 points and 285 yards from scrimmage in the game.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella had a quiet game in Week 5. He caught just two of his three targets for 30 yards. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray threw for a career-high 380 yards in the game, but most of the yards went to DeAndre Hopkins (131) and Christian Kirk (78). As long as the […]

Calvin Ridley Eclipses 100 Yards For Fourth Time
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley bounced back in a big way from last week's catch-less game. Ridley was said to be "up to full speed" after dealing with nagging injuries and he sure looked like it, hauling in eight of 10 targets for a game-high 136 receiving yards. Aside from his Week 4 goose […]

Will Fuller V Catches Touchdown In Week 5
Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V caught four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fuller was targeted eight times, second-most on the team. It appears Houston's offense is opening up some, which is good news moving forward for Fuller, even if his yardage total isn't quite […]

Larry Fitzgerald Catches Four Passes In Week 5
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught four of his seven targets for 35 yards in Week 5 against the New York Jets. Fitzgerald had just three catches for four yards over the past two weeks combined, so even though this week's outing was disappointing, it was still an improvement over recent games. Fitzgerald tied […]
