Fantasy Football - What We Learned, Week 5

We’ve wrapped another week in the NFL and that means it’s time to unpack everything we saw today and figure out what it means for Fantasy Football moving forward.

There was a ton of action as there always is on a full NFL Sunday and we’re here to unpack everything Fantasy Football and get you caught up to speed. There were some big name injuries that took place this week that could open up opportunity and some studs that showed up while others struggled to get it done. Let’s dive into what happened in Week 5!

Fantasy Football – What We Learned – AFC East

New England Patriots – Win vs Indianapolis Colts, 38-24

The past two weeks were the type of games that the Patriots kind of needed to soothe some fears in real life and fantasy. Tom Brady accounted for over 340 yards passing and four total touchdowns and it tends to help when you have all the passing game weapons in the fold. Julian Edelman came back from suspension and immediately saw nine targets. He’s locked into his role in the offense as long as he stays healthy and should be at least a stable WR2 in PPR leagues. Sony Michel and James White are both must start every single week even though White likely won’t see 14 targets too many more times. I’m very interested to see how many snaps Josh Gordon played and he did draw four targets. He could bring a different dimension to the New England offense but it’s also hard to trust him for fantasy. The offense could be loaded with options, including Rob Gronkowski. New England looks a whole lot more dangerous than they did two weeks ago.

New York Jets – Win vs Denver Broncos, 34-16

What….what happened in this game? Robby Anderson went off in this one against a good secondary for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He pulled that off on three receptions so it seems like it’s just one of those games that happen and not something to chase. Isaiah Crowell went for over 200 rushing yards on just 15(!) carries. I definitely didn’t see Crowell shredding this defense for over 14 yards a carry. Much like Anderson, I don’t think this moves the needle for Crowell moving forward. It’s a big game but it doesn’t make him safer since he’s still splitting with Bilal Powell. Even today, Powell carried the ball 20 times. Quincy Enunwa owners shouldn’t be discouraged. He drew basically the toughest matchup a slot receiver can have. He’ll be right back to a safe floor flex next week. Sam Darold isn’t a fantasy option either. He still didn’t throw for over 200 yards in this game.

Buffalo Bills – Win vs Tennessee Titans, 13-12

Despite the win for the Bills, there’s not much here for fantasy. Josh Allen continues to display some rushing upside with another touchdown on the ground but the passing game was a disaster in totaling only 82 yards. LeSean McCoy finally got a competitive game script and racked up 26 touches for 108 total yards. You just can’t feel good about him finding the end zone in any game. Still, it’s very hard to turn away from a back that can get 20 touches every time he’s on the field.

Miami Dolphins – Loss vs Cincinnati Bengals, 27-17

Kenyan Drake actually got some touches this week and who knew, he’s actually a good running back when he’s allowed to touch the ball. Most of his production came through the passing game and he saw a team-leading 11 targets. Why he’s getting half the rushing attempts of Frank Gore, I have no idea. Gore had a fine game but we’re at the same point as we always are with this backfield. Drake is the superior running back by a significant margin but you can’t feel comfortable about starting him. What if he’s not the focal point of the passing game next week? Speaking of the passing game, it’s still nothing to write home about. Ryan Tannehill has been over 230 yards passing exactly once this season. I had thought he would provide some fantasy value but it appears that was way off base. This offense is pretty gross for fantasy. You have to hold on Drake and just hope something clicks for Adam Gase and he figures out who needs the ball in this offense every week.

Fantasy Football – What We Learned – AFC North

Pittsburgh Steelers – Win vs Atlanta Falcons, 41-17

Well, if there was ever any doubt you play any running back against the Falcons, that’s dead and buried at this point. James Conner had a massive day after a couple of sub-par efforts and the Falcons just don’t have the players left on defense to play effectively. Conner rolled up 185 total yards and two touchdowns. The connection in the passing game for the receivers wasn’t the greatest yet again and Ben Roethlisberger was to blame for quite a bit of it. He made some terrible choices and missed at least one play with Antonio Brown that could have been a massive catch and run. The most disturbing part is some of these plays are easy to make it happen. It would have been another very slow day at the office until Big Ben found AB for a big 40+ yard touchdown in the fourth quarter that really swung the stat line. I’m not quite sure how to project that duo moving forward. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for folks who drafted Brown so high. It was a rare mostly quiet game for JuJu Smith-Schuster but there’s not much to read into that. He’s still heavily involved and that’s not changing anytime soon.

Cincinnati Bengals – Win vs Miami Dolphins, 27-17

So much for getting Joe Mixon back up to speed slowly. He touched the ball 25 times and had anyone known that to be the case, he would have been a top 10 play. 115 yards and a touchdown later and Mixon has another big game under his belt. Mark Walton is the handcuff to own while Gio Bernard is out, if you like doing that sort of thing. As long as Mixon came out of this game healthy, he is strictly a handcuff. A.J. Green had his typical game but Andy Dalton and Tyler Boyd fell a little flat. This offensive unit was suffering through some injuries so it’s something to keep an eye on. The Bengals offense has taken a nice step forward form 2017, generally speaking. However, they might not have the depth to absorb too many injuries. In fairness, most offenses can’t. The tight end situation looks very ugly right now. CJ Uzomah and Tyler Kroft combined for three targets, two receptions and 43 yards. That’s going to be tough to bank on.

Cleveland Browns – Win vs Baltimore Ravens, 12-9

Baker Mayfield is pretty good at football. It’s impressive he threw for 342 yards against a tough defense while only turning the ball over once. Heck, even a receiver named Derrick Willies got in on the action with 61 yards. Antonio Callaway has been a disaster so far but I still want to hold him just one more week. If he can’t get it going next week against a vulnerable Chargers defense, it’s time cut ties. David Njoku and Jarvis Landry are clearly the pass catchers to own with double-digit targets for both of them. Njoku is especially valuable due to the tight end position. Carlos Hyde remains the man in the backfield despite Nick Chubb making some splash plays last week. His reward was another three carries this week, which resulted in two yards. Hyde saw 19 touches and his schedule is about to get a lot easier as well. The defense is legitimate and should be in the discussion every week for a starting candidate.

Baltimore Ravens – Loss vs Cleveland Browns, 12-9

Joe Flacco throwing the ball 56 times seems like a weird choice, especially in a game that didn’t require it. Sure, the passing game is a lot better but there’s no reason for that. Alex Collins was hurt for a bit in this game so that may have contributed to the split among the running backs again. John Brown saw a massive target share as usual but it didn’t turn into much. That’s kind of the way things are going to go when you carry the aDOT that Brown does. Some weeks are going to be a little bit on the quiet side but it’s not something to get too worried about. Hayden Hurst had some buzz coming in and I still am very interested in him but maybe it takes a couple of weeks for him to get in line with the offense. Two targets isn’t anything to write home about. Buck Allen remains a nice flex style running back for bye weeks and any team that is stuck at running back right now.

Fantasy Football – What We Learned – AFC South

Jacksonville Jaguars – Loss vs Kansas City Chiefs, 30-14

Blake Bortles does it again. Did he play horribly from a real life perspective? You bet. Did he still pay off for fantasy with 400+ passing yards and a rushing touchdown? He sure did because that’s what Bortles does. The three interceptions hurt his fantasy score but not by all that much. The passing yards were there but it generally doesn’t help when you hit your offensive lineman in the head with a pass. T.J. Yeldon continued to prove why he’s always going to be a great start when Leonard Fournette is out. He’s more of a dual threat so you could argue he even has a safer floor because of his involvement of the passing game. The passing game for the receiving options were all over the place in part due to Bortles but even the targets were hard to figure again. This week, it was Donte Moncrief that led the corps in targets. I’m not convinced there’s any way to get a handle on this group consistently.

Tennessee Titans – Loss vs Buffalo Bills, 13-12

Well the Titans offense sure came back to Earth in this one. It was a bit of a let down spot but it was still very disappointing to see this kind of step backwards. We had talked about Corey Davis having a tough matchup and it sure looks like that was the case, since he didn’t go over 50 yards receiving. Marcus Mariota had a terrible day and this might have been a game to just feed Derrick Henry and lean on the defense. That wasn’t to be the case as Henry only got 11 carries, despite rolling 56 yards on those carries. Taywan Taylor had a big opportunity but had an early fumble and never seemed to stabilize after that. The Titans offense continues to frustrate and Davis might be the only one to start with any confidence right now. Playing the Ravens next week isn’t likely to help this offense get on track.

Houston Texans – Win vs Dallas Cowboys, 19-16

I’m pretty interested to see how many snaps Will Fuller got in this one. He was atypically quiet and this is the first time he’s flopped with Deshaun Watson at the helm. It’s certainly possible that Fuller was not totally healthy but Keke Coutee picked up some of the slack with six receptions, 51 yards and a touchdown. Given the state of the running game for the Texans, there’s actually a reasonably good chance Watson could support three receivers close to every week. DeAndre Hopkins is still the boss in this passing game with another big time game and we know what we’re getting every week. Watson himself had another monster game with his rushing production and going well over 300 yards passing. After a little bit of a slow start, he’s a firm QB1 every week. Is he the record-setting world destroyer he was last season? No but he’s still one of the best options at the position. Alfred Blue made his hay through the receiving game tonight since Lamar Miller was active, but didn’t play. His poor production makes me even more excited to stash D’Onta Foreman. Just remember coming off an Achilles injury is a major deal.

Indianapolis Colts – Loss vs New England Patriots, 38-24

This game could mark a turning point for the Colts offense and Andrew Luck. He was close to being all the way back and had some zip on most of his throws. Some of the deep throws may not have been all they way there yet, but this was an impressive effort considering the Colts offense was still missing Jack Doyle and T.Y. Hilton couldn’t go in this one either. Nyheim Hines seems to be pretty clearly the running back you want right now since he got 22 touches in this one, including 15 rush attempts. Eric Ebron is having a great season but it’s also partly due to Doyle being out for so long. The rest of the pass catchers are a little tough to sort through because the ball is spread around so much. Seeing Luck in this one makes me want to try to get a hold of Hilton if I can at a reasonable price. I would be surprised if Luck doesn’t attempt close to 40 passes the rest of the way.

Fantasy Football – What We Learned – AFC West

Denver Broncos – Loss vs New York Jets, 34-16

This is another spot where I’m not quite sure why you have a player like Case Keenum throw the ball 50+ times. The running game was going well and even though the Jets had a big second quarter, they weren’t that far behind that they should have just given up on the running game. Regardless, it figures that after weeks of middling production on a lot of targets, Demaryius Thomas has a big game with 100+ yards and a touchdown on just six targets. Emmanuel Sanders was perfectly fine as well and that’s still the only player I’m comfortable starting every week. The split of Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay is volatile at best moving forward and I certainly don’t want to start Keenum. Thomas might be hard to get away from and hopefully this game can get him going a little bit.

Kansas City Chiefs – Win vs Jacksonville Jaguars, 30-14

Even when the offense has a bad day, they’re tough to beat. This was the worst fantasy day we’ve seen from Mahomes since he didn’t throw for a touchdown but he did find pay dirt on the ground. All of the big three receivers of Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins were all over 50 yards and had at least four receptions. If that’s the kind of floor games that they have, you’re sitting pretty. Kelce didn’t have anything resembling a floor game and I think he might have taken over the overall TE1 for fantasy. If you had Gronk or Zach Ertz, I wouldn’t be opposed making a run at Kelce to improve just a bit if you could figure out some type of two for two trade. The Chiefs defense didn’t play poorly for the second straight week but I’m not ready to buy in yet. Let’s see how they handle the Patriots next week before we say the defense has improved. Kareem Hunt has silenced the concerns that were swirling around his production even though he remains uninvolved in the passing game.

Oakland Raiders – Loss vs Los Angeles Chargers, 26-10

After a week of beating the drum for the Raiders, Derek Carr let me and a lot of folks down. Sure, he wasn’t abjectly terrible but he wasn’t that good either. What’s even more fun is seeing Jalen Richard and Seth Roberts combine for 13 targets while Amari Cooper got one. One measly target. I’m not going to pretend I understand what’s going on with that but it’s par for the course with Cooper at this point in his career. Some inconsistency is expected in fantasy football but Cooper is on his own level with that. Marshawn Lynch had a bad game but they were behind the score almost the entire game so it’s not all that surprising. I still tend to think Carr will have some good fantasy games going forward but the predictability of this team is very difficult from week to week.

Los Angeles Chargers – Win vs Oakland Raiders, 26-10

Melvin “The Machine” Gordon just keeps on ticking. It’s not always the rushing yards but the receiving yards always are there for a safety net. That happened again as it normally does for 120 total yards and a touchdown. He’s so consistent and maybe still somehow underrated but the guy is fantasy gold. Keenan Allen still hasn’t found the form that he had at the end of 2017 but maybe that was more the outlier than anything else. It’s still pretty hard to be mad about eight receptions for 90 yards. He’s steady as a rock, as is Philip Rivers. Austin Ekeler didn’t do much outside of a big 44 yard touchdown but that’s exactly what that man does. One or two touches is all he needs to break open a game. Guys like Mike Williams and Antonio Gates are firmly in the backseat in this offense.

Fantasy Football – What We Learned – NFC East

Philadelphia Eagles – Loss ve Minnesota Vikings, 23-21

As I mentioned in the Chiefs recap, I would be trying to package Gronk and a player for Zach Ertz and another player. I think Gronk is third in that pecking order now that Ertz has his quarterback fully healthy and the man is so involved in a good offense, it’s hard not to want that safety over Gronk and the crowded Patriots offense. Ertz was fourth in the NFL in targets and saw another 11 in this game, turning it into 10 receptions, 100 yards and a touchdown. Carson Wentz has really looked like himself since coming back and he rushed the ball five times. That’s a nice bonus to his passing ability and the knee injury is safely behind him. Alshon Jeffery will see better days when he’s not facing Xavier Rhodes on the other side of the ball. Wendell Smallwood is starting to produce a little bit but his touches are so limited right now that it’s tough to buy into it. Jay Ajayi is still in that back-end RB2 range but it’s important to remember he’s playing through a back injury. The rumors of the Eagles being interested in Le’Veon Bell would be really interesting if it turned into something more concrete.

New York Giants – Loss vs Carolina Panthers, 33-31

The stats are a little misleading for Eli Manning because he really didn’t look all that good. Still, anyone that played him is happy with 300+ yards and two touchdowns. If you bought low on Odell Beckham, you reaped the rewards immediately. He went ballistic in this game, with eight receptions, 131 yards and a touchdown. If that wasn’t enough, he also threw a 57 yard touchdown to Saquon Barkley who had himself a game as well. He rolled up 129 scrimmage yards and found the end zone twice. He’s just so safe because he’s involved in every single facet and game situation. He and Odell are the rocks in this offense even though they are generally being weighed down by Manning himself. Sterling Shepard is a perfectly fine start until Evan Engram gets back. Then the situation gets a little murkier and we’ll have to take it as it comes at that point.

Washington Redskins – TBD

The Redskins are out of their bye week in a high-octane matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The one player I really wan to see get going is Jamison Crowder. He’s got one of the better match-ups out of the slot that anyone could have and they will likely have to score at least 25 points to stay in this game.

Dallas Cowboys – Loss vs Houston Texans, 19-16

All this game did was reinforce my idea that it’s Ezekiel Elliott and possibly Geoff Swaim in deep leagues. There’s some blowback against Dak Prescott but it’s really unfair to blast him, in my opinion. What is this guy supposed to do? His receiving corps is in absolute tatters. The only player to see more than four targets was Zeke and even then, he couldn’t get much going on his seven receptions. It’s too easy for defenses to defend this offense and it’s tough sledding for Zeke because of it. They need an overhaul basically top to bottom but that’s not coming until next season, at the earliest.

Fantasy Football – What We Learned – NFC North

Green Bay Packers – Loss vs Detroit Lions, 31-23

My word did Aaron Rodgers have himself a second half. The first two quarters were an abject disaster for the passing game and then it rebounded to finish with over 400 yards and three touchdowns. Davante Adams went for over 150 yards and found the end zone and he’s just been the model of consistency with Rodgers so far this year. Even the rookie receivers stepped up after halftime. Marquez Valdes-Scantling was an inch away from multiple touchdowns and showed some promise. I can’t understand why Aaron Jones isn’t getting more carries at this point. Sure, the game got away from the Packers in the first half but I’m still surprised he didn’t see more work than the nine touches he had. At this point, it’s Rodgers, Jimmy Graham and Davante Adams for weekly starters and not much else. If you play with kickers and have Mason Crosby, you might be looking for a new one this week. The veteran kicker had an unbelievably bad day, missing four field goals. It remains to be seen if his track record is enough for the Packers to hold onto after that type of performance.

Detroit Lions – Win vs Green Bay Packers, 31-23

Another team that can’t seem to figure out who their best running back is resides on this side of the game. Once again, Kerryon Johnson ran circles around LeGarrette Blount and there’s just no debate about who needs to be the man in this backfield. The obstacle is Matt Patricia doesn’t seem to see an issue with giving running backs the same amount of carries even when one rips off over five yards a carry and one averages under two. This shouldn’t be this hard but Johnson remains a scary fly until Patricia wakes up. Marvin Jones had one of the most tilting games ever, with a monster touchdown and long reception taken off the board via penalties. That cleared the way for Kenny Golladay to have the big week this week as the carousel continues to turn in Detroit. All three of those receivers need to be started and the penalties that hurt Jones really crushed Matthew Stafford‘s game as well. They’ll be plenty of bigger weeks ahead.

Chicago Bears – Bye Week

Chicago comes out of the bye traveling to Miami. The biggest storyline going into that game is why Tarik Cohen saw so many touches in a game that the Bears smashed the Bucs in. Does it mean trouble for Jordan Howard? I’m very interested in this storyline through the week to see if Matt Nagy gives us any clues as to what’s happening.

Minnesota Vikings – Win vs Philadelphia Eagles, 23-21

Alright, Adam Thielen. We get it, you’re really good at football. He’s been lights out this season and continues his streak of at 100 yards receiving in every single game so far. He and Stefon Diggs are in the discussion for the best tandem in football and it was interesting to see Diggs get a couple rushing attempts in this one. The ground game for the Vikings has been very poor so far this season so it would be great for Diggs owners if he starts adding that to his floor. Kirk Cousins played well and owners might have been hoping for another touchdown or two, but it’s tough to complain about 300+ yards and a touchdown. Kyle Rudolph is just kind of there for a tight end, you’re never going to sit him but he doesn’t have any sizzle. Until Dalvin Cook gets healthy, this offense is pretty concentrated through the passing game. Latavius Murray is fine in his stead just because he’ll see volume but that’s about the only thing he’s got going for him. The defense is still not quite as good as we thought but maybe this was a small step in the right direction.

Fantasy Football – What We Learned – NFC South

Carolina Panthers – Win vs New York Giants, 33-31

The Giants really did a solid job holding Cam Newton in check. This is the Newton that is always in play because there are plenty of games that the rushing production buoy him up overall. Since the passing production was just average, that’s all you got from Newton in this one. The passing game pieces were nothing special but Devin Funchess did about what is expected with four receptions for 53 yards in a quietly tough matchup. Christian McCaffrey keeps on ticking with a touchdown and 93 total yards. What is interesting is the fact that he’s not really been a monster in the passing game other than the game against the Falcons so far this season. It’s certainly nothing that changes his outlook, because he’s getting all the touches you could ask for. It’s just the way they’re being given to him.

Atlanta Falcons – Loss vs Pittsburgh Steelers, 41-17

Given the expectations for the Falcons offense coming into this one, they’re in the running for the biggest disappointment of the week. Matt Ryan and the passing game were fine, but Julio Jones owners have to be steamed beyond belief. Five receptions for 62 yards and yet another week without a touchdown have to be frustrating. Jones is one of the most gifted receivers but there are just too many weeks like this for my liking. The numbers for receptions and yards will be there at the end of the season but they’re going to come in bunches. Austin Hooper was the star of the passing game so on this day with nine receptions for 77 yards. I tend to think this was more matchup related than a big step forward, but he’s always in the conversation for a streamer. Hopefully the running back split was just because Devonta Freeman was on his first game back. He likely should have gotten more than the 10 touches he ended up with and we’ll have to see how this upcoming week develops. The Falcons defense isn’t getting any better so the offense should bounce back this upcoming week.

New Orleans Saints – TBD

The big question that we’re all looking forward to in this one is how the work gets divided between Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. Drew Brees is a lock to set the passing record in this game barring a severely terrible game from him.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Bye Week

This could be big game for the Bucs coming out of the bye. Atlanta is reeling and can’t stop a nose bleed on defense. Freshly reinstated Jameis Winston has a glorious matchup and all three of Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin should be able to have big games this upcoming week. Considering how poor the Falcons are at defending the running back, Ronald Jones needs to be rostered ASAP. If he goes off in this game, he’s going to be massively popular on next week on waivers.

Fantasy Football – What We Learned – NFC West

Arizona Cardinals – Win vs San Francisco 49ers, 28-12

Josh Rosen connected for a 75 yard touchdown with rookie Christian Kirk and it seemed like the offense could be ready to get rolling. That wasn’t to be the case as Rosen still finished under 200 yards again and couldn’t get much going otherwise. I’m not going to blame anyone for dropping Larry Fitzgerald at this point. Whether he’s healthy or not is irrelevant. You can’t play him for 2-4 targets/receptions for 25-40 yards. David Johnson didn’t roll up a ton of yardage but two touchdowns is going to pay the bills every single week. He’s a firm low-end RB1, high-end RB2 the rest of the way and the buy low window has probably gone. One of the more frustrating aspects of the passing game was seeing Ricky Seals-Jones get six targets and catch none of the, against a team that had been beat up by tight ends all year-long. The Rosen-led offense isn’t there yet but there’s at least some small spark. The Cardinals defense is a candidate to start in certain spots and they paid off big time this week.

More from FanSided

Seattle Seahawks – Loss vs Seattle Seahawks, 33-31

If you had told me the Seahawks would put up 30 points and Russell Wilson would only throw the ball 21 times, I would have called you a liar and laughed at you. Yet, that’s exactly what happened. Here’s my issue with Wilson. He literally only had those 21 opportunities to put up points. That’s right, not a single rushing attempt. If he hadn’t thrown three touchdowns, a lot of owners would have been let down. The running game was really on point in this game and that’s fair to note when assessing Wilson’s play. However, this is kind of the way Seattle wants to play again. They want to smash mouth teams and try to play defense. The Chris Carson and Mike Davis split worked out nicely since they both averaged over 5.5 yards per carry. Seattle also rushed the ball 32 times, which isn’t great for Wilson. Time of possession was so close, you can’t even make the argument that they held the ball 40 minutes to keep the Rams off the field. Snaps aren’t available but I have no idea what happened to Doug Baldwin. If he didn’t aggravate his knee injury, this game is terrifying. One target for one five yard reception is pretty much rock bottom. Hopefully, we get a reason behind this game.

San Francisco 49ers – Loss vs Arizona Cardinals, 28-12

C.J. Beathard is a weird way to spell “Blake Bortles” because they’re basically the same quarterback. It may not be pretty and you likely don’t want to look at the stat line until the end, but he’s actually been solid for fantasy in both of his starts so far. One of the best things he’s doing is keeping George Kittle afloat. The last thing fantasy players needed was one more tight end off the board due to injuries or poor quarterback play. Matt Bredia suffered an ankle sprain that cost him about half of this game and it’s a real shame. He racked up 61 yards and a touchdown on just nine touches before his injury and he’s proving himself to be a very talented player. It just remains to be seen if he can stay on the field to keep up the production. There’s a gaggle of players after Kittle in the passing game that are interesting if Beathard is going to throw the ball a ton every game. Trent Taylor, Pierre Garcon and Kyle Juszczyk all saw at least seven targets but it’s tough to gauge that moving forward because Marquise Goodwin was out today. Garcon saw the lead with 12 targets but Taylor was a little more productive and found the end zone. They’re all fringe options with bye weeks coming up but are likely deeper league targets only.

Los Angeles Rams – Win vs Seattle Seahawks, 33-31

First off, hopefully Brandin Cooks is alright after taking potentially the most vile hit we’ve seen all season. How Tedric Thompson was not flagged or thrown out of this game after a hit that left Cooks in a pretty scary way is something the NFL is going to have a hard time answering. When the trainers are shoving players off a fallen player, that’s not a good sign for anyone. Cooper Kupp is also in concussion protocol so the Rams could be thin coming into next week’s contest. The Rams got their tight ends involved with Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee getting some work. I wonder if Josh Reynolds would be a bigger part of the game plan if coach Sean McVay knows he’ll be missing two of his top receivers. Todd Gurley is the RB1 by a mile this season with another 110 scrimmage yards and he found the end zone three times. We haven’t seen the offense without most of their weapons at any point through the McVay era so we could be in uncharted waters this week. Hopefully Cooks and Kupp can make recoveries and get right as soon as possible.

Fantasy Football – What We Learned, Week 5

By Adam Strangis | Oct 8, 2018
