Mike Evans vs. the Seahawks: 7 catches for 113 yards 1 TD 22.8 fantasy points Most fantasy points scored by a WR against the Seahawks since Week 16 of 2025 (Puka Nacua).

St. Brown was impactful as a receiver with 69 yards on six catches, but committed two fumbles that nearly ruined his day: one on a long punt return after Tom Kennedy left the game, and another on a reception that resulted in an eight-yard loss.

St. Brown was still impactful as a receiver with 69 yards on six catches, but a pair of fumbles almost ruined his day. The first came on a long punt return after Tom Kennedy left the game, while the second came on a reception that resulted in a loss of eight yards.

Gibbs totaled 151 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries in another electric game. The source notes this is now the norm for him and that he is that good, warranting only a brief mention because his consistent excellence is expected. He also had some impressive pass protection reps against Arizona.

Williams had been touchdown-less prior to this week and lacked consistency (boom or bust), with drops being his biggest flaw. Against Arizona, his hands were solid and he reached the end zone twice: a 39-yard deep shot where he outran defenders, and a short 8-yard pass. The source notes it is nice to see him reach the end zone in ways that aren't just deep passes or end-arounds, demonstrating he has the talent to be a well-rounded receiver.

Through five games, Goff has over 1,400 passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The source emphasizes that the stats alone don't tell the full picture; Goff has been perfect at avoiding turnovers (aside from a non-fumble against New Orleans) and is described as 'steady'—reliable and facilitating success for players around him. The source notes he brings out the best in talented players like Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown, and is a coordinator's best friend because schemes can be built around him and he executes them.

LaPorta was the Lions' leading receiver with 88 yards on five catches and made critical plays early when the offense was disjointed; he converted a fourth-and-3 with a key grab, made a man miss on third-and-12 for an 11-yard gain, and turned a fourth-down attempt into an easy 38-yard touchdown grab. The source emphasizes reliability as the forefront of his game, noting that when things look grim, Jared Goff and Drew Petzing can turn to LaPorta for a spark.

St. Brown posted 69 receiving yards on six catches but committed two fumbles that nearly derailed his fantasy day: one on a long punt return after Tom Kennedy left the game, and a second on a reception that resulted in an eight-yard loss. The source characterizes the fumbles as almost ruining an otherwise impactful performance.

While Amon-Ra St. Brown remained impactful as a receiver with 69 yards on six catches, a pair of fumbles nearly ruined his day. The first came on a long punt return after Tom Kennedy left the game, while the second came on a reception that resulted in a loss of eight yards.

Jahmyr Gibbs delivered another electric performance, totaling 151 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries. The source notes this is now the norm for him—he is that good—and also had some impressive pass protection reps against Arizona.

Jameson Williams delivered a needed breakout game after being touchdown-less prior to this week and struggling with consistency and drops. Against Arizona, his hands were solid and he reached the end zone twice: a 39-yard deep shot where he outran defenders, and an 8-yard short pass. The source notes it is encouraging to see him score in ways beyond deep passes or end-arounds, demonstrating he has the talent to be a well-rounded receiver.

Through five games, Goff has over 1,400 passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The source emphasizes that stats alone don't capture his value: the Lions offense has had ups and downs, but rarely has Goff been at fault for miscues. He has been perfect at avoiding turnovers (aside from a non-fumble against New Orleans). The source describes Goff as 'steady'—reliable and facilitating success for talented players around him like Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Goff is described as a coordinator's best friend because schemes can be built around him and he executes them.

LaPorta is the Lions' most reliable target in critical moments; early in the game when the offense was disjointed and sputtering, key grabs by LaPorta kept the Lions moving, including a fourth-and-3 conversion and an 11-yard third-and-12 gain. He finished with 88 yards on five catches as the Lions' leading receiver, including a 38-yard touchdown grab on fourth down. The source emphasizes reliability as the forefront of his game: when things look grim, Jared Goff and Drew Petzing can turn to LaPorta for a spark.

PLAYER OF THE GAME! MIKE FUCKING EVANS!

Kittle had five catches for 24 yards in the 49ers' win over Seattle; the source notes he was the next highest receiver on the receptions list after Mike Evans, indicating the 49ers' offense relied heavily on Evans and did very little otherwise.

Evans finished with seven catches for 113 yards, one touchdown and a two-point conversion against Josh Jobe; the source notes the 49ers exploited Jobe's smaller frame by putting Evans in one-on-one matchups, with Evans looking like 'the big brother shaking off his younger sibling' at times. The source calls Evans 'a difference maker in the pass game that San Francisco hasn't had as an option in recent seasons' and notes the Seahawks will need a better plan to handle him when they meet again after Thanksgiving.

Darnold threw a forced interception on the second offensive play of the game, exemplifying the Seahawks' poor ball security; the source notes all four Seahawks turnovers were avoidable and that the team does not appear to cherish holding onto the football this season.

All 3 of these are pretty surprising / impressive Chiefs with massive holes at WR and moved on from their top-2 CBs (though drafter their replacement) Vikings had Kyler, Jefferson, and Addison miss time 49ers substration effect

Tyler Allgeier faced less-stacked boxes as a result of the defensive attention Harrison commanded in Arizona. Harrison was on the field for 74% of offensive snaps through the Cardinals' first four games, which provided run-game relief for teammates like Allgeier.

Jeremiah Love faced less-stacked boxes as a result of the defensive attention Harrison commanded in Arizona. Harrison was on the field for 74% of offensive snaps through the Cardinals' first four games, which provided run-game relief for teammates like Love.

Trey McBride benefited from the defensive attention Harrison commanded in Arizona, helping him find creases in defenses. Harrison was on the field for 74% of offensive snaps through the Cardinals' first four games, which provided coverage relief for teammates like McBride.

Michael Wilson benefited from the defensive attention Harrison commanded in Arizona, helping him find creases in defenses. Harrison was on the field for 74% of offensive snaps through the Cardinals' first four games, which provided coverage relief for teammates like Wilson.

Nico Collins missed Weeks 2 and 3 with a hamstring strain suffered in practice, contributing to the Texans' receiving corps depth issues that prompted the Harrison acquisition.

Jayden Higgins suffered a season-ending ACL tear during training camp, removing him from the Texans' receiving options for 2025.

Tank Dell remains out on injured reserve after knee surgery following a December dislocation of his kneecap and multiple torn ligaments. His absence has left the Texans' receiving corps shallow heading into the Harrison trade.

Wilson, who overlapped with Harrison at Ohio State, expressed enthusiasm about Harrison's trade to Houston and the reunion with Stroud. Wilson told Yahoo Sports after the Jets beat the Browns: 'I don't even know if I'm allowed to say [but] I was praying something happened with him. The fact he did, and it's a spot like Houston? Man, I'm happy for him.' Wilson's endorsement reflects his firsthand knowledge of Harrison's ability and the college chemistry with Stroud.

Stroud has played better this season than the Texans' 1-4 record suggests, completing 64.3% of his passes for 1,402 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions in five games while rushing for 71 yards and a score. The Texans' receiving corps has been decimated by injuries: Tank Dell remains out after knee surgery following a December dislocation and multiple torn ligaments; Jayden Higgins suffered a season-ending ACL tear during training camp; Nico Collins missed Weeks 2 and 3 with a hamstring strain. The addition of Harrison, who has elite catch radius and route-running ability, should significantly improve Stroud's supporting cast.

Harrison's draft pedigree (fourth overall, 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns in college) did not translate to consistent NFL production in Arizona. Some talent evaluators now question whether Harrison was 'overdrafted' relative to his career performance, with one NFC evaluator suggesting his decision to skip combine drills may have masked underwhelming physical testing that would have lowered his draft position. An AFC executive countered that production on the field matters more than combine metrics, but the narrative around Harrison's college film versus pro results has shifted.

Harrison's trade to Houston reunites him with C.J. Stroud, his Ohio State quarterback with whom he posted 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns in 13 games in 2022, including three touchdown connections in the Rose Bowl alone. Garrett Wilson, who overlapped with Harrison at Ohio State, expressed optimism about the pairing: 'They don't really miss now together. C.J. don't miss much anyway, but when he got a guy like that, that got a catch radius like that, runs good routes? It's going to be fun to watch.' Wilson also noted the benefit of excitement following a trade acquisition versus disappointment surrounding a high-draft pick that underperformed, and called Harrison 'a ticking-time bomb' with 'all the ability in the world.'

Harrison's Cardinals tenure ended with just 13 targets across four games in 2025, down sharply from prior seasons; he finished with 108 catches for 1,578 yards and 13 touchdowns in 33 games (30 starts) over two-plus seasons. The target plummet, combined with 2025 health setbacks including concussion, appendicitis, and two heel injuries, prompted the trade to Houston.

Cooks caught a touchdown pass from Brock Purdy in the fourth quarter that gave the 49ers a 29-26 lead with 11:02 remaining in the game.

Evans had 113 yards on seven receptions against the Seahawks, finding success especially in matchups against Josh Jobe. Early in the fourth quarter, an Evans 23-yard reception against Jobe allowed the 49ers to convert a third-and-10, and a 28-yarder got them out of a second-and-21 hole. Evans also caught a two-point conversion pass. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said: 'They do a really good job with their coverages, when to take people away and stuff. But every time they didn't, it felt like Brock found it and Mike rewarded him for it.'

Kupp caught a Darnold pass at the Seattle sideline about a yard shy of the first-down marker on what would have been the Seahawks' final offensive play, attempting to reach for the needed yards as he went out of bounds. The call was upheld after review, ending the game with a 49ers 32-29 victory. Kupp said: 'I knew it was close. Clearly, it was short. Just not enough there, and we got to find a way to get that fourth down.'

Smith-Njigba caught five passes for 102 yards but dropped a critical pass with under a minute left in the game on third-and-10 from midfield that would have moved the ball inside San Francisco's 20. The drop came when the Seahawks were down three and needing a first down. Smith-Njigba said: 'That's the one I want. So definitely would have loved to have those back. But I can't sulk in it. … I guess I was thinking too much at that time. Just needed to play free and catch the ball at the end of the day.'

Holani fumbled in the end zone with 13 seconds left in the first half while the Seahawks were attempting to run out the clock, giving the 49ers a 21-13 halftime lead. Holani acknowledged the critical mistake: 'Definitely was a critical mistake. Just got to be able to be better with ball security, especially when we're backed up like that.'

Running back Emanuel Wilson fumbled at the Seattle 11-yard line in the first half, resulting in a 49ers touchdown. This was one of three turnovers that led directly to San Francisco scores in the game.

Darnold threw two interceptions in the Seahawks' 32-29 loss to the 49ers; one interception at the Seattle 18 in the first half led directly to a 49ers touchdown. His second pick came on the second play of the second half. The turnovers were a primary reason for the defeat.

Terry McLaurin expressed frustration with the Commanders' tie outcome against the Giants, calling it worse than a loss because the team had a genuine opportunity to win. McLaurin said the final play was "unacceptable," reflecting the offense's inability to execute in a critical moment despite being in control for most of the game.

Jayden Daniels acknowledged end-of-game communication and situational awareness failures in overtime against the Giants. On whether the offense knew they had no timeouts left, Daniels said: "We've just got to communicate that. It's starts with me communicating to the whole offense in the huddle." He noted they practice situational scenarios throughout the week but failed to execute in the moment. Daniels also clarified he was not limited by his brace, saying he "felt like himself," but the tie outcome reflects execution and communication breakdowns rather than physical limitations.

Shaheed picked up 22 yards on a play late in the game to put Seattle in field goal range, but the drive stalled when Keion White recorded a sack.

Samuel suffered a hamstring injury at the start of a drive in the fourth quarter. As he went down, Samuel did not hold on to the ball, which gave Seattle a short field and contributed to the Seahawks extending their lead to 26-21.

JSN had a mixed performance with both explosive plays and a critical drop. He ran by Deommodore Lenoir for a 38-yard gain, made Malik Mustapha miss on a screen pass for 16 yards, and later made Warner and Mustapha miss in the open field on 3rd and 3 en route to a touchdown. However, on 3rd and 10 late in the game, JSN beat Jack Jones but 'inexplicably dropped the ball,' which proved costly in the final moments.

McCaffrey scored on a one-yard touchdown run in the first half and later contributed key carries in the fourth-quarter game-winning drive, picking up 8 and 13 yards to begin the drive and making a defender miss in the backfield to avoid a negative play.

Dart was unavailable for the Giants' game against Washington, with the source noting the team's resilience despite missing him and Brian Burns.

His rushing production was significant but ultimately not enough to secure a win as the defense tightened and he failed to convert in overtime.

Kolar's opening pass reception was fumbled away on the Chargers' first play of the game, continuing a pattern of early-game turnovers for the offense (Herbert's opening throw was also picked off by Seattle the previous week).

McConkey, the Chargers' No. 1 receiver, missed the game against Denver due to a foot injury, limiting the team's passing game options alongside the absence of All-Pro safety Derwin James Jr. (hamstring).

Rucci caught a seven-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to help tie the game at 10-10, indicating he is receiving red-zone opportunities in the Chargers' offense.

Vidal broke five tackles on a 42-yard touchdown run that gave the Chargers a lead in the third quarter, showcasing explosive playmaking ability despite the team's overall offensive struggles and eventual loss.

Herbert melted down in the fourth quarter with three consecutive drive-killing turnovers: a fumble on a fourth-and-one keeper, a fumble on the next possession, and an interception on the following drive. He was sacked five times, completed 14 of 24 passes for 121 yards (his lowest passing total since 81 yards vs. Jacksonville last November), and has now gone seven consecutive games with at least as many interceptions as touchdowns dating to last season. Playing behind a cobbled-together offensive line with starting tackles Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater injured, Herbert acknowledged the turnover problem: 'Just can't turn the ball over.'

Huntley is the backup quarterback for the Ravens, and when he plays instead of Lamar Jackson, it significantly impacts the passing game production, particularly for Zay Flowers who drops from WR1 to WR2 status.

Jackson's absence impacts Zay Flowers' production ceiling, dropping him from WR1 to WR2 status; his health status is critical to the Ravens' passing game.

Flowers takes a hit without Lamar Jackson, though the Ravens manufactured 10 opportunities in the short areas; Flowers can be a WR1 when Jackson is healthy, but the source will keep him in the set-and-forget WR2 bucket when Tyler Huntley has to play.

Beck is an unknown rookie who will eventually take over the Cardinals offense from Jacoby Brissett; the source expresses uncertainty about his ability to maintain offensive production.

Brissett is the competent quarterback currently in the Cardinals offense, but the source notes there are no guarantees when the baton gets passed to rookie Carson Beck.

Bourne, in his age-31 season and never inside the WR25 cutline, has earned a WR18 standing through five weeks; this emergence is notable given Marvin Harrison Jr.'s underperformance in the Cardinals offense.

Harrison Jr. is either quitting on the Cardinals or the team doesn't know how to deploy him; meanwhile, Kendrick Bourne in his age-31 season has earned a WR18 standing through five weeks, suggesting Harrison Jr. is underperforming expectations.

Croskey-Merritt was limited to 11 carries in Week 5 despite having earned the right to play more; the source questions why he isn't getting more volume.

McLaurin's line was saved by an overtime catch in Week 5; the source suggests looking to trade any piece of the Cardinals passing game if possible, indicating skepticism about the offense's sustainability.

Daniels played again in Week 5 and ran aggressively, but the source notes 'it doesn't feel like a sustainable business model,' suggesting his rushing approach may not be a long-term strategy.

Purdy was the QB2 through four weeks but sits at QB14 for Week 5 entering Monday night; the Seattle defense got the win over him again in Week 5, and the source notes the 49ers have been comically unlucky with healthy wideouts this year.

Judkins continues to be a bell cow with 18 opportunities in Week 5 against the Jets, but the Cleveland offensive line doesn't open many holes (3.1 YPC); he was wearing a walking boot on his right foot after the game, raising injury concerns.

Bond had 74 yards receiving in Week 5 against the Jets but dropped a couple of passes; the Browns' receivers didn't cover themselves in glory despite Watson's poor performance.

Watson took a step back in Week 5 against the Jets, taking eight sacks and managing just 4.7 yards per attempt; the Browns' offensive line struggles continue to limit his effectiveness.

Perine had 16 touches for 78 total yards and stole a touchdown in Week 5 at Miami, making the Bengals backfield a 50-50 split with Chase Brown; this suggests increased role and opportunity going forward.

Brown was a dud in Week 5 at Miami with 13 rushes netting just 39 yards and 60 total yards; he also lost a fumble, and Samaje Perine stole a touchdown, making the backfield a 50-50 split.

Skattebo had a disappointing return in Week 5 against Washington with 71 total yards and almost lost the game with an overtime fumble; the source notes this was a disappointing performance for the running back.

Likely collected 13 targets in Week 5 against Washington, catching 11 for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns; with narrow concentration from Jameis Winston, Likely is one of the two best players peppered with volume.

Nabers absorbed a silly 20 targets in Week 5 against Washington, catching 11 for 121 yards and 1 touchdown; with such narrow concentration from Jameis Winston, this can be a fun offense to target.

Winston wasn't sharp in the first half against Washington but eventually came around with 326 passing yards, three touchdowns, just one turnover, and three sacks in Week 5; he peppered his two best players with narrow concentration, making the offense fun to target.

Hall is not expected back in Week 6, which opens the door for Braelon Allen to continue as the lead back for the Jets.

Allen had a 24-116-1 day of pile-moving and consistent positive runs in Week 5 against Seattle; with Breece Hall not expected back in Week 6, Allen is positioned to continue as the lead back.

Smith was mediocre in Week 5 against Seattle with 6.1 yards per attempt and four sacks in rainy conditions; despite the poor performance, his top receiver Garrett Wilson still managed to produce.

Wilson caught 7 passes for 104 yards and 1 touchdown in Week 5 against Seattle despite mediocre conditions (rain in New York, Geno Smith managing 6.1 YPA); the source notes 'sometimes you just have to bet on talent,' suggesting Wilson's production validates his draft capital.

Washington caught 6 passes for 124 yards and 2 touchdowns in Jacksonville's 19-17 win over Philadelphia in Week 5; his ADP kept rising all summer and he is still in place to smash his draft-day ticket despite the poorly played game.

Brown is expected to return in Week 6 against the Jets; the source notes 'The Patriots offense could really start cooking when A.J. Brown comes back,' suggesting his return will significantly boost the passing game.

Henderson left early in Week 5 against the Raiders with an ankle injury, potentially affecting his availability going forward.

Stevenson held the fort capably in Week 5 against the Raiders with 85 total yards and a touchdown, maintaining his role as the Patriots' lead back.

Henry caught 3 passes for 44 yards and 1 touchdown against the Raiders in Week 5; the source notes 'whom you might have started,' suggesting he was a reasonable fantasy start who delivered.

Raridon caught 5 passes for 57 yards and 1 touchdown against the Raiders in Week 5, benefiting from Drake Maye's perfect day and distributed passing attack.

Chism caught 5 passes for 57 yards against the Raiders in Week 5, one of several afterthought pass-catchers who benefited from Drake Maye's dominant performance.

Douglas caught 4 passes for 65 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Raiders in Week 5, benefiting from Drake Maye's perfect day and efficient passing.

Williams caught 3 passes for 91 yards and 1 touchdown against the Raiders in Week 5, benefiting from Drake Maye's dominant performance; he was one of several afterthought pass-catchers who scored in the game.

Maye crushed everything in his path the last two weeks after a September slump; in Week 5 against the Raiders, he threw for four touchdowns and ran in a fifth with a perfect day (11.0 YPA, 150.9 rating), distributing passes among afterthought pass-catchers.

Young is mentioned as being on holiday (likely referring to bye week or rest) in Week 5, affecting the quarterback rankings; he has been good this season according to the source.

Freiermuth caught 5 passes for 44 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Colts, but the source notes 'I don't know anyone who is going to chase after' him, suggesting his two-touchdown performance is viewed as an outlier rather than a sustainable trend.

Bernard took advantage of nine targets in Week 5 against the Colts with 6 catches for 80 yards, but the source questions whether this level of target volume is sustainable.

Metcalf was invisible in Week 5 against the Colts with 3 catches for 12 yards on four targets; the source notes he 'often is' invisible, suggesting a pattern of underperformance.

Wilson, a trendy sleeper, was erased by a finger injury in Week 5; he was expected to contribute to the Steelers' passing game but is now sidelined.

Dowdle is out with a toe injury, which has opened the door for Jaylen Warren to take over as the lead back in Pittsburgh; while Dowdle is a good player ticketed for some kind of role eventually, Warren has the lead for now.

Warren went ballistic in Week 5 against the Colts with 33.8 fantasy points, scoring on an 80-yard touchdown catch and a 50-yard touchdown run; he had a snappy 6-80-1 day through the air and now has 19 catches on 26 targets (on pace for about 65 receptions). With Rico Dowdle out with a toe injury, Warren is staking his claim as the lead back in Pittsburgh.

Johnson picked up five catches against Green Bay, mostly in garbage time as the Bears were blown out 31-7; his role remains limited behind D'Andre Swift.

Swift was fine with 73 total yards and a touchdown against Green Bay with the backfield essentially to himself; he remains the lead back in Chicago's offense.

Loveland caught 2 passes for 19 yards against Green Bay and is now in his fifth straight game under expectation; the source notes 'we're going to have some hard discussions about Colston Loveland this week' and suggests his struggles are tied to Chicago's backup quarterback situation.

Burden caught 4 passes for 47 yards against Green Bay and is not paying off his summer buzz; the source indicates the Bears' pass catchers are underperforming expectations with backup quarterbacks.

Odunze drew nine targets against Green Bay but managed only 3 catches for 40 yards and no touchdowns, continuing the Bears' pass-catcher struggles with backup quarterbacks; the source notes 'we're all getting crushed on the pass catchers in the Chicago offense.'

Lloyd bailed out his day with two rushing touchdowns against Chicago despite the Packers' ongoing ground game struggles (2.7 YPC); he had 10 carries in a backfield where LaFleur continues to rotate options (Lloyd 10, Kaleb Johnson 7, Pierre Strong 5).

Kraft caught all five of his targets for 64 yards against Chicago, including a 46-yard rainbow down the right sideline, benefiting from Love's efficient passing and the Packers' dominant offensive performance.

Golden went 6-123-0 plus a two-point conversion catch against Chicago, getting loose for significant yardage despite not scoring a touchdown; he was part of Love's Big 3 receivers who accounted for 330 of Green Bay's 367 receiving yards.

Watson caught 6 passes for 143 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Bears, benefiting from Love's efficient passing game and narrow target tree that concentrates volume among Green Bay's top three receivers.

Love had a near-perfect day completing 25-of-31 passes for 367 yards and two touchdowns against Chicago; his Big 3 receivers accounted for 330 of his 367 receiving yards, demonstrating a narrow target tree that is favorable for fantasy management.

Judkins continues to be a bell cow with 18 opportunities in Cleveland's loss to the Jets, but the Cleveland line doesn't open many holes (3.1 YPC); he was wearing a walking boot on his right foot after the game.

Bond had 74 yards receiving in Cleveland's loss to the Jets but dropped a couple of passes; the Browns' receivers didn't cover themselves in glory.

Watson finally took a step back for Cleveland, taking 8 sacks against the Jets and managing just 4.7 yards per attempt.

Perine stole a touchdown and made the Cincinnati backfield a 50-50 split with 16 touches for 78 total yards in the game at Miami; he took opportunity away from Chase Brown.

Brown was a dud at Miami with 13 rushes for just 39 yards and 60 total yards; he also lost a fumble. Samaje Perine stole a touchdown and made the backfield a 50-50 split, which was supposed to be Brown's week to get his season cooking.

Skattebo had a disappointing return with 71 total yards in Washington's tie with New York; he almost lost the game with his overtime fumble.

Likely collected 13 targets to catch 11 passes for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns in Washington's tie with New York; with such narrow concentration, this can be a fun offense for fantasy.

Jahmyr Gibbs vs. the Cardinals today: 30 touches 207 scrimmage yards 2 touchdowns 37.7 FPTS 💥 bro put on a CLINIC 😭

The source raises the question of whether it is Carson Beck time as a potential replacement for Jacoby Brissett, given Brissett's historically poor 2-15 record and the Cardinals' uninspired offensive performance through five weeks.

The source raises the question of whether it is time to see Gardner Minshew as a potential replacement for Jacoby Brissett, given Brissett's historically poor 2-15 record and the Cardinals' uninspired offensive performance through five weeks.

McBride made the best play of the season for the Cardinals despite the lopsided 45-14 loss to Detroit, scoring a touchdown with 2:11 remaining in the game when the Cardinals were down 45-14, demonstrating individual playmaking ability amid team dysfunction.

Brissett has moved to 2-15 as a starter with a 0.118 win percentage, the worst in Arizona Cardinals history (minimum 8 starts). He threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns against Detroit, but the Cardinals' offensive performance was overshadowed by a 45-14 loss; his second touchdown came with the team already down 24 points in the third quarter, indicating the game was decided well before his late-game scoring.

The McCarthy package was a flop in his Giants debut. McCarthy was on the field for five plays: he ran twice for 2 yards, a shovel pass to Darnell Mooney went for a 5-yard loss (bailed out by a Washington facemask penalty), a screen pass to Malik Nabers for 14 yards was wiped out by an illegal shift, and a zone read handoff to Tyrone Tracy went for a yard. The source notes that while the effort to involve the quarterback run in the offense is appreciated, everything done with McCarthy was predictable and did not help an already struggling run game.

Ball security issues plagued Skattebo on Sunday. He fumbled with the Giants at the Commanders 24-yard line with a first down and the game in their hands in overtime, negating two big runs (a 19-yarder on third-and-2 and a 9-yarder to put the ball in field goal range at the Washington 29-yard line). This is Skattebo's fourth fumble of the season, the most of any running back in the league. The source emphasizes that while Washington's clock mismanagement prevented the Giants from losing, Skattebo's fumble certainly prevented them from winning. Head coach John Harbaugh has emphasized ball security repeatedly.

The star wide receiver was targeted an astounding 20 times against Washington, with Winston and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy ensuring Nabers got the volume he wanted. He caught 11 passes for 121 yards, marking back-to-back 100-yard receiving games. Nabers made a nice grab across the middle for a game-tying 17-yard touchdown with 1:43 to play and had receptions of 16, 17, and 20 yards. While he missed a couple of opportunities including a second-half deep ball that might have been a touchdown, the 20-target volume and consistent production demonstrate his elevated role in the offense.

The tight end caught a career-high 11 passes on 13 targets for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns against Washington. Per NextGen Stats, Likely ran 87.0% of his routes from the slot in Week 5, catching 9 of his 11 targets for 78 yards and 2 touchdowns when operating from the slot. Likely now leads all tight ends with 195 receiving yards from the slot entering the afternoon slate. He also added an 11-yard reception from tight alignment and a 5-yard reception from the backfield. The connection between Likely and Winston, which looked uncertain after Jaxson Dart's season-ending injury, solidified on Sunday.

After an uninspiring Week 2 start, Winston bounced back decisively against Washington, finishing 33 of 54 for 326 yards and three touchdowns. In the second half alone, he went 26 of 38 for 54 yards, making big throw after big throw to carry the Giants' offense without a functional running game. Per NextGen Stats, Winston's 54 pass attempts were the most in a game in his career in which he did not throw an interception, breaking a streak of eight prior 50+ attempt games with at least one interception. The source credits Winston with veteran savvy and notes the Giants emphasized ball security with the risk-taking veteran.

That screen to Christian McCaffrey…. Had he waited for Jake Brendel to make the block, CMC would still be running

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are 4-0 and unbeaten in the AFC, favored by 7.5 points at home against the reeling Chargers in Week 6.

Mahomes previously suffered a torn ACL in Week 15 of 2025 against the Chargers at Arrowhead.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert played behind multiple offensive line backups against Denver and delivered one of the worst performances of his career, posting a 67.0 passer rating with 196 pass yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. He enters Week 6 against a rested Kansas City squad needing to get on track.

Justin Herbert is entering Week 6 coming off one of the worst performances of his career after the Chargers' 23-17 loss to Denver; he posted a 67.0 pass rating with 196 pass yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, and 1 fumble lost while playing behind multiple backups along the offensive line and without two starting wideouts and safety Derwin James.

Mahomes and the rested Kansas City Chiefs (4-0) face a reeling Los Angeles Chargers team (0-5) in Week 6 at Arrowhead Stadium; the Chiefs opened as 7.5-point favorites and have been favored in each game this season after rounding back into form. Mahomes will face a Chargers offense missing multiple starting wideouts and top defensive talent, with backup offensive linemen protecting Chargers QB Justin Herbert.

Baker Mayfield was out for the Cowboys' Week 5 home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a game Dallas lost despite being at home against a formerly winless opponent.

Baker Mayfield was out for the Cowboys' Week 5 loss at home to Tampa Bay, contributing to Dallas's 2-3 record and raising questions about why oddsmakers favor the Cowboys as 1.5-point road favorites against the 3-2 Packers in Week 6.

Kimani Vidal capitalized on a Nix fumble with a 42-yard touchdown run that gave the Chargers a seven-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Justin Herbert struggled for most of the game against Denver's defense, which failed to rattle him until the fourth quarter when the Broncos' defensive front dialed up pressure, forcing turnovers and recording a big fourth down stop.

RJ Harvey had ten catches the previous week but was barely involved on offense against Los Angeles; the source questions why the Broncos didn't try to get the ball in his hands more as a receiver out of the backfield.

Jaylen Waddle was largely missing in action against the Chargers, with the source identifying his lack of impact as one of the biggest disappointments of the season so far.

Courtland Sutton was largely missing in action against the Chargers, with the source identifying his lack of impact as one of the biggest disappointments of the season so far.

Bo Nix and the passing attack were inconsistent throughout the game against Los Angeles; very few explosive plays down the field and dreadful third down conversion attempts, with the offense not recording a chain-moving play until the fourth quarter of the second half.

RJ Harvey had ten catches the previous week but was barely involved on offense against the Chargers; the source questions why the Broncos didn't try to get the ball in his hands as a receiver out of the backfield, suggesting underutilization of a pass-catching option.

Jaylen Waddle was missing in action for most of the game outside of a few plays; the source identifies the lack of impact from Waddle and Courtland Sutton as one of the biggest disappointments of the season.

Courtland Sutton was missing in action for most of the game outside of a few plays; the source identifies the lack of impact from Sutton and Jaylen Waddle as one of the biggest disappointments of the season.

Bo Nix and the passing attack were inconsistent again with very few explosive plays down the field; the source notes they were dreadful on third down conversion attempts and didn't get their first chain-moving play of the second half until the fourth quarter.

Jacoby Brissett with some of the most depressing 23.6 fantasy points I've seen

Justin Herbert now has nine turnovers on the season after being stuffed short on a fourth-and-1 sneak attempt and throwing an interception picked off by safety Brandon Jones; the Chargers' offensive struggles have been a nightmare since Week 1, with Herbert's turnover rate directly contributing to the team's 0-5 record.

Courtland Sutton caught a touchdown pass from Bo Nix on the Broncos' ensuing drive after the Chargers' failed fourth-down attempt, contributing to the fourth-quarter comeback in the 23-17 win.

Bo Nix threw a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton on the ensuing drive after the Chargers' failed fourth-down attempt, capitalizing on a turnover opportunity to help the Broncos secure a 23-17 win and move to 3-2.

Justin Herbert in the 4th quarter this season: -26/47 (55% completion) -287 yards (6.1 YPA) -0 TD -4 INT -11 sacks -38.2 passer rating (you get a 39.6 passer rating if you just spike the ball every play)

Running back Bijan Robinson is propelling Atlanta's red-hot offense heading into their Sunday night matchup against Baltimore; the Falcons will look to attack a Ravens defense that has not been as effective as many hoped to start the season, positioning Robinson as central to Atlanta's offensive game plan.

Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley will face a tough Falcons run defense that will likely force him into obvious passing situations, limiting his ability to lean on the ground game and increasing pressure on his passing accuracy and decision-making in a primetime matchup without Lamar Jackson.

Elijah Sarratt is inactive for Week 5 against Atlanta.

Lamar Jackson is inactive for Week 5 against Atlanta due to an ankle injury.

Sinnott was the intended receiver on the final play call in the Commanders' bungled end-game sequence against the Giants; the play design called for Jayden Daniels to connect with Sinnott on the left side or immediately throw it away if unopened, but Daniels did not execute the play as designed.

White was handed the ball on a run play to the right with no timeouts remaining; he gained two yards on a play that ended with 55 seconds left on the clock, part of the Commanders' failed end-game sequence.

Burks caught a pass from Jayden Daniels that moved the Commanders into field-goal range, going out of bounds at the Giants' 26-yard line with 1 minute, 2 seconds remaining in the game.

Daniels failed to execute the final play call against the Giants, which was designed for him to connect with a receiver on the left side (likely tight end Ben Sinnott) or immediately throw it away if unopened. Instead, he moved around the backfield, never threw it away, and was tackled as seconds ticked away, leading to a 27-27 tie. Head coach Dan Quinn said the sequencing did not fall on Daniels but acknowledged the quarterback did not follow the two options (outside throw or clock it), though Quinn took responsibility for putting Daniels in that spot.

Sinnott was the intended receiver on the Commanders' final play against the Giants. The play call designed by head coach Dan Quinn required Jayden Daniels to connect with Sinnott on the left side or immediately throw the ball out of bounds if Sinnott wasn't open. Daniels did neither, instead moving around the backfield and being tackled as time expired, resulting in a 27-27 tie.

White was handed the ball on a critical late-game run despite the Commanders having no timeouts remaining. He gained two yards on the play, which ended with 55 seconds left on the clock. Head coach Dan Quinn later acknowledged this was a mistake in situational awareness, saying the team should have clocked the ball earlier instead of trying to gain additional yards for a shorter field goal attempt. The run consumed valuable time before the final play that resulted in a tie.

Burks caught a pass from Jayden Daniels late in the game against the Giants that moved the Commanders into field-goal range. He went out of bounds at the Giants' 26-yard line with 1 minute, 2 seconds remaining, setting up what should have been a 43-yard field goal attempt. The catch was part of Washington's drive to get into comfortable kicking distance, though the subsequent end-game sequence resulted in a tie.

Daniels failed to execute the final play call in a critical end-game sequence against the Giants. The play was designed for him to connect with tight end Ben Sinnott on the left side or immediately throw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock with 12 seconds remaining. Instead, Daniels moved around the backfield, never threw it away, and was tackled as seconds ticked away, resulting in a 27-27 tie. Head coach Dan Quinn acknowledged that the sequencing didn't fall on Daniels but emphasized the quarterback's responsibility: "We have to stop the clock. We have to know it's an o-zone situation. We have to relay that as an offense. It starts from everybody, (from) the top down, but ultimately, it's on me." Quinn later clarified that the out-of-bounds throw or clock decision should have come from the sideline, not the quarterback.

Engram was targeted twice in key moments: a 34-yard deep reception down the middle in the first quarter that set up Denver's opening touchdown, and a fourth-quarter reception where he fought his way from the five-yard line down to the one-yard line to set up a first-and-goal situation in the red zone.

Nix completed a 34-yard deep pass to Evan Engram down the middle in the first quarter, setting up Denver's opening touchdown drive; later in the fourth quarter, he executed a designed run for six yards and connected with Jaylen Waddle for a first down inside the red zone before finding Courtland Sutton wide open on a slant for the game-tying touchdown.

Jaylen Waddle was targeted twice in Denver's fourth-quarter comeback: first on a deep pass in the second quarter after a defensive pass interference call on Los Angeles, and again in the final drive where he caught a pass outside for a first down inside the red zone to help set up the game-tying touchdown.

Courtland Sutton scored the game-tying touchdown on a slant pass from Bo Nix in the fourth quarter after being targeted for the first time in the game, fighting his way for 13 yards and a first down on that play. Despite committing offensive pass interference in the second quarter that took Denver out of field goal range, Sutton came through in the clutch when it mattered most.

J.K. Dobbins scored Denver's opening touchdown, punching it in two plays after Evan Engram's 34-yard reception to put Denver up 7-0 early. Later in the fourth quarter, Dobbins took the first handoff for a big 14-yard gain to the nine yard line to set up a first and goal situation in the final scoring drive.

Evan Engram was a key target for Bo Nix in Denver's comeback, catching a 34-yard deep pass down the middle of the field to set up the opening touchdown drive, then later catching a five-yard pass on fourth and goal from the seven yard line where he fought his way down to the one yard line to set up a first and goal situation in the final drive.

Nix completed 10 of 16 passes for 82 yards and a 75.5 passer rating at halftime, indicating a sluggish offensive performance. He also took a sack and fumbled (recovered by the Broncos) and was hit with immediate pressure on several plays, including a holding penalty that was declined.

Dobbins scored a touchdown early in the game and was featured in the Broncos' offensive game plan, including a 4th-and-inches toss that was ruled a first down after review.

The source notes that Denver's pass rush should be able to pin their ears back against the Chargers, with the implication that Herbert will face significant pressure given LA's depleted offensive line. Herbert did show mobility with several scrambles and jukes during the game, but the Broncos' defensive line generated consistent pressure, including sacks from Nik Bonitto and DJ Jones.

Lloyd should continue to be part of a committee at running back and can be deployed as a No. 3 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Lloyd rushed for 31 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries against Chicago in Week 5; despite limited running room this season, he reached the end zone twice and should continue as part of a running back committee.
