Commanders | Jayden Daniels throws for 231 yards, TD Sun Oct 5, 09:36 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) completed 15-of-26 passes for 231 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in his return in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He rushed eight times for 39 yards.
Link to storyNew England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson was quickly ruled out with a knee injury in Sunday night's game against the Bills.
Footballguys view: Gibson was returning a kickoff and took a heavy hit from Bills cornerback Cam Lewis right on his legs. Gibson also lost the football as he absorbed the blow, but TreVeyon Henderson recovered the fumble. Losing Gibson for the night puts the Patriots into a bit of a bind, as Rhamondre Stevenson fumbled again in the first quarter, and Henderson had some issues in pass protection during his first month in the NFL. Before his injury, Gibson had been getting most of the offensive snaps after Stevenson put the ball on the ground. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 29 of his 33 passes for 379 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 15 yards in a 38-35 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5.
Footballguys view: Mayfield was impressive, completing 9 of his 11 passes of 10-plus air yards for 227 yards and two touchdowns, the third-most downfield passing yards in a game this season. Mayfield's success came despite being pressured on 34.2 percent of his dropbacks. He completed 8 of 9 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown under pressure. He now has the fourth-most deep passing yards (681) and the third-most passing yards under pressure (440). Lock Mayfield back into the top-10 regardless of the matchup. The Buccaneers face the Jaguars in Week 6. |

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. had four receptions for a team-best 98 yards on five targets in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans.
Footballguys view: Harrison picked up in the first quarter where he left off in the fourth quarter of Week 4. He had 79 yards on three catches in the first quarter and finished with 98 yards on four catches on five targets, giving him the third-best game of his career. He'll hope to carry that success over to a Week 6 matchup with the Colts. |
The Los Angeles Chargers appear to have an injury concern with running back Omarion Hampton. According to Daniel Popper of The Athletic, the rookie running back was spotted wearing a walking boot on his left ankle after the Chargers' 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. "Omarion Hampton just left the locker room with a walking boot on his left ankle," Popper reported.
Footballguys view: Hampton's status for the Week 6 game versus the Miami Dolphins is now in question. After two big games in a row, Hampton regressed a bit against Washington, as he tallied 12 carries for 44 scoreless yards and caught six passes for 26 yards in what was a bad afternoon for Los Angeles' offense. The Chargers are already dealing with a significant injury at running back after the team lost Najee Harris for the season with a torn Achilles' tendon. If Hampton is forced to miss time, Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins are next men up. |
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught six of his 10 targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-24 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 5.
Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Chase and the offense got off to a slow start. The star wideout had only four catches on eight targets for 31 yards at halftime. That changed, as Chase took two second-half targets for 15 and 64-yard touchdowns. Although his weekly outlook is hurt by the subpar play of Jake Browning, Chase is capable of overcoming that and delivering high-end production any given Sunday. His next opportunity is against the Packers in Week 6. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter rushed 18 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, and he added five receptions for 22 yards on his five targets.
Footballguys view: With Trey Benson going on IR this past week, Carter became the leading candidate to take over on early downs. As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke noted, Carter did just this, taking the same role James Conner had early in the season and Benson had last week. Emari Demercado remained the third-down back, while also playing most of the two-minute drills. Bam Knight was involved as the primary backup on early downs, as well as taking some snaps in two-minute drill situations. Still, fantasy investors should view Carter as the primary option heading into this week's game against the Colts. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Jake Browning completed 26 of his 40 passes for 251 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in a 37-24 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 5. He also added 31 rushing yards.

Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado had three runs for 81 yards in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, including a 71-yard run. He appeared to have a touchdown, but after further review, it was deemed he lost control of the ball just before reaching the goal line.
Footballguys view: With Michael Carter playing an early-down role, Demercado remained the third-down back, while also playing most of the two-minute drills. Bam Knight also became involved as the primary backup on early downs, as well as taking some snaps in two-minute drill situations. Based on usage, Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke believes Demercado can be dropped in most leagues. While he might catch a few passes going forward, his fantasy value isn't any better now than it was when Benson was healthy. "If anything," Jahnke wrote, "his fumble could lead to a decrease in snaps." |
Detroit Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson finished with four tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and five quarterback hits in a 37-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray completed 23-of-31 passes for 220 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, while running four times for 25 yards and a touchdown with one lost fumble.
Footballguys view: Murray said "we shot ourselves in the foot" while speaking to reporters after Sunday's loss to the Titans, and there was an actual foot injury to discuss as well. Murray left the game and briefly went to the locker room after hurting his foot in the third quarter. Jacoby Brissett played two snaps before Murray was cleared to return. "We gotta see," Murray said when asked about the injury. Murray said it might be the worst loss he's experienced, and the fallout will be even worse if the foot is an issue. The Cardinals play the Colts in Week 6. |

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 12 times for 54 yards and caught two passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in a 37-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5.
Footballguys view: Gibbs and running mate David Montgomery now have 14 games in which they both have scored a TD, which ties the most for a running back duo in NFL history with Cowboys backs Emmitt Smith and Daryl Johnston. They'll try to add to their total against the Chiefs in Week 6. |

Tennessee Titans WR Chimere Dike had two catches for 17 yards on five targets in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals, while adding four kick returns for 136 yards and three punt returns for 33 yards.
Link to storyDetroit Lions RB David Montgomery rushed 18 times for 65 yards and a touchdown, threw a three-yard touchdown pass and caught a six-yard pass in a 37-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5.
Footballguys view: Montgomery, a native of Cincinnati, wowed his hometown with the touchdown pass, thrown from Wildcat formation, and his score on the ground. It was a great rebound after Montgomery struggled against the Browns last week. In addition, Montgomery and his backfield mate Jahmyr Gibbs now have 14 games in which they both have scored a TD, which ties the most for a running back duo in NFL history with Cowboys backs Emmitt Smith and Daryl Johnston. The Lions play the Chiefs in Week 6. |

Link to storyDetroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 19 of his 23 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5.
Footballguys view: It was an efficient and effective performance for Goff, who avoided interceptions to finish with a 153.0 passer rating. He lost a fumble and was sacked four times in the game, but for the most part, fantasy investors got what they needed from the QB. Goff and the Lions face the Chiefs in Week 6. |

Tennessee Titans TE Chig Okonkwo finished with four receptions for 48 yards on five targets in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley registered five receptions for 131 yards on 10 targets in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Footballguys view: As ESPN's Mike Clay noted, Ridley has had a rough start to the season partially due to brutal matchups (with Denver's Pat Surtain II, the Colts' Charvarius Ward, and Houston's Derek Stingley Jr.). Ridley had a better matchup against the Cardinals and the results give some hope to investors going forward. The Titans play the Raiders in Week 6. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown posted five receptions for 43 yards on eight targets in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos.
Footballguys view: Brown, who acknowledged some frustration with his role this season, emphasized he wants to be called upon in big moments and to get the offense going. Against Denver, Brown delivered a solid performance despite being shadowed by Broncos CB Pat Surtain II for much of the day, while DeVonta Smith went over 100 receiving yards for the first time this season. The offense went cold for a long stretch in the second half, however, as Denver mounted its comeback. Philly should have better luck against the Giants on Thursday night in Week 6. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith posted eight receptions for a game-high 114 yards on 10 targets in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos.
Footballguys view: Smith rose to the occasion as the Eagles went pass-heavy for the first time this season. It probably won't happen again, but Smith should still be in Week 6 lineups against the Giants sometimes suspect secondary on Thursday night. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB AJ Dillon ran twice for 12 yards with no targets in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos, while RB Will Shipley ran once for no gain with a 4-yard reception on two targets.
