  • Cooper Rush QB | ATL

    Ravens' Cooper Rush: Picked off three times

    Rush completed 14 of 20 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

    Rush led the Ravens on a decent first drive that resulted in a field goal, completing all five of his pass attempts for 59 yards. Things imploded from there, however, as the Ravens turned in consecutive three-and-outs to end the first half before Rush threw three picks in the final two quarters. The one positive is that Rush was able to complete a long pass to Zay Flowers, salvaging the star receiver's fantasy day. Rush could be lined up for a Week 6 start against the Rams, pending Lamar Jackson's (hamstring) recovery.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Season-high passing yardage in loss

    Hurts completed 23 of 38 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added two rushes for three yards in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Despite the Broncos' standout secondary and the fact they held a lead for a significant portion of the game, the Eagles curiously took a pass-centric approach Sunday, affording Saquon Barkley a scant six carries. Hurts recorded season highs in completions, pass attempts and passing yards, while also recording multiple touchdown tosses for the third consecutive game by connecting with Dallas Goedert (two yards) and Barkley (47 yards) in the second and third quarters, respectively. However, Hurts also took a season-high six sacks, and he threw incomplete on back-to-back plays from the Broncos' 29-yard line to finish the game. Hurts was also much less involved than usual as a runner, but he draws an excellent matchup on a short week when the Eagles visit the Giants on Thursday night to kick off Week 6.

  • Da'Shawn Hand DE | ATL

    Chargers' Da'Shawn Hand: Leaves game with groin injury

    Hand is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a groin injury.

    Hand went to the locker room in the first half after sustaining a groin injury on defense, and he will be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Naquan Jones (coach's decision) inactive, Scott Matlock should see a significant increase in snaps at defensive end opposite Otito Ogbonnia for as long as Hand is out of the game.

  • Cody Simon LB | ARI

    Cardinals' Cody Simon: Questionable to return Sunday

    Simon (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Titans.

    Simon suffered an apparent knee injury in the first half of the contest, placing some doubt on his ability to return. His absence doesn't carry much of an impact defensively for Arizona.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Records receiving TD in loss

    Achane rushed 10 times for 16 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Achane came into the interconference battle with elevated expectations, considering the struggles of the Panthers against the run and the fact Tyreek Hill's (IR, knee) absence was expected to open up even more pass-catching opportunities for the versatile back. The latter partly did come to fruition, as Achane recorded his third-highest reception and target tallies of the season and salvaged his fantasy day with an impressive 10-yard touchdown catch on the first play of the second quarter. However, the speedy back was surprisingly stymied on the ground, leading to a season-low rushing yardage total. Achane's chances of a rebound Week 6 are kind of bleak as well, considering he'll face off with a talented Chargers defense in South Florida.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Finds end zone in blowout win

    Collins recorded four receptions on five targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

    It was a solid day for Collins, highlighted by long gains of 24 and 14 yards as well as a 10-yard touchdown. However, he finished third on the team in receiving yards and was out-targeted by Dalton Schultz. That was likely affected by game script -- C.J. Stroud attempted only 10 passes in the second half and was benched for most of the fourth quarter -- but Collins has now seen six or fewer targets and recorded under 55 receiving yards in three of five games this season. His three touchdowns have covered up some of that lack of volume, but Collins hasn't put up the big reception or target totals expected entering the season.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Hurts neck in Week 5

    Raymond sustained a neck injury during Sunday's game in Cincinnati.

    Raymond was shaken up after a punt return in the second quarter and remained on the turf for a spell before walking off the field under his own power. If he's unable to get back on the field, he'll end Week 5 with no targets and the one punt return for 11 yards.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Impressive with 19 touches

    Jeanty rushed 14 times for 67 yards and brought in five of seven targets for 42 yards in the Raiders' 40-6 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Jeanty ultimately saw his rushing workload somewhat curtailed due to the game getting completely away from the Raiders, but the talented back was impressive again with the opportunities he did see. Those touches helped net new single-game career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the rookie first-round pick, who corroborated the value of keeping him involved in the game even when Las Vegas is on the wrong end of a lopsided score. Jeanty will remain a highly appealing option in all formats in an enticing Week 6 home matchup against the Titans next Sunday afternoon.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Struggles against Texans

    Henry rushed the ball 15 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans. He did not catch his only target.

    Henry predictably couldn't find much rushing room with Cooper Rush under center, with his longest gain of the day going for seven yards. He managed to avoid complete disaster by scoring a one-yard touchdown late in the third quarter, but he's now been held to 50 rushing yards or fewer in four of five games to begin the season. Henry's outlook in Week 6 will be highly dependent on Lamar Jackson's (hamstring) availability, but he has another tough matchup against the Rams.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Unusually low volume in loss

    Barkley rushed six times for 30 yards and brought in all three targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Barkley's extremely sparse rushing volume was especially alarming considering game script never dictated that the Eagles turn away from the run. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year only salvaged his fantasy day with an impressive 47-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession of the second half, and his carry total was his first in single digits in a non-injury-shortened game since Week 15 of the 2023 season while he was still with the Giants. Barkley's receiving score was his first trip to the end zone in a pass-catching capacity this season, and an atypically rested Barkley should be set for much more work in a Week 6 road matchup against his old New York teammates on Thursday night.
