Dare Ogunbowale

HOU Running Back #33

Dare Ogunbowale rushed 15 times for 30 yards in Houston’s Week 5 win over the Bills, adding six catches for 57 yards on seven targets.

If this is the split the Texans are going to use next week against the Patriots, Ogunbowale should have fantasy value if Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce remain out. Ogunbowale is completely miscast as a between-the-tackles back, as the Texans noticed when they ran him into the line on a fourth-down go in the first half. But he’s proven capable of PPR scam lines in the C.J. Stroud offense and he can find a productive run here or there. Probably not worth a huge FAAB investment, but if Mixon and Pierce continue to sit, Ogunbowale could find himself in an RB3-esque role for Week 6.
Cam Akers

HOU Running Back #22

Cam Akers rushed nine times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s Week 5 win over Buffalo, adding two catches for five yards on three targets.

Akers was surprisingly thrown into a timeshare with Dare Ogunbowale, but managed to salvage the day from a fantasy perspective with a touchdown. Neither back has shown a lot with their opportunities and the Texans have to be eagerly awaiting the return of Joe Mixon from his ankle injury. Mixon and Dameon Pierce’s recoveries will mean a lot for Akers’ fantasy playability against New England next week, but the fact that he shared the backfield really blunts any kind of volume-based argument for Akers.
Trevor Lawrence

JAX Quarterback #16

Trevor Lawrence completed 28-of-34 passes for 371 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the Jaguars’ 37-34, Week 5 win over the Colts.

Embattled amidst the Jaguars’ 0-4 start, hundred-millionaire 2.5x over Lawrence locked in for a career-high yardage performance. His 10.9 yards per attempt were also 3.2 more than he had managed in any previous 2024 start. The multi-score effort was just his second, though second in two weeks. He had an 85-yard touchdown strike to Brian Thomas Jr. where Lawrence displayed confidence BTJ would run by the DB, as well as a four-yard end zone cash-in to Brenton Strange. He found Christian Kirk for a non-scoring, 61-yard completion where Lawrence hit Kirk after he ran by the entire defense. Put another way, Lawrence finally started hitting the big throws he’s been missing all year. We’ll see if he can get a hot streak going in Week 6 against a Bears defense that has been really tough on opposing passers.
C.J. Stroud

HOU Quarterback #7

C.J. Stroud completed 28-of-38 passes for 331 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in Houston’s 23-20 Week 5 win over the Bills.

He added 27 rushing yards on the ground. The Texans struggled to move the ball late in the game without Nico Collins, as Stroud was picked off deep in Buffalo territory, fumbled deep in Texans territory, and was called for an intentional grounding that pushed the Texans out of field goal range in the fourth quarter. Stroud managed a key five-yard pass on the final drive of the game to give Ka’imi Fairbairn enough space to drill a winning field goal. It wasn’t a pretty game for fantasy managers, but Stroud should remain on the QB1 line for Week 6’s matchup against the Patriots.
Antonio Gibson

NE Running Back #4

Antonio Gibson had six rushes for 52 yards in the Patriots’ Week 5 loss against the Dolphins, adding one catch for four yards.

Gibson saw the Patriots’ first rushing attempt after head coach Jerod Mayo publicly benched Rhamondre Stevenson for fumbling four times in the season’s first month. Stevenson took over from there, leading the New England backfield with 16 touches before leaving in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Gibson remains the team’s No. 2 back unless Stevenson misses time with his knee issue.
Ja'Marr Chase

CIN Wide Receiver #1

Ja’Marr Chase caught 10-of-12 targets for 193 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals’ Week 5 overtime loss to the Ravens.

The 193 yards were the third most of Chase’s increasingly-illustrious career. The two-score performance was his second in three weeks, with all five of his touchdowns coming over the past three games. Amazingly, he also ceded two touchdowns to Tee Higgins, while today was the first time this year he reached 10-plus targets. The big play was a fourth quarter receiver screen where Chase turned a swerving target into a swerving 70-yard YACmaster. His other score was a 41-yarder where a barely-executed Joe Burrow play fake still allowed Chase to get free on an in-breaking route over the middle deep. His speed did the rest. You could argue Chase still isn’t seeing enough targets, but his efficiency and play-making have been through the roof this season. The Giants are an excellent Week 6 road matchup.
Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

Lamar Jackson completed 26-of-42 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns in the Ravens’ 41-38, Week 5 overtime win over the Bengals, adding 12 carries for 55 yards.

The 348 yards passing were the third most of Jackson’s career, while his four scores almost doubled his 2024 total. Relentlessly targeting tight ends not named Mark Andrews, he found Isaiah Likely for six- and one-yard scoring strikes, Charlie Kolar for a two-yarder, and Rashod Bateman from 16 yards out. The six-yarder to Likely was the play of the game, with Jackson turning a fumbled snap into a cross-body beauty into the end zone. His longest completion was a 55-yarder to Kolar where the seam man earned a free release off the line and Jackson did not miss. Jackson did commit two fumbles, losing one, while also taking a safety. It wasn’t a perfect day. But it was a reminder he can win football games every which way. The Commanders are an A+ Week 6 matchup.
Keon Coleman

BUF Wide Receiver #0

Keon Coleman caught 1-of-5 targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s Week 5 loss to the Texans.

Buffalo went for a fourth-and-5 on the Houston 49 in the third quarter and Josh Allen found Coleman underneath on a curl route. He was able to avoid Kamari Lassiter and, as the Texans had blitzed, had a fairly clear sideline path to the house. That was his only catch on the day, and he embarrassingly took one off the back of his helmet on a throw where he believed that it was a running play. Coleman remains boom-or-bust for fantasy purposes, and Week 6 against a Jets defense that just cooled down Sam Darnold probably isn’t an ideal position to start him in most leagues.
James Cook

BUF Running Back #4

James Cook rushed 20 times for 82 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s Week 5 loss to the Texans, adding two catches for 17 yards on three targets.

It looked like it would be a huge day for Cook after the first two drives, where he received six carries and had a 24-yard-catch before some 6OL runs set the Bills up with first-and-goal. But Cook was turned away on first-and-goal for a minus-one yard loss and the Texans rushing defense woke up a bit afterwards. Still, he scored and maintained a huge portion of the Buffalo carries. Cook will remain a borderline RB1 heading into Buffalo’s Week 6 matchup against the Jets.
Raheem Mostert

MIA Running Back #31

Raheem Mostert had 19 rushes for 98 yards in the Dolphins’ Week 5 win against the Patriots, adding two catches for 18 yards.

Mostert took over as Miami’s lead back with De’Vone Achane sidelined with a brain injury. Coming off a chest injury, Mostert looked as explosive as ever, ripping off a few lengthy runs, including an 18-yarder in the second half. Jaylen Wright had 13 rushes behind Mostert in an extremely run-heavy game plan. Achane will have the bye week to clear the league’s concussion protocol, but if he doesn’t, Mostert would be a top-12 fantasy option in Week 7.
