Game Recaps


Erick All Jr. caught three passes for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact: All was technically Cincinnati's second leading receiver on Sunday, despite racking up just 25 yards over the course of the afternoon. He has showcases potential but isn't expected to be a relevant fantasy option moving forward.


Tanner Hudson hauled in three passes for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Hudson was able to contribute well on Sunday. He caught three passes on the day, and while that only turned into 14 yards, he was able to get into the end zone for a touchdown on one of those catches. He is not expected to be fantasy relevant moving forward, however.


Samaje Perine rushed the ball 14 times for 68 yards and caught two passes for ten yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Perine had a good game on Sunday. He was Cincinnati's leading rusher against the Dolphins and actually saw more overall carries than Chase Brown, who usually acts as the team's RB1. The veteran could be relevant moving forward if he can continue to accumulate significant touches on this offense moving forward.


Oronde Gadsden II failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: Even with the Chargers' receiving corps a bit beaten up, Gadsden was a non-factor for the offense. This came a week after catching a season-high five passes for 36 yards. Gadsden, as with the Chargers' offense on the whole, just cannot be depended on at present.


Dohnte Meyers quiet in win Sunday

By Leo Sells

Dohnte Meyers caught two passes for just 12 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Meyers has flashed some potential recently, but he wasn't able to build on his momentum on Sunday, finishing with just 12 yards in a win over the Dolphins. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high hopes that he will be fantasy relevant anytime soon.


Mike Gesicki caught 1-of-2 targets for four yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Gesicki was pretty uninvolved on Sunday in general, but he was able to leave his mark on the game by connecting with QB Joe Burrow on a short four-yard touchdown. He still didn't end with a good fantasy total, however, and should not be started in most leagues moving forward.


Tee Higgins caught 2-of-4 targets for just 22 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Higgins was dealing with several different injuries at practice throughout the week, but the team cleared him to play for Sunday's game. He didn't end up producing well, finishing with just 22 scoreless yards on two catches in a win over the Dolphins. He should have a good opportunity to get healthy during Cincinnati's bye week this week, however, so fantasy managers should expect him to bounce back after that.


Cameron Dicker made his only field-goal attempt and both of his PATs in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: The Chargers' anemic offense just hasn't given Dicker enough chances to be a real fantasy asset among kickers through the first five weeks. The fifth-year pro is 7-of-9 on field-goal attempts through five games with a long of 42 yards. He's made all nine of his PATs to this point.


Ja'Marr Chase hauled in 6-of-10 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Chase was able to clear the NFL's concussion protocols prior to game time on Sunday and looked great in Cincinnati's win over the Dolphins. He led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards, and he was also able to get into the end zone on one occasion. He is expected to continue to be a top-tier fantasy option over the rest of the regular season, after the team has their bye week in Week 6.


Chase Brown rushed the ball 13 times for 39 yards and caught 3-of-4 targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: The young running back wasn't able to get much going on Sunday. He totaled 50 yards over his 17 opportunities, and he wasn't able to get into the end zone at all, which left him with an underwhelming fantasy total. He should bounce back and look better after Cincinnati's bye week this week, but his production may continue to be inconsistent moving forward.


The Chargers D/ST gave up 23 points on just 224 yards of total offense, coming up with one sack and a fumble in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: The Chargers defense held the division-rival Broncos in check for most of Sunday's game. The unit didn't make too many impact plays for fantasy purposes, but it did put in a solid effort overall. The offense remains the problem for the Chargers. The middle-tier defensive unit has a tough trip to Kansas City coming up.


Joe Burrow completed 23-of-32 passing attempts for 190 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Burrow looked great on Sunday. He scored four touchdowns through the air en route to a win over the Dolphins, which left him with a great fantasy total on the day. The Bengals are now heading into their bye week but he should continue to be a great fantasy option when the team is back out on the field.


Bo Nix completed 16 of 27 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: Nix added 10 yards on four carries to his lackluster stat line. It wasn't pretty, but Nix did avoid throwing any picks and led the Broncos to a victory. Through five games, Nix is completing less than 60% of his passes for just over 188 yards per game with a 6-3 TD/INT ratio. He's only gained 35 yards with an additional touchdown on the ground. Nix is a tough start outside of two-QB formats.


J.K. Dobbins ran for 68 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, adding six yards on two receptions in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: Dobbins scored his first touchdown of the season Sunday afternoon. The veteran back also set new season highs in touches and yards. Dobbins has not been very efficient this season, averaging just 3.6 yards on his nearly 13 carries per game, but he remains the workhorse in the Broncos' backfield. Dobbins has a tough matchup coming against the Seahawks in Week 6.


RJ Harvey gained seven yards on three carries and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: A week after coming up with 10 catches, Harvey was blanked in the passing game and limited to just three touches Sunday afternoon. J.K. Dobbins shouldered the load out of the backfield in this victory, making it clear that Harvey is still firmly behind him on the depth chart. Harvey is a worthwhile handcuff to stash, but he is game-script dependent and unreliable as long as Dobbins remains healthy.


The Seahawks D/ST allowed 25 points on 269 total yards with one interception, two fumble recoveries and three sacks on Sunday against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact: While San Francisco scored 32 points, 7 points came off a fumble by George Holani recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. San Francisco also scored two other touchdowns in the first half off short field from two other turnovers in the first half. They'll face Bo Nix in Denver on Thursday.


Jason Myers has big day Sunday

By Ari Koslow

Jason Myers connected on 5-of-5 field goals and 2-of-2 extra point attempts on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: The Seahawks struggled to put the ball in the end zone on Sunday, which Myers took advantage of. He is now 10-of-10 on field goal attempts on the season.


AJ Barner caught 3-of-5 targets for 20 yards in the Seahawks 32-29 loss against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact: Barner remains off the fantasy radar in his current role.


Cooper Kupp caught 2-of-3 targets for 15 yards in the Seahawks 32-29 loss against the 49ers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: On 4th-and-10 with the game on the line, Kupp caught an 8-yard pass, made one defender miss and dove for the first down. After review, he wound up being short by one yard. He remains off the fantasy radar.


Rashid Shaheed caught 2-of-4 targets for 23 yards in the Seahawks 32-29 loss against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact: Shaheed remains off the fantasy radar in his current role. The Seahawks passing offense remains Jaxon Smith-Njigba or no one every week right now.
