The Rams D/ST allowed 37 points while notching one sack and forcing two turnovers in a 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Los Angeles had a tough time slowing the Bills offense, especially on the ground as Buffalo racked up 234 rushing yards. The Rams did recover a James Cook fumble in overtime. The Rams will look to bounce back against the Cardinals in Week 6.

Harrison Mevis missed both of his field-goal attempts but added four extra points in a 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: It was a rough day for the Los Angeles kicker as Mevis had a potential game-winning field-goal attempt in overtime blocked by the Bills. Earlier in the game he misfired on a 50-yard attempt. Mevis has made just five of his nine field-goal tries this season. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Rams try out some other options at the kicker position in the near future due to Mevis' struggles.

Tyler Higbee caught five of his six targets for 83 yards in a 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Higbee finished second on the Rams in receiving on Monday night, behind only Puka Nacua. The veteran tight end has earned a larger role in the team's offense thanks to some injuries in the LA tight-end room, having caught 18 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown over his past three contests. Higbee is looking like a solid fantasy option heading into Week 6 vs. Arizona.

Davante Adams caught five of his seven targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Adams found the end zone twice in the high-scoring loss on Monday night. He kicked off the scoring for LA with a four-yard grab in the second quarter and later came back to add a five-yard catch for a score. Adams now has 27 catches for 441 yards and four touchdowns through five games for the Rams. He will be a solid WR2 in Week 6 vs. the Cardinals.

Puka Nacua caught 17 of his 24 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for nine yards in a 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Nacua drew an insane 24 targets, putting him third all-time in a single game in the NFL behind only Brandon Marshall (28) and Chris Chambers (26). The veteran wideout also found the end zone on a two-yard pass from Matthew Stafford in the fourth quarter. Nacua now has 31 catches for 337 yards and one touchdown in just three games this season. He will be a top-three fantasy WR in Week 6 vs. the Cardinals.

Blake Corum carried the ball five times for 19 yards and a touchdown while catching three of his four targets for 53 yards in a 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: While still playing behind starter Kyren Williams, Corum turned in his most productive game of the year in the Monday night loss. He found the end zone for his first touchdown of the season on a one-yard run in the third quarter. Corum will remain a top fantasy handcuff behind Williams, but he is still just a low-end flex option in Week 6 vs. the Cardinals.

Kyren Williams carried the ball 16 times for 49 yards and a touchdown while catching six of his eight targets for 27 yards in a 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Williams was mostly bottled up on the ground by the Buffalo defense on Monday night, but he still managed to punch in a one-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. The Rams' newfound willingness to use Williams in the passing attack this year has been an added bonus as he already has 27 catches through five games, putting him just nine grabs shy of setting a new career-high. Williams will be a locked-in RB1 in fantasy in Week 6 vs. the Cardinals.

Matthew Stafford completed 40 of his 54 pass attempts for 383 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Stafford turned in a huge game in the Monday night loss to Buffalo, but he couldn't put any points on the board in overtime. The veteran quarterback threw two touchdown passes to Davante Adams, while his third went to Puka Nacua. Stafford has now thrown for 1,572 yards, nine touchdowns, and six interceptions through five games. He will be a solid QB1 in fantasy in Week 6 vs. the Cardinals.

The Bills D/ST allowed 34 points while picking up one sack in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Buffalo's defense struggled to slow the Rams in the game, although they toughened up in overtime, holding LA scoreless. The Bills will look for a better fantasy performance in Week 6 vs. the Raiders.

Tyler Bass made all three of his field-goal attempts and hit two of his three extra points in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Bass hit field goals from 49, 23, and 45 yards out in the win. His 45-yard attempt won the game for the Bills with two minutes left in overtime. Bass has now hit all 10 of his field-goal attempts this season. He will take on the Raiders in Week 6.

Dawson Knox caught one of his three targets for a six-yard gain in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Knox turned in another slow day as he has yet to go over two catches or 13 receiving yards in a game thus far. Overall, the veteran tight end has seven catches for 36 yards and a touchdown through five games. He will not be a strong fantasy option in Week 6 vs. the Raiders.

Dalton Kincaid caught one of his two targets for a seven-yard gain and added a two-point conversion catch in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Kincaid was quiet on Monday night, his second straight slow outing. After starting the season hot, Kincaid has just two catches for 14 yards over his past two contests. Overall, the veteran tight end has 16 catches for 277 yards and one touchdown through five games. He will be a low-end TE1 in Week 6 against the Raiders.

Khalil Shakir caught all three of his targets for 80 yards in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Shakir led the Bills in receiving, doing most of his damage on a 57-yard catch early in overtime. Shakir now has 18 catches for 256 yards and no touchdowns through his team's first five games. He will be a flex option in fantasy heading into Week 6 vs. the Raiders.

Keon Coleman caught one of his two targets for a seven-yard touchdown in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Coleman made his only catch count as he hauled in Josh Allen's lone touchdown pass late in the third quarter. It was still a disappointing game for Coleman, who was expected to see a larger target share with DJ Moore (shoulder) inactive. Coleman will be on the flex radar in fantasy in Week 6 vs. the Raiders if Moore isn't ready to return to the field.

Ty Johnson caught all four of his targets for 72 yards in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson didn't see a carry in the contest but he finished second on the Bills in receiving yards in the exciting win. The veteran running back continues to be a threat in the passing attack as this was his second game this season with at least 50 receiving yards. Johnson will now prepare to take on the Raiders in Week 6.

James Cook III carried the ball 25 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns while catching his lone target for a seven-yard gain in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Cook fumbled twice, losing one, on Monday night, but he still managed to post a dominant fantasy outing. The veteran running back rushed for touchdowns of 17 and five yards in the contest. He now has 532 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the season. Cook will be a strong RB1 in fantasy heading into Week 6 vs. the Raiders.

Josh Allen completed 12 of his 19 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 121 yards and a rushing touchdown on the ground in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Allen didn't have his best passing game but he dominated the Rams on the ground in the thrilling Monday night win as he easily set a season-high in rushing yards. His lone touchdown pass went to Keon Coleman in the third quarter. Allen has thrown for 1,249 yards, seven touchdowns, and four interceptions through five games this season. He will remain a top-three fantasy quarterback heading into Week 6 against the Raiders.
