Jameson Williams caught 2-of-4 targets for 47 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: Williams only caught two passes on Sunday, but he was able to get into the end zone on both of them, which left him with a great fantasy total in this win over the Cardinals. He is expected to continue to be a boom-or-bust fantasy option on a week-to-week basis moving forward.

Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 6-of-11 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: The star wideout had an okay game on Sunday. He racked up 69 yards in an easy win over the Cardinals, but he wasn't able to get into the end zone at all, which left him with a mediocre fantasy total to his standards. He has had a great start to the season overall and should continue to be a high-end fantasy option moving forward.

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed the ball 25 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns and caught five passes for 56 yards in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: Gibbs had yet another dominant game on Sunday. He logged over 200 total yards and two touchdowns in an easy win over the Cardinals as he continues the historic pace that he has been producing at through the first five weeks of the season. There's no reason to think he will slow down anytime soon, so fantasy managers should continue to value him as a top-tier fantasy asset for as long as he remains healthy and on the field.

Jared Goff completed 19-of-30 passing attempts for 271 yards and three touchdowns and added another in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: Goff was able to lead the Lions to an easy win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He was very efficient over the course of the afternoon, racking up nearly 300 total yards and four touchdowns, which left him with a fantastic fantasy total. He projects to be a quality fantasy option again in a home matchup against the Packers next week.

Fantasy Impact: Williams worked through some practice drills before Sunday's blowout loss in Green Bay and is reportedly "close" to returning. If all continues to progress at practice this week, the third-year QB could be back at the helm of the Bears offense on Sunday in Atlanta.

Fantasy Impact: As feared, Hargrave tore his Achilles tendon in Sunday's game. This is certainly a blow to the Packers' defensive-line depth. Chris McClellan and Jonathan Ford should see an uptick in snaps.

The Packers D/ST registered four sacks while also forcing five turnovers (three interceptions, two fumble recoveries) in a 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: The defense took advantage of a Chicago offense forced into using Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum behind center, holding the offense to 246 offensive yards in the win. The unit will look to slow down an explosive Dallas Cowboys offense in Week 6.

Trey Smack converted one of his three field goal attempts as well as two of his three extra point attempts to finish with five points in the Packers’ 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Smack has struggled to convert consistently of late, missing kicks in two of the last three games. The kicker will look to get back on track in a Week 6 contest against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Bears D/ST recorded two sacks while failing to force any turnovers in a 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: The defense struggled to slow down a surprisingly explosive Green Bay offense, allowing 428 offensive yards as well as multiple touchdowns on the ground and through the air. The unit will look to get back on track against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6.

Cairo Santos missed his only field goal attempt while making his lone extra point attempt in the Bears’ 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Santos has taken advantage of a strong Chicago offense early on, recording nine points or more in three of five games. The kicker will look for another impactful performance in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Dolphins' D/ST recovered two fumbles and allowed 31 points in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact: Miami's defense had a rough game on Sunday. They allowed Cincinnati to score 31 points over the course of the afternoon, which led to a loss at home for the Dolphins. This unit should not be started moving forward, even in the best of matchups.

Zay Flowers came up with 8-of-9 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 30-23 OT win over the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: Flowers now has 16 grabs on 19 targets over the last two weeks, as he remains a PPR mainstay for fantasy managers. He did miss a game back in Week 2, but in the four that he's played, the fourth-year receiver has averaged 6.5 receptions for more than 100 yards. Flowers is a WR2 at worst in standard fantasy formats right now.

The Commanders D/ST registered two sacks while also forcing two turnovers (two fumble recoveries) in a 27-27 tie with the New York Giants in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: The defense was the epitome of bend don’t break Sunday, allowing 408 offensive yards in the tie. The unit will be difficult to trust against a strong San Francisco 49ers offense in Week 6.

Drew Stevens converted both of his field goal attempts as well as one of his two extra point attempts in the Commanders’ 27-27 tie with the New York Giants in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Stevens has battled consistency issues to this point in the season, missing kicks in four of five contests. The kicker remains one of the more risky options in associated formats ahead of a Week 6 contest with the San Francisco 49ers.

Riley Patterson went 1-for-2 on his extra-point attempts and made his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact: Patterson left one point on the field on Sunday after missing one of his extra-point attempts. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him from a fantasy perspective moving forward.

Rashod Bateman hauled in 5-of-6 targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: With Tyler Huntley at QB, Bateman recorded his second-highest catch and yardage totals of the season. Bateman finished second on the team behind Zay Flowers in receptions Sunday night, and he's now averaged four per game over the last four weeks. Bateman is also averaging 14.6 yards per catch with one touchdown on the season. He's firmly in the flex conversation going forward.

The Giants D/ST recorded five sacks while failing to force any turnovers in a 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: The defense struggled to stop Washington on the ground, allowing 202 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on the day. The unit will look to offer more impactful results against an inconsistent New Orleans Saints offense in Week 6.

Kevin Coleman Jr. hauled in 3-of-7 targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie made his mark in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He caught three passes over the course of the afternoon, one of which he was able to turn into a touchdown. He isn't likely to be a good fantasy option moving forward, but he could continue to be an involved member of this offense for as long as Caleb Douglas (ankle) remains out of the lineup.

Dominic Zvada converted all three of his extra point attempts while missing three of his five field goal attempts to finish with nine points in the Giants’ 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Zvada has made the most of increased opportunities of late despite the three misses Sunday, recording nine or more points in each of his last three contests. The kicker will look to offer more consistency in a Week 6 contest against the New Orleans Saints.

Devontez Walker caught both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 30-23 OT win against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: Walker only has four receptions in the season, but he came up with the biggest one of the game for the Ravens on Sunday night. With less than one minute to go in regulation and the Ravens trailing 23-15, Walker came up with a seven-yard TD grab from QB Tyler Huntley. The Ravens would convert the ensuing two-point try and eventually win in overtime. Walker had his moment in this one, but he's well behind multiple other receivers in the Baltimore passing attack.
