Snaps, Touches, and Targets Report from Week 5 in the NFL

Mick Ciallela sorts through the Week 5 Snaps, Targets, and touches to find the key usage data that can help you win in Week 6 and beyond.

There were a lot of noteworthy performances last week around the NFL. If you paid attention to matchups and usage, you were probably able to read the tea leaves and take advantage. For example, here is what I said about Houston in this same column last week: October should be a better month for this entire passing attack, with games against Atlanta, Kansas City, and Oakland on the horizon. Knowing that would have likely prevented you from benching (or even dropping) Will Fuller.

Of course, not every hand will come up Aces, but having the right process when it comes to decision making and lineup building will, over time, produce winning results. Each week I provide usage information for each running back, wide receiver, and tight end for all 32 NFL ends. This will help you determine which performances are a sign of things to come and which are mere flashes in the pan. I have included all data through Week 5, and the tables can be sorted however you see fit.

NFL Week 5 Snaps, Touches, and Targets Report

The Cardinals earned their first victory of the season as David Johnson had 91 yards on 17 carries. He also led the Cardinals in receiving yards for the second straight game. However, Johnson is currently dealing with a back injury. This is a situation that can prove very tricky for Johnson owners. Chase Edmonds is owned in just 38 percent of Fantrax leagues. He is a must-add in case Johnson misses time due to this ailment. It was a bit disappointing to see Larry Fitzgerald and KeeSean Johnson combine for just 80 receiving yards with Christian Kirk out against a weak Cincinnati defense. A Week 6 date with the Falcons should cure the recent passing game ills. Quarterbacks have a 10:0 TD: INT ratio over the last three games against Atlanta, who was generated just one sack during that stretch.

Atlanta Falcons (Weekly play totals: 78, 66, 61, 80, 74)

Devonta Freeman totaled 30 yards on 11 rushes as his early-season struggles on the ground continue. He did score a receiving touchdown, which has buoyed his production. Both Freeman and Ito Smith had more receiving yards than rushing yards against Houston. The Falcons were playing catch up in the second half and the Texans were content to let Matt Ryan complete passes underneath. Calvin Ridley did get behind the defense for a late score, which vaulted him into high-WR2 value for the week. In a game where 85 points were scored, it was frustrating to see Julio Jones finish with a 3-42-0 line. But better days are ahead, and likely as early as this week. Kevin Peterson will be no match for Jones on the outside. Following back-to-back subpar performances, expect Jones to get back on track this week.

Baltimore Ravens (Weekly play totals: 77, 79, 83, 69, 81)

Player, Position	Week 1 Snaps	Week 1 T&T	Week 2 Snaps	Week 2 T&T	Week 3 Snaps	Week 3 T&T	Week 4 Snaps	Week 4 T&T	Week 5 Snaps	Week 5 T&T

Hayden Hurst, TE	43	4	33	1	32	5	15	2	33	4
Seth Roberts, WR	52	1	27	0	52	2	43	5	53	2

Justice Hill, RB	23	7	16	3	11	4	16	4	5	2
Miles Boykin, WR	18	1	38	3	27	1	21	3	20	0
Chris Moore, WR	32	0	7	0	12	0	11	0	20	0

Mark Ingram was largely inefficient in Baltimore’s overtime victory in Pittsburgh but had 21 touches and a touchdown. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill combined for just eight, so all is well for those who have Ingram rostered. Mark Andrews led the team in targets and receptions, while Marquise Brown scored the team’s lone receiving score. Brown and Andrews have slowed down a bit, but that was to be expected after their unsustainably torrid start. They are both receiving a huge target share and will still be weekly starts going forward more often than not. Willie Snead has now cleared 40 yards in four of five games, but I just cannot buy-in. Snead has just 16 targets this season. Andrews and Brown each have 39.

Buffalo Bills (Weekly play totals: 69, 76, 78, 83, 65)

Robert Foster, WR	15	0	27	2	18	1	IA	IA	IA	IA
Devin Singletary, RB	48	6	25	6	IA	IA	IA	IA	IA	IA

The Bills won another ugly outing as Josh Allen threw for two scores in Tennessee. Frank Gore led the rushing attack with 60 yards but did not score, and ended the week just 36th among running backs in fantasy points. That is the risk of playing him. Devin Singletary has now missed three straight games with what was thought to be a minor ailment. John Brown caught all five of his targets but did not find the end zone. Buffalo traded wide receiver Zay Jones to Oakland following the victory. Duke Williams, who caught all four targets and scored a touchdown after being promoted from the practice squad before the game, may be worth a flier moving forward. Buffalo has some pass-friendly matchups in the coming weeks following their Week 6 bye.

Carolina Panthers (Weekly play totals: 67, 79, 63, 68, 65)

Chris Hogan, WR	5	0	3	1	19	2	8	1	IR	IR

Christian McCaffrey had another ho-hum, 237-yard, three-touchdown performance against a solid Jacksonville defense. His day could have theoretically been even better. McCaffrey limped off late in the game, and Reggie Bonnafon subbed in. Bonnafon scored on a 59-yard run just three plays later. McCaffrey did not return, but it appears he was dealing with simple cramping. He is in no danger of missing any time. D.J. Moore had a promising effort with six receptions for 91 yards. The eight targets were especially nice to see, as he had totaled just seven in Kyle Allen’s previous two starts. Curtis Samuel did not provide as much production but did have six targets and two carries. Greg Olsen has his second consecutive dud following a strong start. He must be thrown back into the TE2 pool.

Chicago Bears (Weekly play totals: 73, 61, 66, 72, 58)

The Bears suffered a stunning loss at the hands of the Oakland Raiders in London on Sunday. For fantasy purposes, it resulted in a mixed bag. David Montgomery toted the ball just 11 times, which was less than expected. He scored a touchdown, but his day was rather pedestrian as he had just 25 rushing yards. He did add an 11-yard reception. With the Bears behind, Tarik Cohen saw a bit more run than usual, but it still did not translate into much production. Cohen had six catches to go along with four carries. The big winner for Chicago was Allen Robinson, who caught seven of eight targets including two touchdowns. Robinson is the best player on this offense, but his numbers are largely tied to quarterback play and game script.

Joe Mixon carried the ball eight times for 60 yards on Cincinnati’s opening drive, including six straight rushes. Zac Taylor then proceeded to give Mixon just 11 carries the rest of the way. Don’t worry – I don’t get it either. Mixon could have had a much bigger day if used properly. Andy Dalton threw two fourth-quarter touchdowns to tie the game which allowed him to finish as a QB1 for the week (10th overall). Tyler Boyd was Dalton’s favorite target, as has been the case all season long. Boyd caught 10 of 14 balls for 123 yards and a touchdown. Boyd now has 53 targets through five games. The high volume has contributed to his current ranking as a low-end WR1 on the year. With AJ Green still out and John Ross on injured reserve, do not expect Boyd to slow down anytime soon.

On Cleveland’s first play from scrimmage, Odell Beckham threw a 20-yard pass to Jarvis Landry. That pass netted Beckham more fantasy points than Baker Mayfield ended up with. The passing game was completely out of sync, with Beckham finishing outside the top 60 despite the slight boost as a passer. Landry did end as the week’s WR30, so it could have been worse. The only productive member of the offense was Nick Chubb, though even he finished as just the RB31. Chubb averaged 5.4 yards per carry but was the victim of negative game script. Antonio Callaway returned from suspension and promptly turned a would-be touchdown into an interception. He was quickly pulled by Freddie Kitchens. Beckham and Landry are having a hard enough time getting going as it is. There is no reason to roster Callaway or any other pass catcher until further notice.

Dak Prescott had a game that looked good on the fantasy stat sheet but was largely aided by game script late in the contest. Because Dallas fell behind early, Ezekiel Elliott only had 12 carries in what was an exploitable matchup. He did manage to score which enabled him to come close enough to expectations to make it palatable. Amari Cooper lit up the Packers for 226 receiving yards and a score. Incredibly, it was only good for third-best among wide receivers in terms of Week 5 fantasy points. Michael Gallup returned after a two-week absence and picked right up where he left off. The second-year wideout had 113 yards and a touchdown. Gallup is averaging 113 yards per game, which would be best among all players had he played in all five games.

Denver’s upset victory of the Chargers looked a lot like some of their games from 2018. Phillip Linsday thoroughly dominated both the Chargers and backfield mate Royce Freeman. Lindsay ran for 114 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and added four receptions for 33 yards. Freeman tacked on 61 rushing yards and two receptions of his own, though the gap between he and Lindsay appears to be widening.  Courtland Sutton had an early 70-yard catch and run for a touchdown. He has really come on as of late and is currently a top-10 fantasy wide receiver. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Sanders has gone in the other direction. Sanders is still holding on to WR2 value on the year but has failed to clear 10 yards in two of his last three games.

With Jamaal Williams out due to a concussion, Aaron Jones owners were finally guaranteed a full workload from start to finish. All Jones did with the opportunity was score four touchdowns and put up 182 total yards. His 49.2 PPR fantasy points were the most any running back has put up since Todd Gurley in Week 16 of the 2017 season. Despite the huge game, we really cannot say with any certainty that Jones will be the bell cow once Williams returns. Still, he hopefully has at least earned a large chunk of the pie going forward. Davante Adams missed this game, but Green Bay’s other receivers failed to capitalize. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison caught just three of 10 targets for 46 combined yards. In fact, Jones had more receiving yards on his own (75) than all Packers’ wide receivers put together (55).

Houston scored 53 points largely by abusing Atlanta through the air. Deshaun Watson had 426 yards and five touchdowns on just 33 attempts. He also was not sacked, after being sacked 18 times through the first quarter of the year. Carlos Hyde out-touched Duke Johnson 21-10 and scored a touchdown, though Johnson had more yards from scrimmage. The star of the game was Will Fuller. Fuller broke out of his month-long slump in spectacular fashion. Fuller posted one of the best fantasy games in history with a ridiculous 14-217-3 line. Fuller’s September line in four total games was 14-183-0. As amazing as Fuller was on Sunday, it could have been even better. He was twice stopped at Atlanta’s one-yard line. Because of Fuller’s heroics, DeAndre Hopkins had arguably the quietest seven-catch, 88-yard game ever. If you want to buy low on Hopkins, the time is now.

The Colts had the perfect blueprint to go into Kansas City and beat the Chiefs, and executed their gameplan to a tee. Marlon Mack ran the ball 29 times for 132 yards as the Colts controlled the clock for 37:15. Jordan Wilkins added seven carries for 28 yards and has been efficient in limited opportunities this season. Indianapolis has a Week 6 bye, but Wilkins might be worth a speculative add given Mack’s bum ankle and heavy workload. With the Colts playing keep-away, there was not much production to be had in the passing game. T.Y. Hilton and Nyheim Hines led the team with four receptions and five targets each. Hilton was gutting out a quad injury, so it was encouraging to see him in on 83 percent of snaps. He should be at full strength when Indianapolis faces the Texans in Week 7.

Minshewmania ran wild on Sunday as Gardner Minshew lit up what had been a stingy Panthers pass defense to the tune of 374 yards in a losing effort. Nearly half of those yards went to D.J. Chark, who continues to improve in just his second NFL season. He is the overall WR5 through five games. While that level of production feels unsustainable, it is hard to call him a fluke. Dede Westbrook had a solid effort with seven grabs on 11 targets. He has now increased his yardage output in three consecutive games. Westbrook will also be this week’s winner of the P.J. Williams sweepstakes. Expect even more production out of Westbrook in Week 6. Leonard Fournette saw another huge workload with 23 carries and seven targets. Fournette now has 115 touches through five weeks, trailing only Christian McCaffrey.

The Chiefs largely abandoned the running game in their loss on Sunday night, which was curious considering the close nature throughout the contest. Damien Williams returned to the lineup and dominated LeSean McCoy in both snaps (35-14) and touches (12-2). Perhaps there is still hope for Williams to earn season-long value just yet. McCoy fumbled the ball away after a second-quarter reception which may have also limited his playing time. Sammy Watkins was injured early on, so Kansas City was down a weapon on the outside. Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson were productive, but it was Byron Pringle who stepped in for Watkins and earned the trust of Patrick Mahomes. Pringle surpassed 100 yards and scored the Chiefs’ lone touchdown. Before Sunday, Pringle had played just 12 snaps. Considering the impending returns of both Watkins and Tyreek Hill, I think it is safe to leave Pringle on the waiver wire.

For the second consecutive week, Todd Gurley ran for a pair of touchdowns but the Rams again eschewed the running game on Thursday night. Jared Goff threw the ball 49 times for 395 yards. While  Goff has thrown for over 900 yards in the last two games, the Rams have lost both. Brandin Cooks saw just three targets and two touches as he exited early with a concussion. Cooper Kupp benefited and produced a 9-117-1 line on a massive 35 percent target share. Kupp’s 63 targets are well ahead of Michael Thomas (55) for the NFL lead. The other beneficiary of Cooks’ injury was not Robert Woods, who finished with five catches on nine targets. Instead, it was Gerald Everett who had a career day with 136 yards. Everett has the athleticism to continue to rise among the fantasy ranks at the tight end position.

Some were worried that the public complaints of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs May have meant less work for stud running back Dalvin Cook. Um, not so much. Cook touched the ball 27 times and gained 218 yards from scrimmage in the Vikings victory. As for the squeaky wheel theory, Thielen was most certainly greased. Thielen had 130 yards and two touchdowns as he exploited an easy matchup. Diggs, on the other hand, had another quiet outing. Diggs has just one game of 50-plus yards and two with double-digit fantasy points through five games. It will be difficult to get the desired value for Diggs in a trade, but owners simply cannot expect Diggs to return to his top 20 form. Speaking of players who do not figure to return to form, Kyle Rudolph had one catch for four yards last week and has 36 yards this season. The end.

Sony Michel had an efficient day against Washington, with 91 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Most encouraging was that he caught all three of his targets. Before Sunday, Michel had not caught a pass in 2019. James White chipped in with six rushes and six receptions, and Brandon bolden caught a touchdown pass. Rex Burkhead was out with a foot injury. New England has a quick turnaround, so Burkhead may be missing another week. Julian Edelman shook off a rib injury to catch eight of nine targets for 110 yards and a score. Phillip Dorsett left early with a hamstring injury. He is also unlikely to suit up Thursday against the Giants. It is a tough break for Dorsett owners, as the Giants present one of the easiest matchups for opposing wide receivers in all of football.

Teddy Bridgewater was masterful as he engineered the Saints to their third straight victory without Drew Brees. Bridgewater had four touchdowns and 314 yards against Tampa Bay and has quietly produced as a high-end QB2 over the course of his three starts. As has been the norm of late, particularly with Drew Brees on the shelf, Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas were Bridgewater’s go-to options. Kamara had 16 carries and six receptions while Thomas carved Tampa up for 182 yards and two touchdowns on 11 catches. Jared Cook and Latavius Murray had some encouraging moments last week. Cook caught his first touchdown of the year and had season-highs with four receptions and 41 yards. Murray, meanwhile, had a season-high nine touches. Still, neither can be considered a trustworthy weekly play at their respective positions.

The Giants could not get much done against Minnesota, as Daniel Jones looked overmatched once faced with a real defense. Wayne Gallman left with a first-quarter concussion. With his status in doubt and Saquon Barkley on the mend, Gallman’s days as a fantasy-relevant player appear to be over. Jonathan Hilliman will likely get the Week 6 start, but I cannot imagine a scenario where you would be starting him. Sterling Shepard suffered another concussion, his second in less than a month. He may be out for a while. Evan Engram is dealing with a knee injury and is also very much a question mark for Thursday night. If he is also forced to miss this game, expect Golden Tate to be peppered with targets. Tate returned from suspension last week but was quiet in his first action of the season, totaling just 13 receiving yards on six targets.

Luke Falk took nine sacks, threw two interceptions, and gifted the Eagles with two defensive scores. Other than that, he was fantastic.   Le’Veon Bell is currently the only reliable threat to opposing defenses. His efficiency has taken a massive hit this season. Some of it may be do to the Jets not having a quarterback, but the offensive line is also quite suspect. Only left guard Alex Lewis has played well. Bell has managed to keep his PPR numbers afloat with 27 receptions through four games. He and Demaryius Thomas each had nine targets on Sunday, though neither cleared 50 yards. Robby Anderson and Jamison Crowder each have eight receptions in three games since Sam Darnold has been out. Even with Darnold expected back this week, they will be hit or miss options. Chris Herndon is eligible to be reinstated, but he should not be started as of yet.

The Raiders pulled off a huge upset when they beat the Bears in London on Sunday. Derek Carr was not sacked and did not turn the ball over, as Oakland wisely got the ball out of his hands quickly against Chicago’s vaunted pass rush. Josh Jacobs balled out against a Bears defense that had only given up an average of 58.8 rushing yards to opposing running backs in their first four games. Jacobs finished with 29 touches for 143 total yards and two touchdowns. Deandre Washington added a rushing score on six attempts. Darren Waller owners were likely disappointed with the surprisingly positive game script and the fact that Foster Moreau matched Waller in both targets (5) and receptions (4). With Tyrell Williams inactive and Oakland leading for much of the game, just 11 of Carr’s 32 passes were intended for wide receivers.

Jordan Howard again looked like the best Eagles running back this past Sunday. Howard had 62 yards and a score on the ground. Miles Sanders did have four receptions, while Darren Sproles was again nonexistent. Sanders should get more of the receiving work going forward, but it does appear that Howard is the preferred option on early downs and on the goal line. Sproles is now week to week with a strained quad and can safely be dropped. The same can only probably be said of Nelson Agholor, who is still rostered in 71 percent of leagues. His production has dropped drastically now that Alshon Jeffery is back, and DeSean Jackson should also be back in the next week or so. Zach Ertz finally scored his first touchdown of 2019 while Jeffery added six catches in the blowout victory.

The San Francisco 49ers blitzed Cleveland with an all-out assault in the rushing game. San Francisco finished with 275 rushing yards as Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman each ended the week inside the top 20 at running back. The 49ers are so stocked at the position, that Jeff Wilson, who had four touchdowns in the previous two games, was a healthy scratch. That is likely to remain the case as long as Breida, Coleman, and Raheem Mostert remain healthy.  Little production was needed on the passing front, but it was nice to see George Kittle score his first touchdown of 2019. Some Kittle owners were a bit nervous early on, but there was never anything to worry about. Kittle has cleared 50 yards in all four games so far this season and is still an elite fantasy tight end.

Russell Wilson needed just 23 attempts to produce 268 passing yards and four scores on Thursday night against the Rams. He is playing at an elite level despite averaging just 31.2 pass attempts per game. Chris Carson was a workhorse once again despite the return of Rashaad Penny. Carson had 27 carries and also caught the game-winning touchdown pass. Penny chipped in with six rushes and two receptions. No pass catcher for Seattle had more than four targets as Wilson was highly efficient as usual, completing 74 percent of his throws. Will Dissly led the way with 81 yards but failed to reach the end zone for the first time since Week 1. Dissly is tied with DK Metcalf for second on the team with 26 targets, trailing only Tyler Lockett through five games.

Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones experienced a virtual split of the backfield work in Week 5. Both produced about average output, though Barber did score a touchdown. Jones has been much more efficient per touch, but Barber has scored three times to Jones’ one thus far. Entering Week 6, they are neck and neck in fantasy points. Barber is currently the RB33 and Jones the RB34. Chris Godwin lit up the Saints for 125 yards and two touchdowns. He is now the overall WR1 through five games. Mike Evans posted a bagel in the Bayou and has as an inconsistent a weekly resume as you will see from a top-20 fantasy wideout. O.J. Howard may turn around his season at some point, but there’s no justifying starting him in fantasy right now. He is 31st among tight ends in fantasy scoring, just behind teammate Cameron Brate.

Tennessee scored just seven points in a home loss to Buffalo as they were largely done in by Cairo Santos missing four field goals. Santos was subsequently released. Derrick Henry again dominated backfield touches despite the Titans never playing with the lead. Henry’s stranglehold on the backfield has been a theme all year long. Dion Lewis is barely ownable, even in PPR formats. After busting out for a combined three touchdowns and 185 receiving yards against Atlanta the week prior, Corey Davis and A.J. Brown totaled just 55 scoreless yards on four catches. Considering what we have seen from the Titans wideouts during the course of this season (not to mention what we have witnessed from the Falcons’ pass defense), it is safe to say their Week 4 breakout was the anomaly. Davis and Brown are worth owning but should only be started in favorable matchups.

Colt McCoy started at quarterback for Washington but managed just 119 yards on 27 passes. He also took six sacks for 44 yards as new England’s defense continues to dominate. Following the game, Washington fired Jay Gruden and named Bill Callahan interim coach. Callahan stated that he wants to run the football more going forward. If you want to buy that narrative, I suggest doing so for one week only. Adrian Peterson will have his best matchup of the year in Week 6 against Miami. The Dolphins have allowed 615 rushing yards and five touchdowns to opposing backs in just four games. On the other hand, Peterson has been patently awful this season. The future Hall of Famer has just 108 yards on 40 carries, good for a 2.7 average. He does not have a rushing attempt that has exceeded 10 yards in any of those attempts.

You can argue that Washington’s best runner so far this season has been a wide receiver. Steven Sims slipped through some poor tackles to score on a 65-yard scamper, which was about all the offense Washington could muster. Sims now has 81 rushing yards on four carries. Washington’s three running backs totaled just 66 yards on the ground against New England. Chris Thompson again led the club in receptions. Rookie wideout Terry McLaurin returned to action but caught just three of seven targets for 51 yards. It was good to see him play virtually every offensive snap after missing Week 4 due to a hamstring injury. McLaurin has been the only consistent source of fantasy production in Washington’s offense through the first month of the season. The rookie enters Week 6 25th among wideouts in fantasy points despite missing a game.
