NFL Scores Week 5: Top Fantasy Stars, Results and Latest Team Stats

Kristopher KnoxOct 11, 2020

Sunday's NFL action kicked off with a few important divisional games, an in-state battle and a pair of games featuring new Week-5 starters.

The biggest shocker of the early slate was the Las Vegas Raiders' 40-32 victory of the previously undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. While it ended up being a one-score game, it took a late score and a two-point conversion to make it that close.

The Baltimore Ravens dominated the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals, while the Carolina Panthers outpaced the Atlanta Falcons. The Pittsburgh Steelers handled the Philadelphia Eagles.

Week 5 Fantasy Stars

Allen Robinson II, WR, Chicago Bears

While the Bears' switch from Mitchell Trubisky to Nick Foles might not have a significant lasting impact on the offense, it is likely to yield positive long-term results for Allen Robinson II's fantasy managers.

Foles took over during Chicago's Week 3 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Over the past three weeks, the seventh-year receiver has been targeted at least 10 times and has caught at least seven passes in each game.

Robinson had a down game on Thursday, at least compared to the two previous games, with a touchdown in each. However, he still reached 90 yards and caught 10 passes on 16 targets.

As long as Foles remains under center, Chicago is likely to force-feed the ball to Robinson. This makes him a weekly must-start in points-per-reception formats. Managers in standard leagues, however, may want to exercise caution in Week 6, as Robinson will face the Carolina Panthers' ninth-ranked pass defense.

Mike Davis, RB, Carolina Panthers

Fantasy managers who scooped up Mike Davis in the wake of Christian McCaffrey landing on injured reserve have to be happy right now. The Carolina Panthers turned to the 27-year-old journeyman after losing McCaffrey in Week 2 and haven't changed his role.

Just like McCaffrey, Davis has been asked to be a dual-threat back, and he has delivered.

Against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Davis caught nine passes, produced 149 scrimmage yards and found the end zone.

While Davis may not have quite the same amount of upside as McCaffrey, his role makes him a reliable option in most formats. Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady is going to get him the ball—and often.

McCaffrey will be eligible to return from IR in Week 6, but Carolina should not be looking to rush him back into action. If he remains out, Davis will be worth the start, even against a stout Bears defense.

Chase Claypool, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Anyone who followed the Steelers during training camp had an inkling that rookie wideout Chase Claypool might be something special.

"Love the buzz on Chase Claypool from Steelers camp," NBC Sports' Chris Simms tweeted in August. "Built like Brandon Marshall, but faster & more explosive. Superstar potential."

Claypool showed that upside against the Eagles, catching seven passes for 110 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a score. He now has 13 catches for 261 receiving yards and five total touchdowns through four games.

While Claypool may be a bit matchup-dependent—he had just one catch and 24 yards in Week 3—he has a tremendous matchup coming in Week 6. The Cleveland Browns came into Sunday ranked just 30th in passing yards allowed.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Miami Dolphins

Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't the quarterback of the future for the Miami Dolphins, and he might not even finish out the season. At some point, Miami is likely to turn to rookie Tua Tagovailoa. However, the Bearded Bomber remains a quality fantasy streamer when the right matchup presents itself.

A fine matchup presented itself on Sunday, as Fitzpatrick shredded a banged-up San Francisco 49ers defense. He completed 22 of 28 pass attempts for 350 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed three times for 16 yards.

Following the matchups will be important for Fitzpatrick managers next week. In Week 6, he'll face the New York Jets and their passing defense. The following week, Miami will be one bye—their schedule was recently altered, and the scheduled Week-7 Los Angeles Chargers game moved to Week 10.

Consider Fitzpatrick a quality streaming option or bye-week replacement against New York. Quarterbacks on bye during the week include Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert and Derek Carr.

Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings

The Seattle Seahawks came into Week 5 ranked third in run defense. Yet, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook sill managed to have one of the best fantasy outings of the weekend.

Cook, who briefly appeared to be injured with a leg injury, powered through tackles and caught passes throughout Sunday night's hard-fought nightcap. The centerpiece of Minnesota's offense shined once again, finishing with 65 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown, five receptions and 24 receiving yards.

While not an ideal outing—and the Vikings didn't get the win—but this was a classic example of why Cook's workload makes him a mus-start in most formats, particularly PPR.

Don't expect this to change in the immediate future. Cook and the Vikings will face the Atlanta Falcons and their 31st-ranked scoring defense next. Managers have no reason to take Cook out of their starting lineups moving forward.
