Week 5 pickups

Quarterbacks

Chad Pennington (Dolphins) - Completed 22-of-29 passes for 228 yards and a TD against the Chargers. He has thrown only 10 incomplete passes in his past two games and has a favorable matchup against the Texans in Week 6.

Matt Ryan (Falcons) - The rookie had his first multi-TD game of his career against the Packers in Lambeau field. Ryan also threw for a career high 194 yards. Wide receiver Roddy White caught eight balls for 132 yards and a TD. Ryan is a serviceable play against the Raiders and Broncos in Weeks 9 and 10.

Runningbacks

Kevin Faulk (Pats)- Carried the ball seven times for 32 yards and two TDs. He also caught four passes out of the backfield for 29 yards. Both of his touchdowns came at the goal line. It increases Faulk’s value if he is going to get goal line carries the rest of the season. He has favorable matchups against the Broncos, Rams and Colts in Weeks 7-9.

Felix Jones (Cowboys)- Jones led the Cowboys in rushing against the Bengals despite only getting nine rushing attempts. It was the most carries he received in a game since Week 1 and the team is looking to feed him the ball more. He finished with 96 yards and scored on a 33-yard run in the first quarter. The rookie has scored three times through in his first five games and is averaging 9 yards per rush. He can make a strong bye week flex play with upcoming games against the Bills and Rams.

Wide Receivers

Greg Camarillo (Dolphins) - Finished with six catches for a team-high 68 yards and a TD. His first touchdown of the season came in traffic over Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer. He is developing a strong rapport with Chad Pennington and was targeted eight times. Over his past three games Camarillo has 16 catches.

Rashied Davis (Bears) - Davis had a nice game vs. an awful Lions secondary and it helped that receiver Brandon Lloyd missed the game due to injury. Davis stepped up catching six balls for 97 yards. He was targeted nine times and will continue to receive extended playing time as long as Lloyd is out. Has favorable games the next three weeks against the Falcons, Vikings and Lions.

Bobby Engram (Seahawks) – Engram returned from injury and played in his first game this season against the Giants. The crafty veteran caught eight balls for 61 yards. He was quarterback Matt Hasslebeck’s security blanket in the slot position. He was tied for third among WR with 12 targets in Week 5. If receiver Deion Branch misses Week 6 then Engram would start at flanker.

Tight End

Greg Olsen (Bears)- Caught three passes for 87 yards against the Lions. Olsen had a 52-yard reception in the first half and his role has increased with the injury to Brandon Lloyd and improved play of QB Kyle Orton.

Kicker

Shaun Suisham (Redskins) - Kicked three field goals against the Eagles including a 50 yarder. He has scored 25 points the past two weeks while converting all seven of his attempts. Suisham has favorable matchups in Weeks 6-8 against the Rams, Browns and Lions.

Defense

Carolina Panthers- The Panthers shut out the Chiefs 34-0 making it their first shutout since blanking the Rams in 2006. They recorded three sacks, two interceptions and forced two fumbles against KC. Larry Johnson rushed for two yards on seven carries and the Panthers have not allowed a 100 yard rusher yet. They have allowed only nine points their past two games
