Tyler Higbee caught two passes for 26 yards in Sunday’s win over the Seahawks.

Higbee was targeted four times, as the tight ends got a little more involved with Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp both leaving the game to enter the concussion protocol. The 25-year-old will only be worth considering in Week 6 if both Cooks and Kupp are inactive, which hopefully isn’t the case.

Shelton Gibson makes spectacular catch in Week 5.

Gibson was given an opportunity on a pass deep down the field, and he made a leaping Randy Moss-like catch for 48 yards. It was Gibosn’s lone target of the game, but perhaps the big play will help him get more opportunities moving forward. Gibson is not a fantasy option yet, but keep an eye on him.

Josh Reynolds handles three touches in win over the Seahawks.

Reynolds caught two passes for 39 yards and added a ten-yard rush as he saw extended playing time with Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) both leaving the game. Hopefully the starters are able to get healthy for a trip to Denver, but Reynolds would immediately be on the FLEX radar if he draws a start in Week 6.

Zach Ertz scores in Eagles’ loss.

Ertz was targeted 11 times in a comeback effort against the Vikings, catching ten passes for 110 yards and a touchdown. The score was late in the fourth quarter and cut the game to one possession. It was Ertz’s first touchdown of the season, and the performance was his second straight game with at least ten receptions and 100 yards. He’s one of the top tight end options for Week 6 against the Giants.

Josh Adams gets one touch against the Vikings.

Adams received a third-down toss that went for -1 yards. Perhaps the Eagles were trying to catch the Vikings off guard, but Adams probably doesn’t have the acceleration to beat Minnesota’s stingy defense on most occasions. The rookie running back is just a dynasty option for now.

Robert Woods caught five passes for 92 yards in Sunday’s win over the Seahawks.

Besides leading the team in receiving, Woods also rushed twice for 53 yards. The veteran consistently picked up chunk yardage to keep the ball moving for Los Angeles, and he’s now gone for lines of 6/81, 10/104/2, 5/101/1, and 5/92 over the past four weeks after a nondescript opener. Woods is locked in as a low-end WR2/FLEX option next week in Denver whether or not Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp clear the concussion protocol.

Corey Clement (quadricep) does not play in Week 5.

Clement was active for the game, but he did not play and was probably only available for emergency situations. The fact that he was active could mean he’s ready to play this Thursday night against the Giants but it’s risky to insert him into fantasy lineups for Week 6.
