Antonio Gates caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday’s win over Oakland.

Gates was targeted just twice as Philip Rivers spread the ball around, but he gets a tremendous matchup next Sunday against Cleveland. If you were waiting for a spot to use the future Hall of Famer in fantasy lineups, Week 6 would seem to be the time.

Laquon Treadwell catches three passes in Week 5.

Treadwell showed strong hands against the Eagles, and he gained 21 yards on his three receptions. The former first-round pick remains the clear No. 3 receiver for the Vikings, but he’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Kyle Rudolph catches all five targets in Week 5.

Rudolph was a reliable underneath option against the Eagles, as he gained 41 yards on his five receptions. The Pro Bowl tight end doesn’t have a ton of upside with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs doing most of the damage for the Vikings, but he remains a solid TE1 option.

Mike Williams caught three passes for 45 yards in Sunday’s win over the Raiders.

He also rushed once for three yards. Williams has been relatively quiet over the past two weeks after a hot stretch to start the year, but he remains a high-upside FLEX option in a high-powered offense. We’ll see if he can return to the end zone next Sunday against Cleveland in what could turn into a high-scoring affair.

Adam Thielen makes history in Vikings’ Week 5 win.

Thielen caught seven-of-ten targets for 116 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles, becoming the first player in NFL history to have over 100 yards in the first five games of the season. Thielen’s day was highlighted by a long 68-yard reception on a double-move against Eagles cornerback Jalen Mills and a touchdown on a beautiful pitch-and-catch to the back corner of the end zone from Kirk Cousins. Thielen has simply been amazing this season, and there’s no reason to believe he won’t keep it going next week against the Cardinals.

Tyrell Williams caught three passes for 66 yards in Sunday’s win over Oakland.

Williams hauled in all three of his targets as Los Angeles cruised to an easy victory, but they might actually get more of a challenge in Week 6 against the Browns. Despite the solid game, Williams won’t be a recommended fantasy option on a loaded offense next Sunday.

Mike Boone gets one carry in Week 5.

Boone gained one yard on his lone attempt against Philadelphia. Boone is not a fantasy option right now.
