Amari Cooper held to one reception in Week 5 loss.

Cooper was targeted only once, and it went for ten yards. Interestingly, the Raiders starting trio hauled in all of their targets, but it led to just 10 points, which could mean Derek Carr needs to take more calculated risks by giving players a chance to make plays. Cooper was shadowed by Casey Hayward, though, so hopefully he gets more involved against a beatable Seattle secondary next Sunday. The 24-year-old is as volatile as it gets.

Texans head coach Bill O’Brien says Lamar Miller (chest) will play this week.

Miller was active for last night’s game against the Cowboys, but he did not play in the game while dealing with his chest injury. He’ll be back in the lineup this Sunday against the Bills and enters the FLEX conversation for Week 6. Alfred Blue will still have a role as a runner.

Jared Cook contained in 26-10 loss to the Chargers.

Cook caught four passes for 20 yards, but it was a difficult matchup despite the Chargers allowing George Kittle to have a big day in Week 4. Those who picked up and are rolling with the veteran have no reason to go away from him heading into a matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday. Cook is a solid TE1.

Seth Roberts sees a team-high seven targets in Week 5 loss.

Roberts, who has long been a favorite of Derek Carr, caught four passes for 41 yards against the Chargers. The 27-year-old is a better real-life player than fantasy option thanks to his chemistry with Carr, so keep him on the waiver wire heading into a matchup with the Seahawks.

George Kittle leads the Niners in Week 5 receiving.

Kittle was targeted seven times against the Cardinals, catching five passes for 83 yards in the loss—but he had a drop on a two-point conversion. The second-year tight end had a long reception of 45 yards, and he’s had a reception of at least 23 yards in four of the first five games of the season. Kittle is basically San Francisco’s number one receiver, and he’s a strong TE1 option for Week 6 against the Packers.

Raheem Mostert loses a fumble in Week 5.

Mostert carried five times for 11 yards and caught one pass for -2 yards along with the lost fumble against the Cardinals. Matt Breida left the game with an ankle injury, so perhaps Mostert can carve out a nice role if he misses more time, but it’s difficult to trust Mostert in fantasy lineups for Week 6 even if Breida does miss the game.

Jordy Nelson scores for the third-straight game as Oakland falls to 1-4.

Nelson caught four passes for 43 yards in the loss, with the score coming on a quick pass from one-yard away with the Chargers not lined up. Again, he was written off after a couple sub-par games to start the year, but Jordy looks like he has plenty left in the tank, and he should be picked up in all leagues that he’s still available in. The 33-year-old has a good chance of extending his touchdown streak against a beatable Seattle secondary next Sunday, so consider him a solid FLEX option
