Carlos Hyde gets 19 touches in Week 5.

Hyde carried 17 times for 63 yards and added two receptions for 14 yards in a tough matchup with Baltimore’s defense. This was the first game of the season that Hyde did not score a touchdown in, but he remained clearly above Nick Chubb (three carries) in the game. Hyde is likely to get another 15-20 touches in Week 6 against the Chargers.

Danny Amendola caught three passes for 30 yards in Sunday’s loss to Cincinnati.

Amendola has been steady to start the year, but Miami’s offense has mostly struggled besides some big gadget plays. The 32-year-old is a safe FLEX option in deeper PPR leagues, but he doesn’t bring a ton of upside with Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins struggling. Amendola will look to make an impact next week against the Bears.

Baker Mayfield wins first home start for the Browns.

Mayfield was 25/43 for 342 yards, one touchdown, and one interception along with two carries for 23 yards in the 9-6 overtime victory against the Ravens. The touchdown was to Rashard Higgins, who got wide-open in the end zone for a 19-yard score. Mayfield probably held the ball too long a few times, and he was sacked five times in the game with at least a couple of them coming because he didn’t get rid of the ball, but it was a solid game for the No. 1 pick. Mayfield faces the Chargers in Week 6.

De’Lance Turner gets one touch in Week 5.

Turner caught his lone target against the Browns, gaining seven yards. Turner’s role isn’t big enough to deliver reliable fantasy value right now.

Mike Gesicki caught three passes for 26 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Bengals.

Gesicki saw five targets in the loss, but the biggest miss came on an overthrow by Ryan Tannehill down the right sideline for what would have been a long gain and a potential touchdown. Miami’s second-round pick has yet to score through five games, but we wouldn’t write off a 2018 impact, and Gesicki has firmly established himself as the team’s No. 1 tight end. Perhaps he will find the end zone against Chicago next Sunday, but the rookie is just a TE2 option.

Hayden Hurst catches one pass in NFL debut.

Hurst missed the first four games of the season with a foot injury, but he made a seven-yard reception for his first NFL reception against the Browns. The 25-year-old rookie is expected to be a quick contributor for the Ravens, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option right now in a very crowded tight end group.

Maxx Williams catches both targets in Ravens’ loss.

Williams gained eight yards on his two receptions against the Browns. He’s part of a four-tight-end committee and is off the fantasy radar for now.
