Torrey Smith held without a reception in Week 5 win.

Smith was targeted once and seemed to be hobbled at one point. The 29-year-old has just seven receptions for 67 yards and a score through four games, so he’s not a recommended fantasy option and could see his playing time scaled back in favor of D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel.

Joe Flacco doesn’t throw a touchdown in Week 5.

This was a classic defensive battle between the Ravens and the Browns, and the passing attack of Baltimore couldn’t get much going in the 9-6 overtime loss. Flacco was 29/56 for 298 yards and one interception along with two carries for 13 yards. He struggled to connect with Michael Crabtree (12 targets, six receptions) and John Brown (14 targets, four reception) throughout the game, as Cleveland’s defense played well and made things difficult. Next week against Tennessee’s defense and trio of the corners will be difficult, so Flacco isn’t a highly-recommend Week 6 fantasy option.

Jarius Wright caught three passes for 25 yards in Sunday’s win over the Giants.

Wright (six) was behind just Devin Funchess (seven) for targets in the victory, but the playmaking ability of D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel could give them more playing time sooner rather than later. The veteran slot receiver isn’t a recommended fantasy option heading into a matchup with the Redskins.

Andre Roberts catches one pass against the Broncos.

Roberts gained four yards on his lone reception. The veteran receiver, who had a 51-yard punt return in the Week 5 win, is more of a real-life contributor than fantasy asset.

Curtis Samuel scores first career touchdown in 33-31 victory over the Giants.

Making his season debut, Samuel caught two passes for 37 yards, including an impressive 25-yard touchdown that displayed the game-breaking ability he had coming out of Ohio State. He was written off by many after an injury-plagued rookie year followed by Carolina selecting D.J. Moore in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, but Samuel just turned 22-years-old in August, and he could potentially be a dangerous weapon for Norv Turner’s offense. For now, he doesn’t need to be owned in redraft leagues, but Samuel is someone to at least keep in eye on for this season and beyond.

Quincy Enunwa doesn’t catch a pass in Week 5.

Enunwa started the season as a high-floor option with at least 57 yards in each game, so this was a surprise and an outlier. Look for Enunwa to bounce back next week against the Colts, but he’s more of a riskier FLEX option for Week 6.

Jordan Leggett catches lone target in Week 5.

Leggett gained ten yards on his lone reception against the Broncos. None of the Jets pass-catchers are highly-recommended fantasy options at the moment.
