Bryce Treggs caught one pass in Sunday’s loss to the Texans.

It went for 20 yards. Treggs is one of a handful of receivers in the same boat, and they’ll all continue to split time and try to stay on the roster. Perhaps one of them will have a big day against Tennessee’s weak secondary next Sunday, but none can be confidently inserted into fantasy lineups.

Deshaun Watson scores five touchdowns in second-straight game, but Chiefs pull away from beat up Houston team on SNF.

Watson was 16/31 for 261 yards and five touchdowns. He also rushed three times for 31 yards. The first-round pick is quieting a lot of critics up with an unbelievable start to his career, and Sunday night’s game allowed him to display his arm strength—a so-called “concern” coming out of Clemson. Through four starts, Watson has thrown for 1,072 yards, 12 touchdowns, and four interceptions, and he’s also rushed for 179 yards and two scores on the ground. He’s an every-week QB1 that needs to be in lineups against the Browns in Week 6.

Zach Miller caught two passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s win over the Ravens.

Miller has now scored in both of Mitchell Trubisky’s starts, but this score came on a throw from running back Tarik Cohen. The veteran still isn’t worth considering outside of good matchups, so he’s not a recommended fantasy play in Week 7 against Carolina.

Travis Kelce doesn’t return after being evaluated for a concussion.

Before leaving, Kelce was having a monster game, catching eight of 11 targets for 98 yards. Kelce has until next Sunday to get cleared of his concussion if he does have one, and he’d be an top-two TE option against the Steelers if active.

Carlos Hyde scores twice against Washington.

Hyde carried 13 times for 28 yards and two touchdowns while adding five receptions (on six targets) for 47 yards. The Redskins did a good job against Hyde on the ground for the most part, but he cashed in twice on goal line carries and picked up solid yardage in the passing game. After his apparent benching for a missed block in the second half last week, Hyde again worked as the clear lead guy for the Niners and is back in the RB1 conversation for Week 7 against Dallas.

Geronimo Allison held out of the box score in Week 5 win.

Allison was probably picked up in some leagues with Davante Adams looking highly questionable, but Adams was able to get healthy and play the hero in a 35-31 win. Jordy Nelson sat out the team’s game-winning drive, and despite no injury being announced, you’d think that is the only reason he wasn’t out there, so his status is something to keep an eye on this week. If Nelson were to sit against Minnesota, Allison might be worth a pickup.

Jarvis Landry gets 14 targets in Dolphins’ win.

With DeVante Parker (ankle) out, it was predictable that Landry would get 10-12+ targets against the Falcons. Landry caught eight passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in the victory for Miami. He mostly worked as a reliable underneath guy for Jay Cutler, as his long reception was of 11 yards and he had a key third-down conversion on a pass over the middle that he went up for with defenders around him. The touchdown was on a misdirection play where Landry was about as open as you can get in the flat for a walk-in score. Landry will continue to offer a very high floor in PPR leagues next week against the Jets.
