Richard Rodgers gets one target in Week 5.

Rodgers caught his target for a 16-yard reception. Troy Aikman said on the FOX broadcast that Aaron Rodgers wants to get Richard Rodgers more involved moving forward, but he’s not a reliable fantasy option.

Ricardo Louis caught three passes for 25 yards in Sunday’s loss.

Louis failed to make it three-straight quality games, as the entire offense struggled in Kevin Hogan’s first career start. You’re probably better off keeping Louis on the waiver wire. The Browns face the Titans in Week 7.

Lance Kendricks catches one pass in Week 5.

Kendricks caught a 24-yarder on the second-longest play of the game for Green Bay. He’s not on the fantasy radar because his role is not big enough for the Packers.

Damien Williams gets seven touches in Week 6.

Williams carried four times for nine yards and caught three passes (on three targets) for 14 yards. Williams mixes in behind starter Jay Ajayi and is not really on the fantasy radar right now.

Jordy Nelson scores again in Week 5.

Make that six touchdowns in four games for Nelson, who scored on a ten-yard skinny post after a play-action fake. He had two receptions for 24 yards and the touchdown total in the game. Nelson curiously wasn’t in the game at the very end, so he obviously was dealing with some type of injury and hopefully he’s OK. If you take out the game Nelson missed against the Bengals this season and go off the first four games he played, he would be on pace for 76 catches for 920 yards and 24 touchdowns. Look for him to up the yardage per game, with the touchdown pace likely to slow some. He does have a difficult matchup with Xavier Rhodes and the Vikings next week, but Nelson is still a WR1.

C.J. Beathard takes over as the starting quarterback for the 49ers.

The third-round rookie from Iowa was inserted into the game for veteran Brian Hoyer in the second quarter against the Redskins, and he flashed throughout the game while giving a jolt to San Francisco. With Beathard in control, the 49ers almost took down the Redskins but came up short on a potential go-ahead field goal drive at the end of the game. Beathard was 19/36 for 245 yards, on touchdown, on interception, and a 14-yard carry. He showed his ability to rip throws down the middle of the field and just looked like he was ready to play. The rookie will have ten games to show what he can do for the 0-6 49ers, who could be in the market for a quarterback this offseason.

Terrance Williams caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Packers.

Dak Prescott mostly relied on Bryant-Witten-Beasley in the 35-31 loss, and Williams didn’t get many chances to make a play. He can be dropped as the Cowboys head into their Week 6 bye. They’ll face the 49ers in Week 7.
