Arizona Cardinals

RB snap rates:

Eno Benjamin - 53%

James Conner - 34% (injured)

Darrel Williams - 13% (injured)

Route rates:

Eno Benjamin - 56%

James Conner - 31% (injured)

Darrel Williams - 11% (injured)

Marquise Brown - 98%

Rondale Moore - 91%

A.J. Green - 78%

Andre Baccellia - 16%

Greg Dortch - 4%

Zach Ertz - 91%

Trey McBride - 20%

Takeaways:

• Conner and Williams’ injuries left Benjamin as Arizona’s only RB. Rookie Keaontay Ingram figures to be active in Week 6 if Conner and Williams are out, but Benjamin would likely handle the majority of the backfield work.
• As we predicted here last week, Green’s return kicked Moore back into the slot. He was inside for 83% of his snaps and had a more productive outing, turning 8 targets into 7 catches and 68 yards.

Atlanta Falcons

RB snap rates:

Tyler Allgeier - 59%

Avery Williams - 26%

Caleb Huntley - 24%

Route rates:

Tyler Allgeier - 54%

Avery Williams - 22%

Caleb Huntley - 16%

Olamide Zaccheaus - 81%

Drake London - 65% (injured)

KhaDarel Hodge - 32%

Damiere Byrd - 32%

Bryan Edwards - 24%

Parker Hesse - 35%

Anthony Firkser - 27%

Takeaways:

• Allgeier’s snap and route rates were high enough, but he handled just 54% of the RB carries (13 of 24) and wasn’t targeted.
• London reportedly hurt his knee in the 4th quarter of this one, so we’ll need to monitor his status this week.

Baltimore Ravens

RB snap rates:

Kenyan Drake - 42%

J.K. Dobbins - 40%

Mike Davis - 8%

Route rates:

J.K. Dobbins - 35%

Kenyan Drake - 32%

Mike Davis - 5%

Devin Duvernay - 84%

Demarcus Robinson - 70%

James Proche - 43%

Tylan Wallace - 24%

Mark Andrews - 97%

Isaiah Likely - 24%

Josh Oliver - 19%

Takeaways:

• Dobbins went from a 50% snap rate and 39% carry share in Week 4 to a 40% snap rate and 29% carry share in this one. It looks like Baltimore still has him on a snap and/or touch count.
• Duvernay played a significant role with WR Rashod Bateman out. He drew 7 targets (22% share) and 3 carries.

Buffalo Bills

RB snap rates:

Devin Singletary - 54%

Zack Moss - 29%

James Cook - 18%

Route rates:

Devin Singletary - 48%

Zack Moss - 28%

James Cook - 8%

Gabriel Davis - 85%

Stefon Diggs - 83%

Khalil Shakir - 70%

Isaiah Hodgins - 28%

Tanner Gentry - 18%

Quintin Morris - 65%

Tommy Sweeney - 23%

Takeaways:

• I’m assuming the scoreboard was a big part of the reduction in Singletary’s playing time. He’s played exactly 54% of Buffalo’s offensive snaps in the Week 2 and 5 blowouts. In tighter Week 3 and 4 contests, he posted 73% and 88% snap rates.
• Shakir stepped into the primary slot role, playing 85% of his snaps on the inside. It’ll be interesting to see how that work is divvied once Isaiah McKenzie clears concussion protocol.

Carolina Panthers

RB snap rates:

Christian McCaffrey - 86%

Chuba Hubbard - 16%

D’Onta Foreman - 4%

Route rates:

Christian McCaffrey - 79%

Chuba Hubbard - 15%

D’Onta Foreman - 0%

D.J. Moore - 92%

Robbie Anderson - 81%

Shi Smith - 71%

Terrace Marshall - 37%

Tommy Tremble - 56%

Giovanni Ricci - 23%

Ian Thomas - 21%

Takeaways:

• McCaffrey is sitting on a 22% target share for the season and has hogged 27% of Panthers targets over the past 2 weeks.

Chicago Bears

RB snap rates:

David Montgomery - 72%

Khalil Herbert - 28%

Trestan Ebner - 2%

Route rates:

David Montgomery - 63%

Khalil Herbert - 22%

Trestan Ebner - 0%

Darnell Mooney - 100%

Equanimeous St. Brown - 66%

Dante Pettis - 63%

Ihmir Smith-Marsette - 38%

Velus Jones - 6%

Cole Kmet - 84%

Ryan Griffin - 16%

Takeaways:

• Montgomery stepped right back into his usual role coming off the ankle injury, handling 12 of 16 RB carries (75%) and 4 targets (19%).

Cincinnati Bengals

RB snap rates:

Joe Mixon - 70%

Samaje Perine - 30%

Route rates:

Joe Mixon - 52%

Samaje Perine - 31%

Ja’Marr Chase - 100%

Tyler Boyd - 98%

Mike Thomas - 76%

Tee Higgins - 17% (injured)

Stanley Morgan - 7%

Hayden Hurst - 83%

Mitchell Wilcox - 14%

Takeaways:

• Hurst is up to 5th among TEs in routes and 11th in targets.

Cleveland Browns

RB snap rates:

Nick Chubb - 52%

Kareem Hunt - 49%

Route rates:

Kareem Hunt - 50%

Nick Chubb - 39%

Amari Cooper - 95%

Donovan Peoples-Jones - 92%

David Bell - 47%

Anthony Schwartz - 21%

David Njoku - 84%

Harrison Bryant - 16%

Takeaways:

• Cooper’s target shares:
  • Week 1 - 17.6%
  • Week 2 - 37.0%
  • Week 3 - 35.5%
  • Week 4 - 11.8%
  • Week 5 - 35.3%
• Njoku is up to an 18% target share on the season. He ranks 8th among TEs in total targets and 10th in routes.

Dallas Cowboys

RB snap rates:

Ezekiel Elliott - 64%

Tony Pollard - 41%

Route rates:

Ezekiel Elliott - 47%

Tony Pollard - 21%

CeeDee Lamb - 100%

Michael Gallup - 89%

Noah Brown - 84%

Peyton Hendershot - 53%

Dalton Schultz - 32% (injured)

Jake Ferguson - 21%

Takeaways:

• Dallas attempted just 16 passes on a very Bears-ian 30% pass rate.
• Gallup climbed from an 85% route rate in his 2022 debut last week to 89% in this one. His 5 targets in the win over the Rams were 31% of the team total. He’s looking like a valuable fantasy asset once the Cowboys get QB Dak Prescott back.

Denver Broncos

RB snap rates:

Melvin Gordon - 56%

Mike Boone - 41%

Devine Ozigbo - 3%

Route rates:

Melvin Gordon - 48%

Mike Boone - 41%

Devine Ozigbo - 2%

Courtland Sutton - 96%

Jerry Jeudy - 87%

K.J. Hamler - 72%

Tyrie Cleveland - 9%

Montrell Washington - 2%

Eric Saubert - 54%

Albert Okwuegbunam - 30%

Eric Tomlinson - 17%

Andrew Beck - 17%

Takeaways:

• Gordon tallied 7 carries and 2 targets to Boone’s 1 carry and 1 target in the 1st half of Thursday night’s debacle. In the 2nd half and overtime, the split was 8 carries and 1 target for Gordon to 6 carries and 2 targets for Boone. We’ll see if RB Latavius Murray can work himself into the mix.
• Okwuegbunam was a bit more involved this week than last but still ran fewer routes and was out-targeted 7 to 1 by Saubert.

Detroit Lions

RB snap rates:

Craig Reynolds - 47%

Jamaal Williams - 33%

Justin Jackson - 21%

Route rates:

Craig Reynolds - 41%

Justin Jackson - 17%

Jamaal Williams - 7%

Josh Reynolds - 100%

Kalif Raymond - 95%

Tom Kennedy - 51%

Amon-Ra St. Brown - 41%

T.J. Hockenson - 78%

Brock Wright - 16%

Takeaways:

• We noted Williams’ underwhelming snap rate, route rate and target share in Week 4 fantasy usage. That came back to bite him this week, with the Lions falling way behind the Patriots early.
• Coming off the ankle injury, St. Brown played just 21 snaps in this one, as Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported would likely be the case. St. Brown was at least targeted on 6 of his 17 routes (35%).

Green Bay Packers

RB snap rates:

Aaron Jones - 73%

A.J. Dillon - 32%

Route rates:

Aaron Jones - 63%

A.J. Dillon - 26%

Allen Lazard - 95%

Romeo Doubs - 88%

Randall Cobb - 70%

Christian Watson - 21%

Amari Rodgers - 2%

Robert Tonyan - 53%

Marcedes Lewis - 23%

Tyler Davis - 7%

Josiah Deguara - 7%

Takeaways:

• This was a season-high snap rate for Jones – and his 2nd highest route rate. They were season lows in snap rate and route rate for Dillon.
• Cobb easily set season highs with a 70% route rate and 13 targets. We’ll see if that turns into a trend, but I wouldn’t trust him in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
• Tonyan has been stuck in this 50-60% route range – a bit lower than where it needs to be to make him a reliable fantasy play.

Houston Texans

RB snap rates:

Dameon Pierce - 79%

Rex Burkhead - 21%

Route rates:

Dameon Pierce - 50%

Rex Burkhead - 35%

Brandin Cooks - 92%

Nico Collins - 92%

Tyler Johnson - 50%

Phillip Dorsett - 8%

O.J. Howard - 62%

Jordan Akins - 35%

Mason Schreck - 31%

Takeaways:

• A season-high snap rate for Pierce – and his 2nd straight game with more routes than Burkhead. The rookie is looking like a borderline RB1 if this usage continues.
• Howard has posted 62% and 65% route rates in Houston’s last 2 games. He should at least be rostered in all TE-premium leagues.

Indianapolis Colts

RB snap rates:

Deon Jackson - 58%

Phillip Lindsay - 38%

Nyheim Hines - 4% (injured)

Route rates:

Deon Jackson - 49%

Phillip Lindsay - 25%

Nyheim Hines - 4% (injured)

Michael Pittman - 98%

Parris Campbell - 96%

Alec Pierce - 74%

Ashton Dulin - 11%

Michael Strachan - 8%

Kylen Granson - 43%

Mo Alie-Cox - 40%

Jelani Woods - 26%

Takeaways:

• Jackson is the Colts RB to play in Week 6 if both Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) are out.
• Pierce has totaled 20 targets for a 17.4% share over the past 3 weeks, despite running a route on just 55% of pass plays during that span. Pierce has a slightly higher target-per-route-run rate than Michael Pittman on the season (19.3% to 18.9%).
• Just when it looked like Alie-Cox was trending up, he dips back behind Granson in routes. Continue to avoid Colts TEs.

Jacksonville Jaguars

RB snap rates:

Travis Etienne - 53%

James Robinson - 40%

JaMycal Hasty - 4%

Route rates:

Travis Etienne - 55%

James Robinson - 31%

JaMycal Hasty - 0%

Christian Kirk - 96%

Marvin Jones - 86%

Zay Jones - 82%

Jamal Agnew - 8%

Evan Engram - 82%

Dan Arnold - 14%

Takeaways:

• This backfield seems to be shifting in Etienne’s direction. These were season highs in snap rate and route rate. Etienne has matched Robinson with 18 carries over the last 2 weeks and out-targeted him 6 to 2.
• Kirk bombed in the box score for the 2nd straight week and drew just 6% of Jacksonville’s targets. He’d seen a 20+% target share in each of his first 4 games, though, so this looks like an outlier.
• Zay Jones has quietly averaged 8 targets on a 20% share in his 4 games.
• Engram has posted strong route rates all season and delivered a 6-69 line on 10 targets (21% share) in this one. He’s up to 9th among TEs in routes and 12th in targets.

Kansas City Chiefs

RB snap rates:

Jerick McKinnon - 53%

Clyde Edwards-Helaire - 43%

Isiah Pacheco - 3%

Route rates:

Jerick McKinnon - 51%

Clyde Edwards-Helaire - 35%

Isiah Pacheco - 2%

JuJu Smith-Schuster - 88%

Marquez Valdes-Scantling - 86%

Mecole Hardman - 45%

Skyy Moore - 31%

Justin Watson - 10%

Travis Kelce - 88%

Noah Gray - 27%

Jody Fortson - 14%

Takeaways:

• We finally got that floor game from Edwards-Helaire that we said was coming based on his usage. McKinnon has now played more snaps than CEH in 3 of 5 games and run more routes in 3 games.
• Moore’s playing time is slowly creeping up. Route rates:
  • Week 1 - 16%
  • Week 2 - 0%
  • Week 3 - 9%
  • Week 4 - 25%
  • Week 5 - 31%

Las Vegas Raiders

RB snap rates:

Josh Jacobs - 81%

Brandon Bolden - 16%

Zamir White - 5%

Route rates:

Josh Jacobs - 46%

Brandon Bolden - 22%

Zamir White - 3%

Davante Adams - 100%

Mack Hollins - 92%

Hunter Renfrow - 73%

Keelan Cole - 5%

Jesper Horsted - 62%

Darren Waller - 16% (injured)

Takeaways:

• Jacobs is getting elite usage and playing as well as any RB in the NFL right now. Over the last 3 weeks, he’s handled 62 of 69 RB carries (90%) and drawn 16 targets (15%).
• Renfrow’s 73% route rate was disappointing after his 87% in the opener. It’s possible that Renfrow was limited after missing the previous 2 games.

Los Angeles Chargers

RB snap rates:

Austin Ekeler - 59%

Joshua Kelley - 38%

Sony Michel - 3%

Route rates:

Austin Ekeler - 50%

Joshua Kelley - 33%

Sony Michel - 0%

Mike Williams - 88%

Josh Palmer - 88%

DeAndre Carter - 60%

Jason Moore - 20%

Gerald Everett - 70%

Tre McKitty - 33%

Donald Parham - 15%

Takeaways:

• Kelley seems to have moved clear ahead of Michel for the #2 spot in this backfield. Kelley isn’t a standalone fantasy option but is worth stashing as an Ekeler handcuff.
• Over his ankle injury, Palmer moved back ahead of Carter in routes after trailing in Week 4. That puts Palmer back in the WR3 mix for as long as WR Keenan Allen is out.
• Everett saw a season-low 3 targets, but his 70% route rate was his 2nd highest of the year. He remains a low-end TE1.

Los Angeles Rams

RB snap rates:

Darrell Henderson - 56%

Cam Akers - 30%

Malcolm Brown - 12%

Route rates:

Darrell Henderson - 54%

Cam Akers - 10%

Malcolm Brown - 10%

Cooper Kupp - 96%

Allen Robinson - 86%

Ben Skowronek - 86%

Tutu Atwell - 16%

Brandon Powell - 8%

Tyler Higbee - 76%

Kendall Blanton - 4%

Takeaways:

• We at least got a clear role distinction in this backfield this week. Akers handled all 13 RB carries; Henderson garnered 5 of the 6 RB targets.
• Brown got involved for the 1st time this season. His role might expand if Akers and Henderson continue to struggle.
• Skowronek has more targets, catches and receiving yards than Robinson through 5 games – despite running 18 fewer routes.

Miami Dolphins

RB snap rates:

Raheem Mostert - 69%

Myles Gaskin - 19%

Chase Edmonds - 15%

Route rates:

Raheem Mostert - 54%

Myles Gaskin - 22%

Chase Edmonds - 15%

Jaylen Waddle - 83%

Trent Sherfield - 76%

Tyreek Hill - 66% (injured)

Cedrick Wilson - 29%

River Cracraft - 20%

Mike Gesicki - 66%

Durham Smythe - 12%

Tanner Conner - 7%

Takeaways:

• Mostert over the last 2 weeks:
  • 70% snap rate
  • 59% route rate
  • 33 of 43 RB carries (77%)
  • 6 targets (8.5%)
• I’d try to keep Edmonds stashed this week. But if he gets out-snapped by Gaskin again in Week 6, Edmonds will be droppable.

Minnesota Vikings

RB snap rates:

Dalvin Cook - 57%

Alexander Mattison - 43%

Route rates:

Dalvin Cook - 40%

Alexander Mattison - 40%

Justin Jefferson - 100%

Adam Thielen - 100%

K.J. Osborn - 81%

Jalen Reagor - 2%

Irv Smith - 69%

Johnny Mundt - 17%

Takeaways:

• This was the closest snap split between Cook and Mattison of the season and the 1st time Mattison matched Cook in routes. We can’t really say it’s a result of Cook’s shoulder injury, either, because he wasn’t even listed on the Week 5 injury report.
• Smith’s route rates:
  • Week 1 - 44%
  • Week 2 - 60%
  • Week 3 - 55%
  • Week 4 - 64%
  • Week 5 - 69%
• Smith is to the point where we can at least consider him as a matchup-based spot starter.

New England Patriots

RB snap rates:

Rhamondre Stevenson - 90%

Damien Harris - 10% (injured)

Route rates:

Rhamondre Stevenson - 62%

Damien Harris - 4% (injured)

Jakobi Meyers - 92%

Kendrick Bourne - 77%

Tyquan Thornton - 58%

DeVante Parker - 46%

Nelson Agholor - 15%

Lil’Jordan Humphrey - 4%

Hunter Henry - 85%

Takeaways:

• RB Pierre Strong was a healthy scratch for this one, so Harris’ injury left Stevenson as the Patriots’ only RB. Strong figures to be active for Week 6, but expect Stevenson to dominate backfield work.
• Total shakeup in New England’s WR corps, with Bourne and Thornton (in his NFL debut) moving past Parker and Agholor in the pecking order. Thornton might be worth adding in very deep leagues.
• Meyers hogged 38% of the targets in this game and is sitting on a huge 31% share across his 3 games this season.
• Henry’s route rate spiked with TE Jonnu Smith out, and his 5 targets were a 24% share of the team total.

New Orleans Saints

RB snap rates:

Alvin Kamara - 73%

Mark Ingram - 22%

Dwayne Washington - 3%

Route rates:

Alvin Kamara - 69%

Mark Ingram - 10%

Dwayne Washington - 0%

Tre’Quan Smith - 79%

Marquez Callaway - 79%

Chris Olave - 59% (injured)

Keith Kirkwood - 38%

Deonte Harty - 7%

Juwan Johnson - 55%

Adam Trautman - 45%

Takeaways:

• Kamara in 2 healthy games this season:
  • 71% snaps
  • 64% routes
  • 38 of 61 non-QB carries (includes Taysom Hill) (62%)
  • 13 targets (20%)

New York Giants

RB snap rates:

Saquon Barkley - 68%

Matt Breida - 29%

Route rates:

Saquon Barkley - 59%

Gary Brightwell - 9%

Marcus Johnson - 88%

Darius Slayton - 68%

Richie James - 65%

David Sills - 26%

Daniel Bellinger - 59%

Tanner Hudson - 47%

Chris Myarick - 12%

Takeaways:

• Barkley missed 1 series with a shoulder injury but was able to return.
• Slayton drew a team-high 7 targets (26% share), but I wouldn’t go trusting him in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
• This was a season-high route rate for Bellinger, but his 11% target share was his lowest in the last 3 weeks.

New York Jets

RB snap rates:

Breece Hall - 69%

Michael Carter - 42%

Route rates:

Breece Hall - 54%

Michael Carter - 31%

Corey Davis - 92%

Elijah Moore - 81%

Garrett Wilson - 73%

Braxton Berrios - 23%

Jeff Smith - 8%

C.J. Uzomah - 54%

Tyler Conklin - 35%

Takeaways:

• This was a season-high snap rate for Hall and a season-low for Carter.
• Jets WR target shares with QB Zach Wilson the last 2 weeks
  • Davis - 17.5%
  • Wilson - 17.5%
  • Moore - 14.0%
• We’ll see if Conklin pops up on the injury report this week, but he obviously can’t be trusted in Week 6 fantasy lineups.

Philadelphia Eagles

RB snap rates:

Miles Sanders - 74%

Kenneth Gainwell - 22%

Trey Sermon - 4%

Route rates:

Miles Sanders - 66%

Kenneth Gainwell - 12%

Trey Sermon - 7%

DeVonta Smith - 100%

A.J. Brown - 83%

Quez Watkins - 78%

Zach Pascal - 10%

Dallas Goedert - 93%

Jack Stoll - 12%

Grant Calcaterra - 7%

Takeaways:

• These were season highs in snap rate and route rate for Sanders.
• And season lows in snap rate and route rate for Gainwell.
• Eagles WR targets since Week 1:
  • Smith - 34
  • Brown - 32

Pittsburgh Steelers

RB snap rates:

Jaylen Warren - 51%

Najee Harris - 49%

Route rates:

Jaylen Warren - 47%

Najee Harris - 27%

Diontae Johnson - 93%

Chase Claypool - 92%

George Pickens - 85%

Miles Boykin - 7%

Steven Sims - 2%

Zach Gentry - 49%

Pat Freiermuth - 39% (injured)

Connor Heyward - 17%

Takeaways:

• Harris was pulled for the 4th quarter of this blowout loss, so don’t put too much stock into his snap and route rates. But …
• Per CBS’ Jacob Gibbs, Harris has played just 26% of Pittsburgh’s 3rd downs over the last 2 games. Warren has played the other 74%. That’s a major problem.
• WR target shares from QB Kenny Pickett in the last game-and-a-half:
  • Johnson - 23.0%
  • Pickens - 18.4%
  • Claypool - 15.3%

San Francisco 49ers

RB snap rates:

Jeff Wilson - 58%

Tevin Coleman - 29%

Jordan Mason - 2%

Route rates:

Jeff Wilson - 47%

Tevin Coleman - 22%

Jordan Mason - 0%

Brandon Aiyuk - 92%

Deebo Samuel - 89%

Jauan Jennings - 33%

Ray-Ray McCloud - 28%

Danny Gray - 8%

George Kittle - 86%

Charlie Woerner - 14%

Takeaways:

• Wilson ceded some work to Coleman in this one, but a big 49ers lead might have been the culprit. Wilson still handled 17 of 25 RB carries (68%).
• Kittle has posted a strong 86% route rate in each of his 3 games this season and has seen 17.4% of 49ers targets.

Seattle Seahawks

RB snap rates:

Ken Walker - 57%

Rashaad Penny - 28% (injured)

DeeJay Dallas - 21%

Route rates:

Ken Walker - 44%

DeeJay Dallas - 26%

Rashaad Penny - 9%

D.K. Metcalf - 100%

Tyler Lockett - 100%

D’Wayne Eskridge - 53%

Noah Fant - 59%

Will Dissly - 44%

Colby Parkinson - 29%

Takeaways:

• With Penny out for the season and RB Travis Homer on IR for at least another 2 games, this should be down to a 2-man backfield. Look for Walker to dominate the rushing work. We’ll see how the passing-down snaps are divvied.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

RB snap rates:

Leonard Fournette - 62%

Rachaad White - 39%

Route rates:

Leonard Fournette - 55%

Rachaad White - 41%

Mike Evans - 86%

Russell Gage - 75%

Scotty Miller - 55%

Chris Godwin - 54%

Jaelon Darden - 18%

Cade Otton - 91%

Kyle Rudolph - 7%

Ko Kieft - 2%

Takeaways:

• It looks like the Bucs are serious about deploying more of a committee backfield with White joining Fournette. That might make Fournette more of a low-end RB1, while White could have RB3 or flex value, especially as the bye weeks start rolling in.
• The Athletic's Greg Auman speculated that the Bucs wanted to get Godwin some rest after taking a 21-0 lead midway through the 3rd quarter. We'll keep a close eye on his practice participation this coming week.
• 91% routes and a 13.5% target share for Otton. He deserves TE1 consideration in Week 6 if TE Cameron Brate remains out with his concussion.

Tennessee Titans

RB snap rates:

Derrick Henry - 64%

Dontrell Hilliard - 31%

Hassan Haskins - 3%

Route rates:

Dontrell Hilliard - 55%

Derrick Henry - 24%

Hassan Haskins - 3%

Robert Woods - 94%

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine - 91%

Kyle Phillips - 52%

Cody Hollister - 15%

Dez Fitzpatrick - 9%

Austin Hooper - 67%

Geoff Swaim - 24%

Chig Okonkwo - 18%

Takeaways:

• Henry’s route rate sunk back down to 24% after spiking to 50% and 41% the previous 2 weeks. He saw 2 targets for an 8.0% share.

Washington Commanders

RB snap rates:

J.D. McKissic - 41%

Antonio Gibson - 32%

Brian Robinson - 29%

Route rates:

J.D. McKissic - 51%

Antonio Gibson - 28%

Brian Robinson - 11%

Terry McLaurin - 98%

Curtis Samuel - 91%

Cam Sims - 62%

Dyami Brown - 34%

Dax Milne - 2%

John Bates - 49%

Cole Turner - 49%

Armani Rogers - 6%

Takeaways:

• This was an ugly 3-man committee backfield in Week 5. We’ll see how it evolves as Robinson settles in, but it’s a situation to try to avoid in Week 6.
• McLaurin has seen just 15.7% of Commanders targets through 5 games.
• Samuel is sitting on a 21.4% target share.
• We’ll see if Brown’s 2-TD game earns him a bigger role going forward, but he can’t be trusted in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
• Bates and Turner split routes and targets (3 apiece) with TE Logan Thomas out.
