Wednesday Late Night Edition
Sunday
at a Glance
After taking a look back at Sunday Week 5,
there were a lot of fantasy football storylines, but these caught my attention
the most;
Rams
live up to the hype, offense doesn't.
It was a typical grueling divisional
matchup with the Seahawks and it gave us what we pretty much expected when two
teams know each other well; limited offense and lots of defense. The Rams made
a lot of mistakes in the game, but despite their 5 turnovers the Rams had a
chance to win this one at the end of the game. The overall numbers on offense
weren't great all-around, but Goff and company lived up to the hype and will
have better Sundays ahead.
Cam
is Back!
We should have got the hint two weeks ago
when Cam completed 22 of 29 passes for 316 yards and 3 touchdowns, but I
believe many thought we might see a meltdown after the ridiculous controversy
started from Cam's comments following his week 4 performance. To the contrary,
there was no meltdown, just Cam rising up once again with another prolific game
in Week 5. On the road against the Lions, Cam Newton resembled his MVP like
form passing for 355 yards, completing 79 percent of his passes and tossing 3
touchdowns again. Cam looks healthy and Cam looks back! He's an every week must
start.
Carson
Wentz has arrived
His name is not Cam, but the Eagles 2nd
year quarterback Carson Wentz played like Cam on Sunday and to be more
specific, he played great. This season the Eagles are one of the hotter teams
in the league at 4-1, and Wentz has been a big reason for this. On Sunday Wentz
completed 70 percent of his passes for 304 yards passing, and 4 touchdowns.
After 5 games Wentz has thrown for 1,573 yards, tossed 10 touchdowns and
currently is the No.6 fantasy QB. He's a fantasy QB1 and it's safe to say he's
arrived.
Get
ready for the Mack Attack
The Colts rookie running back finally had
a breakout game last Sunday rushing for 91 yards and a touchdown on 9 carries
after missing two games. Mack's 2017 campaign was off to a slow start and
slightly derailed with a shoulder injury. He had been sidelined for a couple of
weeks, but now that he's healthy and coming off a strong performance, according
to head coach Chuck Pagano the team needs to find ways to get Mack more
involved. Mack is worth rostering right now and fantasy owners should keep
close watch of the Indy backfield, changes could be coming.
That's My Take.
