NFL Sunday Week 5:
Sunday’s Heroes
Week 5 is in the books with all of the games now concluded. It’s once again that time of the week to look back on Sunday and recognize some of the memorable performances from our Gridiron Heroes.
These were some of the NFL Week 5 Sunday Heroes.
QB, Jared Goff (Lions) - The Lions quarterback enjoyed his best game of the season, completing 20 of 28 passes (71.4% completion rate), throwing for 236 yards and tossing three touchdowns. His week 5 performance was good enough for fantasy QB3. Up next for Goff and the Lions, the Buccaneers (allow the 8th fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks).
RB, Breece Hall (Jets) - The Jets running back Breece Hall enjoyed his 2023 season coming out party against the Broncos on Sunday. Hall rushed for 177 yards (led all running backs for the week) on 22 carries, averaging 8.0 yards per carry and added a 72 yard rushing touchdown. The 2nd year back also added three receptions for 17 yards on the day. His numbers were good enough for the fantasy RB3. Next week the Jets will play host to the Eagles (ranked 3rd vs run this season).
WR, DJ Moore (Bears) - The Bears wide receiver DJ Moore continued his strong play in week 5. In the Thursday night tilt, Moore was tremendous hauling in 8 passes for 230 yards receiving and three scores. He finished the week as the fantasy WR1. Next week the Bears will play host to the Vikings (have allowed the most receiving yards to wide receivers).
TE, Dallas Goedert (Eagles) - The Eagles flew into Sofi Stadium on Sunday and soared past the Rams led by Goedert and company. The Eagles tight end caught 8 passes on 9 targets and registered 117 yards receiving with one touchdown reception. His performance was good enough for fantasy TE2. Up next for Goedert and the Eagles are the Jets (over the last two weeks have allowed the most receiving yards to tight ends).
IDP, Quincy Williams (Jets) - The Jets 5th year linebacker had himself a day on Sunday. Williams recorded 5 solo tackles, 4 assists, one tackle for loss, and a forced fumble. Williams and the Jets defense harassed Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson all day wreaking havoc in the backfield. Williams added two sacks and 3 QB hits. Up next for Williams, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.
That's my take!
