Through just five games in 2025, Dalton Kincaid has recorded 20 catches for 287 yards and a single-season career-high three touchdowns on 24 targets. While this could be the start of a long-awaited breakout season for the third-year tight end, there are a couple of worrying signs for fantasy managers to be aware of. For one, Kincaid has yet to play more than 55% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in any game this year as he splits playing time with Bills tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes. Secondly, Kincaid is still averaging less than five targets per game, making him quite reliant on touchdowns for fantasy production. The 25-year-old has proven to have enough of a role in an excellent Bills offense that he profiles as a mid-to-low-end fantasy starter at the tight end position. Still, this may be a decent time to sell high on Kincaid.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is a volatile RB2 for the Week 6 Thursday night matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, despite his recent workhorse usage. Skattebo, currently the RB17 in fantasy points per game (12.26 FPTS/G) on the season, has commanded a 66.7% timeshare in his last two games, recording 63 carries for 240 yards and two touchdowns, plus 18 receptions for 143 yards. The Eagles defense is a moderate run matchup, ranking 22nd by allowing 126.8 rushing yards per game and giving up four rushing touchdowns, yet they are a top-tier challenge near the goal line, boasting the 3rd best red-zone defense with a 42.9% touchdown rate. Furthermore, the Eagles have been generous to fantasy running backs, allowing 23.26 fantasy points per game (25th in the NFL), but the potential return of Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Skattebo's costly red-zone fumble last week temper expectations, making him a touchdown-dependent RB2/Flex play.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton has flashed high-end potential through his first five NFL games, recording nine catches for 113 yards and three touchdowns on 14 targets. The 22-year-old has established himself as the clear WR3 in Seattle alongside star wideouts Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Horton is tough to trust for fantasy managers in the short term because of his low target volume in a run-heavy Seahawks offense. Still, he's a name to monitor and a player for deep-league fantasy managers to stash for his long-term upside.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker hauled in four catches for 62 yards on six targets in his team's Week 5 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 24-year-old now has 19 catches for 286 yards and four touchdowns through his first five games of 2025. Tucker's production is mostly buoyed by a 145-yard, three-touchdown game in Week 3. Still, he's not a bad option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues to have on their bench, particularly with Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) currently battling a knee injury and uncertain to play in Week 6. Tucker should be rostered in all leagues with 12 or more teams and profiles as a boom/bust WR4/flex option in Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White took full advantage of his opportunity to be the team's RB1 in Week 5 with Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) sidelined by injury. White recorded 71 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 18 total touches, and has now logged 213 yards from scrimmage and three scores on 49 total touches for the season. With Irving's status in doubt for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers, White looks poised for another week with a significant workload. The 26-year-old is a must-start running back in Week 6 and has a good chance to maintain that status for as long as Irving is unable to play.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is quietly putting together an excellent season through his first five games of 2025. The 32-year-old has completed 71.3% of his pass attempts for 1,356 yards and 10 touchdowns with just three interceptions. Prescott also leads the NFL in pass attempts, and he's piloting a Cowboys offense that is currently averaging over 30 points per game despite missing several starting offensive linemen and star wideout CeeDee Lamb (ankle) for the past two weeks. With Lamb potentially on his way back this week, Prescott's stellar play should continue. He gets a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers and profiles as a solid fantasy QB1.

Dynasty | The Browns have traded quarterback Joe Flacco to the Bengals. Dynasty Analysis: Flacco lost his job to Dillon Gabriel, who performed well enough in his first start for the Browns to feel comfortable moving forward without him. It's a move that's nominal as Flacco gets dealt to the Bengals in exchange for a flip-flop of 5th and 6th round picks. Still, the Browns get a little bit of value for a player they weren't planning on playing again this season anyway. Flacco will slide into the QB2 ranks again with the Bengals but they will need to be better in protection for him to do anything at all moving forward this season.

Dynasty | The Bengals have traded for Joe Flacco, moving Jake Browning to the bench. Dynasty Analysis: The player they acquired may be a surprise but the fact they acquired someone of note really isn't. Browning just hasn't played well this season and the season for the Bengals is on the brink of disaster. Browning will stay at the ready behind Flacco but he isn't roster worthy after this year's audition went horribly wrong.

Dynasty | Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham has been suspended for six games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Dynasty Analysis: It may not mean a thing as Beckham still hasn't signed with a team. With this news, that makes it even more unlikely he lands with a club moving forward. It would honestly be a surprise if Beckham played in the NFL again as injuries have clearly zapped him of his immense talent. If you were somehow still holding on to him, it's time to let it go.

Dynasty | The Jaguars have placed tight end Brenton Strange on injured reserve. Dynasty Analysis: Strange is dealing with a hip injury that's now going to keep him out for at least a month. Poised for a breakout this year, Strange has posted a 20/204/0 line so far and been a bit of a disappointment. Hunter Long looks to be the beneficiary of his absence and could be a good pickup this week. Strange's ADP is likely to go down a touch with his rough start to 2025.

Dynasty | Nyheim Hines has signed on with the Chargers practice squad. Dynasty Analysis: If this is the biggest move the Chargers make, it bodes well for the likes of Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal. It seemed inevitable the Chargers would sign someone after the losses of both Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton but Hines isn't much of a threat to this duo. Hines would be worth a roster spot should he be elevated to the active roster but he'd also likely clog a roster a bit as his ceiling is likely as a third down or receiving back. In the end, this is bigger news for Haskins and Vidal than Hines.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. continued his hot start to the season in a 40-6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. Pittman caught five of his six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win, giving him scores in four of his five games this year. The veteran receiver has been posting modest yardage totals as he's averaging 54.6 yards per game thus far, but he's emerged as Daniel Jones' favorite target so far. Pittman will look to stay hot in a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are allowing just the 20th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, but Pittman can be utilized as a WR3 heading into Week 6.

Despite finishing the game with just three catches for 20 yards, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington was heavily involved in the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Washington logged more snaps than any other Steelers tight end and was highly effective as a run-blocker, paving the way for running back Kenneth Gainwell's 99-yard rushing performance. According to head coach Mike Tomlin, Washington's increased utilization was by design. "You can't play 4-3 teams with 250-pound tight ends", Tomlin stated in a press conference on Tuesday. He also hinted that Washington could again see significant playing time in this week's divisional meeting with the Cleveland Browns, who boast a strong defensive front. The third-year pro isn't a fantasy option just yet, but if he continues to play ahead of Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith again on Sunday, it will be worth monitoring whether that usage starts to show up in the box score.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs turned in his best game of the season in a Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Downs caught six of his eight targets for a season-high 54 yards in a 40-6 blowout win on Sunday. The veteran wideout has been quiet to start the season, but he will hope his performance is a springboard to a larger role going forward. Downs will now prepare to host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. The Cardinals are allowing just the 20th-most fantasy points per game this year, but Downs should stay involved with Alec Pierce (concussion) expected to miss a third-straight game. Downs sets up as a WR5/flex option heading into Week 6.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has been one of the top rookies in the league this season. He stayed hot in a 40-6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5, catching all four of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win. Warren has now scored touchdowns in two straight games as he continues to operate as one of the top options in the Indy passing attack. The rookie will now turn his attention to a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been a decent matchup for tight ends this season, allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the position through five games. Warren sets up as a no-brainer TE1 in all fantasy leagues in Week 6.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy continued his slow start to the season in a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Jeudy finished with just two catches for 15 yards on five targets in the close loss to Minnesota. With Dillon Gabriel making his NFL debut, Jeudy finished third on the team in targets but was unable to do much with the looks, continuing what has been a disappointing campaign for Cleveland's No. 1 wideout. Jeudy now has just 15 catches for 197 scoreless yards through five games. He will hope to get things going in a Week 6 road matchup against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers. That being said, Jeudy's production has been too poor to trust him in fantasy, even in a plus matchup.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his hot start to the season in a 40-6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. Jones completed 20 of his 29 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout victory. The veteran quarterback's performance has been one of the best stories of the season as he now has thrown for 1,290 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions while adding three more rushing touchdowns. Jones will now prepare to host an Arizona Cardinals defense that has been tough on opposing passers this year. That being said, Jones has been consistent enough to trust as a low-end QB1 heading into Week 6.

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is accused of shoving his wife on the floor, ripping her hair out and trying to punch her stomach while pregnant, according to court documents.

Fantasy Spin: On the filed, Hill's season is over due to a dislocated left knee and multiple ligament tears, including his ACL, during a game against the New York Jets on Sept. 29.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. continued his hot start to the season in a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Fannin caught all four of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown. The rookie tight end gave fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel his first NFL passing touchdown with a one-yard grab in the first quarter. Fannin has now caught 21 passes for 173 yards and one touchdown through five games as he has established himself as a top target in Cleveland. He will now head on the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. The Steelers have been quite generous to tight ends this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position through four games. Fannin is looking like a low-end TE1 heading into Week 6.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond caught just two of his seven targets for 29 yards in a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Bond finished second on the team in targets in the close loss but was unable to get on the same page as rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was making his NFL debut. That being said, Bond's involvement in the passing game has been encouraging of late as he's drawn 13 targets over his past two contests. He will head on the road to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a divisional clash in Week 6. The Steelers have struggled against opposing receivers in four games this year, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game. Bond isn't a must-play, but he will be on the fantasy radar as a boom/bust flex option in a week with both the Vikings and the Houston Texans on bye.
