St. Louis Rams
Todd Gurley (Running Back): Gurley is a monster. He officially is one of the few players to look like they were worth a first round price tag. Gurley finished the day with 30, that's right, 30 carries for 159 yards. Gurley has not yet seen the end zone however his massive yardage and usage totals make him a fantasy stud. Expect and even better game plan for how to use Gurley after their bye week.
Tavon Austin (Wide Receiver): Austin has been probably the most creatively used player in the entire league. He seemingly finds the end zone for the Rams team every week and week 5 was no different. Austin ended the game catching 2 out of 5 targets for 6 yards and a touchdown. He also had 3 carries for 22 yards. Austin should still continue to see the end zone however it will vary every week how he gets in.
Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers (Quarterback): Rodgers had a very uncharacteristic day throwing 2 interceptions and losing a fumble. Rodgers also went 19 of 30 from the field for 241 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also carried the ball 8 times for 39 yards. Rodgers should have an easier matchup in week 6 against the Chargers.
Eddie Lacy (Running Back): Lacy has come out of the gate slow this season and his ankle injury did not help. Lacy finished week 5 with just 13 carries for 27 yards and 1 reception for 8 yards. Lacy should have an easier time against the Chargers.
James Jones/Ty Montgomery/Randall Cobb (Wide Receiver): Cobb disappeared this week as Jones and Montgomery saw the end zone. Cobb finished the day catching 3 out of 6 targets for 23 yards however James Jones caught 2 out of his 3 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown. Montgomery also took full advantage of his opportunities reeling in 4 out of 5 targets for 59 yards and a touchdown. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Green Bay so it will be tough to tell who would end up leading this receiving corps at the end of the year.
