FANTASY FOOTBALL SURPRISES AND DISAPPOINTMENTS – WEEK 5
By John Falabella
SURPRISES
Kyle Pitts – I am not surprised that Kyle Pitts had 9 catches for 119 yards and a TD this past Sunday but I am surprised that it took the Falcons this long to get him involved.
Mike Williams – He has over 100 yards more than Keenan Allen and 5 more TDs this season!
THE TOP 5 FANTASY WRs – Mike Williams, Cooper Kupp, Deebo Samuel, Tyreek Hill, Cordarelle Patterson. If this doesn’t surprise you, nothing will. Will this list look normal by the end of the season?
David Njoku – There was a David Njoku sighting in Los Angeles on Sunday… After starting the season with 7 catches and 101 yards over his first three games, he put up 7 catches for 149 yards and TD. This was the first time in his career that he had a 100 yard game.
Derrick Henry – Already has 640 rushing yards this season. That is 128 yards/game. He averaged 126.7/game last season so there has been no drop off. With the 17th game this year he is on pace to break Eric Dickerson’s single season record of 2,105 (Henry is on pace for 2,176).
Josh Allen – The Bills took on the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes on Sunday Night. Josh Allen was the best QB on the field, and to be honest, it wasn’t that close.
DISAPPOINTMENTS
Darren Waller – Over his last 4 games he has only 214 yards and 1 TD, have the defenses caught up?
AJ Brown – With Julio Jones out he only had 3 catches on 8 targets for 38 yards. He has yet to crack 50 yards in a game this season.
Brandon Aiyuk – With the 49ers struggling to move the ball Aiyuk has spent more time on the sideline than in the game. His best game thus far has been 4 catches for 37 yards.
Damien Harris – He fumbled again, this time on the goal line, and he is in danger of falling into the Patriots dog house like Laurence Maroney once did.
