Week 5 Beyond the Box Score: Hidden yards lost on penalties, dropped touchdowns, MORE
STACKED extracted the fantasy-relevant player signal from this video and kept the full transcript here for context.
Player insights
Aaron Jones
Jones was tackled at the 1-yard line on multiple occasions in Week 5, though these instances occurred on the same drive, limiting the total missed touchdown opportunities compared to other backs who had separate red zone chances.
Insight pageAmon-Ra St. Brown
St. Brown had a 15-plus yard gain wiped away due to penalty in Week 5, and dropped a 2-yard touchdown in the corner of the end zone, representing a missed scoring opportunity in the red zone.
Insight pageBrenton Strange
Strange was tackled at the 1-yard line on two separate occasions across different drives in Week 5 but failed to score. On the first instance before halftime, the Jaguars gave the ball to Chris Rodriguez who fumbled; on the second instance, Rodriguez whiffed a block that could have been a touchdown for Beashaun Tooton. Ian Hartitz noted this was close to having a massive Week 5 for Strange, particularly given his boom performance against the Bengals in Week 4, but offensive scheme issues limited his red zone opportunities.
Insight pageCarnell Tate
Tate had a 32-yard catch nullified by a holding penalty in Week 5, and accumulated at least 90 unrealized air yards in the week, indicating downfield opportunities that went incomplete or were dropped.
Insight pageChris Olave
Was the target on a desperation deep ball from Tyler Shuck late in the game when the team was down multiple scores on third and 10, a situation-driven play that didn't reflect well on Shuck's decision-making.
Insight pageChris Rodriguez
Rodriguez had a disastrous Week 5 in goal-line situations: fumbled at the 1-yard line before halftime (ruled dead by refs), whiffed a block that cost Beashaun Tooton a potential touchdown, and lined up as wildcat QB with a false start that prevented another scoring opportunity. Ian Hartitz criticized the Jaguars' over-reliance on Rodriguez in goal-line situations, noting Trevor Lawrence had nine red zone touchdowns last year and suggesting offensive coordinator Liam Cohen is getting too cute with the play-calling. Hartitz called it "very, very rough stuff."
Insight pageChristian Watson
Watson caught a 53-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love on the play immediately after Sturdivant's OPI-negated TD in Week 5. Watson ranks fourth in the NFL in receiving yards; he and Matthew Golden are the foundation of the Packers' passing game, which is being built through these two wide receivers.
Insight pageDallas Goedert
Derrick Henry
Henry was tackled at the 1-yard line on two separate occasions in Week 5 against the Falcons—once on a wildcat snap, once in overtime with Tyler Huntley sneaking it in instead—missing out on significant touchdown upside. In an alternate simulation, Henry would have had three touchdowns instead of one. Ian Hartitz noted Henry came close to scoring two additional touchdowns but settled for field goals instead.
Insight pageDontayvion Wicks
Wicks accumulated at least 90 unrealized air yards in Week 5 and drew two defensive pass interference penalties for 24 total yards. One DPI came on an out route on the sideline around the 5-yard line. Additionally, Wicks was wide open for a potential 59-yard touchdown in Week 5, but Jalen Hurts could not quite get on the same page and overthrew him. Ian Hartitz notes this was a chemistry issue with double moves, as quarterbacks practice more downfield go balls that don't involve double moves, making it harder to execute timing on such routes.
Insight pageIsaac TeSlaa
Was open in the back of the end zone for an 8-yard touchdown in Week 5, but the pass was overthrown; a clear lost scoring opportunity for the Lions receiver.
Insight pageJ Michael Sturdivant
Sturdivant scored his first career touchdown on a 43-yard reception in Week 5, but the score was negated by an offensive pass interference penalty when he hit the cornerback in the head before gaining separation.
Insight pageJalen Brooks
Brooks accumulated at least 90 unrealized air yards in Week 5 with the Cardinals, indicating downfield opportunities that went incomplete or were dropped.
Insight pageJamaal Williams
Williams was tackled at the 1-yard line on multiple occasions in Week 5, though these instances occurred on the same drive, limiting the total missed touchdown opportunities compared to other backs who had separate red zone chances.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
Drew two defensive pass interference penalties for 46 total yards in Week 5, including a deep ball on a bad underthrow where he had to come back and the corner was in a bad position. Ian Hartitz notes he can't say the ball placement was poor or that Waddle would have had a massive day if not for the penalties, suggesting the DPI penalties masked what could have been a disappointing performance.
Insight pageJosh Cameron
Cameron returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown in Week 5, but the score was called back due to penalty. The play demonstrates Cameron's continued contributions as a receiver, blocker, and returner, though the touchdown did not count on the scoreboard.
Insight pageKevin Coleman
Coleman accumulated at least 90 unrealized air yards in Week 5, indicating downfield opportunities that went incomplete or were dropped.
Insight pageLaquon Treadwell
Treadwell accumulated at least 90 unrealized air yards in Week 5, indicating he had downfield opportunities that went incomplete or were dropped, reflecting volume from the Colts passing game.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
Nabers had 129 unrealized air yards in Week 5, tied for league-leading with D'Arno Mooney, despite an excellent day with 20 targets. Ian Hartitz notes he left meat on the bone, suggesting even more upside was available beyond his strong performance. Additionally, Nabers had a potential 39-yard touchdown that went off his fingertips; while a better throw from James Winston probably gets a touchdown, Hartitz notes that as a superstar receiver, Nabers would have liked to make that catch.
Insight pageMark Andrews
Had a horrific Week 5 performance: dropped a 3-yard touchdown, likely dropped a 2-point conversion (despite a good play by Jessie Bates punching the ball out), dropped a third-down conversion at another point, and fumbled a ball taken directly back for a touchdown. Ian Hartitz described it as 'truly appalling stuff' in a primetime meltdown alongside Jake Ferguson, particularly disappointing on a day when Isaiah Likely went crazy.
Insight pageMatthew Golden
Golden has been amazing this season, ranking sixth in the NFL in receiving yards. He leads the entire league with 472 unrealized air yards on the season, a massive gulf ahead of second place (Roman Wilson and Michael Wilson with 392), indicating consistent downfield volume and opportunity in the Packers passing game.
Insight pageMichael Wilson
Wilson accumulated at least 90 unrealized air yards in Week 5, indicating downfield opportunities that went incomplete or were dropped in the Cardinals passing game.
Insight pageRhamondre Stevenson
Roman Wilson
Wilson has accumulated 392 unrealized air yards on the season, tied for second place with Michael Wilson, indicating consistent downfield opportunities in the Packers passing game.
Insight pageRomeo Doubs
Doubs had at least 90 unrealized air yards in Week 5 and drew two defensive pass interference penalties for 51 total yards downfield. Ian Hartitz called it a very frustrating game for Drake Maye, noting Doubs had no egregious drops but one end-zone drop and a deep ball ruled incomplete, leaving the Patriots wanting more despite Maye playing incredibly. One DPI came on an out route on the sideline around the 5-yard line.
Insight pageTre Tucker
Missed a potential 31-yard touchdown in Week 5 when Kirk Cousins underthrew him. Ian Hartitz notes Cousins was under a lot of pressure on that play, providing context but still representing a lost scoring opportunity that impacts Tucker's fantasy ceiling.
Insight pageWoody Marks
Marks had a 24-yard touchdown run called back by a ticky-tack holding penalty on Brevin Jordan in Week 5. With Dameon Montgomery week-to-week, Marks will have increased opportunities; while the Texans O-line remains problematic, the C.J. Stroud-led offense is cooking and should generate more scoring opportunities. Marks has made the most of his opportunities so far this season.
