Every Monday morning during the fantasy football season, I put together a thread featuring data from the week's games. This isn't about takes. It's just about providing information.
Here's the Week 5 data dump.
Here's the Week 5 data dump.
2
On Thursday night, Bucky Irving saw his first goal-line rush since the 2024 season. Since the start of last year, including Week 5, Irving has played five snaps from the goal line, with two of those coming against the Cowboys.
3
Per Late-Round Fantasy Football's model, Irving had 19.6 expected PPR points in Week 5. He scored 31.5. His previous games were at 8.4, 13.5, 12.9, and 12.4 expected points.
4
Emeka Egbuka saw a 36% target share against Dallas. That was the first time a Buccaneers wideout had been above a 30% target share in a game this season. Over the last 365 days, Egbuka has just a 1.34 yards per route run rate, and he's averaging 8.6 PPR points per game.
5
George Pickens saw a season high 31% target share in Week 5. He had two end-zone targets, the same number he had from Weeks 1 through 4 combined. He actually saw fewer targets per route run with CeeDee Lamb off the field against the Bucs.
6
Javonte Williams has a 44.5% route share this year. It was 50.7% last year. His target share this year is 10.8%. Last year, it was 8.4%.
7
Jake Ferguson's yards per route run by year:
2022: 1.85
2023: 1.56
2024: 1.34
2025: 1.26
2026: 0.70
2022: 1.85
2023: 1.56
2024: 1.34
2025: 1.26
2026: 0.70
8
Just 44.4% of Dallas' drives have resulted in no score — touchdown or field goal — this year. That's the best rate in the league, and it's the sixth-best rate of any team through five weeks since 2016.
9
Bhayshul Tuten saw a 66.2% snap share and an 81.5% rush share against the Eagles. That was his highest snap share (previous high 57.4%) and rush share (68.0%) this season. He had 72 rushing yards against the Eagles, with 78 of them coming after contact.
10
Parker Washington had a 23.7% target share against the Eagles, up from his season-low 13% mark from last week against the Bengals. Washington's 15.8 expected PPR points in Week 5 was his best mark since Week 2.
11
Will Shipley was hurt in the first half against the Jags. Dameon Pierce saw every single offensive snap post-injury. (Carson Steele was active, too.)
12
Dallas Goedert returned from injury this week and ended up with a 67% route share. He led the team with 9 targets, or a 24.3% target share. He's seen target shares of 23% and 24% in his two completed games this season.
13
Darius Cooper ran just two fewer routes than Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon this week, but he finished with just an 8.1% target share (3 targets). He's now scored 4 touchdowns on 7 catches this year.
14
Over the last two weeks without DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon has a 21% target share on an air yards per target rate of 4.2. He hasn't seen a target of 15 or more air yards over these two games.
15
Jalen Hurts has hit 5 points in a game via rushing just once this year. So 20% of his starts. In 2025, he hit that mark in 47% of his games.
16
Per Next Gen Stats data, no team has been pressured more this year than the Philadelphia Eagles.
17
Luther Burden led Bears WRs and TEs with just 8.9 PPR points against the Packers. Rome Odunze saw a 22.5% target share — top among the group — but caught just 3 of 9 targets for 40 yards. The player second in target share for the Bears on Sunday? Roschon Johnson.
18
No one underperformed more versus expected PPR points in Week 5 than Rome Odunze. He scored 5 PPR points, when his expected total had him at 18.7.
19
Colston Loveland has seen 13% of his targets travel 15 or more air yards this year. In 2025, that number was 22%. His air yards per target rate is 6.3 this year, when it was 9.1 last year.
20
Since the start of last season, there have been seven instances where a quarterback had 20 or more drop backs and negative standard fantasy points via passing alone. Two of those happened in Week 5 (Tyson Bagent and Tyler Shough).
21
Jordan Love completed six passes of 20 or more air yards against the Bears on Sunday. That's the first time a quarterback had six (or more) of those completions in a game this year.
22
Christian Watson has a 22% target share this season. Matthew Golden is at 24%. The last time someone on the Packers finished the season with at least a 20% target share was in 2022 (Allen Lazard).
23
MarShawn Lloyd played 26 snaps (44%) while Pierre Strong was at 24 (41%) against the Bears. Strong played 75% of Green Bay's third-down snaps and ran 4 more routes than Lloyd. Kaleb Johnson played just nine snaps, all in the fourth quarter.
24
Carnell Tate saw a 14% target share against the Texans, a number bested by both Wan'Dale Robinson and Tyjae Spears. It was the first time his target share dropped below 20% in a game this season.
25
Tyjae Spears out-snapped Tony Pollard 30 to 29 in Week 5. Spears played 91% of the team's third-down snaps, and he ran 25 routes to Pollard's 12. He also saw 9 targets to Pollard's 1.
26
The Titans are now last in the NFL with six offensive touchdowns this year. Only nine teams have had a lower total through five weeks since 2016.
One of those nine teams is the 2025 Tennessee Titans.
One of those nine teams is the 2025 Tennessee Titans.
27
Post-David Montgomery injury, Woody Marks played all but one offensive snap for the Texans. That one snap was on the QB kneel. On identical yards before contact per attempt rates this year, Marks leads Montgomery in yards after contact per attempt 3.07 to 2.27.
28
For a second straight week, Jaylin Noel ran more routes than Xavier Hutchinson. Despite 5 more routes run for Noel, the two saw an identical target share (5 targets).
29
When Nico Collins has been on the field this year, CJ Stroud is averaging 0.57 standard fantasy points per drop back. That's close to where Patrick Mahomes is at this year (0.59). When Collins has been off the field, that falls to 0.32. That's close to Baker Mayfield (0.30).
30
The Bengals ran 63.5% of their offensive plays in Week 5 out of 12 personnel. From Weeks 1-4, that number hovered 42%. Also worth noting: They ran 28.5% of their offensive plays coming into the week with a 7+ point lead. On Sunday, that number was 65%.
31
Samaje Perine played just six fewer snaps than Chase Brown on Sunday, and he out-carried him 14 to 13. Brown had just a 42% rush share, when his previous low this year was 60%. Brown did double up Perine in routes.
32
Ja'Marr Chase ran a route on 97% of Cincinnati's dropbacks in Week 5, when Tee Higgins was at 76%. Chase out-targeted Higgins 10 to 4. Dohnte Meyers ran 10 routes (30% route share).
33
Ollie Gordon had a 66% snap share against the Bengals to go along with a 53% rush share and 50% route share. Last week, those numbers were 60%, 50%, and 45%. He has all four Miami running back goal-line rushes over the last two weeks.
34
Chris Bell has seen at least a 70% route share in each of his last two games, both the highest shares of his season. On 75 total routes, he has seen 5 targets and hasn't caught any of them.
35
Malik Willis had two designed runs in Week 5 (doesn't include sneaks), just the second time this year he's had more than one designed run in a game.
36
The Dolphins haven't run an offensive snap this year with the lead, and they've run a league-high 44% of their offensive plays while trailing by 10 or more points.

A Las Vegas wide receiver has hit an 18% target share or better in one game this season (Tre Tucker, Week 2, 24% target share).
42
Brock Bowers is averaging 0.67 PPR points per route run so far this year. Among tight ends with 100 or more routes run over the first five weeks since 2016, Bowers' start to the 2026 is fourth-best in PPR points per route run.
43
Kyler Murray had seven scrambles against the Saints. He's hit that high of a scramble mark in a single game just twice in his career, and it's his highest number of scrambles in a game since 2020.

46
Jauan Jennings has run 111 routes this year. He has 9 yards. Since 2016, there have been roughly 850 wide receiver seasons where the wideout had 100+ routes in Weeks 1-5. Jennings' 0.08 yards per route run rate is by far the worst of any of them.
47
Just 14.3% of Minnesota's drives have resulted in a touchdown this year. Only Tennessee is worse.
48
Chris Olave scored 8.6 PPR points against the Vikings. That's the first time he's dipped below 19 PPR points in a game since Week 14 of the 2025 season. He still had a 25% target share, a total he's gotten to in each of his last nine games.
49
CJ Donaldson led the Saints with 18 snaps (42%) on Sunday, but he had just a 24% rush share. Kendre Miller led with a 59% rush share. Alvin Kamara played 12 snaps, had 3 rushes, and ran 3 routes.

61
The last time we saw the Steelers without Michael Pittman, Roman Wilson ran 60% of his routes out of the slot, and he played in two-wide sets, not Bernard. On Sunday, in the first half, Bernard was in the slot more (56% vs. 25%), and he played in heavier personnel.

69
Only Jordan Love has as many 20+ air yard completions over the last two weeks as Jameis Winston. Winston has thrown it 20 or more air yards on 21.7% of his attempts during this time, only lower than Patrick Mahomes and Athan Kaliakmanis, two guys who didn't play Week 5.
70
Isaiah Likely over the last two weeks: 81% route share, 31% target share, 23 PPR points per game, 21.4 expected PPR points per game. Likely's expected PPR points per game mark is almost three points higher than any other tight end (Bowers is at 18.5 over the last two weeks).

Tre Harris was hurt against the Broncos. As a result, the Chargers had four players who ran more than 20 routes in Week 5, and he wasn't one of them. Those players were Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Theo Wease, Oronde Gadsden, and Charlie Kolar. Ladd McConkey didn't see a snap.
79
The Chargers are last in the league with an EPA per play rate of -0.17. In 2024 and 2025, when Tua Tagovailoa wasn't on the field, the Dolphins had a -0.23 EPA per play under Mike McDaniel. When Tua was on the field, they were at +0.03.
80
Jeremiyah Love out-snapped Tyler Allgeier 34 to 32 on Sunday, rushes were 12 to 3. Allgeier was used, once again, as their pass-protecting back: Love's last snap came with about 14 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Love has seen two targets over his last two games.
81
With Marvin Harrison Jr. off the team, the Cardinals ran 35.2% of their offensive plays out of 13 personnel on Sunday. That was the highest rate of the week by nearly 2x any other team. From Weeks 1-4, Arizona ran 13 personnel on 19.8% of their offensive plays.
82
The 13 personnel use impacted the WRs. Michael Wilson saw a 15% target share, which was the lowest of his season. His 83% route share was also lowest. Meanwhile, Kendrick Bourne saw a 17% target share, but his route share was 60%. From Weeks 1-4, his route share was 74%.
83
Naturally, the tight ends for Arizona were running more routes. Trey McBride saw a 94% route share, Elijah Higgins was at 41.5%, and Teagan Quitoriano at 32%. Higgins had a 15% route share Weeks 1-4. Quitoriano didn't have a single route.
84

85
Jameson Williams scored 18.7 PPR points against the Cardinals on Sunday. He also saw just a 14% target share. Jamo now has a 15.4% target share on the season. He was at 18.5% last year and 18.8% in 2024.
86
The Lions have 20 touchdowns through five games. That's tied for the fourth-highest mark through five games since 2020. One of the three teams ranked ahead of them are the 2025 Lions.
87
Mike Evans had a 37% target share against the Seahawks. That share was 44% after Deebo Samuel left the game in the third quarter — Evans ran 5 routes after Deebo left, and he saw a target on 4 of them. Brandin Cooks led the team in routes run after the Deebo injury.
88
Brock Purdy scored 16.2 standard points against the Seahawks yesterday. He averaged 11 points per game against them last year. Since the start of 2025, Purdy has averaged 12.7 points per game against the Seahawks and 23.3 points against everyone else.
89
Sam Darnold is last in the league in completion rate on throws that travel 0 to 10 air yards. He's third in completion rate on throws that go 20 or more air yards.
90
Emanuel Wilson saw a 60% snap share, 77% rush share, and 34% route share in Week 5. When he dominated in Week 4, those numbers were 59%, 68%, and 31%. He actually had the exact same expected point total (15.6) in both weeks.
91
Without Lamar Jackson last night, Zay Flowers saw a 29% target share, scoring 14.6 PPR points. He's had a 25.5% targets per route run rate with Jackson since the start of 2025, alongside a 3.33 yards per route run rate. Without Jackson, those numbers are 28.3% and 1.80.
92
Tyler Huntley has dropped back to pass 20 or more times in 13 games in his career. Last night was the second time he cleared 17 fantasy points.
93

94
41.7% of the touchdowns surrendered by Baltimore this year have come via the ground. That's tied with Carolina for the lowest rate in the league. Cleveland is on the other end, with 90.9% of their touchdowns allowed coming through the air.
95
Bijan Robinson had an 81% snap rate in Week 5, out-snapping Brian Robinson 52 to 14. From Weeks 1-4, that snap share split was 64.6% to 36.8%.
96
In Weeks 1 and 2, without Michael Penix, Drake London had a 19% target share and 7.2 PPR points per game. Since then, his target share is 35%, and he's averaging 20.6 PPR points per game.
