Week 5 – @ Philly – L 17-39
QB: Brees was rushed heavily and had some passes dropped. Still put up good numbers as garbage time saved him. Protection should be better than this.
RB: Ingram an average game as deficit limited touches. Looked good and was moving piles and getting extra yards. Would have been a huge game for him if the score was close.
WR: Cooks and Snead huge games although a decent chunk for both came in garbage time. Snead is the clear #2 option now and worth owning in leagues and starting when the match up is right. Not a superstar but a solid player. Skills are good overall but not elite anywhere.
TE: Watson a nice game making a TD grab. Still not being targeted enough to use and justifiably so. He’s a savvy veteran but the skills aren’t really there anymore.
OL: Solid run blocking. Was making good holes for runners. Awful pass protection. Just couldn’t handle D line at times. Has to be better than this.
Def: Pretty awful everywhere. Got ran on almost at will by O. Pass rush was nonexistent. Pass coverage was actually fairly good but it came against weaker receiving corps. Gave up good games everywhere.
