While D.J. Moore (5-105-2) enjoyed the biggest revenge-game performance vs. his former Carolina Panthers, it was Stefon Diggs’ (6-82) postgame rendezvous with his former QB Josh Allen that resulted in one of the funniest moments of the year:

That side-eye is worth a thousand words. It’s the photographic embodiment of the quintessential WR tweet: “The enemy speaks kindly and holds a knife.”

We should all be eternally thankful for Diggs’ pettiness and grudge-holding, otherwise, we never would have been treated to this perfect snapshot.

Now we just need them to meet again in the playoffs …

Week 5 Takeaways: The Game Of The Year

by Pete Overzet

It's time for my weekly recap column where I round up six things—the good, the bad, and the ugly—that caught my eye on the Sunday main slate. 

Let's dig in …

🧨 The Ravens & Bengals go brrrrrr in the game of the year

There are only one or two games like this a year where everything comes together perfectly for a fantasy bonanza and that's exactly what happened in Cincy yesterday.

Joe Burrow exploded with 392 passing yards and 5 TDs. Both Ja'Marr Chase (10-193-2) and Tee Higgins (9-83-2) feasted in the Ravens’ secondary all day.

The Burrow double stacks won DFS players tournaments yesterday, but Lamar Jackson and the Ravens got the real-life W. Jackson threw for 4 TDs and three of them went to TEs. As you can imagine, Mark Andrews went off! Just kidding, Isaiah Likely (2) and an individual named "Charlie Kolar" (1) scored the TDs.

Andrews (4-55) did show some signs of life, but the Kolar trolling is almost too much to bear. Andrews needs to remain on benches until we get to the bottom of this Kolar body-snatching/cosplaying situation. 

🦘 An RB flippening in Jacksonville?

It's easy to get carried away and react to small sample sizes. Remember when people left D'Andre Swift for dead and now he's one of the hottest RBs in fantasy football? 

Anyway, I wanted to provide that caveat before ditching the long view and proclaiming Tank Bigsby the new RB1 in Jacksonville.

Consider this:

• He out-snapped Travis Etienne Jr. for the first time in his career yesterday.

• He went 13-101 with 2 TDs.

• He got both the rush attempts inside the 10-yard line.

• He had 107 yards after first contact (yes, he only had 101 yards rushing!).

• And finally, he looked absolutely incredible out there (Exhibit A, Exhibit B).

If we are being real, Etienne is obviously not going away—Doug Pederson said as much in his post-game press conference—but this deserves to be a split backfield going forward. Bigsby is simply running too well to keep off the field.
