NFL All Day Playbook | Week 5

Injuries, Surprises, and Strategic Swings

Overview:

Four weeks in, and the NFL All Day Playbook is officially a rollercoaster. Injuries, bye weeks, and breakout performances are reshaping the landscape, and collectors who adapt fast are the ones stacking rewards.

Jonathan Taylor is back—and he’s not easing in. After a strong Week 4 showing, he’s set to face a Raiders defense that’s been soft against the run. James Cook is quietly climbing the ranks too, now sitting as a top-three PPR back. His matchup against the Patriots offers a chance to rack up yardage, especially with Buffalo leaning into the ground game. If you need a receiving running back, Christian McCaffrey remains one of the most reliable receiving backs in the league.

At wide receiver, Puka Nacua continues to defy expectations. Even with a tough draw against the 49ers, his target volume is elite, and he’s seeing consistent red zone looks. Amon-Ra St. Brown remains a reliable option in Detroit’s passing game, with steady targets and red zone involvement. He’s not posting monster yardage, but his consistency makes him a solid Playbook contributor.

Quarterback play is where things get interesting. Jared Goff is projected to be one of the league leaders in passing yards this week, thanks to Detroit’s aggressive air attack and a matchup against a Bengals defense that’s been vulnerable through the air. Goff’s precision and volume make him a prime Playbook candidate for the yardage objectives, but Dak or Justin Herbert have the consistency to accumulate pass attempts.

And don’t forget: the Bears, Falcons, Packers, and Steelers are all on bye. That means no Bijan Robinson, DJ Moore, or Najee Harris this week. If you’ve been leaning on those stars, it’s time to dig deeper.

Quick team check: The Bills & Eagles are the only undefeated teams remaining. The Jets & Saints are the only two teams are winless. Top teams will keep feeding Playbook studs. Bottom-feeders? They’ve got sporadic gems—but mostly duds.

Objectives have been updated with differs slightly from last week. If you’re in Classic mode, watch for cooldowns based on last week’s player usage and moment ownership. If you’re in a Huddle, don’t forget to lock in your three lineups to maximize standing and rewards.

  • The more you and your teammates play, the stronger your Huddle becomes

  • Making the right picks boosts your chances of climbing to the top of the leaderboard to win big
