The much-maligned Jets quarterback got the ball out quickly and moved the offense against the Chiefs. This week, he gets to face a Broncos defense that hasn\u2019t been able to stop much of anything. Armed with a new confidence &#8212; and perhaps a better knowledge of the offense &#8212; I expect Wilson to hit new career heights by throwing three touchdown passes for the first time as a pro.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Week 5 NFL picks: 49ers top Cowboys to remain undefeated; Ravens beat Steelers in Pittsburgh            <\/li>\n<li>              Fantasy football 2023 Week 5 sleepers: Is it Kadarius Toney time?            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL Power Rankings, Week 5: 49ers reclaim No. 1 spot; Seahawks, Buccaneers crack top 10            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL QB Index, Week 5: Josh Allen claims No. 1 spot; Dak Prescott trending up            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL Offensive Player Rankings, Week 5: Ten players I want to see more involved moving forward            <\/li>\n<li>              RB Index, Week 5: Top 15 running backs at the quarter mark of 2023 NFL season            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.www.nfl.com\/image\/private\/t_thumb_squared\/f_auto\/league\/uqcdmmrb5kvlem83bcy3\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP\/\/\/wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My bold prediction hinges on the status of <span>Cooper Kupp<\/span>, who returned to practice this week after missing the first four games with a hamstring injury. If Kupp makes his 2023 debut on Sunday &#8212; and NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport says the veteran wideout should be good to go &#8212; rookie Puka Nacua will <em>still <\/em>lead the Los Angeles Rams in receptions and receiving yards, recording his fourth 100-yard game of the season. If Kupp doesn\u2019t play, the Eagles\u2019 defense will hold Nacua to fewer than five catches for the first time this season.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.www.nfl.com\/image\/private\/t_thumb_squared\/f_auto\/league\/su9rw7uzh4aeboxqrb6p\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP\/\/\/wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After rushing 340 times last season (second-most in the league, behind only Derrick Henry), <span>Josh Jacobs<\/span> is now pacing all running backs with 25 <em>targets <\/em>entering Week 5. Only 28 percent of his fantasy points came from receiving in 2022, but 61 percent of his fantasy points have come via the pass this season. Despite being targeted 225 times in his career, the Raiders\u2019 fifth-year back still has zero receiving touchdowns &#8212; the most targets without a score since targets became a stat in 1992. With Green Bay allowing the third-most receptions to running backs this season, Jacobs logs his first ever TD grab on Monday night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.www.nfl.com\/image\/private\/t_thumb_squared\/f_auto\/league\/fzdjeno2kr8yoluvfupa\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP\/\/\/wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a fever. And the only prescription is &#8230; more long touchdowns! After we saw just two TD runs of 50-plus yards in the first month of the season, Week 5 will give us <em>four <\/em>&#8212; which would be the most in a week since 2019 (also in Week 5). Oh, I\u2019m not finished. The players to do it? Travis Etienne (against the Bills in London), De\u2019Von Achane (against the Giants &#8230; is this even <em>bold<\/em>?), Breece Hall (against the Denver Swiss Cheese &#8230; I mean Broncos) and Josh Jacobs (against the Packers).

Now he gets a Vikings team that has allowed the third-most yards to receivers. A Kansas City wideout is bound to step up soon to become the playmaker Patrick Mahomes has been searching for, and I believe it will be Rice. The rookie breaks out with 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns to lead fantasy waiver wire columns everywhere next week.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.www.nfl.com\/image\/private\/t_thumb_squared\/f_auto\/league\/ripedhdk43qyhu91c3mg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP\/\/\/wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re in for a treat Sunday night with a highly anticipated matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
