Good morning.

Week 5 is officially in the books, and it was another wild one…

Unfortunately, my fantasy team couldn’t overcome a 30-point deficit because I went up against Rico f***ing Dowdle.

Let’s hope we find some waiver wire studs like that this week too..

Buying Cannabis Online Is Now Legal, And Incredibly Convenient

For years, buying cannabis meant taking a trip to a dispensary, dealing with long lines, limited selection, and inconsistent pricing. But thanks to changing laws and innovative online retailers, buying high-quality THC products is now 100% federally legal—and more convenient than ever.

And when it comes to quality and reliability, Mood is leading the way…

Because they’ve completely flipped the script on cannabis shopping. Instead of memorizing hundreds of confusing strain names – like “Gorilla Glue” and "Purple Monkey Breath" – you simply choose how you want to feel: Creative, Social, Focused, Relaxed, Happy, Aroused, and more.

Each gummy is formulated with the perfect blend of Delta-9 THC and botanicals to deliver the perfect mood.

Want a great night’s sleep? Try the Sleepytime gummies. Need laser focus Mind Magic gummies have you covered. Hotter sex? Try the Sexual Euphoria gummies.

It's cannabis shopping that actually makes sense for “normal” people.

Running Back

Cardinals RB Michael Carter (42%) played 57.4% of the snaps in Week 5 and had a team-high 18 carries for 51 yards and a TD against the Titans. Carter also led the backfield in pass routes (18) and had five catches for 22 yards, per FantasyPros’ Pat Fitzmaurice. He was the RB1 in Arizona, and Emari Demercado’s brainfart at the goal line should only help cement that role.

The aforementioned Panthers RB Rico Dowdle (59%) started in place of the injured Chuba Hubbard and turned 26 touches into 234 yards (the most by a player in a single game this year, per Footballguys’ Dave Kulge) and a TD for an insane 32.4 PPR points. Hubbard was the lead back all season, and could return to that role as soon as this week against Dallas. But if Uncle Rico somehow slipped through the cracks in your league last week, he’s still worth an add now as a FLEX-with-benefits.

Saints RB Kendre Miller (21%) has seen a steady increase in his workload:

Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara just played a season low 56% of the Saints’ snaps in Week 5. Miller has also looked the more explosive back this season, earning 114 scrimmage yards over the last two games—averaging 5.2 yards per touch to Kamara’s 4.1, per Yahoo’s Justin Boone.

Chargers RBs Hassan Haskins (0%) and Kimani Vidal (0%) will split duties in the backfield now that Omarion Hampton has landed on IR. Experts differ on which RB will lead the way, but most agree it’ll be close to an even split. At the end of the day, don’t spend too much FAAB here—LA’s o-line is really banged up and these two are pretty mediocre talents.

• Titans RB Tyjae Spears (28%) returned from IR last week, but mustered just four carries for 14 yards rushing without a target on a 25% snap share. He’s still worth a cheap add as an explosive handcuff/change-of-pace back.

• Jets RB Isaiah Davis (6%) is the top backup to Breece Hall now that Braelon Allen is expected to miss two months or more with a knee injury.
