Making His Return : Antonio Gates
Antonio Gates made his return to the lineup last night. The San Diego Chargers TE was sidelined for the first 4 games of the season. Gates was sitting on 99 career NFL touchdowns.

Gates finished his first game back for the season with 9 catches for 92 yards and 2 TD's.
Key Injury Of The Week : Jamaal Charles
Jamaal Charles suffered a season ending ACL knee injury in last weeks game Vs. the Bears. The Chiefs now (1-4) look for answers to fill the void of Charles. Rumors have it that the Chiefs are looking at outside sources. Pierre Thomas a former Saints RB was/will be brought in for workouts. Ben Tate was also a reach for the Chiefs as well. Backup running back Charcandrick West filled in for Charles on Sunday. He finished with 7 carries for 31 yards.
Week 5 Stud : Josh McNown
McNown was a fantasy stud in Week 5. McNown led the Cleveland Brows to a thrilling OT victory over the Baltimore Ravens. McNown went into Baltimore and secured his first win as a Brown in that stadium. McNown was 36-51 w/ 457 yards and 2 TD's. McNown finished with a QBR rating of 111.3. He fell short of his Week 4 QBR of 119.3. McNown has gobbled up a total of 813 yards in the last two games / 4 TD's and 0 INT's

NFL Hot Seat !!
Jim Caldwell - Lions HC
It's rather clear that the Detroit Lions are in a bit of trouble this year. Caldwell has tried everything and nothing seems to work. Last week he benched his franchise QB in Mathew Stafford. The Lions are 0-5 on the season and the next big decision may come from above Caldwell if the losses keep up. The clock is ticking and it may come to and end if the Lions lose at home this week to the Chicago Bears
