NFL Nation reporters answer the biggest fantasy questions -- provided by ESPN fantasy football analyst?Mike Clay?--?across the league for Week 5.AFC East | AFC North| AFC South | AFC West NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC WestAFC EASTBuffalo BillsRobert Woods handled 33 percent of the teams targets in Week 3 and 26 percent in Week 4. Should we expect this massive usage to continue?It has a strong chance of continuing for the foreseeable future. Woods has little competition at wide receiver, especially with Greg Salas still sidelined in practice this week by a groin injury. Woods and Charles Clay are targets 1A and 1B for the Bills right now, with Marquise Goodwin, Walter Powell and Nick OLeary playing only peripheral roles in the passing game. -- Mike RodakMiami DolphinsThe Dolphins have used a four-man committee to replace Arian Foster. Is there any sign that one (or even two) of these backs will emerge this week?Maybe. The Titans rush defense ranks on the lower end of yards allowed a game (110), which could open the door for a player such as Jay Ajayi?to emerge. Ajayi is the Dolphins leading rusher (75 yards) and averages 4.2 yards a carry. Kenyan Drake could also benefit and be part of the rotation. Arian Foster returned to practice this week, but coach Adam Gase said he isnt going to rush the veteran back. -- ESPN.com staffNew England PatriotsReports suggest Rob Gronkowski is still not at full health. Can we expect him to return his 2015 form as a receiver this week, or at all this season?Im going all-in on this one: Dont give up on Gronkowski. I watched all 39 of his snaps in Sundays loss to the Bills and he released into pass routes only 13 times. Theyre easing him back into the mix and also consider the difference with Tom Brady throwing him the ball compared to rookie Jacoby Brissett. Things are about to get much better for Gronkowski. -- Mike ReissAlex Brown Jersey . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. Morris Claiborne Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. http://www.customchiefsjersey.com/custom-mack-lee-hill-jersey-large-916n.html . Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. Carlos Carson Jersey . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. Mike Webster Jersey . Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed.Carson Wentz is keeping a cool NFL streak going.When he starts Sunday for the Eagles against the Browns, it will mark the ninth consecutive season that at least one rookie quarterback starts in Week 1, the longest string in the Super Bowl era. The last year it did not happen was 2007.The previous longest streak in the Super Bowl era was four, from 1968-71.Wentz went second overall in the draft to Philadelphia. The top selection, Jared Goff of the Rams, right now is a third-stringer behind Case Keenum and Sean Mannion.The rookies starting in Week 1 since 2008 have been Matt Ryan of Atlanta and Joe Flacco of Baltimore in `08; Mark Sanchez of the Jets and Matthew Stafford of Detroit in 2009; Sam Bradford of the Rams in 2010; Andy Dalton of Cincinnati and Cam Newton of Carolina in 2011; Robert Griffin III of Washington, Andrew Luck of Indianapolis, Ryan Tannehill of Miami, Russell Wilson of Seattle, and Brandon Weeden of Cleveland in 2012; EJ Manuel of Buffalo and Geno Smith of the Jets in 2013; Derek Carr of Oakland in 2014; Jameis Winston of Tampa Bay and Marcus Mariota of Tennessee last season.---HELPING HANDS: The Minnesota Vikings, emotionally stung by the massive injury to quarterback Teddy Bridgewaters left knee last week, have naturally rallied around the popular leader.New acquisition Sam Bradford, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in 2013 and again in 2014, offered his insight about recovery from the injury, also carrying the hope that Bridgewater could be a resource for his cram session with the offense.I wanted to make it known that I was available and willing to talk to him about it, Bradford said, and then I asked him if he could please be here as much as possible to help me out. I would really appreciate that, too.Then theres coach Mike Zimmer, hired the same year Bridgewater was drafted. He has developed a strong relationship with the young quarterback. Zimmers voice cracked a couple of times last week during a news conference to discuss Bridgewaters injury. He recently revealed a new way theyve bonded as well.Bridgewater has been a regular visitor to the trainers room, always a smile on his face, Zimmer said, but unable to bend his leg to complete a simple, important task. So cornerback Xavier Rhodes and Zimmer have sprung to action.He cant reach his shoes, so Xav does it, Zimmer said Monday. I was down there today, and I tied it for him. Im the shoe-tier now.---NUMBER CHANGE IN MEMORY OF FRIEND: Tennessee rookie Derrick Henry finally has settled on a number for the regular season, and hes wearing No. 22 in memory of his late friend and former Alabama teammate Altee Tenpenny.The running backs knew each other from high school, competing in camps before they both went to Alabama. Tenpenny then transferred to UNLV, then Nicholls State. Henry mentioned Tenpenny, who was 20 when he was killed in a one-car crash in Mississippi in October, in his speech when he accepted the Heisman Trophy in December.We always talked like duringg practice, and I asked him if he went to the NFL what would he wear? Henry said of Tenpenny.dddddddddddd He said his high school number was 22. So make sure that that dream goes on for him.The Heisman Trophy winner wore the No. 2 he played with in college at Alabama throughout the offseason and preseason, prompting speculation over what number he would wind up with in the regular season -- league rules limit running backs to between the numbers 20 and 49. The release of running back Dexter McCluster freed up No. 22 in time for Tennessees season opener against Minnesota.Henrys glad the process of picking an NFL number is over.And Im so happy I got the number I always wanted, Henry said. I feel like I can do some great things (thinking of Tenpenny).---YOUNG-UNS: Three rookies made the Bengals receiver group, an uncharacteristic lack of experience for Cincinnati at whats been its deepest position.Second-round pick Tyler Boyd is expected to play a lot. Sixth-round pick Cody Core and free agent Alex Erickson earned spots with impressive preseasons.Theyve proved that they can play, and were going to need them to, quarterback Andy Dalton said. Were going to rely on them.The big transition is the result of Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu leaving as free agents. The Bengals released receiver Brandon Tate -- the franchises punt return leader -- and gave the job to Erickson, a walk-on at Wisconsin. Theyre not going easy on the newcomers.Coach says just because youre rookies doesnt mean its an excuse, Boyd said.---BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW: Their nickname was melodic. Their defense was anything but.In his new book, Jerry Barca details the making of the 1986 New York Giants, the franchises first of four Super Bowl champions. All the key characters get into the spotlight, from the man who built the team, general manager George Young, to coach Bill Parcells to the fearsome defense built around Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson, both now Hall of Famers.Wisely, Barca doesnt examine the 1986 champions in isolation. Big Blue Wrecking Crew begins with the 1978 fumble by Joe Pisarcik that in Philadelphia became known as the Miracle at the Meadowlands. That decision not to take a knee to clinch a victory, leading to a devastating loss, was the catalyst for a rebuilding that culminated in the Super Bowl victory over Denver for the Giants first NFL title in 30 years.He also pulls no punches, looking into the darker side of the franchise, including players issues with cocaine use, and Parcells mind games with players.You dont have to be a Giants fan to be entranced by Barcas engrossing book. Indeed, for some Giants fans, it might be a painful read. But a worthwhile one.---AP Pro Football Writers Barry Wilner, Teresa M.
