Sunday Superstars: NFL Week 5 cardboard icons headlined by Aaron Jones along with Watson, McCaffrey, Jacobs & more

Remember me?

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones has had some flashes of brilliance at times since his rookie campaign back in 2017 but even his best games were nothing compared to what he did on Sunday against the Cowboys. Jones had 19 carries for 107 yards and four -- yes, four -- TDs in a 34-24 win in Dallas.

Only five RBs in NFL history put up a better scoring day on the ground than Jones, while four has been done many, many times in league history. This wasn't a career day for Jones for yardage -- not even his best game this season there -- but it's one that should get more collectors looking at his cards as they've been overshadowed by the RCs of two new classes since he showed up. He didn't have a boatload of autograph cards as a rookie (less than 100) and doesn't have a lot of cards in general now but you can find him.

Keep reading for more guys who generated some buzz on the field this week.

 -- Christian McCaffrey, RB, Panthers The NFL's rushing leader this season had another big day both on the ground and catching the ball in a 34-27 win over that new hot QB, Gardner Minshew II, and his squad. McCaffrey had 19 carries for a league-leading 176 yards and two TDs and added six catches for 61 yards and another TD in the game. You could pretty much put this 2017 Rookie Card class member here every week with his multi-purpose performances.

 -- Will Fuller V, WR, Texans Want a freakish stat line from Sunday? Fuller caught 14 of 16 passes and didn't even have the best day there -- Chargers RB Austin Ekeler caught 15 of 16. The difference here? Fuller racked up 217 yards and three TDs (while Ekeler had just 86 and never hit paydirt). Before Sunday, Fuller hadn't had a 100-yard game this year or scored a TD. He's had some strong games since he was the 21st-overall pick back in 2016 but might be off the radar compared to even other players on his team. There should be some bargains out there for his cards if you want to chase them down.

 -- Deshaun Watson, QB, Texans With that last guy's numbers already known, Watson's numbers should not be too shocking. He threw for 426 yards and five TDs in the win over the Falcons. Surprisingly that wasn't the best yardage showing on Sunday for a Texas QB (Dak Prescott had 463 but lost) but it's a reminder that Watson was a previous force and could put up big numbers and is already having a good year. This year's totals are meaty -- 1,364 yards and 11 TDs this year -- but he's had two games without a TD and had two with less than 160 yards. If the consistency comes, he should be one of the most-watched QBs on the field and on cardboard. His Rookie Cards in 2017 could be overlooked at times with That Mahomes Guy getting all of the attention in those releases.

 -- Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders The Raiders haven't had a lot of highlights this year -- there have been headlines, though -- but this time it's a good headline with a decent day for one of its top rookies. He scored two touchdowns, tying his season-opening high, but had 26 carries for 123 yards -- both season-highs -- in a 24-21 win over the Bears. He also added three catches for 20 yards. His Rookie Cards from this season might be a tad over-rated right now price-wise considering this was his first 100-yard game (he had 99 and 85 in past weeks, though) but somebody has to get the cardboard attention with this popular NFL team.

 -- Amari Cooper, WR, Cowboys Who had the biggest day among receivers yesterday when it came to yards? It was Cooper, who caught 11 of 14 passes that came his way for 226 yards and a TD where he definitely had all the right moves to get the points on his 53-yard TD. (See the move here.) That yardage mark appears to be a career-high for the fourth-overall pick from back in 2015. His autos have always been a tad pricier than you might expect but days like this one probably make them worth it. If bargain-hunting, go grab some Raiders ink -- but I think his hottest autos on more standard cards (not rare stuff) might be the ones showing him with his current team.

 -- DJ Chark Jr., WR, Jaguars Six receivers had two or more TDs this week with at least 97 receiving yards and Gardner Minshew II's favorite target put up one of the better days and has had a pretty strong overall season, too. This second-round pick last year has five TDs after five games and had eight catches for 164 years and two of those scores yesterday. He's had two games with at least 146 yards with a new QB after having just 14 catches for 174 all of last season.
