Painter, Cassel or Tebow, who do you add?

Forgive me for acting like Chip Diller from “Animal House,” but I need you all to remain calm. Just because a player blows up on Sunday that does not mean that you should rush out to add him to your fantasy roster. With that in mind, here is a look at some of the top performers from Week 5 and what you should do about these guys.
