  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Set to operate as No. 1 wideout

    Robinson is in line to serve as the Giants' No. 1 receiver in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks with Malik Nabers (concussion) inactive for the contest, per Dan Salomone of the team's official site.

    Robinson has already seen volume befitting the title of the alpha pass catcher of the offense, logging 38 targets through the first four games of the season. The third-year pro has just an average depth of target of 4.6 yards, however, so while he projects for another extremely busy afternoon, veteran Darius Slayton and speedy second-year man Jalin Hyatt are likely to share the downfield routes Nabers' absence opens up.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Officially inactive Sunday

    Watson (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Watson will miss the first of what is expected be multiple games after he came out of the Week 4 loss to the Vikings with a high left-ankle sprain. Green Bay also will be without Romeo Doubs (suspension) in Week 5, so Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath are the team's available wide receivers Sunday. The Packers seemingly are confident Watson won't require an IR stint, so they may be targeting Week 7 against the Texans or Week 8 at Jacksonville as his possible spots to return to action.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Leaves with shoulder injury

    Legette exited Sunday's game against the Bears with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

    Coming off his big Week 4 against the Bengals, Legette was mostly a non-factor versus Chicago prior to leaving in the second half. The rookie saw just one target before exiting, catching it for a gain of eight yards. Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo will work in two-wide sets while Legette is sidelined.

  • Raiders' Tyreik McAllister: Not playing Sunday

    McAllister (shoulder) is inactive for Las Vegas' matchup versus Denver on Sunday.

    McAllister will miss his third game of the season after suffering a shoulder injury versus the Browns last week. The 26-year-old will look to get healthy and make his return during next week's matchup against the Steelers.

  • Jacob Cowing WR | SF

    49ers' Jacob Cowing: Won't play Sunday

    Cowing (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsay Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Cowing had a chance to suit up after logging a limited practice session Friday, but he'll join Chris Conley (oblique) and Ricky Pearsall (chest) in street clothes. Ronnie Bell and Trent Taylor will serve as depth options behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings versus the Cardinals.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Won't return Sunday

    Collins (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Collins thus finishes up the day with two catches for 78 yards and a touchdown. In his absence, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell are in line to lead the Texans' wideout corps for the rest of the day.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    49ers' Chris Conley: Won't suit up, as expected

    Conley (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsay Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    As expected, Conley won't suit up after not practicing all week and drawing a doubtful tag. With Ricky Pearsall (chest) still on the reserve/non-football injury list and Jacob Cowing (shoulder) inactive, Ronnie Bell and Trent Taylor will serve as depth options behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings versus Arizona.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Finds end zone in loss

    Lazard recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.

    Lazard finished second on the team with 10 targets and now has at least eight targets in three of five games on the season. He's topped 60 yards only once, though he remains a trusted option for Aaron Rodgers near the end zone as he managed his fourth touchdown catch of the campaign on a 14-yard snag just before halftime. Garrett Wilson will be the top target for Rodgers nearly every week, but Lazard has held off Mike Williams as a priority for opportunity to this point.

  • Broncos' Devaughn Vele: Healthy scratch again

    Vele (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Raiders.

    Vele hasn't suited up since Week 1 when he caught all eight targets for 39 yards and played 49 percent of the team's snaps on offense in NFL debut. His next opportunity to get back on the field will be in Week 6 against the Chargers.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Struggles against Jets

    Addison recorded three receptions on eight targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets.

    The short-term outcome wasn't positive for Addison, as he averaged an abysmal 4.5 yards per target. However, he became a more significant part of the offensive game plan by tallying a season-high eight targets. The Vikings will head into a Week 6 bye, but Addison should have a significant role in a pivotal Week 7 matchup in a divisional showdown with the Lions.
