Iosivas caught one of his two targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Iosivas was limited to just one reception for a second straight game, as the wideout continues to be less involved in the Bengals offense with teammate Tee Higgins healthy. The 24-year-old still played 53 of the Bengals' 67 offensive snaps Week 5, behind Ja'Marr Chase (59) but ahead of Higgins (48). With Chase and Higgins dominating the target share, however, Iosivas is difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production.

Tipton reeled in one of four targets for two yards during Monday's 26-13 loss against the Chiefs.

Tipton logged a season-high in targets while serving as the Saints' WR3. The 5-foot-11 undrafted rookie didn't connect with Derek Carr (oblique) on two deep targets in the second and fourth quarter, but he once again played more offensive snaps (19) than veteran wideout Cedrick Wilson (12). However, Carr is expected to miss multiple games with a left oblique injury sustained during Monday's loss, and his absence would cast a shadow on the Saints' passing game moving forward. In the meantime, either Jake Haener or rookie Spencer Rattler should step in under center for this coming Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Perry (hamstring) was signed to the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Perry was waived by the Saints on Friday and quickly found his next opportunity in Denver. The wide receiver was dealing with a hamstring injury recently, but it appears as though it isn't significant enough to dissuade the Broncos from bringing him in. Perry has yet to appear in a game this season, but he caught 12 of 18 targets for 246 yards and four touchdowns over 10 games with New Orleans in 2023.

Jeudy caught one pass on three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Commanders.

Jeudy saw seven targets in three of the first four games of the regular season, but he saw a season-low three targets during Sunday's blowout. Jeudy saw just one pass from Deshaun Watson in the second half as Cleveland's offense struggled to move the ball down the field, with its only touchdown coming during garbage time late in the fourth quarter. Jeudy and the Browns' offense will look to bounce back in Week 6 against a well-rested Eagles defense that will be coming out of its bye.

Conley (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Conley started the week as a DNP on Monday, but he managed to practice in a limited capacity Tuesday. Wednesday's injury report should provide some clarity on his status for Thursday's NFC West showdown against the Seahawks. Conley has registered one catch (on three targets) for four yards through four regular-season outings.

Rice is expected to require four months to make a full recovery from the season-ending surgery he underwent Tuesday to repair the LCL in his right knee, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Rice also had his hamstring tendon repaired as part of the surgery, but his MCL, ACL and meniscus were not part of the procedure. The lack of additional structural damage should allow him to make a full recovery in advance of Kansas City's offseason program. While Rice appears set to enter the 2025 season 100 percent healthy, he could still be at risk of a suspension due to the criminal charges he's facing for his involvement in a hit-and-run car crash in Dallas that occurred last March. With a 24-288-2 receiving line on 29 targets through three games, Rice had emerged as the team's clear top option in the passing game in his sophomore campaign.

Rice is expected to miss the remainder of the season after he underwent successful surgery Tuesday to address an LCL injury in his right knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

NFL reporter Jordan Schultz adds that Rice also had his hamstring tendon repaired as part of the surgery, but the wide receiver didn't have any damage to ACL, MCL or meniscus. While Rice will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign, the lack of additional structural damage bodes well for the 24-year-old wideout's chances of being ready to go for the start of the 2025 season. Even if he's back to full health however, Rice could still have to serve a suspension due to the criminal charges he's facing for his involvement in a hit-and-run car crash in Dallas that occurred last March.

Brown caught both of his targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in a 34-13 win over the Browns on Sunday.

With Noah Brown (groin) inactive, Brown played 55 percent of snaps on offense, up from 22 percent in Week 3 and 25 percent in Week 4. He beat his defender for a 41-yard TD down the sideline shortly before halftime, but the one big play isn't likely to be enough to break free of a timeshare with Olamide Zaccheaus in the event Brown misses another game Week 6 at Baltimore.

Zaccheaus caught one of three targets for 10 yards in a 34-13 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Zaccheaus actually got more playing time than he had the week before when he was targeted on six of his nine routes and caught all six passes for 85 yards. With fellow wideout Noah Brown (groin) inactive, Zaccheaus' snap share jumped from 25 percent in Week 4 to 51 percent in Week 5. With or without Brown in the lineup, none of Washington's wideouts besides Terry McLaurin will be a good bet to draw more than three or four targets Week 6 at Baltimore.

McCaffrey caught each of his three targets for 19 yards in a 34-13 win over the Browns on Sunday.

The rookie played a season-high 66 percent of snaps on offense, taking on a bit of extra playing time with Noah Brown inactive due to a groin injury. It was only a minor change, however, as Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus took most of the snaps that normally would go to Brown. It'll still be hard to trust any Washington wideout for more than two or three targets when the Commanders head to Baltimore in Week 6.
