Watson secured three of seven targets for 91 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Packers' 17-13 loss to the Raiders on Monday night.

Watson came up with the biggest play of the night by far for the Packers on a 77-yard grab on the first play of a mid-third-quarter drive that culminated in a field goal. The speedster was also the intended receiver on Jordan Love's third and final interception of the night, a play where Watson appeared to have broken free for a would-be touchdown had the ball been thrown a couple of seconds earlier. Watson's boost in production after a 2-25-1 line in his Week 4 season debut against the Lions was certainly a welcome sight, and he'll now have a chance for some downtime during a Week 6 bye before a Week 7 road matchup against the Broncos.

Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos. He had one kickoff return for 20 yards, two punt returns for 14 yards and committed two fumbles, losing one.

After getting involved with one catch and two rushing attempts in Week 4, Gipson didn't register a touch on offense in Week 5. He also muffed a punt in the third quarter to set the Broncos up in Jets territory, but New York overcame the rookie's miscue and notched its second win of the season.

Cobb didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos.

Cobb has just three catches for 20 yards on nine targets through five games with the Jets. The veteran slot receiver played 35 percent of offensive snaps Sunday, which marked a season low, and Cobb's usage could continue to trend down unless his production improves.

Lazard caught three of four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos.

Lazard finished third behind Tyler Conklin and Garrett Wilson in both targets and receiving yards. The former Green Bay wide receiver has exceeded 30 yards in four of five games with the Jets, but Lazard's highest total with his new team is 61 yards, and he has yet to catch more than three passes in a game in 2023. He'll continue to occupy a starting role across from Wilson in Week 6 against the Eagles.

Shaheed gathered in both of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 34-0 victory versus New England.

Shaheed matched his season low for targets during this wire-to-wire blowout for New Orleans. The second-year wideout still finished with the third-most receiving yards for the Saints behind wideout Michael Thomas (65) and running back Kendre Miller (53). Shaheed's biggest impact ultimately came as a returner on special teams, logging 22 yards on three punts to go along with three fair catches. The 6-foot speedster's playing time once again has slotted behind top wideouts Chris Olave and Thomas this season, as these two combined for 11 targets Week 5. Shaheed's fantasy value should continue to be tied to generating explosive plays, making him a volatile player week-to-week.

Jones caught both targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 42-24 win over Carolina.

Jones had seen his playing time decrease with every passing week until Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) was forced to miss his first game of the season. Not only did Jones see a bump in playing time in St. Brown's absence, but he ultimately led all Lions wideouts in snaps as well. However, the 33-year-old yet again did little with his opportunities, and Jones now has a grand total of four catches (on nine targets) for 30 yards this season. There's little reason to trust Jones for fantasy purposes entering a Week 6 matchup with Tampa Bay.

Raymond caught all three targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 42-24 win over Carolina.

Drawing the start at wide receiver with Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) sidelined, Raymond finished second among Lions wide receivers in snaps, targets and receiving yards, despite the availability of Jameson Williams. Raymond also continued to serve as the team's punt returner, but he didn't have a clean opportunity to gain any yardage there. Raymond could handle increased offensive responsibilities should St. Brown continue to miss time, but the former may be hard to trust otherwise with so many mouths to feed in the Lions' passing game.

Tucker (knee) is considered questionable to return to Monday's contest with the Packers.

Tucker suffered a knee injury in the first half of the Raiders' Week 5 matchup with Green Bay and his status for the rest of the game is uncertain. The wide receiver produced a 16-yard run prior to exiting the contest.

Philips (shoulder) did not record a catch (on one target) in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Colts.

Philips was activated from injured reserve this week to make his season debut. As could be expected, he was limited in his role, playing only 14 offensive snaps and one on special teams. Philips showed some rapport with Ryan Tannehill early in his rookie campaign in 2022, so it will be worth watching his role as he gets back into game shape.

Moore was not targeted in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Colts.

Moore failed to command a target for the first time this season, though his snap rate remained at a solid 60 percent. He's specialized as a deep-play threat through four games, as two of his four catches on the campaign have gone over 40 yards. While that allows Moore to maximize limited targets, he'll also remain an extremely inconsistent producer.
