Wilson secured all four of his targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 31-16 win over the Giants.

Wilson racked up his best yardage total in a Dolphins uniform Week 5, operating as the primary No. 3 wideout behind top dogs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Since beginning the 2023 campaign as a healthy scratch in Miami's first two games, Wilson has ramped up his involvement on offense, most recently playing a season-high 54 percent of offensive snaps Sunday. He will look to build on his momentum Week 6 against Carolina.

Berrios secured both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-16 win over the Giants.

Berrios also contributed as a kick returner, but he wasn't utilized substantially on offense Week 5, with Cedrick Wilson instead handling the bulk of No. 3 WR opportunities. The Dolphins should be in line for another successful offensive performance Week 6 against the Panthers, but Berrios shouldn't be considered more than a flex option for desperate fantasy managers with both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle healthy.

Coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Dell is officially in the league's concussion protocol, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Dell was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Falcons in the second quarter due to be evaluated for a concussion, and Ryans now confirms that the rookie wideout has been placed in the NFL's five-step protocol. As such, Dell will require full medical clearance before being able to retake the field, putting his status for Week 6 versus the Saints in jeopardy. Fantasy managers will need to monitor Dell's progress as the week continues.

Pierce had one reception for 10 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Tennessee.

Pierce started at wide receiver opposite Michael Pittman but continues to get few targets in the passing game. He's had three receptions or less in every game this season and has had more than three targets once (seven in Week 3), despite significant playing time. Pierce played on 65 of the offense's 66 snaps Sunday.

McKenzie had one carry for four yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's win over Tennessee. He returned one punt for five yards and one kickoff for 19 yards.

McKenzie was used on a gadget option play in the backfield but otherwise wasn't a factor in the offense. He played on seven of the offense's 66 snaps. His primary role remains in the return game, where he added kickoff-return duties to his punt-return job after the season-ending injury to Dallis Flowers (Achilles).

Jefferson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Eagles.

Jefferson's zero-catch day was his first since Week 9 in 2022, and his two snaps on offense were less than Ben Skowronek and just one more than Austin Trammell. The return of Cooper Kupp gives the Rams a preferred trio of Kupp, Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell as their starters, and they were on the field for nearly every snap on the day. Without a change of scenery or an injury to one of the aforementioned receivers, Jefferson will likely continue to see scant usage on offense.

Jones failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 25-20 win against the Bills.

The 2021 UDFA played 23 offensive snaps but went without a catch for the first time since Week 2. Zay Jones (knee) aggravated his knee injury while Jamal Agnew played just 11 offensive snaps, but Tim Jones still had a minimal role in the passing game with Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley leading the receiving corps.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Jefferson is still going through the evaluation process on the right hamstring strain he suffered in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Jefferson went down early in the fourth quarter versus Kansas City and was unable to return, finishing the day with three catches for 28 scoreless yards on six targets. If Jefferson needs to miss time, Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn are going to have to step up into expanded roles at receiver, while tight end T.J. Hockenson would become the favorite to pace Minnesota in targets. The Vikings return to action Week 6 with a matchup Sunday against the Bears.

Jones (knee) will undergo an MRI on his injured knee Monday, Jamal St. Cyr of WJXT 4 Jacksonville reports.

Jones missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a knee injury but was able to return for Sunday's Week 5 win over the Bills, only to leave after 38 offensive snaps with another knee issue. Prior to exiting, Jones caught three of five targets for 23 yards and one touchdown. Jamal Agnew and Tim Jones are next up on the wideout depth chart behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Miller caught both of his targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Texans.

Miller played a season-high 18 offensive snaps and garnered his first two targets of the campaign. The speedster hasn't been able to get free for a big play yet, but he remains a steady piece of the gameplan and has played double-digit offensive snaps in three straight weeks. While Miller's role is growing, it's difficult for fantasy managers to trust any Falcons pass catcher on a consistent basis.
