Metchie caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Falcons in Week 5.

Metchie has three consecutive games with two targets and averages 18 yards per game since a return from a hamstring injury that cost him the season opener. The wideout played a season-high 25 snaps due to Tank Dell (concussion) being removed in the second quarter. Should Dell be unavailable in Week 6 against the Saints, Metchie could have an increased role, although Noah Brown (groin) might be ready to come off IR next week as well.

Sutton had one reception on three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jets.

Sutton couldn't create separation against the Jets' secondary, failing to record a reception until late in the fourth quarter. It would wind up being the veteran wideout's lone reception in an overall forgettable performance. Sutton was providing consistent fantasy value with three touchdowns over the four games prior to Sunday's dud. He won't have much time to dwell on his down performance, as the Broncos play Thursday against Kansas City in Week 6.

Jeudy had six receptions on seven targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jets.

Jeudy's six receptions led all Broncos receivers while setting a new season high for the wideout. His seven targets also led the team, and only running back Samaje Perine finished with more receiving yards for Denver. Jeudy is now averaging 4.3 receptions and 52 yards through four games. The 2020 first-round pick is being held back by a lack of touchdowns, although he did see three red-zone targets in garbage time during a 70-20 loss to Miami in Week 3. Jeudy will attempt to score that elusive first touchdown of the season against Kansas City on Thursday Night Football.

Gallup had two receptions on five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the 49ers.

Gallup was coming off his two most productive games of the season before running into a brick wall in the form of the 49ers' defense, as San Francisco didn't allow a single Dallas receiver to gain over 50 yards. Gallup did finish in a three-way tie with CeeDee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson for the team lead in targets, with Brandin Cooks not far behind with four. Gallup and the entire offense will attempt to get right in a favorable matchup against the Chargers next Monday.

Hodgins finished Sunday's Week 5 loss to Miami with two catches on two targets for 19 yards.

Hodgins connected with quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) for a 15-yard reception on the second play of the game but nabbed just one more catch the rest of the way. It was another quiet performance for the wideout, who has tallied just five receptions for 43 yards over his past three contests. The Giants have gotten off to a miserable start to the season largely due to an offense that has put up the fewest points in the league through five weeks. Jones' status for Week 6 against Buffalo is in question after he suffered a neck injury Sunday, but even if he is able to play, Hodgins doesn't figure to be in many fantasy lineups considering his lack of production thus far.

Campbell caught both of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

The former Colt actually finished with the second-most yards among New York's receivers behind Darius Slayton's 35. That speaks volumes about the state of the team's passing game, as Daniel Jones (neck) has struggled mightily behind an overmatched offensive line. Campbell made one big play with a 17-yard gain, but it came in the fourth quarter with the game mostly out of reach after Jones had exited with a neck injury. Campbell has yet to record more than 24 yards in any of his five contests so far this season, giving him very little fantasy appeal. The only pass catcher on the team that has shown any fantasy viability outside of deep leagues is tight end Darren Waller.

Lamb finished with four receptions on five targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to San Francisco.

Lamb finished as Dallas' leading receiver Sunday, but it didn't result in a big game with the offense mustering just 161 passing yards against the 49ers. The 24-year-old has contributed 379 yards from scrimmage over the first five games of the season, but his value has been limited by a lack of touchdowns. Lamb has made just one trip to the end zone after scoring nine TDs over 17 games in 2022. He will look to correct that against the Chargers' league-worst pass defense on Monday Night Football in Week 6.

Samuel (knee/ribs) caught all three of his targets for 55 yards while adding 30 rushing yards on five attempts in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Cowboys.

Samuel was able overcome a pair of lingering injuries and suit up for Sunday's matchup between NFC powerhouses. Unlike during last week's dud against the Cardinals, Samuel was given his full allotment of touches as a runner and receiver against the Cowboys, converting eight touches into 85 combined yards. The 27-year-old did not appear limited by his lingering knee or rib injuries, showing his usual burst without shying away from contact in the lopsided victory. Now healthy, Samuel can be deployed as usual in a road matchup against the Browns next Sunday.

Aiyuk caught four of seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 42-10 win over Dallas.

Aiyuk finished with a modest fantasy line as quarterback Brock Purdy spread the ball around to all of his star playmakers in the blowout victory. Aiyuk's 58 receiving yards wound up being the game high for wideouts from either team Sunday and ranked only behind tight end George Kittle, who had 67 yards to go along with his three touchdown grabs. The fourth-year receiver is now averaging 97.5 yards over four active games this season after gaining 59.7 per game during his breakout campaign last year. Aiyuk and the undefeated 49ers will head out on the road in Week 6 to face the Browns next Sunday.

Downs recorded six receptions on six targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Titans.

Downs led the Colts in receptions and yards, both of which were also career-high marks. He did the majority of his damage on catches of 38, 27 and 25 yards -- two of which were delivered by Gardner Minshew. Downs also showed the ability to produce with Anthony Richardson (shoulder) under center, which could portend a bigger role in the offense moving forward.
