Collins brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Texans' 21-19 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Collins finished a distant third in receiving yards on the afternoon for the Texans while frequently dealing with the sticky coverage of a talented Falcons secondary. The third-year pro's reception and yardage totals were both his second-lowest figures of the season, and the underwhelming performance came on the heels of his season-best 168-yard, two-touchdown tally in Week 4 against the Steelers. Collins will look to atone for the relatively quiet day in a Week 6 home matchup against the Saints.

Waddle secured five of 10 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-16 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Waddle drew a team-high number of targets and recorded his first touchdown of the season on a two-yard grab just past the midway point of the first quarter. The third-year pro's modest 7.0 yards per reception was a season-low figure by a wide margin, but the amount of attention he's drawing from Tua Tagovailoa -- 26 targets through four games played -- is certainly encouraging. Waddle should have a good opportunity for a bump in his production during a Week 6 home matchup against the Panthers.

Mingo caught five of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Lions.

Mingo trailed only top wideout Adam Thielen in receptions, targets and yards through the air. Although Thielen and No. 2 receiver DJ Chark both scored touchdowns Sunday, it was still Mingo's most productive performance as a pro. With a Week 6 matchup that could very well see the Panthers fall behind the Dolphins, Mingo may be in store for more passing situations next weekend.

Chark caught three of six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Lions.

Chark brought in an 18-yard touchdown to salvage some production to begin the fourth quarter. However, his final output still paled in comparison to that of top wideout Adam Thielen, who finished with 11 catches for 107 yards and a score. While Thielen has profiled as the security blanket in Carolina's passing game, Chark's stock thus far has been rooted in his two touchdowns, as he has only 10 catches over four games.

Reynolds caught four of five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-24 win over the Panthers.

Reynolds led the Lions in receiving yards on a day when top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) was sidelined. The veteran had a long catch of 27 yards and helped Detroit build its lead with a one-yard touchdown during the second quarter. Although he wasn't targeted in Week 3, Reynolds has otherwise topped 65 yards in every game this season, scoring three touchdowns in the Lions' last four contests to boot.

Hill secured eight of nine targets for 181 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-16 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Hill exploded for his second-highest receiving yardage total of the season with the help of an electric 69-yard touchdown on which the fleet-footed receiver caught a perfect pass from Tua Tagovailoa in stride down the right sideline. Hill set the pace for Miami in both receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon, and he's already sporting an elite 36-651-5 line going into a favorable Week 6 home matchup against the Panthers.

Thielen caught 11 of 13 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Lions.

Thielen once again led the Panthers in all major receiving categories. With his one-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, Thielen has now scored in three of his last four games. The veteran has also hauled in at least seven passes in each of those contests, topping 100 yards twice during that span. Although Carolina's offensive has struggled under rookie quarterback Bryce Young, Thielen has benefitted from being the top target, including in garbage-time situations like the second half Sunday.

Irwin took reps with the first-team offense during pregame warmups and is expected to serve as the Bengals' No. 3 wideout with Tee Higgins (rib) inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins' absence should open up plenty of extra snaps for Irwin, but he's still unlikely to rank as anything more than a tertiary target in the passing game behind the likes of wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd, tight end Irv Smith and running back Joe Mixon. Through the first four games of the season, Irwin has drawn just one target across 43 snaps on offense.

Robinson (concussion) returned to Sunday's contest at Miami, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The entire Giants beat, including Salomone, reported that Robinson was ruled out due to a concussion in the fourth quarter, but the second-year wide receiver was cleared of a head injury not long afterward. Robinson will look to build upon his five catches (on six targets) for 18 yards and one carry for one yard in the waning moments of the game.

Robinson exited Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a concussion, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Prior to being forced out of the contest, Robinson caught five of his six targets for 18 yards and carried once for one yard. In his absence, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, Parris Campbell, Isaiah Hodgins and Sterling Shepard are the Giants' available Week 5 WR options.
