Moore played 15 of the Chargers' 69 offensive snaps and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Browns.

Since being signed to the 53-man roster Sept. 28, Moore has suited up for both of the Bolts' subsequent two games, but he has yet to record any statistics. Moore hasn't been targeted across his 18 total snaps on offense and will likely see his chances to contribute as a receiver take a further hit whenever Keenan Allen (hamstring) is cleared to play again.

The Giants signed Foster (hamstring) to their practice squad Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Foster was set to miss the entire 2022 season after being placed on the injured reserve list in August, but he eventually agreed to an injury settlement with the Giants and has now made his way back onto the practice squad. If Kadarius Toney (hamstring), Kenny Golladay (knee) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) continue to miss time, it would not be surprising to see Foster elevated soon.

Hodgins recorded four receptions for 41 yards on six targets while playing 12 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers.

Suiting up in just his second NFL game after being signed off the practice squad Saturday, Hodgins proved to be a popular target for both Josh Allen and Case Keenum during his limited time on the field. Though he was efficient with his opportunities, Hodgins didn't have a role on special teams in the resounding win, which could be detrimental to his chances of dressing most weeks when the Bills have more healthy receivers available. Isaiah McKenzie (concussion) and Jake Kumerow (ankle) were both sidelined Week 5, and if the two are available for the Bills' Week 6 matchup with the Chiefs, Hodgins may find himself as the sixth man on the depth chart.

Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman (foot) "might be able to come back" Week 6 versus the Giants, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Bateman's ankle injury kept him from suiting up for Sunday night's win over the Bengals, but it looks like there's a chance his absence is limited to one game. The second-year pro's participation level on Wednesday's first practice report of the week will reveal more information about his health. It will be a positive sign if Bateman is able to practice on at least a limited basis to start the week.

Jones took the field for just one of the Jaguars' 73 offensive snaps in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans.

Jones a second-year player out of Southern Miss, played a season-high 26 snaps on offense in last week's loss to the Eagles, but he saw his field time drop off considerably Week 5 with Zay Jones (ankle) returning from a one-game absence. Though his role on the Jaguars' coverage units was able to help him avoid the inactive list, Tim Jones will continue to see few opportunities on offense while all of Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, Marvin Jones and Jamal Agnew are available to Jacksonville.

In his regular season debut, Thornton was on the field for 25 of possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions en route to catching two of his three targets for seven yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The 2022 second-rounder missed New England's first four games due to a collarbone injury, but now that he's back in the mix, Thornton brings added speed to New England's pass-catching corps. However, with Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor (hamstring) and Kendrick Bourne also in the team's WR mix, Thornton currently doesn't have a steady path to targets.

Bourne, who was on the field for a season-high 34 (of a possible 60) snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target in the game for one yard.

Bourne also rushed once for minus-1 yard Sunday, in a contest in which Jakobi Meyers (7-111-1 on eight targets) was clearly QB Bailey Zappe's preferred WR option. With a 10-139-0 line on 13 targets through five games, Bourne will remain off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats until he starts seeing consistent volume.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Higgins (ankle) is day-to-day, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Higgins aggravated an existing ankle sprain during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens, in which he played just 10 snaps. It's encouraging that the standout receiver was able to avoid a severe injury, but it remains to be seen whether Higgins will be able to suit up versus the Saints in Week 6. His status on Wednesday's first official practice report of the week will be illuminating.

Parker, who was on the field for 31 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, did not record a catch in the contest.

According to Nick O'Malley of masslive.com, both times Parker was the intended target Sunday, Detroit was flagged for pass interference. Five games into the current campaign, Parker has been targeted more than twice just one time, back in Week 3, when he recorded a 5-156-0 line on 10 targets. Until the 29-year-old begins to log steady volume, he'll continue to be a hit-or-miss fantasy option regardless of whether Week 5 starter Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones (ankle) is under center for the Patriots.

Higgins, who was on the field for 10 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens, aggravated the ankle injury that had limited him in practice leading up to the contest when he was rolled up on during the first half, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Per Morrison, the wideout wasn't able to return to the game after coming off the field during the Bengals' fourth offensive series. Afterward, Higgins downplayed the issue, suggesting that he erred on the side of caution Sunday in order to avoid any further setbacks. With that in mind, Higgins sounds like he hopes to play Week 6 against the Saints, but he'll likely have his practice reps limited in the coming days.
