Smith-Marsette caught one pass for 15 yards in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Facing his former team, Smith-Marsette caught a pass in the last two minutes of the game as Chicago tried to tie the game, but on the play, he fumbled the ball away, which sealed the win for the Vikings. With just three targets this season, he'd need a significantly larger role in the offense to have weekly fantasy value.

St. Brown caught two passes for 24 yards in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

St. Brown matched his season high with two catches, and the 24 yards represented his second-best yardage total of the year. With Justin Fields averaging fewer than 20 passes per game, there won't likely be many upside games for St. Brown.

Samuel caught two of nine targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers. He added 12 rushing yards on two carries.

It was a tough day for Samuel for the most part, but he salvaged it from a fantasy perspective with a four-yard TD grab in the third quarter. The fourth-year wideout has scored three times (two receiving, one rushing) through five games, and he could be poised for much better overall numbers in Week 6 against the Falcons.

Aiyuk caught three of four targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.

Despite the low target volume, Aiyuk led the 49ers in receiving yards on the day, although George Kittle led the team with five receptions and Deebo Samuel boosted his production with a TD. Aiyuk has yet to catch more than five passes or top 63 yards in a game this season, but he's capable of a breakout in Week 6 against the Falcons' erratic secondary.

Moore caught seven passes for 68 yards on eight targets against Philadelphia on Sunday. He added two carries for minus-seven yards.

The second-year wideout claimed substantial usage in the Arizona offense after hamstring and knee issues tanked his first four weeks of the 2022 season. Moore and the Cardinals should be able to move the ball in Week 6 when Arizona faces a Seattle defense that seems unable to stop anyone.

Brown caught eight passes for 78 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

Brown could have had another touchdown if not for a dropped pass, but his box score was still very clean overall. He's generally been productive for the Cardinals and his fantasy investors, and in Week 6 he gets a Seattle defense that seemingly can't cover anyone, especially a blur like Brown.

McLaurin recorded five catches on six targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Titans.

McLaurin was only the third-most targeted Washington receiver, but he made the most of his opportunity to lead the team in receiving yards. He delivered several big plays, highlighted by receptions of 34 and 25 yards. McLaurin hasn't found the end zone since Week 1, but he has recorded at least 75 receiving yards in three of five games on the campaign.

Smith caught 10 passes for 87 yards on 11 targets against Arizona on Sunday.

A player as explosive as Smith isn't used to grinding out small amounts of yardage underneath, but he was highly effective doing so in this game and played a crucial role in helping the Eagles hold on to a 20-17 win on the road. While it's rare that the Eagles passing game can support all of Smith, A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert for big receiving production in a single game, Smith has proven repeatedly that he can put up big numbers when the usage is there. Smith and the Eagles face Dallas in Week 6.

Brown caught three passes on seven targets for 32 yards against Arizona on Sunday.

The Eagles offense fell short of expectations in this game against an Arizona defense that has struggled most of 2022, and Brown saw his production pinched as DeVonta Smith (10 catches for 87 yards on 11 targets) and Dallas Goedert (eight catches for 95 yards on nine targets) got the best cuts of the Philadelphia passing game Sunday. Brown's immense talent can't be contained for long, so he's a good candidate to bounce back as soon as Week 6, though it would be helpful for the Philadelphia offensive line to get more healthy so Brown can get loose on some deeper targets.

Jones corralled seven of 11 targets for 104 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans.

Jones led all Jacksonville wideouts in all receiving categories despite the return of Zay Jones (knee). The veteran wideout looked like the prime version of himself, something fantasy and DFS managers were hoping for last week (zero catches on one target) when Zay was sidelined. The 32-year-old continues to start and now has a big game under his belt, but he hadn't topped 38 yards in any of his previous four contests despite logging heavy snaps in each game. The Jaguars' offense is too unpredictable to recommend Jones in a matchup against the Colts next Sunday.
