Cephus suffered a broken collarbone in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Cephus will miss extended time due to his injury, and he could be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Tyrell Williams (concussion) should take on a larger role once he returns from injured reserve, while Kalif Raymond, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Trinity Benson also will have the opportunity to carve out additional snaps while Cephus is out.

Bateman (groin) won't play in Monday's game against the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The Ravens were hopeful that Bateman would be able to make his NFL debut Week 5. The team discussed putting the first-round pick on a pitch count Monday, but he'll instead be held out to give his groin additional time to fully heal. However, the 21-year-old is hopeful that he'll be on the field for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Chargers.

Wilson caught his only target for 35 yards, gained four yards on his only carry and completed his only pass attempt for 22 yards in Sunday's win over the Giants.

The Dallas depth receiver was offensive coordinator Kellen Moore's Swiss army knife Week 5, but Wilson overall didn't see much of the ball and had his two-game TD streak snapped. It's not yet clear when Michael Gallup (calf) will return to action, but even when he does, Wilson's versatility likely will keep him involved in the offense.

Smith-Schuster is in line to undergo shoulder surgery and will miss the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Smith-Schuster was taken to the hospital after he exited Sunday's win over the Broncos with the right shoulder injury. The 2018 second-round pick hauled in 15 of 28 targets for 129 yards while rushing three times for nine yards and a touchdown across his five appearances in 2021, and he's slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason. His absence should lead to more playing time for James Washington (groin) and Ray-Ray McCloud, while Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool should see additional slot work.

Lazard was targeted twice and caught two passes for six yards in Sunday's 25-22 victory over the Bengals.

Lazard was on the field for 55 of the 64 plays the Packers offense ran, but he didn't receive much attention from Aaron Rodgers. Playing time is not an issue for Lazard, who has played at least 64 percent of the snaps in all five games this season, but production definitely is, as he has racked up just seven receptions for 97 yards -- and no scores -- to date.

Mongtomery logged one tackle on special teams during Sunday's 33-22 win over Washington.

Montgomery led the Saints in special-teams snaps while handling nearly half of the reps on offense. However, he did not touch the ball and was not able to build on the heightened involvement in the passing game (three receptions for 42 yards) he saw in Week 4 against the Giants. Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) are both eligible to return after the Saints' Week 6 bye, so Montgomery should continue to struggle for relevancy in fantasy leagues even if Deonte Harris (hamstring) needs to miss time.

Snead caught one pass on as many targets for three yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.

Snead has logged a single-digit offensive snap count in all five games this season, remaining behind Zay Jones on the depth chart at wide receiver.

Jones caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.

Jones hauled in a pass for a third straight week, but fellow receivers Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards and Hunter Renfrow all logged 50-plus offensive snaps apiece, while Jones saw his snap share dip below 20 percent again. Expect a similar lack of involvement for Jones in Week 6 against the Broncos.

Edwards caught two of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.

Edwards has caught just three passes for 26 yards on nine targets over the Raiders' past two games despite playing at least 50 offensive snaps in each contest. He's yet to find the end zone or draw more than five targets in a given week this season, but Edwards' ample playing time should continue in a Week 6 matchup against the Broncos.

McCloud hauled in one of two targets for one yard in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Broncos.

McCloud was on the field for 52 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps with James Washington (groin) unavailable in Week 5, but he remained uninvolved in the passing game. The 2018 sixth-rounder will likely see an uptick in playing time if JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) is sidelined for the remainder of the season, but he's been an unreliable fantasy option across the first five weeks of the year.
