  • Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Sees four targets in Week 5

    Zaccheaus caught two of his four targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Jets.

    The Falcons were without Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle), so Zaccheaus entered the contest as the Falcons No. 1 receiver. However, that didn't warrant any more targets as Matt Ryan once again relied on his tight ends and running backs during the Week 5 win. It's hard to envision a better situation for Zaccheaus to succeed than the one he was in Sunday, so it's safe to assume his role will continue to be limited throughout the season.

  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Catches six passes

    Agnew caught six of eight targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also returned four kickoffs for 85 yards.

    Agnew played only 43 offensive snaps across the first four weeks of the season, but he operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout Sunday and played 45 offensive snaps with DJ Chark (ankle) now out for the season. The 26-year-old also tied for the team lead with eight targets, as top wide receivers Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault were apparent afterthoughts in the passing game. It's unclear whether Agnew will see similar playing time going forward, but he's unlikely to become a fantasy option regardless.

  • K.J. Osborn WR | TEN

    Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Just 14 yards receiving Sunday

    Osborn had three receptions for 14 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over Detroit.

    Osborn played about the usual snap count (40 of the offense's 67 snaps) but didn't get many targets when the offense got conservative in the second half trying to protect a lead. Dede Westbrook played a season high 14 snaps and had three receptions, which is a minor concern for Osborn's usage.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Not expected to miss time

    Hill isn't expected to miss time after he sustained a minor knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Hill didn't appear to be limited while playing most of Sunday's game, but coach Andy Reid revealed after the loss that the receiver is nursing a knee issue. However, the 27-year-old will likely be available for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against Washington.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: One catch in Week 5

    Harry was on the field for 22 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    In the process, Harry caught one of his two targets for nine yards. As long as the 2019 first-rounder continues to be out-snapped by Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne, his fantasy value will remain limited. That said Harry's role could grow in the coming weeks if any of the aforementioned trio misses time as the season progresses.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Three catches in Week 5 win

    Bourne caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans.

    Bourne logged 32 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in the contest, while Jakobi Meyers was out there for 58 snaps and Nelson Agholor saw action on 43 plays. Prior to Sunday's modest statistical effort, Bourne had caught 11 of 13 targets for 154 yards and a TD over his previous two outings. He'll look to pick up the pace in this coming Sunday's game against Dallas, but as long as Meyers, Agholor and TEs Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith command their share of targets, Bourne's PPR production could be hit or miss.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Catches three passes in Week 5

    Agholor logged 43 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans en route to catching three of his four targets for 32 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    After hauling in five passes for 72 yards in Week 1, Agholor has recorded three catches in three of his last four outings. Jakobi Meyers, who has 31 catches to date, remains the Patriots' top WR from a fantasy perspective, while Agholor and Kendrick Bourne (three catches for 26 yards Sunday) are producing at a rate that limits their utility to deeper formats.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: One catch in Week 5

    Berrios caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Falcons.

    Berrios doesn't have much of a role with the Jets' receiving corps healthy. Barring more injuries cropping up ahead of him, Berrios is unlikely to make much of a difference moving forward.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Back-to-back clunkers

    Beasley caught just one of two targets for five yards in Buffalo's 38-20 win over Kansas City on Sunday night.

    Considering just how fantastic Beasley was all of last season and the early part of this one, managers have to be grossly disappointed seeing the Bills put up 78 points over the last two games and Beasley having a horrible 3-21-0 combined line over that span. Tight end Dawson Knox and veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders have become major producers in this offense, and that's pushed down Stefon Diggs and Beasley from their normal levels of output. Beasley will have his days -- he's too much of a trusted target for Josh Allen not to -- as exhibited by his 11-98-0 line just before the two recent clunkers, but trying to figure out when exactly those games are going to hit will be a tough task, as the veteran slot man's output has been all over the board through five games.

  • Keelan Cole WR | LV

    Jets' Keelan Cole: Two catches in London

    Cole caught two of three targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Falcons.

    Cole actually came just seven receiving yards short of Corey Davis' team-leading total, as the Jets struggled to move the ball through the air. He was on the field for 31 of New York's 56 offensive snaps, trailing Davis and slot receiver Jamison Crowder but notably finishing ahead of rookie Elijah Moore (23). New York's Week 6 bye will present further opportunities to integrate Moore into the offense, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Moore's playing time climb at Cole's expense once the team returns to action.
