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.

Cooks caught three of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to New England.

Cooks experienced season lows in targets, catches and yards Sunday as the Texans deployed a more balanced passing attack, though he remains the clear top dog after five weeks. Cooks' 44 targets leads the team, 28 more than the second most-targeted player, running back David Johnson.

Toney (leg) will be evaluated for a fine, but he isn't likely to be suspended for throwing a punch at Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Toney was ejected at the end of his breakout performance in Sunday's loss to Dallas, exiting in the fourth quarter after catching 10 passes for 189 yards. He was actually carted off to the locker room to have an X-ray on his ankle/foot area after the ejection, but there hasn't been any indication of a significant injury. Meanwhile, Kenny Golladay has been diagnosed with a hyperextended knee, and fellow wideouts Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard have missed back-to-back games with hamstring injuries. On top of all that, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss, and Saquon Barkley injured his ankle.

The Steelers fear Smith-Schuster (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Smith-Schuster was clearly in pain after his exit from Sunday's 27-19 win over the Broncos, and it sounds like he's now in danger of needing season-ending surgery on his injured shoulder. While he's averaging only 25.8 yards per game this year, Smith-Schuster did see either seven or eight targets in three of his first four games this season, and his upcoming absence could lead to more slot work for both Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool. The 24-year-old Smith-Schuster is on a one-year contract, scheduled for unrestricted free agency in the offseason.

Marshall caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Eagles.

Marshall sports just 16 receiving yards over Carolina's last two games, with quarterback Sam Darnold's struggles Sunday not helping out any of his receiving options. The rookie will hope the potential return of superstar Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) in Week 6 will help elevate the whole offense versus the Vikings.
