Westbrook-Ikhine is expected to start at wide receiver Tuesday against the Bills because Corey Davis and Adam Humphries remain on the reserve/COVID list, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

Westbrook-Ikhine is slated to be the No. 3 wideout behind A.J. Brown (knee), who is expected to play, and Kalif Raymond. Over two games this season, Westbrook-Ikhine has played 18 offensive snaps and been targeted twice, failing to haul in either one.

The Packers signed Lipscomb to the practice squad Tuesday.

The undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt couldn't make the final roster in Kansas City and was cut following training camp. The Packers will give him a chance to prove himself. The 23-year-old had an excellent junior season with an 87-916-9 line while adding 14 carries for 75 yards and a score, but his production dropped off in his senior year with a 47-511-3 line.

Johnson gathered in his only target for five yards during Sunday's 30-10 road victory against the Jets.

Johnson's sole offensive look occurred just before the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter, and he got on the field for just five of the Cardinals' 75 plays on offense. On a positive note, he's impacted the box score in both of his appearances this season, so an injury on the depth chart in front of him may result in some targets for the second-year pro.

Sherfield caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 30-10 road win versus the Jets.

Sherfield logged a season-high nine snaps on offense and 13 on special teams on his way to his first target (and reception) of the campaign. Still, he rang in fifth in offensive snap share among Cardinals wide receivers, exhibiting his standing with the unit.

Isabella reeled in two of three targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 30-10 road victory against the Jets.

Isabella's long reception went for 24 yards, which was the sixth-longest play for the Cardinals on the day. After getting blanked in the season opener, he's averaged exactly three targets per game, with three of them resulting in 20 or more yards. Aside from those grabs, though, Isabella has managed 37 yards from scrimmage on eight touches. Considering his hit-or-miss status, it's difficult to trust in him for output on a weekly basis.

Johnson carried once for seven yards and didn't draw any targets Monday in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.

Johnson turned his lone target in the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers into a 53-yard touchdown, but he didn't garner any looks from quarterback Justin Herbert across his five offensive snaps. The Chargers did, however, call his number on a run play on the team's first offensive snap of the night, with Johnson nearly turning it into a first down. Los Angeles should continue to make occasional use of Johnson's high-end speed on deep shots and gadget plays, but he probably won't see enough volume week to week to make for a reliable fantasy option.

Callaway brought in four of six targets for 34 yards in Monday night's 30-27 overtime win against the Chargers.

With both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Deonte Harris (hamstring) unavailable, Callaway had a season-best performance. Thomas should be back for Week 6 however, and Callaway's value will likely take a nosedive when that happens.

Dulin reeled in his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns.

Dulin only took seven snaps on offense, but he provided the Colts with one of their biggest plays of the day in the second quarter. The wideout should continue to be active week in and week out due to his contributions on special teams, but Dulin is unlikely to be featured often in three-receiver sets.

Hardman is expected to handle more snaps while Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is unavailable, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Hardman figures to be one of the primary beneficiaries of Watkins being sidelined for what is expected to be at least a couple of weeks due to the issue. He compiled 95 all-purpose yards -- 50 receiving and 45 on kickoff returns -- during Sunday's tilt, but was targeted a measly three times despite playing a season-high 69 percent of the offensive snaps (50 total). Look for that number to receive another bump up while Watkins is out, and Hardman could have an opportunity to carve out a larger role in the future if he can take advantage of the extended run.

Robinson figures to see more snaps while Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is sidelined, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Robinson had seen his playing time drop recently but saw renewed life Sunday following Watkins' departure, logging 49 offensive snaps (season-high 68 percent). He was unable to accomplish much with his increased playing time Sunday, finishing out the day with just two catches for two yards on four targets, and he remains behind at least Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the pecking order for targets. Second-year wideout Mecole Hardman also figures to share some of the targets voided by Watkins.
