Cedrick Wilson Jr. WR | DET
Cowboys' Cedrick Wilson: Tosses TD pass on trick play
Wilson caught all four of his targets for 22 yards and threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Dak Prescott (ankle) in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore continue to find creative ways to get his No. 4 wide receiver involved. In this game, Wilson took a pitch from Prescott on an apparent reverse, only to throw the ball back to a wide-open QB for a score. With Prescott now lost for the season, however, and Andy Dalton taking over under center, Wilson's role could change or even disappear if the offense puts more emphasis on the running game.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Rams' Josh Reynolds: Still looking for first score
Reynolds caught two of four targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 30-10 win over Washington.
Despite being the clear No. 3 receiver for the Rams, Reynolds isn't making much of a fantasy impact. He played 49 of 68 offensive snaps Sunday, but there are just too many weapons in the Los Angeles offense for him to pad his stat line. As it stands, it'll likely take an injury to Cooper Kupp or Robert Woods for Reynolds to be a reliable factor in the passing attack. Tight end Gerald Everett is also beginning to be more involved in the offense, which is another knock on Reynolds' outlook for the immediate future.

Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Jets' Braxton Berrios: Another quiet performance
Berrios failed to haul in either of his two targets and had a 13-yard run in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Berrios continues to see a minimal role on offense with Jamison Crowder healthy and manning the slot. The 25-year-old receiver was also involved on special teams, tallying a 13-yard kick return and a nine-yard punt return.

Nelson Agholor WR | BAL
Raiders' Nelson Agholor: Catches 59-yard TD in win
Agholor caught two passes on as many targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Chiefs.
Agholor got behind the Chiefs' secondary and caught a heave from quarterback Derek Carr in stride for a 59-yard touchdown connection early in the second quarter. The 27-year-old receiver has now tallied three scores through his first five games as a Raider, quickly matching his 2019 season total in 11 contests with the Eagles. Agholor is on track to earn another start on the outside following a Week 6 bye if Bryan Edwards (ankle/foot) is unable to return against the Buccaneers.
-
Randall Cobb WR | NYJ
Texans' Randall Cobb: Six targets in win
Cobb caught all six of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over Jacksonville.
After a quiet Texans debut, Cobb has averaged a little over five targets the last four weeks. While Houston's offense has been out of sorts to start the season, Cobb has managed steady production out of the slot. He's played third fiddle to Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks, who had a big day Sunday, but is averaging a respectable 52 yards per game.

Donovan Peoples-Jones WR | NO
Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Limited offensive role
Peoples-Jones returned five kickoffs for 99 yards and one punt for five yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over Indianapolis.
Peoples-Jones remained the Browns primary returner for all kicks but had his offensive snaps drop from 33 last week to one against the Colts. Rashard Higgins entered the lineup for the first time since Week 2 and will take over the third wideout job while KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) works his way back from injured reserve.
-
Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Quiet night in primetime
Lockett had four receptions (five targets) for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Vikings.
Lockett was only able to do work on underneath routes against the Vikings since they kept two deep safeties for nearly the entire contest. The one deep shot Russell Wilson took toward Lockett wasn't synced up and resulted in the lone incompletion between the two. DK Metcalf's emergence as a star wideout has hurt Lockett over the past couple of weeks, but the speedy veteran remains involved and should have better weeks like we saw earlier in the season. Fantasy managers who roster Lockett will have to look for a replacement in Week 6 with Seattle entering its bye week.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Falls back to earth
Jefferson had three receptions (five targets) for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-26 loss to Seattle.
Jefferson turned in a dud on Sunday Night Football after posting monster numbers over the past two weeks. The rookie first-round pick flashed his skills over the recent hot streak, but he still has room to grow before reaching the elite fantasy levels of his teammate Adam Thielen or the player he is replacing in Stefon Diggs. That said, Jefferson is the clear No. 2 wideout behind Thielen and has the potential to put up big numbers in the right matchups. Next week's tilt against a porous Falcons defense looks to be one of those opportunities, especially if Dalvin Cook (groin) is unable to suit up and the Vikings air it out more often.
-
John Hightower WR | LAC
Eagles' John Hightower: Targeted six times in loss
Hightower caught two of his six targets for 18 yards and a two-point conversion in Sunday's 38-29 loss to the Steelers.
Hightower saw a season-high six targets but was able to reel in only two on the day. The rookie ended up tied with Zach Ertz as the second-most targeted Eagles pass catcher behind Travis Fulgham. However, with Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) nearing returns, the Boise State product's opportunities could take a hit going forward.
-
Olamide Zaccheaus WR | ATL
Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Just one catch against Carolina
Zaccheaus hauled in one of his four targets for 13 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Panthers.
The second-year wideout from Virginia was considered an interesting waiver wire addition after he racked up 12 receptions and 127 yards between Weeks 3 and 4. Despite Zaccheaus' offensive opportunities being enhanced with Julio Jones (hamstring) inactive against the Panthers, he only managed to corral a quarter of his targets on the afternoon. Zaccheaus will again be a top-three option at wide receiver for the Falcons if Jones is ruled out Week 6 against the Vikings, but it may be tricky to trust him in a starting fantasy lineup, even in a matchup against Minnesota's bottom-five pass defense.
