Gallup caught seven of 14 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Packers.

Making his return from knee surgery after missing the last two weeks, Gallup found the end zone for the first time this season while topping 100 yards for the second time in three games. The second-year wideout is the clear No. 2 for the Cowboys behind Amari Cooper, but there's been more than enough volume coming from Dak Prescott to make both receivers productive when they're in the lineup together.

Pringle had six catches (nine targets) for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Colts.

Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was knocked out of the contest early in the first quarter, opening the door for Pringle to see significant snaps for the first time this year (12 total offensive snaps through the Chiefs' first four games). The 25-year-old surprisingly outpaced both Demarcus Robinson and Mecole Hardman in targets and production. The severity of Watkins' injury is unknown, but even if both he and Tyreek Hill (shoulder) are unable to suit up against the Texans on Sunday, Pringle figures to remain behind the aforementioned Robinson and Hardman on the depth chart.

Cooper caught 11 of 14 targets for a career-high 226 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Packers.

While he was a big part of the Cowboys' comeback attempt in the second half, it was a first-quarter catch Cooper didn't make -- that bounced into the waiting arms of Jaire Alexander for the first of three Green Bay INTs on the afternoon -- that set the tone for the game. Cooper has found the end zone in four of five games so far and hauled in at least 80 yards in three of them, giving him a more consistent start to the season than his boom-or-bust performance in 2018.

Davis hauled in two of his four targets for 28 yards in Week 5 against the Bills.

Davis tied for second on the team in targets and made his only major contribution during a two-minute drill before halftime when he hauled in a short pass and turned it into a 23-yard gain. Though Davis has certainly been a disappointment this season -- he has 13 catches for 201 yards in five games -- it's difficult to ascertain whether that performance has been caused by individual skill or poor team context. In either case, Davis will look to return to his form in Week 4 when he hauled in five receptions for 91 yards and a score. His next chance to do so will be Week 6 at the Broncos.

Valdes-Scantling caught one of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Cowboys.

The Packers' passing game didn't have much to do with Aaron Jones dominating the offense, but MVS still failed to do much with the volume he did get. He's now had two poor performances in a row since Davante Adams (toe) was injured, and Valdes-Scantling may not have earned enough trust from Aaron Rodgers yet to simply step into the team's No. 1 receiving role.

Gage hauled in one of two targets for 12 receiving yards during Sunday's 53-32 loss to the Texans.

The second-year wideout was able to bounce back quickly from a concussion suffered in the season opener against Minnesota, suiting up in all four of Atlanta's games since but never getting more than one offensive touch or fielding even 25 percent of the offensive snaps. Neither Gage or Justin Hardy has emerged as the Falcons' No. 4 option at wide receiver, as Atlanta gets set for a Week 6 matchup against an Arizona secondary that has held up reasonably well in Patrick Peterson's (suspension) absence thus far in 2019, ranking among the NFL's best 20 teams in terms of receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns allowed to opposing wideouts.

Brown caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Week 5 against the Bills.

One week after delivering a splash performance, Brown disappeared to the periphery in Week 5. Though he hauled in his pair of targets, Brown was out-targeted by Adam Humphries, Corey Davis and Dion Lewis. While Brown has shown he's capable of delivering big plays, the team is hesitant to regularly air out the ball and also appears content to develop him slowly. In Week 6, the Titans will travel to Denver in what projects to be another slow-paced and low-scoring matchup, meaning Brown isn't likely to see an uptick in volume.

Sutton caught four of seven targets for 92 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Chargers.

Sutton led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, doing the bulk of his damage on a 70-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. The second-year wideout is quietly off to a strong start to the season, averaging 80.2 receiving yards per game to go along with three touchdowns across five contests. Sutton has clearly developed a rapport with Joe Flacco, but he'll face a tough home matchup against the Titans next Sunday.

Williams (back) caught six of 13 targets for 74 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

Listed as questionable with an injury heading in, Williams started and led Chargers wideouts in targets, catches and receiving yards. He nearly added a couple of big gains to his ledger but came up short on several occasions as he hauled in less than half of the passes sent his way. Still, it was a positive sign to see Williams so involved after missing last week's game, and he should be good to go for next Sunday's home matchup against the Steelers.

Ridley hauled in five of a team-high nine targets, collecting 88 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 53-32 loss to the Texans.

It's been the tale of two Ridleys through five weeks of the talented wideout's sophomore campaign: He has 60-plus receiving yards and a touchdown in three different games this season (Weeks 1, 2 and 5), but just a combined four catches for 38 yards in his other two. He's played at least 60 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps in every game thus far in 2019, with nearly eight targets per game if excluding his enigmatic one-target outing in Week 3. Ridley and the Falcons' receiving corps prepare to take on a Cardinals defense that has allowed multiple passing touchdowns in every game but one thus far this season.
