Smith-Schuster caught all seven of his targets for 75 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-23 loss to Baltimore. He lost a fumble during the contest.

Smith-Schuster got the Steelers on the board late in the first quarter with a 35-yard catch-and-run over the middle to find the end zone. He almost converted a big second down in overtime but had the ball punched out, ultimately costing the Steelers the game. Smith-Schuster had arguably his most complete outing of the season against Baltimore -- aided by James Washington's (shoulder) exit -- but is now down to his third quarterback. Mason Rudolph's (concussion) health will have a major influence on Smith-Schuster's value heading into Week 6 against the Chargers.

Chark hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 164 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 against the Panthers.

Chark tallied the Jaguars' first two touchdowns of the contest, the first on a 37-yard deep pass in which he beat corner Ross Cockrell streaking across the left side of the field. He followed that up with an 11-yard reception in the end zone, finding a soft spot in the Panthers' zone. While his 4.34 40-yard dash time is the highlight of his profile, Chark has proven to be far more than just a burner by racking up eight or more targets in three of his last four games. Now that he's emerged as Gardner Minshew's top target, he'll look to keep things going in Week 6 against the Saints.

Brown caught three of five targets for 22 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-23 win over the Steelers.

Brown scored his first touchdown since Week 1 early in the second quarter, leaping between a pair of defenders for the 11-yard touchdown. Brown had an incredible start to his career with 12 catches for 233 yards and two scores in his first two games. Defenses seem to have figured him out a bit as he has just nine catches for 93 yards and a score in his last three outings. He'll have a chance to correct course against a winless Bengals team in Week 6.

Montgomery rushed twice for one yard and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Philadelphia.

This was a deja vu stat line for Montgomery, who also had exactly two carries for one yard in the previous game. Le'Veon Bell is the only Jets running back worth owning as long as he's healthy.

Moore hauled in six of his eight targets for 91 yards in Week 5 against the Jaguars.

Moore took advantage of his most targets with Kyle Allen under center by turning in his highest yardage total of the season. While he wasn't able to find the end zone, his effort was highlighted by a 52-yard pass deep down the left sideline, which he converted by leaping over A.J. Bouye. Most encouraging was Moore's involvement in the offense; he had just seven targets combined between Allen's previous two starts. He'll look to build on the performance in Week 6 as the Panthers take on the Buccaneers in London.

Wims was targeted once, but didn't post a reception in the Bears' 24-21 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Wims continued to sub for Taylor Gabriel, who missed his second straight game with a concussion. If Gabriel returns to action after the Week 6 bye, Wims will see very limited snaps in most games, and it's unlikely he'll be a useful fantasy option.

Crowder caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Philadelphia.

Crowder caught 14 balls from Sam Darnold in Week 1, but he has just eight catches in three games since as Darnold has sat out with mononucleosis. The slot receiver isn't a viable option until Darnold returns, but that could happen as soon as New York's next game, a Week 6 meeting with the Cowboys.

Snead caught four of five passes for 51 yards during Sunday's 26-23 overtime win against the Steelers.

It doesn't look like much, but Snead's four receptions were his most since Week 16 of the 2018 season. The veteran target is catching passes at an impressive 17.1 yards-per-reception clip, but it's hard to get much consistency in Baltimore's unconventional offense. He has a favorable matchup in Week 6 against a Bengals defense surrendering 12.3 yards per catch, the eighth-highest rate in the league.

Smith scored a 19-yard rushing touchdown on his only touch in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Eagles.

Smith delivered New York's only points of the game on an end-around. He's still buried deep down the wide receiver depth chart, but Smith likely earned himself a larger role moving forward by making the most of his opportunity here.

Slayton caught four of five targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Vikings.

Although Slayton finished fourth on the team in targets, he led it in receiving yardage and yards per catch (15.5). The majority of his production came on a 35-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter, which was New York's only play longer than 20 yards for the game. Slayton has certainly flashed his ability to generate big plays early on in his NFL career, but he'll find the going tough in Thursday's road matchup against a surging Patriots defense.
