Woods secured five of nine targets for 48 yards in the Rams' 30-29 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.

Woods couldn't come close to replicating his massive 13-catch, 164-yard performance versus the Buccaneers four days earlier, but he did check in third in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the night for the Rams. The veteran's normal range of production sits somewhere between his numbers from the last two games, making him one of the more reliable week-to-week options for fantasy purposes, albeit with relatively capped upside. He'll look to boost his numbers back up across the board in a tough Week 6 matchup against the 49ers a week from Sunday.

Kupp brought in nine of 17 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 30-29 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.

Kupp's normally robust workload bumped up another couple notches Thursday, with Brandin Cooks' early exit from the contest due to a head injury certainly playing a part. The third-year wideout also secured his fourth touchdown of the season with a nine-yard scoring grab in the second quarter, and he extended his streak of 100-yard games to four. Now arguably Jared Goff's No. 1 receiver irrespective of official depth chart slotting, Kupp will look to continue his outstanding start to the season versus the 49ers in a Week 6 divisional matchup a week from Sunday.

Lockett caught all four targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Rams.

Lockett tied Will Dissly and Jaron Brown for the team high in targets in a game which saw QB Russell Wilson attempt 23 passes. Late in the first quarter, Wilson scrambled out of the pocket and tossed a pass to the back corner of the end zone, where Lockett dragged his feet and leaned out of bounds for the team's first touchdown of the evening. It doesn't look like Lockett, who also logged four targets in Week 4, will consistently draw the sort of volume he did between Weeks 2 and 3, when he saw a combined 26 looks, but he continues to see plenty of snaps in Seattle's offense, including a 91 percent share Thursday night.

Cooks is being evaluated for a concussion during Thursday's game against the Seahawks.

Cooks carried once for 27 yards and secured one-of-three targets for 29 yards before exiting. The injury came on Cooks' lone catch, a difficult grab along the right sideline which caused the receiver to come down hard on his head. Cooks has had head injuries in the past, suffering a concussion last season as a Ram and another notable head injury during Super Bowl LII as a Patriot. Consequently, the Rams' training staff might be cautious in allowing Cooks to return to Thursday's contest. Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and an emerging Gerald Everett will look to spearhead Los Angeles' passing game should Cooks remain out.

Jennings (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Rams.

Jennings received a scare last week when the Seahawks waived him, only to rescind the request. Otherwise, he's been a healthy scratch for all five games this season. The 2019 fourth-rounder will wait another week for his potential NFL debut.

Updating a previous report, Perriman (hamstring) was classified as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

The Buccaneers' official site listed Perriman as a limited participant in their second session of the week, but the wideout apparently wasn't able to put in any work with his healthy teammates in the end. More clarity on Perriman's situation will come following Friday's practice, when the Buccaneers will reveal his level of participation in addition to making a call on whether or not he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Saints. Through four games, Perriman has corraled only three of his 12 targets for 16 yards and no touchdowns.

Williams (back) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Consecutive limited practices have Williams trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Broncos approaches, but it remains to be seen if he heads into that contest listed as questionable, or free from a Week 5 injury designation.

Byrd (hamstring) was held out of practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Byrd replicated his listing from Wednesday's injury report, but he was seen working out on a side field Thursday, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. Still, because Byrd and fellow wideout Christian Kirk (ankle) are slated to sit out Sunday at Cincinnati, the Cardinals will be sending out Trent Sherfield and KeeSean Johnson as their primary outside receivers, with Andy Isabella available for those snaps as well.

Kirk (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Although he officially received a second consecutive DNP, Kirk was spotted working out on a side field and catching passes with a brace on his ankle, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. Such an observation backs up the belief of coach Kliff Kingsbury that Kirk's injury "could have been a lot worse," according to Kyle Odegard of the team's official site. Kirk is trending toward inactive status Sunday in Cincinnati, which will open the door for recent pickup Pharoh Cooper to earn snaps out of the slot along with Larry Fitzgerald.

Hill (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, the Chiefs don't seem inclined to rush Hill back into action this weekend against the Colts, with coach Andy Reid so far noncommittal about the wideout's availability for the contest. We'll revisit Hill's status Friday, but it seems likely he'll be listed as questionable for Sunday night's 8:20 ET kickoff.
