Young hauled in his lone target for a 36-yard reception and returned five kickoffs for 154 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

Young logged just four of the Seahawks' 61 offensive snaps, but he made a big impact during his time on the field, connecting with quarterback Sam Darnold on a deep ball early in the third quarter to set up an eventual Zach Charbonnet touchdown run. The Seahawks could continue to sprinkle Young into the offensive game as a downfield threat, but the 26-year-old projects to deliver most of his impact as a return man.

Bobo went without a target while playing five of the Seahawks' 61 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

The five snaps were Bobo's fewest of the season, though the third-year wideout hadn't been especially involved on offense over his prior three appearances on the season, having failed to eclipse a 33 percent snap share in any of those contests. He remains a core special-teams contributor for Seattle but is buried on the depth chart at receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton.

Smith-Schuster caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.

Smith-Schuster played 42 of the Chiefs' 64 offensive snaps Monday, behind Xavier Worthy (49) and ahead of Marquise Brown (33), Tyquan Thornton (29) and Jalen Royals (4). Despite playing the second most snaps of any Kansas City wideout, the veteran was unable to get much going in the passing game. Smith-Schuster is already difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, and the looming return of Rashee Rice from his six-game suspension should further complicate matters for the ninth-year receiver. Smith-Schuster will have the chance to bounce back in what should be a high-scoring affair when the Chiefs host the Lions in Week 6.

Slayton (hamstring) is not expected to be available for Thursday's home game against the Eagles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Slayton suffered a hamstring injury during New York's loss to the Saints on Sunday, and he was listed as a non-participant at practice both Monday and Tuesday. He's expected to be officially declared out with the release of Wednesday's practice report, which Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports would pave the way for Lil'Jordan Humphrey to be elevated from the practice squad for Thursday's matchup and play a role on offense behind Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Lazard (personal) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos in London, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Lazard didn't travel with the team to London due to a personal matter, and he's now officially been ruled out for Week 6. In Lazard's stead, Tyler Johnson is now positioned for added opportunities on offense behind Garrett Wilson, Josh Reynolds and Arian Smith. Across four regular-season appearances so far, Lazard has secured four of six targets for 24 receiving yards and one score.

Houston executive vice president and general manager Nick Caserio said Tuesday that he expects Watson (calf/Achilles) to return later this season, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Watson sustained the injury in Week 2 and landed on injured reserve, which requires him to miss at least four games. Judging from Caserio's comments, Wilson will likely miss more time than the minimum. While responding to questions about the team's injured players, the GM put Watson in a bucket of players whose timeline is less definitive than others. Watson served as a backup through the first two weeks, when Christian Kirk was unavailable due to a hamstring injury. When Watson is healthy, he's unlikely to have much of a role.

Thrash is listed as a starting wide receiver on the Browns' unofficial depth chart for Week 6's game against the Steelers.

Thrash was in the starting lineup last week against Minnesota, but by the end of the day, Isaiah Bond (40 snaps, seven targets) was more involved than Thrash (28, one). Regardless of what the depth chart shows, Thrash should be considered the No. 3 wideout behind Bond, whose 21 targets for the season are second only to Jerry Jeudy among the team's wideouts. Thrash has caught five of six targets for 40 yards through the first five weeks.

Horton caught three of four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

Horton's trip to the end zone Sunday was his third touchdown of the season. The wideout operated as Seattle's No. 3 receiver, playing 30 of the team's 61 offensive snaps behind both Jaxon Smith-Njigba (55) and Cooper Kupp (54). Horton remains hard to trust for fantasy purposes due to his limited opportunities in the passing game. Barring injuries, the rookie remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option who should find it extremely difficult to keep up his current touchdown pace. The Seahawks will square off against the Jaguars in Week 6.

Wilson caught two of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans.

Wilson's quiet start to the 2025 campaign continued Sunday, as the third-year wideout operated as the Cardinals' No. 2 receiver behind Marvin Harrison. Despite playing a solid 69 percent of Arizona's offensive snaps, Wilson was unable to get much going against the Titans. Through five weeks, the Stanford product has recorded just eight catches on 18 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown. Wilson remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Colts.

Walker didn't play a snap on offense in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

All 14 of Walker's snaps came on special teams Week 5 while Baltimore went with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace as its options at receiver. Walker made a splash in Week 2 with two touchdown catches in a win over the Browns, but in the three games since, he's managed just one 34-yard reception on one target.
