Tolbert failed to catch his only target in Sunday's win over the Jets.

With WRs CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) both unavailable, the door was open for Tolbert to take on a much bigger role in the Cowboys' passing game, but it was Ryan Flournoy who walked through it instead. While Tolbert couldn't get any attention from QB Dak Prescott, Flournoy led the team in receiving yards, posting a 6-114-0 line on nine targets. Tolbert did play more offensive snaps than Flournoy, 46-34, but that's small comfort to fantasy GMs who took a flyer on him. Even if Lamb and Turpin remain out Week 6 against the Panthers, Tolbert can't be relied upon.

Worthy (shoulder/ankle), who was added to the Chiefs' Week 5 injury report Sunday, is expected to play Monday night against the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per the report, Worthy, who has been managing a shoulder issue, felt some swelling in his ankle and was added to Kansas City's injury report, but Rapoport suggests that was precautionary and that the wideout should be available Monday. While that's encouraging, fantasy managers will still want to confirm Worthy's status ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Higgins caught all four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens in Week 5.

Higgins was on the field for a season-high 39 snaps (56 percent share), as the rookie's role has steadily increased. Sunday's four targets also were a season high.

Noel caught two of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-10 win over Baltimore in Week 5. He also had one carry for five yards, one kickoff return for 31 yards and one punt return for 12 yards.

Noel was on the receiving end of a four-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud early in the fourth quarter that upped Houston's advantage to 41-10. It was the first NFL touchdown for the rookie wideout, who then engendered some ill on the road by mimicking the dance of legendary Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis. Noel, who has five catches (on seven targets) for 22 yards through five games, has mostly contributed on special teams as a returner.

Hutchinson caught all three of his targets for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens in Week 5.

Hutchinson had gone 36 games into his NFL career without reaching pay dirt prior to Sunday's two-TD outburst. Noted for his hard work and willingness to do the dirty job of blocking, Hutchinson was rewarded with three red-zone looks in the win. He now has 12 receptions, tying his career high set last year, for 110 yards through five games. His place in the Texans offense was uncertain after the team drafted two wide receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he's maintained a high volume of playing time, as his 205 snaps (64.9 percent share) are second only to Nico Collins (252, 79.7 percent).

Larvadain returned three punts for 31 yards and was not targeted on offense in Sunday's 21-17 loss to Minnesota in Week 5.

Larvadain made his season debut after being signed from the practice squad in the wake of injuries to Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) that landed both on the injured list last week. Larvadain had just one snap on offense, while fellow practice squad alum Malachi Corley played 12 snaps. The Browns on Sunday looked like a team that plans to rely on its ground game going forward, so opportunities for depth wideouts like Larvadain and Corley will be limited.

Corley had one carry for 11 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Vikings in Week 5.

Corley was signed to the active roster last week and made his season debut. Of the two receivers plucked from the practice squad this week, Corley's 12 snaps were more than Gage Larvadain's one. Both were bumped up after the Browns placed Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) on injured reserve.

Thrash caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-17 loss to Minnesota in Week 5.

For the second consecutive game, Thrash was on the field for 28 offensive snaps. Last week's injury to Cedric Tillman (hamstring) raised Thrash's profile to third on the depth chart, but Cleveland's passing attack remained limited. The switch from Joe Flacco to rookie Dillon Gabriel figures only to minimize the involvement of the wide receivers, which for the first time in 2025 didn't have more targets than the tight ends.

Bond caught two of seven targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Vikings in Week 5.

Bond was expected to see an uptick in usage following a hamstring injury to Cedric Tillman that landed him on injured reserve last week. Bond was on the field for 40 snaps, which is in line with his volume the two previous weeks, while the seven targets were a season high. The shift at quarterback from Joe Flacco to Dillon Gabriel didn't pan out so well for the wide receivers, who combined to haul in five of 13 targets, the fewest that group has logged in five games.

Iosivas recorded five receptions on seven targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

Jake Browning took to the air 40 times as Cincinnati tried to fight back from a multi-score deficit for nearly the entire game, though Iosivas didn't wait until garbage time to produce. He drew a target on the team's first offensive possession and had three catches for 37 yards by halftime. He then went on to record a 30-yard reception -- the Bengals' second-longest play from scrimmage -- in the fourth quarter to cap his day. This was one of Iosivas' biggest roles in a meaningful game during his career, particularly with both Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase healthy, though it's difficult to trust that continuing heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Packers.
