Williams recorded one reception on one target for nine yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Bengals. He added one rush for one yard.

Williams was coming off an eight-target performance in Week 4, but he had very limited involvement in Sunday's blowout victory. Both of his touches came on Detroit's first two drives of the game. While Jared Goff only took to the air 23 times to limit opportunities across the board, Williams has five or fewer targets in all but one game so far this season.

Higgins recorded three receptions on seven targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

Higgins was unable to record a catch on his first three targets and had only seven yards for the first 55 minutes of game time. He saved his day with a 13-yard catch followed by a two-yard touchdown grab late in the fourth quarter, but it was another disastrous day for the Bengals' offense led by Jake Browning. Despite his undeniable talent, Higgins is a risky fantasy start every week, but particularly heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Packers.

Harrison recorded four receptions on five targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans.

Harrison got off to a remarkable start to the game, leaping over a pair of defenders for what initially appeared to be a 44-yard touchdown on Arizona's opening drive. He was ruled down at the one after review, though it was still his second catch of at least 40 yards this season. Harrison then recorded gains of 20 and 16 yards on Arizona's next drive, before largely disappearing from the game plan as the Cardinals got very conservative on offense. While the performance was nearly much bigger from a fantasy perspective, Harrison is starting to stack together positive showings after delivering 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 4.

Coleman recorded four receptions on seven targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

Coleman finished second on the team with seven targets, though he struggled to an inefficient performance like many of Buffalo's skill-position players. Both of his notable catches came in the fourth quarter, starting with a two-yard touchdown reception midway through the period. One possession later, he made a leaping, contested grab that went for 13 yards to help set up a game-tying field goal. While Coleman made key contributions for the team, he now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in three of five games for the season.

Shakir recorded six receptions on nine targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

Shakir matched his season high of nine targets, though he wasn't able to turn that into much production. Four of his six catches went for six or fewer yards, leading to his third performance with less than 50 receiving yards on the campaign. Shakir will continue to be a key part of the Buffalo offense, but he's reliant primarily on yards after the catch or touchdowns for big fantasy performances, with the majority of his opportunity coming in the short areas of the field.

Shepard finished with four receptions on five targets for 24 yards and a touchdown while losing five yards on his only rushing attempt in Sunday's 38-35 win over Seattle.

Shepard overcame a minor foot injury early in the practice week in order to suit up without restrictions in Sunday's win. The 32-year-old continued serving as the Buccaneers' No. 3 receiver, occupying the vacancy left by Mike Evans (hamstring) in Weeks 4 and 5 after filling in for Chris Godwin over the team's first three contests. If Evans remains sidelined for next Sunday's tilt against the 49ers, Shepard can continue providing value in Week 6 for those in deeper formats.

TeSlaa caught his only target for a 12-yard touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Bengals.

TeSlaa wasn't a major part of the offense again in Week 5, but he was able to make the most of his only opportunity, reeling in a 12-yard score in the fourth quarter. Fellow wide receiver Kalif Raymond suffered a neck injury in the second quarter of the contest, and he was unable to return to the game. If Raymond is forced to miss any action moving forward, TeSlaa would likely see an uptick in workload behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams as the team's No. 3 option at wideout.

Diggs hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 146 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.

Diggs saved his best performance of the season to date for the bright lights of Sunday Night Football in a win over one of his former clubs. The 31-year-old star wideout cracked the century mark in receiving yards for the second consecutive week after totaling just 112 yards over his first three appearances with New England. A lack of touchdowns lingers as the only flaw in Diggs' 2025 fantasy resume, but his recent game log proves that he still can produce at an elite level. Diggs should be treated as a WR1 in fantasy when the Patriots visit the Saints next Sunday.

Kupp corralled six of nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

Kupp produced his second-best receiving line as a member of the Seahawks while finishing in a tie with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the team lead in targets (nine) Sunday. The 32-year-old Kupp was held out of the end zone for the fifth time in as many games this season, resulting in a useful PPR score and not much else. The former Los Angeles Ram has carved out a decent role as the Seahawks' No. 2 receiver, but he lacks the upside that once made him a must-start option in fantasy. Kupp's upside is capped as a flex option for a Week 6 matchup against the Jaguars.

Ridley recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 131 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.

Ridley entered Sunday's game having recorded only 141 yards combined across his first four games of the season. He finally got on track against the Cardinals, accounting for the Titans' three longest plays from scrimmage with receptions of 47, 38 and 25 yards. His longest two came at particularly opportune times, as he helped set up a touchdown early in the fourth quarter before getting Tennessee into field-goal range to attempt the game-winning kick as time expired. It will still be difficult to consistently trust Ridley given his start to the season, but it was encouraging to see him display some rapport with Cam Ward.
