Kirk recorded four receptions on four targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

Kirk had his best day as a Texan due primarily to a 47-yard catch to start the fourth quarter, narrowly missing a touchdown while being taken down at the three-yard line. Houston has spread its targets relatively evenly between several different pass catchers early this season, leaving Kirk with only four targets in consecutive games. That limited volume will hurt his fantasy outlook, though Sunday's big play was encouraging.

Meyers secured four of six targets for 32 yards in the Raiders' 40-6 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

With Brock Bowers (knee) unavailable, the expectation was that Meyers would be even busier than usual in his role as the Raiders' No. 1 receiver. However, all of Tre Tucker, Ashton Jeanty and even practice squad call-up Albert Okwuegbunam outpaced Meyers in receptions, receiving yards or both. After opening the season in typically productive fashion with a 17-228-0 line on 26 targets over his first three games, Meyers has slumped to an 8-62-0 tally on 13 targets over the last pair of contests. The veteran will have a good opportunity to bounce back in Week 6, however, as a suspect Titans defense comes to Las Vegas next Sunday afternoon.

Toure agreed Sunday to sign with the Broncos' practice squad, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The wide receiver was waived by the Bears in August after catching five passes for 72 yards across three preseason games. A 2022 seventh-round draft pick of the Packers, Toure hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since Week 17 of the 2023 season.

Reynolds caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys. He also caught a two-point conversion.

While his numbers were modest, Reynolds was the only New York wideout aside from Garrett Wilson (6-71-1 on 10 targets) to catch more than one pass or see more than two targets on the afternoon. The 30-year-old journeyman is on his sixth team in the last six seasons, but there could be an opportunity with the Jets to carve out a consistent role, as the team lacks downfield threats aside from Wilson and rookie tight end Mason Taylor. Reynolds will look to build on this performance in Week 6 against the Broncos.

Samuel finished with eight receptions on 11 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

Samuel overcame a heel injury during the practice week to lead a shorthanded Washington receiver room Sunday. The star acquisition led his new club in targets, receptions and receiving yards while catching QB Jayden Daniels' only passing touchdown of the contest. The 29-year-old has turned back the clock in 2025, generating 346 yards of offense and four total touchdowns through five games. Even if No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returns against the Bears next Monday, Samuel's consistent production makes him a must-start asset in fantasy for Week 6.

Flournoy caught six of nine targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 37-22 win over the Jets. He added 10 rushing yards on two carries.

With CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) both unavailable, Flournoy stepped up to lead the Cowboys in receiving yards while topping the century mark for the first time in his career -- in fact, the second-year wideout's previous high was only 41 yards. It's not yet clear whether either Lamb or Turpin, or both, will be able to return in Week 6 against the Panthers, but Flournoy made a strong case Sunday to move up to the WR4 or even WR3 spot in the Dallas offense.

Chase recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

Chase and the entire Bengals' offense got off to a slow start, as he had only four catches on eight targets for 31 yards at halftime. That changed quickly in the final two quarters, as Chase took his two targets for 15- and 64-yard touchdowns. The latter was particularly impressive, as he beat Amik Robertson on a double move to get wide open behind the defense. Chase's weekly outlook is hurt by the subpar play of Jake Browning, though Chase is talented enough to overcome the poor offensive environment and showcased that ability in Sunday's loss.

Pickens caught two of four targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-22 win over the Jets.

The game was more lopsided than the final score might suggest -- Dallas took a 30-6 lead into the fourth quarter -- and Pickens wasn't needed for much volume as a result. He made his few looks count, however, burning Sauce Gardner for a 43-yard TD in the third quarter. Since CeeDee Lamb (ankle) got hurt early in Week 3, Pickens has erupted for a 15-259-4 line on 24 targets as Dak Prescott's most dangerous downfield threat. Whether he's able to continue that hot streak in Week 6 against the Panthers may depend largely on Lamb's health.

St. Brown recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 100 yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Bengals.

St. Brown continued his excellent start to the season, leading the Lions in all receiving stats. He saw the majority of his volume in the first half, but his longest catch of the day was a 26-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. The only shortcoming was that St. Brown failed to find the end zone for the first time since Week 1, but he balanced that out by recording his second 100-yard receiving game of the campaign.

Shaheed caught four of five targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.

Most of that production came on a single play -- an 87-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter that Shaheed took to the house. The fourth-year wideout hadn't exceeded 52 receiving yards in a game this year prior to Sunday, and second-year QB Spencer Rattler may not be able to find his deep threat so easily against more competent secondaries, but it was still an encouraging sign for Shaheed and the Saints' aerial attack. He'll look for another big play or two in Week 6 against the Patriots.
