  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Out of Sunday's game

    Raymond won't return to Sunday's contest at Cincinnati due to a neck injury.

    Raymond remained on the turf for some time after taking a hit on an 11-yard punt return in second quarter before walking off the field under his own power. His only contribution to Sunday's box score was the aforementioned return, as he had no targets at the time of his exit.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Paces pass catchers in upset win

    Sutton brought in eight of 10 targets for 99 yards in the Broncos' 21-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Sutton led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, recording a team-high 34-yard catch along the way. The veteran wideout fell just short of what would have been his second 100-yard game of the campaign, but he's now posted at least 81 receiving yards in three straight contests. Sutton figures to remain Bo Nix's top target when the Broncos travel to London to face the Jets in a Week 6 clash next Sunday.

  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Stellar numbers in tough matchup

    Smith secured eight of 10 targets for 114 yards in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Smith shook off a highly undesirable matchup on paper to produce team-best totals in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, as well as a season-long 52-yard catch. The Eagles' unusual pass-centric approach Sunday certainly helped Smith's numbers, but even on lower-volume days for the air attack, Smith has been the more consistent producer between him and A.J. Brown by far through Philadelphia's first five games. Smith will take a 25-272-1 receiving line on 30 targets into a favorable Week 6 road matchup against the Giants on Thursday night.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Over century mark in loss

    Waddle brought in six of nine targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    In his first full game this season without Tyreek Hill (IR, knee) alongside him, Waddle stepped up as expected and led the Dolphins across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The talented veteran had another couple of close calls downfield that could have resulted in an even bigger day, but as it was, Waddle posted new season highs in catches, receiving yards and targets. He also recorded his third touchdown of the season on a go-ahead 46-yard grab with just under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, making it a productive all-around day despite the disappointing team outcome. Waddle will aim to put together a successful encore performance in a tough Week 6 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday afternoon.

  • Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Leads air attack again Sunday

    McMillan brought in six of eight targets for 73 yards in the Panthers' 27-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    McMillan led the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards and targets in what is becoming a customary occurrence for the talented rookie. The 2025 first-round pick equaled his career high in receptions while posting his second-highest yardage total to date, and he recorded multiple catches of 20-plus yards for the third time in five contests. The chemistry between McMillan and Bryce Young continues to grow by the game, and the duo will draw a favorable matchup at home against the Cowboys in Week 6 next Sunday afternoon.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Finds end zone in blowout win

    Collins recorded four receptions on five targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

    It was a solid day for Collins, highlighted by long gains of 24 and 14 yards as well as a 10-yard touchdown. However, he finished third on the team in receiving yards and was out-targeted by Dalton Schultz. That was likely affected by game script -- C.J. Stroud attempted only 10 passes in the second half and was benched for most of the fourth quarter -- but Collins has now seen six or fewer targets and recorded under 55 receiving yards in three of five games this season. His three touchdowns have covered up some of that lack of volume, but Collins hasn't put up the big reception or target totals expected entering the season.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Hurts neck in Week 5

    Raymond sustained a neck injury during Sunday's game in Cincinnati.

    Raymond was shaken up after a punt return in the second quarter and remained on the turf for a spell before walking off the field under his own power. If he's unable to get back on the field, he'll end Week 5 with no targets and the one punt return for 11 yards.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Stretches for late TD in loss

    Wilson caught six of 10 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys.

    Rookie tight end Mason Taylor actually led the Jets in targets with 12 and catches with nine, but Wilson once again paced the team in receiving yards and was on the other end of Justin Fields' second TD toss of the afternoon on New York's final possession. While he has yet to hit 100 yards in a game this season, Wilson will take an impressive 33-382-4 line on 48 targets into a Week 6 tilt with Patrick Surtain and the Broncos' stingy secondary.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Injures hamstring Sunday

    Slayton sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Slayton was seen limping on the sideline in the fourth quarter before the Giants considered him questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, Slayton will finish Week 5 action with three catches (on six targets) for 31 yards and a lost fumble.

  • Charlie Jones WR | CIN

    Bengals' Charlie Jones: Good to go against Detroit

    Jones (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Jones drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game despite not practicing all week due to an Achilles injury. The 2023 fourth-rounder has been cleared to play despite the lack of practice and will continue to serve in a return role on special teams.
