  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Reaches paydirt twice

    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).

  • Gage Larvadain WR | CLE

    Browns' Gage Larvadain: Returns punts in season debut

    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.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: Makes season debut

    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.

  • Jamari Thrash WR | CLE

    Browns' Jamari Thrash: Snares lone target

    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.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Season-high seven targets

    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.

  • Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN

    Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Expanded role in Week 5

    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.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Minimal involvement in Week 5

    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.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Scores late TD

    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.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Building positive performances

    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.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Tallies key score in loss

    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.
