Brissett completed 29 of 47 passes for 292 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 19 yards and a seven-yard reception on his only target in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Brissett's final stat line was deceptively impressive and largely the byproduct of plenty of production amassed over the final two drives when Arizona was already down by more than three touchdowns. The veteran signal-caller capped off both of those possessions with scoring tosses to tight ends, connecting with Teagan Quitoriano (13 yards) and Trey McBride (nine yards). Brissett had previously recorded a two-yard scoring strike to Quitoriano back in the first quarter as well, and the former finished with a season high in passing yards and touchdown passes. Brissett next faces the tough challenge of the Rams' talented secondary in a Week 6 road matchup next Sunday.

Goff completed 19 of 30 passes for 271 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding a one-yard touchdown on his only rush attempt in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Detroit.

The Lions offense got off to a generally non-descript start during a scoreless first quarter, but Goff helped fuel a 24-point breakout in the second quarter that set the tone for the lopsided win. Goff connected with Sam LaPorta (38 yards) and Jameson Williams (eight yards) for a pair of scoring tosses before halftime, and he added a 39-yard strike to Jameson Williams early in the third quarter before adding his one yard scoring dive late in the period. Goff has generated multi-TD-pass efforts in four of the first five games and has yet to throw an interception, so he heads into the Week 6 bye that will precede a Week 7 home divisional showdown against the Packers on Oct. 25 with 1,485 passing yards and a 12:0 TD:INT.

Williams caught one of two targets for 16 yards and added a three-yard carry in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns. He also had a 26-yard kickoff return and netted 67 yards on four punt returns.

Williams got the ball in his hands in four different ways but was quiet as a pass catcher after getting behind the defense for a 58-yard touchdown in the Week 4 loss to Chicago. The Jets were once again without wide receivers Adonai Mitchell (finger) and Omar Cooper (ankle) against the Browns, but Cooper will be eligible to return from IR ahead of the team's Week 6 trip to New England.

Doubs caught one of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

Six different Patriots caught at least three passes from Drake Maye as the QB tossed four TDs in total, but Doubs wasn't able to secure a share of the bounty. It was a very disappointing follow-up to his 6-58-2 line from last week given the circumstances, but with his quarterback having apparently regained his swagger, Doubs' own arrow is still pointed up. After getting blanked in his New England debut, Doubs has a 13-219-2 line on 20 targets over the last four games. He'll look to get back in the end zone in a Week 6 tilt against the Jets.

Vidal tallied eight carries for 57 yards and one touchdown, one catch (on two targets) for minus-1 yard and returned three kicks for 75 yards during Sunday's 23-17 defeat to the Broncos.

After opening the season with no touches through the first two games -- and just two in Week 3 -- Vidal has taken full advantage of his 16 over the last two contests, turning them into 92 yards from scrimmage and two TDs. All three of the Chargers' running backs got in the mix Sunday, with Omarion Hampton earning 15 touches and Keaton Mitchell getting six, but Vidal was the only one of the trio with an end-zone visit. Considering his recent success, Vidal appears likely to hold on to a regular role next Sunday at Kansas City.

Wilson brought in four of seven targets for 30 yards and completed his only pass attempt for seven yards in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Wilson wasn't able to approach his usual elevated numbers against a Lions defense that had struggled against the pass. The typically busy receiver still finished tied for third in targets and also slotted in third in receptions, but Wilson ultimately generated his second-lowest reception and receiving yardage tallies of 2026. Marvin Harrison was traded to the Texans earlier Sunday, so despite Wilson's quiet afternoon, fantasy managers now know Wilson will have one fewer competitor for targets from Jacoby Brissett moving forward.

Douglas caught four of five targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

The fourth-year wideout put together the first two-TD game of his career, connecting with Drake Maye for a 35-yard strike in the first quarter and an eight-yard toss in the fourth to bookend the Patriots' offensive eruption. The scores were Douglas' first of 2026, and through five games he's produced an otherwise modest 13-147-2 line on 22 targets. With Maye regaining his swagger and New England's WR room depleted by injuries, however, there could be more big performances coming for Douglas. He'll carry plenty of momentum into a Week 6 clash with the Jets.

Noel caught all five of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-3 win over Tennessee.

Noel led the team in catches in the victory, most notably reeling in a nine-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud in the fourth quarter. The wide receiver has now caught 13 of 17 targets for 227 yards and a touchdown over five contests to open the 2026 campaign. With Houston trading for wideout Marvin Harrison on Sunday, it's unclear if Noel will continue to see the same amount of opportunities moving forward.

White (shoulder) rushed seven times for 18 yards while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Giants.

White recorded 20 scrimmage yards on seven touches in his return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Jacory Croskey-Merritt led Washington's running backs with 11 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown, while White and Austin Ekeler each drew one target out of the backfield. Ekeler's return to Washington could prove problematic for White, as the two veteran running backs could split passing-down work while Croskey-Merritt continues to get most of the carries. White could get more opportunities if the Commanders are forced to play catch-up against the 5-0 49ers in Week 6.

Stevenson carried the ball 13 times for 64 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Raiders.

There was some question whether Stevenson would even be active for this one after a knee issue limited his practice participation during the week, but the veteran was the clear top option in the Patriots' backfield as TreVeyon Henderson managed just 38 scrimmage yards on five touches. Stevenson's longest gain went for 20 yards en route to a season high in rushing yards, and he punched in a five-yard TD in the first quarter that put New England in the lead for good at 14-7. Stevenson will look to keep rolling in a Week 6 tilt against the Jets.
