  • Jets' Isaiah Williams: One catch in Week 5 win

    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.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Patriots' Romeo Doubs: Fades into background in Week 5 rout

    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.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Aonther TD in Week 5

    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.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Limited by Lions in loss

    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.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Grabs two TDs in Week 5 rout

    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.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Five catches, scores TD in victory

    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.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Commanders' Rachaad White: Seven touches in return

    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.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Punches in TD in win over Vegas

    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.

  • Jeremiyah Love RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Stymied by Lions in loss

    Love rushed 12 times for 22 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Love's meager rushing yardage total actually led the Cardinals on the afternoon, and game script had essentially turned away from the run by halftime with Arizona already down 24-7 at that point. The rookie first-round pick was on the sideline by the final drive of the afternoon, and Love finished with a new career low in rushing yards. The downturn on the ground was particularly drastic when compared to Love's previous two games, when he'd gained 153 yards on 35 carries against the 49ers and Giants. Love and the Cardinals will have an uphill battle to bounce back in Week 6 as well, as Arizona pays a visit to the Rams next Sunday.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Earns only target in Week 5

    Harvey notched three carries for seven yards and didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 23-17 road win versus the Chargers.

    After being targeted a whopping 17 times over the previous two games, Harvey experienced a change in fortunes Sunday as no Bronco earned more than WR jaylen Waddle's five looks from QB Bo Nix. Harvey hasn't been able to get anything going on the ground this season (3.7 YPC) in his four appearances while Dobbins has earned the more consistent workload (13.8 touches per game), leaving the former a distant second in the pecking order out of Denver's backfield.
