Thomas caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

Thomas' three receptions were his first of the season after he failed to earn a single target in the first four games of the season. With both Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer (concussion) sidelined, the veteran led all Raiders' tight ends in snaps. Thomas played 38 of the Raiders' 68 offensive snaps, ahead of both Albert Okwuegbunam (31) and Carter Runyon (6). Even if Bowers and Mayer continue to be sidelined, the 29-year-old Thomas should be ignored for fantasy purposes based on his limited potential as a pass catcher. The Raiders will host the Titans in Week 6.

Bech caught three of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

Bech saw a significant increase in playing time Sunday, as the 22-year-old was on the field for 53 percent of the Raiders offensive snaps against the Colts after averaging roughly a 12 percent snap share in the first four games of the season. The rookie wideout's five targets, three receptions and 27 yards were all season highs for the TCU product. Nonetheless, Bech remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Raiders' No. 3 wide receiver behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker. Las Vegas will look to get its struggling offense back on track in a Week 6 matchup against the Titans.

Thornton failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

Thornton was held without a catch for the second straight game Sunday, and his 47 percent offensive snap share was his lowest mark of the season. Through five games, the rookie wideout has recorded just five receptions for 94 yards. Thornton's limited role in the offense makes him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 22-year-old will have his next opportunity to produce when the Raiders host the Titans in Week 6.

White did not play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

White was not involved in the Raiders' offensive plans Sunday, as the veteran running back played exclusively on special teams in the contest. Meanwhile, Raheem Mostert operated as Ashton Jeanty's backup and Dylan Laube played exclusively on special teams. White's diminished role has taken him off the fantasy radar moving forward. The Raiders host the Titans in Week 6.

Anderson recorded three total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

Anderson played a season-low 19 snaps on defense, likely based on the team's ability to blow out Baltimore, but he was still able to compile at least three takedowns for the fourth time this season. The defensive end has now registered 17 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, over five games this year.

Hunter didn't record any stats, while playing 20 defensive snaps in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

Hunter went without a tackle for the second time this season, ultimately playing a season-low 20 snaps on defense in the blowout victory. With Houston idle Week 6, Hunter will look to get back on track against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 7.

Lassiter recorded four total tackles (three solo) and an interception in Sunday's 44-10 win over Baltimore.

Lassiter was able to jump in front of a pass from Cooper Rush in the fourth quarter, securing his first interception of the year. The cornerback has increased his weekly production in his second season with Houston, producing 28 total tackles (19 solo) and three passes defensed, including an interception, over five game so far.

To'oTo'o recorded five total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

To'oTo'o played a reduced amount of snaps on defense for the second week in a row, but he was still able to notch at least five takedowns for the fourth time this season. The linebacker has now registered 31 total tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed over five games this year.

Tranquill recorded three total tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.

Tranquill was limited to a season-low three takedowns in Week 5 and failed to make much of a mark on the contest. The linebacker has now registered 27 total tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also notching a pass defensed and a fumble recovery over five games this year. Tranquill will look to get back on track in Week 7 versus the Lions.

Karlaftis recorded two total tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also recovering a fumble in Monday's 31-28 loss to Jacksonville.

Karlaftis was held to two tackles for the second straight week, but he was still able to combine with Leo Chenal to sack Trevor Lawrence in the fourth quarter. Additionally, he was able to hop on a loose ball after Nick Bolton stripped Lawrence in the second quarter, notching his first fumble recovery since 2022. Karlaftis has now registered 20 total tackles (14 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and a fumble recovery over five games this year.
