Oronde Gadsden II TE | LAC
Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Snares only target
Gadsden caught his only target for 14 yards in the 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
With Will Dissly (knee) out a third consecutive week, Gadsden saw a season-high 34 snaps while dramatically outplaying Tyler Conklin (20) and Tucker Fisk (17). Los Angeles is dealing with significant injuries to its offensive line, which has hindered Gadsden's ability to actually see any volume as a pass catcher. Even with the eventual return of Dissly, Gadsden is firmly entrenched as a piece of the offense, but it's unclear how much consistent fantasy utility that role will hold.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Racks up 10 stops in Week 5
Okereke tallied 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to the Saints.
Okereke paced New York in tackles while notching his third double-digit tally of the campaign. Through five weeks, the veteran linebacker has compiled 48 stops and one defensed pass.

Seahawks' Julian Love: No imminent decision for Week 6
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that a decision on whether Love (hamstring) will play against the Jaguars on Sunday will not likely be made until the end of the week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Love has missed two of the Seahawks' last three games due to a hamstring injury. He was unable to practice all of last week, so he'd have to participate in at least a limited capacity during Week 6 prep to have a shot at playing in Jacksonville. Ty Okada and Nick Emmanwori will continue to see increased work in the secondary alongside Coby Bryant for as long as Love is sidelined.

Tay Martin WR | DET
Commanders' Tay Martin: Reverts to practice squad
Martin reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Martin played a total of 26 snaps (14 on offense, 12 on special teams) and logged one catch for nine yards and a tackle during the Commanders' 27-10 win over the Chargers on Sunday. He could be elevated to Washington's active roster for a third consecutive game for Week 6 against the Bears if one or both of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) or Noah Brown (groin) are not cleared to play.

Avery Williams RB | NYJ
Avery Williams: Reverts to practice squad
Williams reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Williams played 12 snaps on special teams as a returner during Sunday's 40-6 loss against the Colts, and he made the most of his opportunity by logging 133 yards on five kickoff returns and 41 yards on four punt returns. It marked the first time Williams had been elevated to the Jets' active roster this season, and he could reprise his return role on special teams for Week 6 against the Broncos if Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) is unable to play.

James Proche WR | TEN
James Proche: Reverts to practice squad
Proche reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Proche was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals, but he ultimately didn't appear in the game. The wide receiver can now be elevated two more times this season before Tennessee would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre' Harris: No catch for third straight week
Harris did not record a target across 25 offensive snaps in the 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Harris actually saw a season high in terms of snap percentage, but the extra work didn't get the rookie more opportunities. The Chargers could be in a few more favorable passing game scripts with the offensive line in tatters due to injuries, but they have yet to significantly unlock the 2025 second-round pick.

Cam Akers RB | SEA
Vikings' Cam Akers: Back to practice squad
Akers reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday.
Akers played just one offensive snap during the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns on Sunday, but he made the most of that opportunity by throwing a 32-yard pass to Josh Oliver on a trick play in which the sixth-year running back was used as a wildcat quarterback. Akers has already been elevated to Minnesota's active roster three times, which is the maximum allowed for a season. He would have to be signed to the active roster in order to play for the Vikings for the rest of the season.

Jude McAtamney K | NYG
Giants' Jude McAtamney: Returns to practice squad
McAtamney reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
McAtamney operated as New York's kicker for the second straight week in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints, making two PATs in the contest. He's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad one more time before the team would need to officially sign him to the active roster. With Graham Gano (groin) sidelined for at least two more weeks, McAtamney will likely be elevated again for Thursday's game versus Philadelphia.

Albert Okwuegbunam TE | LV
Raiders' Albert Okwuegbunam: Back to practice squad
Okwuegbunam reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.
Okwuegbunam was elevated to the Raiders' active roster for a second straight game in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the colts. He didn't end up playing in the Week 4 loss to the Bears, but he saw the field for 31 offensive snaps Sunday due to the absences of Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer (concussion) at tight end. Okwuegbunam took advantage of the additional playing time, finishing the Week 5 loss with five catches (on six targets) for 36 yards. Okwuegbunam would be in line to be elevated to Las Vegas' active roster for Week 6 against the Titans if one or both of Bowers and Mayer aren't cleared to play.
