Davis rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

The second-year pro from Kentucky has now rushed 13 times for 30 yards over the Bills' first five games this season, playing 38 offensive snaps. In Sunday night's loss, Ty Johnson logged more offensive snaps than Davis (12 to six) for the third consecutive game, suggesting that he's taken over as Buffalo's No. 2 running back. Davis is likely to play a limited role in the Bills' offense again in the Week 6 matchup against the Falcons.

Johnson secured all four targets for 59 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

The rookie filled a bigger role than expected in the wild victory, making excellent use of his 22 snaps, which amounted to 36 percent of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. Johnson displayed his trademark shiftiness after the catch, gaining 31 of his yards post-reception. He's thought to have much more upside than the standard seventh-round pick after finishing his college career at Oregon with back-to-back 10-touchdown seasons, and perhaps Sunday's production will serve as a launchpad for more opportunity.

Tucker rushed three times for three yards and brought in all three targets for minus-4 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

The expanded role as Sunday's No. 2 back afforded to Tucker due to Bucky Irving's (foot/shoulder) absence didn't end up netting much opportunity for the speedy third-year pro, who logged a modest 13 snaps from scrimmage (21 percent). Tucker didn't find any room to operate when he did have the ball in his hands, making it a completely non-descript day from a fantasy standpoint. Irving is expected to remain out for Sunday's Week 6 home showdown against the 49ers, however, so Tucker should have another opportunity to spell interim lead back Rachaad White on occasion during that contest.

Lane caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) both out, Lane played a larger role on the Commanders' offense for the second consecutive week. The rookie from Virginia Tech has caught three of five targets for 34 yards across 34 offensive snaps during that span. He's operated as the team's No. 4 wideout, but his offensive role will likely diminish once McLaurin and Brown return from injury. Expect Lane to contribute both offensively and on special teams in the Commanders' Week 6 matchup against the Bears.

Bonitto recorded four tackles (three solo), including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles.

With another dominant performance Sunday, Bonitto is now the league leader in sacks, recording 7.0 sacks through five games. The 26-year-old linebacker is a key part Denver's formidable defense that continues to make things difficult for opposing quarterbacks. Bonitto should continue to make a strong case for serving as a high-end IDP option when the Broncos face off with the Jets in London in Week 6.

Moore was unable to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

For the second consecutive week, the 32-year-old operated as the Commanders' No. 2 wideout while Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) remained out. During that span, Moore has played 72 offensive snaps and rushed once for nine yards but failed to catch any of his four targets. If McLaurin and Brown miss their third consecutive game in Week 6 against the Bears, Moore will likely play a similar role on the Commanders' offense.

Warren (knee) participated in individual drills at Monday's practice, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Warren missed the Steelers' Week 4 game against the Vikings in Ireland and had the Week 5 bye to recover. Pittsburgh isn't required to release an official practice report until Wednesday this week, but Warren's presence on the field Monday would indicate he's closing in on being 100 percent and returning to game action ahead of Sunday's date with the Browns.

McCaffrey caught one of two targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

The second-year wideout from Rice was electric in Sunday's win, recording a 50-yard completion over the middle of the field to set up a game-tying field goal at the end of the second quarter. Additionally, McCaffrey returned three kickoffs for 92 yards and has now accumulated 377 kickoff-return yards through Washington's first five games this season. He played 22 offensive snaps and operated as the Commanders' No. 3 wideout with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) both sidelined in Week 5. McCaffrey will likely play another depth role in the wide-receiver corps and continue returning kicks in the Week 6 matchup against the Bears.

Trautman reeled in his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles.

Trautman had another quiet day Sunday despite playing the most snaps of all Denver tight ends against the Eagles. The veteran played 31 of the Broncos' 74 offensive snaps, slightly ahead of both Evan Engram (30) and Nate Adkins (27). It was Engram, however, that took a step forward in the offense, securing four of six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown. Mainly a blocking specialist, Trautman offers little in the way of fantasy-relevant production on a weekly basis. The 28-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Broncos face the Jets in London in Week 6.

McNichols rushed once for six yards and caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

The Boise State product has now tallied just five touches over the Commanders' last two games, suggesting he's operating as the team's No. 3 running back. Although McNichols played more offensive snaps than Chris Rodriguez (14-13), he recorded three fewer touches. Additionally, rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt broke out for 150 total yards on 16 touches, further cementing McNichols' status as a reserve option. He's likely to have a similar role in the Week 6 matchup against the Bears, playing primarily on passing downs.
