  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Has prominent role in win

    Dulin had two receptions for 55 yards on five targets in Sunday's win over Las Vegas. He got the start at receiver in a three-receiver set and played on 47 of the offense's 66 snaps.

    Dulin moved into the starting lineup with Alec Pierce (concussion) missing his second straight game and with Adonai Mitchell demoted due to dropping the football prior to passing the goal line to wipe out a would-be 76-yard touchdown and then committing a holding penalty to negate a 53-yard touchdown in Week 4. Mitchell played just six snaps late in the game after it became a blowout win. Dulin could stay in a top three receiver role if both Pierce and Mitchell remain out of the mix next week against Arizona.

  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: One catch in Week 5

    Smith caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys.

    The rookie wideout from Georgia played 42 offensive snaps and caught his lone target in the Week 5 loss, bringing his season totals to four catches for 24 yards across five games. Smith played behind Garrett Wilson (68 snaps) and Josh Reynolds (53 snaps) on Sunday, suggesting he could be operating as the team's No. 3 wideout. However, the increased playing time didn't translate to production, and he'll likely have a similar role in the Week 6 matchup against the Broncos.

  • Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ

    Jets' Isaiah Davis: Four touches vs. Dallas

    Davis rushed once for five yards and caught three of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys.

    The second-year pro from South Dakota State played a season-high 32 offensive snaps while serving as the Jets' No. 2 running back in Week 5. As expected, Breece Hall handled a majority of New York's backfield work, tallying 155 total yards on 18 touches. Davis has now rushed six times for 32 yards and caught six of nine targets for 52 yards across his first five games of this season. He's expected to play a similar role in the Jets' Week 6 matchup against the Broncos, contributing primarily on passing downs.

  • Jacob Monk G | GB

    Packers' Jacob Monk: Designated to return

    Monk (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    The second-year pro from Duke missed Green Bay's first four games this season due to a hamstring injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return to the field. Monk now has 21 days to be added to the Packers' active roster before reverting to IR, and he'll likely play a reserve role on the offensive line this season.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Returns to practice Monday

    The Packers designated Watson (knee) for return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    This opens Watson's 21-day practice window for activation, so the Packers will have a maximum of three weeks to see how Watson looks in his return to the field after he suffered a torn ACL in Week 18 of last season. Once Watson does return, it will further convolute the Packers' wideout room. Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden, Savion Williams and Malik Heath have all been seeing enough playing time to make this a messy situation to parse through for fantasy purposes, and that doesn't even include Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot), who is on injured reserve. Reed was given a recovery timetable of 6-to-8 weeks after he was injured Week 2.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Two catches versus Bills

    Douglas caught two of his three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.

    Douglas, who was on the field for 17 of a possible 60 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, was out-snapped in the contest by fellow WRs Kayshon Boutte (37), Mack Hollins (35) and Stefon Diggs (30). With just seven catches for 30 yards and a TD on 16 targets in five games, Douglas is off the lineup radar in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Not targeted in Week 5

    Hollins, who was on the field for 35 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, was not targeted in the contest.

    Prior to Sunday's zero-target outing, Hollins had scored in two of his previous three games, but with a total of nine targets through five contests overall, the wideout profiles as a hit-or-miss option in TD-friendly formats.

  • Kayshon Boutte WR | HOU

    Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Three catches Sunday

    Boutte, who logged 37 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught all three of his three targets in the contest for 43 yards.

    Boutte began the regular season with a six-catch, 103-yard effort, but he was targeted just once Week 2 and has logged three targets in each of his last three outings since then. Meanwhile, Stefon Diggs has solidified himself as the Patriots' WR1 over the past two games, a context that limits Boutte's lineup viability to deeper fantasy formats.

  • Jimmy Horn Jr. WR | CLE

    Panthers' Jimmy Horn: Solid performance in NFL debut

    Horn caught two of three targets for 21 yards and rushed twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins.

    After being a healthy scratch in each of the Panthers' first four games this year, Horn played an important role in Sunday's win. The rookie from Colorado showcased his explosiveness and made a key 17-yard catch on fourth down to help set up Carolina's go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. Although Jalen Coker (quadriceps) will likely return from injury soon, Horn's role on the Panthers' offense could continue to grow in the Week 6 matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Disappoints in Week 5

    Tremble caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins.

    The 25-year-old drew his second consecutive start in Week 5 while Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) remained sidelined, but he wasn't a major part of the Panthers' offensive game plan. Tremble was targeted just twice despite playing 49 offensive snaps, while reserve tight end Mitchell Evans found the end zone for the second game in a row. With Xavier Legette returning from injury and Jimmy Horn making his NFL debut, Tremble likely wasn't needed as much in the passing game. He may draw another start in the Week 6 matchup against the Cowboys if Sanders is unable to play.
