McPherson hit his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

The kicker made a 50-yard field goal to put Cincinnati on the board at the end of the first half. McPherson is now 5-for-5 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra points in 2025, though his opportunities have been limited with an offense that lost its quarterback, Joe Burrow (toe), in Week 2.

Rodriguez took five carries for seven yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt (14-111-2) stole the show on offense in Sunday's victory, leaving nothing but scraps for the rest of Washington's backfield committee. Rodriguez still finished second in running back touches ahead of Jeremy McNichols (1-6-0), but neither backup made a fantasy impact behind Croskey-Merritt's huge performance. With his teammate breaking out in impressive fashion, Rodriguez should remain waiver-wire fodder in Week 6 against the Bears.

Murray completed 23 of 31 passes for 220 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans. He added four rushes for 25 yards and a touchdown.

Murray and the Cardinals' offense looked to be in for a big performance, as they put up 21 points within the first 17 minutes of game time. He accounted for one of those scores with a 12-yard rushing touchdown by out-racing the defense to the right sideline. It was an odd performance from there, however, as the Arizona offensive play-calling became passive, and Murray also missed a few plays in the third quarter with a foot injury. The end result was a relatively muted stat line, including his first game this season without a passing score.

Kupp corralled six of nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

Kupp produced his second-best receiving line as a member of the Seahawks while finishing in a tie with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the team lead in targets (nine) Sunday. The 32-year-old Kupp was held out of the end zone for the fifth time in as many games this season, resulting in a useful PPR score and not much else. The former Los Angeles Ram has carved out a decent role as the Seahawks' No. 2 receiver, but he lacks the upside that once made him a must-start option in fantasy. Kupp's upside is capped as a flex option for a Week 6 matchup against the Jaguars.

Ridley recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 131 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.

Ridley entered Sunday's game having recorded only 141 yards combined across his first four games of the season. He finally got on track against the Cardinals, accounting for the Titans' three longest plays from scrimmage with receptions of 47, 38 and 25 yards. His longest two came at particularly opportune times, as he helped set up a touchdown early in the fourth quarter before getting Tennessee into field-goal range to attempt the game-winning kick as time expired. It will still be difficult to consistently trust Ridley given his start to the season, but it was encouraging to see him display some rapport with Cam Ward.

McAtamney made both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints.

The kicker was limited by a Giants offense that struggled after scoring on its first two drives. McAtamney is now 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points since replacing the injured Graham Gano (groin). Gano may take his job back once he's ready to return, but McAtamney can continue to make his case for this job, or another, if he gets a third chance with New York on Thursday night against Philadelphia.

Charbonnet rushed nine times for 36 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to Tampa Bay.

Charbonnet finished with one less carry than Kenneth Walker (10-86-0) in the loss, but it was the former who punched in Seattle's only rushing score of the contest. The 24-year-old Charbonnet received seven fewer carries than the starter in his return from a foot injury in Week 4, but Sunday's near-even split in touches indicates a potential timeshare moving forward. If that trend holds true, then Charbonnet would see a slight bump in value at Walker's expense heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars.

LaPorta recorded five receptions on six targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Bengals.

LaPorta made a quick impact in Sunday's blowout win, logging a 22-yard reception on the third play of the game before capping the drive with an athletic 10-yard catch and run that resulted in a touchdown. His longest gain of the day came early in the third quarter and went for 39 yards -- nearly entirely after the catch. LaPorta entered Sunday's contest having been held under 40 yards in three straight games, so his highest yardage total and first touchdown of the season came at a needed time.

Lutz connected on both field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles.

The kicker nailed a 55-yarder to open the scoring in the first quarter, and he added a 36-yarder to solidify the Denver lead late in the fourth. Lutz, who hit 88 percent of his field goals in 2023 and 91 percent last year, is off to a good start again in 2025, going 6-for-7 on field-goal tries and 13-for-13 on extra-point attempts so far. If Denver's offense improves, his accuracy should become a real asset in fantasy football.

Allen brought in five of nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Washington.

Allen finished as the Chargers' leading receiver in an overall forgettable offensive performance, resulting in middling fantasy numbers for managers Sunday. The veteran starter failed to hit pay dirt for the second week in a row after kicking off the campaign with a three-game scoring streak. Allen is still providing a solid fantasy floor by averaging 8.8 targets/game in his return to the Chargers, making him a safe option for next Sunday's tilt against Miami.
