Ferguson caught seven of nine targets for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-22 win over the Jets.

Dak Prescott continues to lean heavily on the tight end while CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is sidelined. Ferguson was on the other end of two of the QB's four TD passes on the afternoon, hitting paydirt on a 26-yard strike and a one-yard toss in the second quarter as the Cowboys built a 23-3 lead before halftime. Over three games since Lamb went down, Ferguson has compiled a 27-171-3 line on 30 targets, and his seven receptions Sunday were a team high. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 6 against the Panthers.

Chase recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

Chase and the entire Bengals' offense got off to a slow start, as he had only four catches on eight targets for 31 yards at halftime. That changed quickly in the final two quarters, as Chase took his two targets for 15- and 64-yard touchdowns. The latter was particularly impressive, as he beat Amik Robertson on a double move to get wide open behind the defense. Chase's weekly outlook is hurt by the subpar play of Jake Browning, though Chase is talented enough to overcome the poor offensive environment and showcased that ability in Sunday's loss.

Pickens caught two of four targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-22 win over the Jets.

The game was more lopsided than the final score might suggest -- Dallas took a 30-6 lead into the fourth quarter -- and Pickens wasn't needed for much volume as a result. He made his few looks count, however, burning Sauce Gardner for a 43-yard TD in the third quarter. Since CeeDee Lamb (ankle) got hurt early in Week 3, Pickens has erupted for a 15-259-4 line on 24 targets as Dak Prescott's most dangerous downfield threat. Whether he's able to continue that hot streak in Week 6 against the Panthers may depend largely on Lamb's health.

Goedert brought in three of nine targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Goedert was surprisingly second on the Eagles in targets, but he had the third-fewest receiving yards during an inefficient afternoon against a tough Denver defense. Nevertheless, Goedert got into the end zone for the third time in the last two games on a two-yard catch just past the halfway point of the second quarter. Goedert has all four of his touchdowns this season in the last three games, and although he's averaging only 8.9 yards per reception, he remains an intriguing option at his position for a favorable road Week 6 matchup against the Giants on Thursday night.

Croskey-Merritt rushed 14 times for 111 yards, two touchdowns and a fumble lost while catching both of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

Croskey-Merritt finally broke out of the backfield committee that was holding him back in fantasy with a dominating two-touchdown performance against the Chargers. The seventh-round rookie commanded 14 of Washington's 20 running-back carries Sunday, eclipsing a personal high of 10 set back in his initial breakout game in Week 1. One would assume that the 150-yard, multi-score showing should cement the starting job for the Arizona product moving forward. A preseason darling heading into drafts, Croskey-Merritt's managers can officially fire up the hype train heading into a soft matchup against the Bears next Monday.

Johnson caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.

The tight end produced his worst numbers of 2025, and while the returns of Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau from knee injuries didn't cut into Johnson's workload at all -- he was on the field for 56 offensive snaps (85 percent) -- Spencer Rattler and the Saints' offense did make an effort to attack downfield more than they had in the first month of the year. That change may have had more to do with the quality of the Giants' secondary than it did any growth in Rattler's game, but the window for Johnson to be a reliable fantasy option may be closing rapidly. He'll try to bounce back in Week 6 against the Patriots.

Grupe went 4-for-6 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.

Grupe made field goals from 28, 53, 29 and 28 yards in the victory, but he also missed a 52-yard attempt and a 46-yarder as well. The kicker has now gone 10-for-15 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making all eight of his PATs over five games this year.

St. Brown recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 100 yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Bengals.

St. Brown continued his excellent start to the season, leading the Lions in all receiving stats. He saw the majority of his volume in the first half, but his longest catch of the day was a 26-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. The only shortcoming was that St. Brown failed to find the end zone for the first time since Week 1, but he balanced that out by recording his second 100-yard receiving game of the campaign.

McLaughlin hit all three field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Seahawks.

The kicker made all three of his field-goal attempts from between 30 and 39 yards. McLaughlin missed a field goal in each of the first three games of the season and an extra point in Week 1, though he has not missed now in two weeks. With the high-scoring Bucs, he should see plenty of opportunities moving forward.

Shaheed caught four of five targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.

Most of that production came on a single play -- an 87-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter that Shaheed took to the house. The fourth-year wideout hadn't exceeded 52 receiving yards in a game this year prior to Sunday, and second-year QB Spencer Rattler may not be able to find his deep threat so easily against more competent secondaries, but it was still an encouraging sign for Shaheed and the Saints' aerial attack. He'll look for another big play or two in Week 6 against the Patriots.
