  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Three snags in win

    Schultz caught three of four targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

    Schultz has now caught three or fewer passes while failing to exceed 30 receiving yards in three straight contests. The tight end has garnered just nine targets since Week 2 after he caught 16 of 22 targets for 175 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Schultz may have a tough time getting back on track against the Jaguars' impressive defense in Week 6.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Eight catches from Huntley in OT win

    Flowers (foot) caught eight of nine targets for 53 yards and added a 13-yard rush in Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons.

    Flowers led the Ravens in catches and targets from backup QB Tyler Huntley while finishing nine receiving yards short of Rashod Bateman's team-leading total as the Ravens escaped with a road win Sunday night despite the absence of starting QB Lamar Jackson (ankle). Jackson reportedly has a chance to return as soon as Week 6 in Cleveland, but Flowers showed he can still be reasonably productive with Huntley throwing him passes. Flowers also took a two-yard sack on a trick play and had a would-be 26-yard catch negated on Baltimore's final drive of regulation because the Ravens instead accepted a 29-yard pass interference penalty which he drew. The speedy wideout sat out Week 2 due to a hamstring injury and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's OT win due to a foot injury, but he should be expected to continue suiting up barring a setback.

  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Four catches in blowout loss

    Tucker caught four of five targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Tucker finished second on the team in receptions behind star tight end Brock Bowers (eight) while his 41 receiving yards ranked fourth on the day for Las Vegas. The wide receiver has now posted nearly identical production in three straight contests, finishing with exactly four receptions for a little over 40 yards in each game. Through five games this season, Tucker has caught 19 of 27 targets for 274 yards and a touchdown while operating as the Raiders' top option at wide receiver.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Team-high 118 yards in OT loss

    London caught seven of 11 targets for 118 yards in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

    London has recorded at least 96 receiving yards in three consecutive games since Michael Penix (ribs) made his season debut after missing the first two games of the season due to a knee injury, but Atlanta's top wideout is still searching for his first touchdown of the season. Penix sustained a rib injury late in the fourth quarter, and London had a 20-yard catch in overtime on a pass from Tua Tagovailoa, but Tua's next pass intended for London resulted in a game-losing interception. London should continue to lead Atlanta's passing game, regardless of whom the Falcons start under center in Week 6 against the Bears.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Over 100 rushing yards with receiving TD

    Henry rushed 24 times for 102 yards while catching one of two targets for an 18-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

    Henry unsurprisingly worked as the focal point of Baltimore's offense in the absence of Lamar Jackson (ankle). The star running back pulled the Ravens within two points with his 18-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. Baltimore's two-point conversion attempt after that touchdown failed, but Henry took matters into his own hands to convert a game-tying two-point conversion out of the wildcat formation with 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He then tacked on 32 rushing yards on Baltimore's touchdown drive in OT to top the century mark on the ground for the first time since Week 1. Henry has opened his 11th NFL season with a five-game touchdown streak, producing seven rushing touchdowns and one receiving score ahead of a Week 6 trip to Cleveland.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Nine catches in defeat

    Spears rushed twice for no gain and lost a fumble while catching all nine of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

    Spears put the ball on the ground on his first carry of the day in the first quarter, and the fumble was recovered by Texans cornerback Jalen Pitre. The running back only had one more rush on the day, but he was able to make his mark as a pass-catcher, leading the team while reeling in a career-high nine passes. Spears has now turned 17 carries into 65 yards while catching 14 of 16 targets for 68 yards over five contests this season.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Posts 118 scrimmage yards in OT loss

    Robinson rushed 17 times for 86 yards while catching four of seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

    Robinson was held without a touchdown after scoring four times over the previous two games, but he managed to top 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time in five games. The star running back was far more effective than backup Brian Robinson, who also had four touchdowns over the previous two games but turned seven carries and one target into just 16 yards against the Ravens. Bijan has racked up 732 scrimmage yards and five total TDs heading into a Week 6 home game against the Bears. Michael Penix (ribs) was hurt late in Sunday night's loss to Baltimore, so it remains to be seen whether Penix or Tua Tagovailoa will start under center for Atlanta against Chicago.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Four catches in win

    Hutchinson caught four of five targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

    Hutchinson led the team in receiving yards while his four catches were tied for second with running back Woody Marks. The wide receiver has now reeled in 16 of 31 targets for 231 yards over the first five games of the season. The Texans announced that they traded for wide receiver Marvin Harrison on Sunday, and the addition of Harrison will definitely lower Hutchinson's upside as a fantasy asset moving forward.

  • Falcons' Michael Penix: Sustains rib injury in OT loss

    Penix (ribs) was listed as questionable to return in overtime of Sunday's game against the Ravens, per Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site, and Penix subsequently didn't return to the 30-23 overtime loss.

    Penix was injured after taking a big hit on Atlanta's final possession of the fourth quarter. He came back into the game after missing one play and threw an incomplete pass to close out regulation, but Penix was unable to return for overtime. Tua Tagovailoa promptly threw an interception on Atlanta's second offensive play of OT to seal the loss for the Falcons after the Ravens scored to begin the extra session. The oft-injured Penix will try to overcome this latest setback before the Falcons host the Bears in Week 6. He completed 19 of 32 passes for 240 yards and one touchdown while rushing twice for eight yards in the loss to the Ravens.

  • C.J. Henderson CB | ATL

    Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Dealing with groin injury

    Henderson (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Ravens, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Henderson is dealing with an apparent groin injury, and his chances to return to the field before the end of Sunday's contest appear to be slim. In his absence, Aveion Terrell, Billy Bowman and Sydney Brown all stand to see an increase in opportunities in the secondary.
