Lazard (personal) did not travel to London with the Jets on Monday.

Lazard is dealing with a personal matter, and his status for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos is now in question. The wide receiver has not been ruled out for the game, and he could still play if he travels to London later in the week. If he is ultimately forced to miss Week 6, Tyler Johnson would stand to see an increase in workload at wide receiver versus Denver.

Hill logged six carries for minus-1 yard and completed his lone passing attempt for 19 yards during Sunday's 26-14 victory versus the Giants.

Hill figured back into his role as a rushing quarterback and Swiss Army knife on offense during his first game back since suffering a torn ACL in Week 13 of the 2024 season. While he played only nine offensive snaps, the 35-year-old was featured nearly every time he got on the field, including multiple looks in short-yardage and third-down situations. Hill played at least 40 percent of offensive snaps in six of the eight regular-season games that he played last year, and he averaged 7.8 touches for 58.2 yards per contest in 2024. As he continues to ramp up his playing time, he should carry some value as a boom-or-bust option as a TE2 or FLEX play in most fantasy leagues, especially non-PPR formats. It will be worth monitoring how much, or if, his playing time increases during New Orleans' Week 6 matchup versus New England.

Sainristil finished Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers with nine tackles (seven solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception.

Sainristil logged seven of his stops on defense and two on special teams. He also came up with a huge pickoff midway through the fourth quarter, grabbing a Justin Herbert pass at Washington's one-yard line to preserve the Commanders' 10-point lead. It was the second straight game with an interception for Sainristil, whose two pickoffs through two games have already matched the amount he tallied across 17 regular-season contests last year.

James recorded three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Washington.

James was rather quiet in Week 5, compiling a season-low three takedowns in the defeat. The safety was limited by a hip injury at practice ahead of the contest, and he'll look to get back on track Sunday in Miami. James has now registered 37 total tackles (24 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed over five games this season.

Henley recorded eight total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

Henley remained rather productive in Week 5, reaching at least eight takedowns for the fourth time this season. The linebacker has cooled off a little since a red-hot start to the year, but he has still compiled 39 total tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over five games.

Dye recorded 11 total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Washington.

Dye led the team in takedowns in Week 5, reaching double-digit tackles for the second straight week, while the seven solo stops were a season high. Through five contests this year, the linebacker has now compiled 36 total tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Strange is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Chiefs due to a hip injury, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Strange made one catch for 22 yards in the first half, good for second on the team. The severity of the injury is unclear, though his absence would leave a significant void in the Jacksonville offense if he cannot return. Strange was spotted on the sideline without a helmet to start the third quarter.

Fitzpatrick tallied nine tackles (six solo) and one interception during Miami's 27-24 loss to Carolina on Sunday.

Fitzpatrick played every single defensive snap for a fifth straight game, and his nine tackles were second most on the Dolphins behind Jordyn Brooks (13). Fitzpatrick made his impact felt early in the second quarter, when he picked off a pass from Bryce Young that sailed over the outstretched arms of Xavier Legette, and that turnover ultimately led to a four-yard touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa to Darren Waller five plays later. It was Fitzpatrick's first interception since Week 16 of the 2024 regular season and the 21st of his eight-year NFL career. The 2018 first-rounder has logged at least five combined tackles in four of the first five games of the regular season.

Brooks registered 13 tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

For a second straight week, Brooks registered double-digit tackles while leading the Dolphins in that category. The 2020 first-rounder has recorded at least 14 combined tackles in three of the first five games of the regular season, and his 57 tackles leads the NFL. He'll look to add to his total in Week 6 against a Chargers team that will be without rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) and potentially, multiple starters on the offensive line.

Conklin caught two of his three targets for 30 yards in the 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Conklin played dramatically fewer snaps (20) than rookie Oronde Gadsden (34), but Conklin at least capitalized on the few looks which went his way. The Chargers are dealing with numerous injuries to the offensive line, which is forcing the tight ends to block more than they typically do. The issue, which won't be resolved in the near future, is impacting the fantasy value of the entire position group.
