Coleman caught three of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Bengals.

Coleman finished second on the team in targets behind fellow wide receiver Malik Washington (8). Coleman's most significant moment in Week 5 came in the fourth quarter when he reeled in a three-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Malik Willis. Coleman has now reeled in five of 17 targets for 36 yards and a touchdown over five contests this season.

Bernard caught six of nine targets for 90 yards during Sunday's 34-22 win over the Colts.

Bernard left the team in targets while notching six catches and 80 receiving yards, both of which were new career highs. The rookie was operating in a more prominent role with fellow wideout Michael Pittman (foot) on injured reserve, and Roman Wilson suffered a finger injury Sunday, so Bernard may see even more opportunities moving forward. Through five games this season, he has caught 20 of 33 targets for 278 yards and two touchdowns.

Sutton posted two catches (on three targets) for 18 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-17 victory at the Chargers.

Sutton has found the going tough through five games this season, sitting on 11 catches for 104 yards on 25 targets, but his five-yard TD connection Sunday with QB Bo Nix marked the wide receiver's first of the campaign, salvaging his day somewhat from a fantasy perspective. Considering his volume has fallen from 7.6 targets per game in his first two seasons working with Nix to 5.0 in 2026, Sutton doesn't hold much appeal at the moment in the Broncos offense.

Williams caught one of two targets for 16 yards and added a three-yard carry in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns. He also had a 26-yard kickoff return and netted 67 yards on four punt returns.

Williams got the ball in his hands in four different ways but was quiet as a pass catcher after getting behind the defense for a 58-yard touchdown in the Week 4 loss to Chicago. The Jets were once again without wide receivers Adonai Mitchell (finger) and Omar Cooper (ankle) against the Browns, but Cooper will be eligible to return from IR ahead of the team's Week 6 trip to New England.

Doubs caught one of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

Six different Patriots caught at least three passes from Drake Maye as the QB tossed four TDs in total, but Doubs wasn't able to secure a share of the bounty. It was a very disappointing follow-up to his 6-58-2 line from last week given the circumstances, but with his quarterback having apparently regained his swagger, Doubs' own arrow is still pointed up. After getting blanked in his New England debut, Doubs has a 13-219-2 line on 20 targets over the last four games. He'll look to get back in the end zone in a Week 6 tilt against the Jets.

Wilson brought in four of seven targets for 30 yards and completed his only pass attempt for seven yards in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Wilson wasn't able to approach his usual elevated numbers against a Lions defense that had struggled against the pass. The typically busy receiver still finished tied for third in targets and also slotted in third in receptions, but Wilson ultimately generated his second-lowest reception and receiving yardage tallies of 2026. Marvin Harrison was traded to the Texans earlier Sunday, so despite Wilson's quiet afternoon, fantasy managers now know Wilson will have one fewer competitor for targets from Jacoby Brissett moving forward.

Douglas caught four of five targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

The fourth-year wideout put together the first two-TD game of his career, connecting with Drake Maye for a 35-yard strike in the first quarter and an eight-yard toss in the fourth to bookend the Patriots' offensive eruption. The scores were Douglas' first of 2026, and through five games he's produced an otherwise modest 13-147-2 line on 22 targets. With Maye regaining his swagger and New England's WR room depleted by injuries, however, there could be more big performances coming for Douglas. He'll carry plenty of momentum into a Week 6 clash with the Jets.

Noel caught all five of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-3 win over Tennessee.

Noel led the team in catches in the victory, most notably reeling in a nine-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud in the fourth quarter. The wide receiver has now caught 13 of 17 targets for 227 yards and a touchdown over five contests to open the 2026 campaign. With Houston trading for wideout Marvin Harrison on Sunday, it's unclear if Noel will continue to see the same amount of opportunities moving forward.

Cooper caught two of three targets for 71 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Cooper was able to reach paydirt again Sunday, securing a 62-yard touchdown on a deep pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts in the second quarter. The wide receiver has taken advantage of a larger workload in the last two weeks with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) sidelined, reeling in five of 10 targets for 104 yards and three touchdowns in Smith's absence. On the year, Cooper has caught seven of 13 targets for 137 yards and four scores over five contests.

Waddle corralled two of five targets for 19 yards and also had a nine-yard carry during Sunday's 23-17 road win against the Chargers.

Waddle has hit once (8-138-0 on 10 targets in Week 2 against the Jaguars) and otherwise hasn't done much (10-66-1 on 21 targets) in his other four appearances in his first campaign with the Broncos. It didn't help any of Denver's skill-position players that QB Bo Nix's 27 passes went for only 123 yards, and a quick turnaround to face the Seahawks defense Thursday isn't a recipe for Waddle or any of his teammates to turn around their fortunes to begin the 2026 season.
