Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Paces pass catchers in win
Hill secured six of nine targets for 69 yards in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Hill led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, demonstrating improved chemistry with Tyler Huntley in his second game playing with the quarterback. The three components of the speedster's receiving line all qualified as his second-highest totals of the season, and Hill also narrowly missed recording his second touchdown of the campaign on a near catch in the left corner of the end zone on which he just missed coming down with two feet inbounds. Hill is likely to work with Huntley for at least one more game when the Dolphins face the Colts on the road on Sunday, Oct. 20 following a Week 6 bye.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Tops 100 yards in OT win
Flowers caught seven of 12 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 41-38 overtime win over the Bengals.
It's the first time in 2024, and the third time in his career, that the second-year wideout has delivered triple-digit receiving yardage. It was also an impressive bounce-back performance from Flowers, who'd managed just a 4-30-0 line on six targets over the prior two games combined. He'll look to build on this performance in Week 6 against the Commanders.

Christian Kirk WR | SF
Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Strong yardage output in win
Kirk brought in all four targets for 88 yards in the Jaguars' 37-34 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Kirk finished with the second-highest receiving yardage total on the afternoon for Jacksonville with a figure that also served as a new season high. The veteran wideout has left a forgettable start to the season firmly in the dust, as he now boasts a 19-228-1 line over his last three games after recording only two receptions for 29 yards over the first two contests of the campaign. Kirk next takes aim at a tough Bears defense in a Week 6 matchup in London.

Diontae Johnson WR | CLE
Panthers' Diontae Johnson: Disappointing numbers in loss
Johnson secured three of six targets for 23 yards in the Panthers' 36-10 loss to the Bears on Sunday. He also rushed twice for six yards.
The chemistry demonstrated by Johnson and Andy Dalton over the previous two games wasn't anywhere to be found Sunday against an aggressive Bears defense. Johnson's pedestrian numbers were almost certainly a byproduct of the matchup, however, and per head coach Dave Canales' postgame comments, it appears the veteran receiver will have a chance to continue working with Dalton in a Week 6 home matchup against the Falcons despite the veteran signal-caller's late-game benching Sunday.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Tops century mark again
McLaurin caught four of eight targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Browns. He added two rushing yards on his only carry.
It's the second time in three games that McLaurin has delivered triple-digit receiving yards, as he continues to click with rookie QB Jayden Daniels. McLaurin has a 23-303-2 line on 36 targets through five contests, putting him on pace for his fifth straight 1,000-yard campaign. In Week 6, he'll take aim at a Ravens secondary that's been surprisingly vulnerable this season and that just surrendered a combined 19-276-4 line to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
-
Mack Hollins WR | NE
Bills' Mack Hollins: Another six-target game
Hollins caught two of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.
Hollins played a larger role in the absence of Khalil Shakir (ankle) and tied Dalton Kincaid for the team lead in targets. The increased attention from Josh Allen didn't translate to meaningful fantasy production for Hollins, and he'll be tough to trust in Week 6 against the stout Jets secondary, even if Shakir remains sidelined.
-
Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Scores long TD on only catch
Coleman caught one of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Houston.
Coleman scored a 49-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but he failed to catch any of his other four targets as Josh Allen completed only nine of 30 pass attempts. Dalton Kincaid and Mack Hollins tied for the team lead with six targets apiece in the absence of top receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle), with Coleman one behind them. Coleman has recorded multiple catches in only two of his first five games, but the rookie second-round pick has two touchdowns heading into a Week 6 road game against the Jets.
-
Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Bears' Keenan Allen: Just three catches again
Allen caught three of six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Panthers.
Allen set a season high in receiving yards, but he has yet to post a breakout performance with the Bears. A two-game absence due to a heel injury contributed to his slow start, so at least Allen appears healthy after suiting up for each of Chicago's last two games. The veteran wide receiver has a nice opportunity to get on track in a Week 6 London matchup against a weak Jacksonville secondary.
-
Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Five catches in Week 5 win
Odunze caught five of six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Panthers.
Odunze tied Keenan Allen for second on the team in targets, but DJ Moore continued to work as the clear leader in Chicago's passing game, turning his team-high eight targets into 105 yards and two touchdowns. Of Odunze's 206 receiving yards through five games, 112 came in a Week 3 outburst while Allen was sidelined by a heel injury. The rookie first-round pick's speed could give Jacksonville's struggling secondary trouble in Week 6, but Odunze has a low floor while battling Moore and Allen for targets.

Alec Pierce WR | IND
Colts' Alec Pierce: Team-high yardage tally in loss
Pierce secured all three targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 37-34 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Pierce put together a signature stat line, one that was almost identical to the three-catch, 125-yard, one-touchdown effort he kicked his season off with against the Texans. The third-year pro came to life late in the contest, recording 24- and 46-yard grabs on a quick three-play drive in the latter portion of the fourth quarter, with the latter catch initially ruled a touchdown before being overturned via replay. However, Pierce made up for it on the next possession, hauling in a 65-yard touchdown grab down the left side of the field with under three minutes remaining. Pierce's production is certainly difficult to trust week to week, but considering he's now achieved 100-yard performances with both Anthony Richardson (hip/oblique) and Joe Flacco as his quarterback, he remains a weekly consideration in deeper leagues and in DFS contests.
