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.

Williams brought in two of four targets for 47 yards and two touchdowns in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Williams made good use of both his receptions by recording his first two touchdowns of the campaign, which came from eight and 39 yards out. The speedy 2022 first-round pick had already managed another first in Week 4 against the Panthers when he eclipsed the century mark, and Williams now has reached another milestone in what has been a reasonably productive start to the season. Williams is now averaging a robust 15.3 yards per reception heading into the Lions' Week 6 bye, and he should continue to play an important downfield role in a divisional showdown with the Packers at Ford Field on Sunday, Oct. 25.

St. Brown secured six of 11 targets for 69 yards and committed two fumbles that remained with Detroit in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

St. Brown fell below his usual lofty standards with his numbers, but the star receiver still finished with team-high reception and target totals, while also slotting in as the runner-up in receiving yards. St. Brown remains as integral a component of the Lions' air attack as ever, as he now has back-to-back 11-target games and has already seen 57 passes come his way overall in the first five contests of the campaign. St. Brown has turned those opportunities into a 37-372-5 line, and he'll be looking to snap a two-game touchdown drought when the Lions return to action in a NFC North home clash against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Williams caught all three of his targets for 91 yards and a touchdown while also adding three kick returns for 71 yards during Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

Williams led the team in receiving yards during the victory, most notably reeling in a 34-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye in the second quarter. The wide receiver has now caught five of 10 targets for 135 yards and a touchdown while also compiling 344 yards as a kick returner over five contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Evans caught seven of 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks. He also caught a successful two-point conversion.

Evans opened the scoring with a two-yard touchdown catch, one play after a drive-extending 13-yard reception on third-and-7. He continues to work as the leader of San Francisco's banged-up passing game, which lost Deebo Samuel (hamstring) in the third quarter. George Kittle, who was playing through an illness, finished a distant second on the team with 24 receiving yards. Evans' two-point conversion extended San Francisco's lead to three points with 11:02 left in the fourth quarter, and both teams tacked on a field goal from there as the 49ers improved to 5-0 heading into a Week 6 home game against the Commanders on MNF.
