Pittman recorded five receptions on seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Titans.

Pittman led the Colts in targets but was overshadowed by a big performance from Josh Downs. Positively, the former did manage a 27-yard catch late in the third quarter -- his third reception of at least 20 yards this season -- that helped set up a field goal to extend the team's lead. Even so, after delivering a minimum of eight catches in Indianapolis' first three games, Pittman has combined to record only six receptions for 67 yards across the last two contests.

Rice caught four of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Vikings.

The rookie wideout was on the other end of an eight-yard TD strike from Patrick Mahomes early in the third quarter to break open a 13-13 halftime tie. It's the second score of Rice's career so far, but the 2023 second-round pick still has yet to reach 60 receiving yards in a game as Mahomes continues to spread the ball around. Rice could hit paydirt again in Week 6 against a Broncos secondary that's already given up six TDs to wide receivers through five games.

Turpin (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Turpin suffered an ankle injury in the first half and he'll now officially remain out for the rest of the contest. The wide receiver was able to reel in a 26-yard touchdown catch while also returning two kicks for 33 yards prior to going down.

Flowers recorded five receptions on 11 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.

Even with the return of both Odell Beckham (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring), Flowers led the team in targets. He now has double-digit looks in three of the first five games in his career, a promising trend for his future production. Flowers' performance was slightly less positive, as he slipped on what would have been a long gain down the field and also dropped a pass, leaving a lot of production on the field. Nevertheless, he managed to top 70 receiving yards for the second time on the campaign.

Hopkins recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 140 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Colts.

Hopkins had his best game as a Titan by any measure, in part benefitting from a relatively pass-heavy game script. He didn't rely solely on volume, however, as he tallied three receptions of at least 20 yards after entering the contest with only two such gains. Hopkins still doesn't have a touchdown on the season, though he's managed to top 60 receiving yards in three of five weeks.

Moore caught three of five targets for 26 yards and added 50 rushing yards on three carries in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Bengals.

The 76 scrimmage yards were a season high for the third-year wideout, and 41 of his rushing yards came on a third-quarter carry on a direct snap after James Conner (knee) had left the game. Should Conner be sidelined in Week 6 against the Rams, Moore could see more work out of the backfield with undrafted rookie Emari Demercado stepping into the starting RB role.

Brown caught four of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Bengals.

While it wasn't an efficient performance -- Arizona quarterback Joshua Dobbs also completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes for the first time this season -- Brown did make a splash with a 25-yard TD catch early in the second quarter. It's his third score in five games, already matching his touchdown total from 2022, and the fourth-year wideout has also seen double-digit targets in three of five contests as Dobbs' favorite downfield option. Brown will look to keep rolling in Week 6 against the Rams.

Wilson had three receptions on seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos.

Wilson nearly matched his yardage total from his previous contest despite seeing half as many targets Sunday. The talented wideout finished second in receiving yards for the Jets, as Breece Hall (22-177-1) and the team's defense did the heavy lifting in the win. Wilson's upside continues to be limited by the loss of his starting quarterback in Week 1, but he remains relevant heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Eagles so long as current starter Zach Wilson continues feeding him the ball.

Olave recorded two receptions on five targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-0 win over the Patriots.

The Saints controlled the game from beginning to end, so Derek Carr took to the air only 26 times. Even given that context, Olave's performance left plenty to be desired, as he was out-targeted and out-produced by Michael Thomas. The only thing that saved Olave's performance was a five-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter. After topping 100 yards twice in his first three games, he has only 16 yards combined across his last two contests.

Irwin caught eight of 10 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Cardinals.

The fifth-year wideout stepped into a bigger role in the Cincy offense with Tee Higgins (ribs) out of action, and it proved to be excellent timing for Irwin as Joe Burrow had his first 300-yard performance of the season. Irwin had only one catch on one target coming into Sunday, so his volume in Week 6 against the Seahawks will be dependent on Higgins' availability.
