Palmer tallied three receptions (six targets) for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Browns.

Keenan Allen (hamstring) surprisingly continues to miss time, but it hasn't really helped the fantasy prospects of Palmer who registered his second consecutive game with fewer than four receptions. Palmer had built up a bit of preseason hype after emerging as the team's No. 3 wideout during training camp, but he's been an inconsistent disappointment for a team that typically passes the ball plenty. A difficult matchup against the Broncos secondary is up next for Palmer and company.

Dotson (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

The Commanders seemed to go through a light practice or walkthrough, but Dotson remained on the side and worked with team trainers, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Dotson hasn't logged any noticeable on-field work since he left a Week 4 loss at Dallas, the result of a hamstring injury that coach Ron Rivera said at the time would keep the rookie first-rounder sidelined one or two games. With just one practice to go this week, Dotson doesn't appear to be in a great spot ahead of Thursday's game in Chicago.

Adams' shove of a credentialed worker after Monday night's loss to Kansas City is being reviewed by the NFL, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

Adams issued an apology after Monday's loss via his official Twitter account, but it's possible that the league's investigation into the incident could result in a fine or suspension. The star wideout recorded two long touchdowns on three catches (seven targets) for 124 yards Monday, continuing what has been another outstanding season for the 29-year-old.

Hollins failed to haul in any of his four targets in Monday's 30-29 loss to Kansas City.

Hollins was held without a catch as Hunter Renfrow returned from a two-game absence, but it wasn't due to a lack of opportunity as the former accrued over 100 air yards on four targets while playing 61 of the Raiders' 64 offensive snaps. Drops were an issue for Hollins, while Davante Adams stole the spotlight with three receptions for 124 yards and two scores. Hollins will look to bounce back against the Texans after Las Vegas' bye in Week 6.

Renfrow recorded four catches on four targets for 39 yards in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Renfrow returned from a two-game absence caused by a concussion. While his stat line doesn't jump out. the Raiders' passing attack largely fell flat aside from a few long touchdowns to Davante Adams. As a result, Renfrow finished second on the team in receptions, and he could be in for a significant role in Week 7 if Darren Waller (hamstring) can't get healthy during the team's bye week.

Smith-Schuster recorded three receptions on eight targets for 33 yards in Monday's 30-29 win over the Raiders.

Smith-Schuster played through a hamstring injury that popped up during the week, potentially hampering his performance. He tied for the team lead with eight targets, but he managed only 4.1 yards per target. While his output was disappointing, Smith-Schuster has seen exactly eight targets in four of five games this season, meaning he has a significant role in one of the most explosive offenses in the league.

Smith hauled in one of his four targets for 10 yards on 52 offensive snaps during Sunday's 39-32 win against the Seahawks.

Smith saw the second most playing time amongst the Saints' banged-up corps of wide receivers in Week 5, as starters Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) were both ruled inactive and Chris Olave suffered a concussion in the third quarter. As a result, Smith played exclusively on offense for the first time this season while lining up alongside Marquez Callaway (56 offensive snaps); however, Smith did not record a catch until his final target in the fourth quarter, hauling in a 10-yard pass to convert a crucial third down on New Orleans' final offensive drive. The 26-year-old also had a 12-yard reception wiped out by a hands-to-the-face penalty on left tackle James Hurst. Smith will continue to see increased usage if the Saints' starting wideouts remain sidelined in Week 6.

Callaway caught two of his three targets for five yards and returned two punts for 25 yards during Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks.

With Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) both inactive Sunday, Callaway wound up playing the most offensive snaps (56) of any Saints wideout, as Chris Olave was forced out with a concussion in the third quarter. However, the 24-year-old Callaway made his biggest impact on special teams after stepping in for primary punt returner Deonte Harty, who exited early with a turf toe injury. Callaway fielded five punts, including three fair catches, and had a 21-yard return in the third quarter. The 6-foot-2 pass catcher could stand to see increased usage in New Orleans' banged-up receiving corps moving forward, though the team will likely continue to lean into its running game with Alvin Kamara, Taysom Hill and Mark Ingram.

Valdes-Scantling recorded six receptions on eight targets for 90 yards in Monday's 30-29 win over the Raiders.

While overshadowed by Travis Kelce's four-touchdown performance, Valdes-Scantling delivered his best game as a Chief. His performance was highlighted by three catches of more than 15 yards, and he delivered a pair of key receptions on third down to keep drives alive. Valdes-Scantling has often served as a deep threat throughout his career, but he's shown the ability to produce on volume early in his tenure in Kansas City and now has at least seven targets in three of his last four games.

Adams recorded three receptions on seven targets for 124 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Adams was limited from a volume perspective, but he made his receptions count by delivering scores of 58 and 48 yards. Even with the positive performance, he could have produced even more. Adams drew two pass interference calls deep down the field, had a lengthy reception overturned on review, ans collided with Hunter Renfrow on another potential long reception in the closing seconds of the game. It's easy to overlook the missed opportunities however, as Adams has topped 100 receiving yards in three of five games this season and has five total touchdowns.
