CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Five grabs against Rams
Lamb caught five of eight targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Rams.
The Dallas passing game never really needed to get going in this one, but Lamb was on the other end of exactly half of Cooper Rush's attempts and completions. It was still Lamb's weakest production in any of Rush's four starts, and the third-year wideout will likely need to be a lot more productive in what has shaped up to be a huge Week 6 matchup against the Eagles.

Shi Smith WR | KC
Panthers' Shi Smith: Leads Carolina in receiving
Smith caught four of five targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.
The second-year slot receiver put together his best performance of the year while leading the Panthers in receiving yards. Smith had only four catches on the season coming into Week 5, as there hasn't been much volume to go around in a struggling Carolina offense. If P.J. Walker takes over for an injured Baker Mayfield (ankle) in Week 6 against the Rams, it may not have a big impact on Smith's production.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' DJ Moore: Four grabs in Sunday's loss
Moore caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.
The fifth-year receiver continues to show little chemistry with Baker Mayfield (ankle), as his modest receiving yardage actually represented his best performance of the season, and he's hauled in fewer than half his targets on the year. With Mayfield leaving Sunday's loss late, however, Moore might actually be looking forward to the possibility of having P.J. Walker under center in Week 6 against the Rams -- over Walker's only two NFL starts, Moore has caught 11 of 18 targets for 151 yards.

Dante Pettis WR | BUF
Bears' Dante Pettis: Blanked in defeat
Pettis failed to catch either of his two targets in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Aside from a TD he scored on a busted coverage in Week 1, Pettis has yet to post another reception in the four games since. Although he's been targeted multiple times in the last two games, his lack of production makes him tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

Velus Jones Jr. RB | SEA
Bears' Velus Jones: Scores on first NFL reception
Jones caught a nine-yard touchdown in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
The rookie was targeted once on a shovel pass in the red zone. He also returned a pair of kickoffs for 39 yards. In a low-volume passing attack, Jones will need his role to expand before he can be considered a reliable fantasy option aside from leagues that include return yardage.

Ihmir Smith-Marsette WR | ARI
Bears' Ihmir Smith-Marsette: Fumbles on first catch of season
Smith-Marsette caught one pass for 15 yards in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Facing his former team, Smith-Marsette caught a pass in the last two minutes of the game as Chicago tried to tie the game, but on the play, he fumbled the ball away, which sealed the win for the Vikings. With just three targets this season, he'd need a significantly larger role in the offense to have weekly fantasy value.

Equanimeous St. Brown WR | SF
Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Pair of receptions
St. Brown caught two passes for 24 yards in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
St. Brown matched his season high with two catches, and the 24 yards represented his second-best yardage total of the year. With Justin Fields averaging fewer than 20 passes per game, there won't likely be many upside games for St. Brown.

Deebo Samuel WR | SF
49ers' Deebo Samuel: Finds end zone again Sunday
Samuel caught two of nine targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers. He added 12 rushing yards on two carries.
It was a tough day for Samuel for the most part, but he salvaged it from a fantasy perspective with a four-yard TD grab in the third quarter. The fourth-year wideout has scored three times (two receiving, one rushing) through five games, and he could be poised for much better overall numbers in Week 6 against the Falcons.
-
Brandon Aiyuk WR | SF
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Leading receiver in Week 5 win
Aiyuk caught three of four targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.
Despite the low target volume, Aiyuk led the 49ers in receiving yards on the day, although George Kittle led the team with five receptions and Deebo Samuel boosted his production with a TD. Aiyuk has yet to catch more than five passes or top 63 yards in a game this season, but he's capable of a breakout in Week 6 against the Falcons' erratic secondary.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Efficient underneath
Moore caught seven passes for 68 yards on eight targets against Philadelphia on Sunday. He added two carries for minus-seven yards.
The second-year wideout claimed substantial usage in the Arizona offense after hamstring and knee issues tanked his first four weeks of the 2022 season. Moore and the Cardinals should be able to move the ball in Week 6 when Arizona faces a Seattle defense that seems unable to stop anyone.
