  • Zach Pascal WR | NYG

    Colts' Zach Pascal: Hauls in two passes during loss

    Pascal corralled both of his targets for 15 receiving yards during Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns.

    The 25-year-old paced Indianapolis with 58 receiving yards during a 19-11 win over the Bears in Week 4, but he established a new season low in yards Sunday despite playing 91 percent of the offensive snaps. Pascal proved during 2019 that he is capable of breaking big plays, as evidenced by his five touchdowns and 14.8 yards-per-catch average. Thus far in 2020, however, he's only once had more than four targets in a game, scoring one total TD.

  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Titans' A.J. Brown: Returning from two-game absence

    Brown (knee) is listed as active Tuesday versus the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Brown opened the season by suffering a bone bruise in his knee Week 1, missing the Titans' next two games. Then, COVID-19 hit the team and forced the NFL to reschedule its Week 4 showdown against the Steelers to Week 7. The extra time afforded Brown may have helped him get back to full health, and he'll reenter a receiving corps without Corey Davis and Adam Humphries, both of whom are on the reserve/COVID-19 list. As a result, Brown may hit the ground running against a Buffalo defense that has allowed 165.5 yards receiving per game to WR this season.

  • Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Expected to start Tuesday

    Westbrook-Ikhine is expected to start at wide receiver Tuesday against the Bills because Corey Davis and Adam Humphries remain on the reserve/COVID list, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

    Westbrook-Ikhine is slated to be the No. 3 wideout behind A.J. Brown (knee), who is expected to play, and Kalif Raymond. Over two games this season, Westbrook-Ikhine has played 18 offensive snaps and been targeted twice, failing to haul in either one.

  • Kalija Lipscomb: Lands practice squad contract

    The Packers signed Lipscomb to the practice squad Tuesday.

    The undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt couldn't make the final roster in Kansas City and was cut following training camp. The Packers will give him a chance to prove himself. The 23-year-old had an excellent junior season with an 87-916-9 line while adding 14 carries for 75 yards and a score, but his production dropped off in his senior year with a 47-511-3 line.

  • Cardinals' KeeSean Johnson: Secures short catch Week 5

    Johnson gathered in his only target for five yards during Sunday's 30-10 road victory against the Jets.

    Johnson's sole offensive look occurred just before the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter, and he got on the field for just five of the Cardinals' 75 plays on offense. On a positive note, he's impacted the box score in both of his appearances this season, so an injury on the depth chart in front of him may result in some targets for the second-year pro.

  • Cardinals' Trent Sherfield: Records first catch of season

    Sherfield caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 30-10 road win versus the Jets.

    Sherfield logged a season-high nine snaps on offense and 13 on special teams on his way to his first target (and reception) of the campaign. Still, he rang in fifth in offensive snap share among Cardinals wide receivers, exhibiting his standing with the unit.

  • Cardinals' Andy Isabella: Has another catch of 20-plus yards

    Isabella reeled in two of three targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 30-10 road victory against the Jets.

    Isabella's long reception went for 24 yards, which was the sixth-longest play for the Cardinals on the day. After getting blanked in the season opener, he's averaged exactly three targets per game, with three of them resulting in 20 or more yards. Aside from those grabs, though, Isabella has managed 37 yards from scrimmage on eight touches. Considering his hit-or-miss status, it's difficult to trust in him for output on a weekly basis.

  • Tyron Johnson WR | DAL

    Chargers' Tyron Johnson: Accounts for seven yards in loss

    Johnson carried once for seven yards and didn't draw any targets Monday in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.

    Johnson turned his lone target in the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers into a 53-yard touchdown, but he didn't garner any looks from quarterback Justin Herbert across his five offensive snaps. The Chargers did, however, call his number on a run play on the team's first offensive snap of the night, with Johnson nearly turning it into a first down. Los Angeles should continue to make occasional use of Johnson's high-end speed on deep shots and gadget plays, but he probably won't see enough volume week to week to make for a reliable fantasy option.

  • Saints' Marquez Callaway: Season-best showing

    Callaway brought in four of six targets for 34 yards in Monday night's 30-27 overtime win against the Chargers.

    With both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Deonte Harris (hamstring) unavailable, Callaway had a season-best performance. Thomas should be back for Week 6 however, and Callaway's value will likely take a nosedive when that happens.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Big gain on lone target

    Dulin reeled in his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns.

    Dulin only took seven snaps on offense, but he provided the Colts with one of their biggest plays of the day in the second quarter. The wideout should continue to be active week in and week out due to his contributions on special teams, but Dulin is unlikely to be featured often in three-receiver sets.
