Samuel is scheduled to undergo an MRI after exiting Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks due to a hamstring injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Samuel sustained the injury with 5:06 remaining in the third quarter, when he was tripped up by a Seattle defender and landed awkwardly while fumbling the football as he fell to the ground. The upcoming MRI will shed more light on the severity of the hamstring issue, but Rapoport notes that the fact that the 49ers ruled Samuel out of Sunday's game immediately is a foreboding sign. If Samuel ends up sitting out Week 6 against the Commanders next Monday, the 49ers would be left with Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins as their healthy options at receiver.

Wilson (finger) is expected to miss a couple of weeks after exiting Sunday's 34-22 win over the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson is still gathering more information about his injury and is seeking a second opinion, so an official timeline for his recovery may not be determined until he decides on a treatment plan. The third-year wideout out of Michigan logged 20 snaps and was unable to haul in his lone target in Sunday's game before leaving the contest just before halftime. After previously moving Michael Pittman (foot) to injured reserve Saturday, Pittsburgh's receiver depth will be further tested with Wilson likely to be sidelined for at least the team's Week 6 game at Tampa Bay.

Chism caught five of six targets for 57 yards and added a two-yard rush during Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

Chism was able to tie tight end Eli Raridon for the team lead in catches, and he set a new career high with 57 receiving yards. The 24-year-old has now reeled in nine of 13 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown over the Patriots' last four contests.

Flowers (foot) caught eight of nine targets for 53 yards and added a 13-yard rush in Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons.

Flowers led the Ravens in catches and targets from backup QB Tyler Huntley while finishing nine receiving yards short of Rashod Bateman's team-leading total as the Ravens escaped with a road win Sunday night despite the absence of starting QB Lamar Jackson (ankle). Jackson reportedly has a chance to return as soon as Week 6 in Cleveland, but Flowers showed he can still be reasonably productive with Huntley throwing him passes. Flowers also took a two-yard sack on a trick play and had a would-be 26-yard catch negated on Baltimore's final drive of regulation because the Ravens instead accepted a 29-yard pass interference penalty which he drew. The speedy wideout sat out Week 2 due to a hamstring injury and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's OT win due to a foot injury, but he should be expected to continue suiting up barring a setback.

Tucker caught four of five targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Patriots.

Tucker finished second on the team in receptions behind star tight end Brock Bowers (eight) while his 41 receiving yards ranked fourth on the day for Las Vegas. The wide receiver has now posted nearly identical production in three straight contests, finishing with exactly four receptions for a little over 40 yards in each game. Through five games this season, Tucker has caught 19 of 27 targets for 274 yards and a touchdown while operating as the Raiders' top option at wide receiver.

London caught seven of 11 targets for 118 yards in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

London has recorded at least 96 receiving yards in three consecutive games since Michael Penix (ribs) made his season debut after missing the first two games of the season due to a knee injury, but Atlanta's top wideout is still searching for his first touchdown of the season. Penix sustained a rib injury late in the fourth quarter, and London had a 20-yard catch in overtime on a pass from Tua Tagovailoa, but Tua's next pass intended for London resulted in a game-losing interception. London should continue to lead Atlanta's passing game, regardless of whom the Falcons start under center in Week 6 against the Bears.

Hutchinson caught four of five targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

Hutchinson led the team in receiving yards while his four catches were tied for second with running back Woody Marks. The wide receiver has now reeled in 16 of 31 targets for 231 yards over the first five games of the season. The Texans announced that they traded for wide receiver Marvin Harrison on Sunday, and the addition of Harrison will definitely lower Hutchinson's upside as a fantasy asset moving forward.

Lemon caught five of seven targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Lemon was able to set new career highs in receptions and receiving yards Sunday, finishing second on the team in targets behind fellow wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (8). The rookie is slowly coming into his own with Philadelphia, and he's had an opportunity to operate in a more prominent role with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) sidelined for the last two games. Lemon has now caught 15 of 22 targets for 108 yards over the first five contests of the 2026 campaign.

Wicks caught five of eight targets for 63 yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Wicks led the team in targets, and he was able to match his season-high five catches in the defeat. The wide receiver also exceeded 60 receiving yards for the third time this season and first time since Week 2. Wicks has now caught 17 of 28 targets for 260 yards and a touchdown over his first five regular-season contests as a member of the Eagles.

Meyers caught two of three targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 19-17 win against the Eagles.

Meyers was limited to 40 or fewer receiving yards for the fourth time this season, and he finished tied with running back Bhayshul Tuten for fourth on the team in targets Sunday. Meyers has solidified himself as the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Parker Washington early in the season, but his production hasn't been that notable. Through five games, Meyers has caught 15 of 18 targets for 202 yards and two touchdowns.
