Barner caught three of five targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss versus the 49ers.

Barner easily paced Seattle's tight ends in terms of offensive snaps (58) in Week 5, and his five targets represented his second best mark of the season so far. The majority of his targets continue to come underneath, however, and he's still looking for his first receiving touchdown of the campaign. The Seahawks will travel to take on Denver in Week 6.

Davis rushed twice for eight yards while catching one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns.

Davis remained as a distant No. 2 option in the Jets' backfield Sunday, playing nine offensive snaps in the victory. With Breece Hall (thigh) inactive again, Braelon Allen logged 24 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown while reeling in one of four targets for no gain over 57 offensive snaps in the contest. Davis will continue to have little to no fantasy value in Week 6 against the Patriots, regardless of Hall's availability.

Jennings did not reel in his only target during Sunday's 23-13 win at New Orleans.

Jennings again got the second most snaps at wide receiver for the Vikings (47) in Week 5 with Jordan Addison (hamstring) out, but it only translated to one target on the afternoon. Jennings has failed to draw more than two targets in any game so far this season, and his role could be further diminished after Minnesota's bye in Week 6 if Addison is able to return to action.

Okonkwo caught four of six targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Giants.

Okonkwo had his most productive day of the year, finishing tied for the team lead in receptions with wide receiver Terry McLaurin while his six targets led the way for Washington. The tight end has now caught eight of 13 targets for 81 yards over three contests this season, and he'll look to continue building his chemistry with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels moving forward.

Allgeier rushed three times for seven yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Lions.

Allgeier was on the field for 32 offensive snaps, but he only had five touches in the contest. In comparison, rookie running back Jeremiyah Love turned 12 carries into 22 yards over his 34 offensive snaps in the defeat. Allgeier has rushed 35 times for 119 yards and a touchdown while reeling in all 12 of his targets for 44 yards over five contests this season, and he remains a valuable insurance policy for fantasy managers with Love on their roster.

Helm failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

Helm failed to catch a pass in a regular-season contest for the first time in his NFL career, and the tight end has now garnered two total targets over the last two games. The Titans offense has been far from effective so far in 2026, and Helm has little to no upside from a fantasy perspective.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Martin's (hamstring) status will be evaluated "in these next couple of days," Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Martin opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury that he sustained during training camp in August. Shanahan said Martin is "getting close" to returning to practice, and if he's cleared for field work this week, his participation level will shed light on whether he'll play in Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 19. The 2025 third-rounder logged 11 tackles (eight solo) and one fumble recovery across seven regular-season games during his rookie campaign, which ended on injured reserve due to a concussion.

Washington logged a five-yard carry and caught his lone target for five yards during the Raiders' 45-17 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Ashton Jeanty ended up being cleared to play Sunday after working through ankle and foot injuries during Week 5 prep, so Washington operated in his usual rotational role. He ended playing one five offensive snaps, well behind Jeanty (45) and Dylan Laube (23), so Washington's grip on the RB2 role seems to have weakened. The Raiders will return home for their next two games, starting with a Week 7 tilt against the Bills on Oct. 18.

Hood (concussion) is considered day-to-day ahead of the Giants' matchup with the Saints in Week 6, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Hood suffered a concussion during Sunday's 27-27 overtime tie against the Commanders, and he'll have to clear concussion protocol in order to be available for Week 6. If he is unavailable for the team's contest versus New Orleans, Nic Jones could stand to operate as one of New York's starting cornerbacks.

Head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that Jurgens is in the "finishing stages" of the league's concussion protocol, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The Ravens will have a better sense of Jurgens' status for this Sunday's road game against the Browns during or shortly after Wednesday's practice. He was acquired by Baltmore from Philadelphia on Oct. 7 and is expected to serve as the Ravens' starting center once fully healthy.
