Tagovailoa completed two of three passes for 34 yards and an interception in relief of Michael Penix (ribs) in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Penix was shaken up after taking a big hit on the final drive of regulation. Tagovailoa came in for one play and completed a 14-yard pass to Bijan Robinson before Penix checked back in and threw an incomplete pass. Penix was unable to continue playing in overtime, so Tua was tasked with the tall order of trying to lead a touchdown drive in less than three minutes after the Ravens chewed up the first 7:03 of OT on a drive that resulted in Baltimore's go-ahead touchdown. Tagovailoa completed a 20-yard pass to Drake London but promptly threw the game-losing interception on the next play. If Penix is unable to play in Week 6 against the Bears, Tagovailoa would get a chance to make his first regular-season start as a member of the Falcons after posting a 44-32 record in 76 regular-season starts with the Dolphins.

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.

Huntley completed 24 of 32 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons.

Making his first start of the season in place of the injured Lamar Jackson (ankle), Huntley failed to lead a touchdown drive in the first half as the Ravens took a 14-9 deficit into the locker room. The backup QB rebounded after halftime, finding Derrick Henry for an 18-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter before leading a game-tying touchdown drive culminating in a seven-yard touchdown pass to Devontez Walker with 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, which was followed by a game-tying two-point conversion from Henry out of the wildcat. The Ravens took the ball to start overtime and drove right down the field again for a 14-play touchdown drive, which Huntley capped it with a one-yard touchdown run. Huntley completed his last 11 passes in the comeback win, but he may not get a chance to extend that streak in Week 6 against the Browns, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Jackson has a "real chance" to return for that AFC North showdown.

Schultz caught three of four targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

Schultz has now caught three or fewer passes while failing to exceed 30 receiving yards in three straight contests. The tight end has garnered just nine targets since Week 2 after he caught 16 of 22 targets for 175 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Schultz may have a tough time getting back on track against the Jaguars' impressive defense in Week 6.

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.

Henry rushed 24 times for 102 yards while catching one of two targets for an 18-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

Henry unsurprisingly worked as the focal point of Baltimore's offense in the absence of Lamar Jackson (ankle). The star running back pulled the Ravens within two points with his 18-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. Baltimore's two-point conversion attempt after that touchdown failed, but Henry took matters into his own hands to convert a game-tying two-point conversion out of the wildcat formation with 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He then tacked on 32 rushing yards on Baltimore's touchdown drive in OT to top the century mark on the ground for the first time since Week 1. Henry has opened his 11th NFL season with a five-game touchdown streak, producing seven rushing touchdowns and one receiving score ahead of a Week 6 trip to Cleveland.

Spears rushed twice for no gain and lost a fumble while catching all nine of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

Spears put the ball on the ground on his first carry of the day in the first quarter, and the fumble was recovered by Texans cornerback Jalen Pitre. The running back only had one more rush on the day, but he was able to make his mark as a pass-catcher, leading the team while reeling in a career-high nine passes. Spears has now turned 17 carries into 65 yards while catching 14 of 16 targets for 68 yards over five contests this season.

Robinson rushed 17 times for 86 yards while catching four of seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Robinson was held without a touchdown after scoring four times over the previous two games, but he managed to top 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time in five games. The star running back was far more effective than backup Brian Robinson, who also had four touchdowns over the previous two games but turned seven carries and one target into just 16 yards against the Ravens. Bijan has racked up 732 scrimmage yards and five total TDs heading into a Week 6 home game against the Bears. Michael Penix (ribs) was hurt late in Sunday night's loss to Baltimore, so it remains to be seen whether Penix or Tua Tagovailoa will start under center for Atlanta against Chicago.
