Kennedy (knee) left Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals on crutches, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.

Kennedy suffered a right knee injury in the second quarter, and he had a brace on it as he departed the stadium Sunday. The wide receiver appears to be set to miss action moving forward, and his absence will mostly impact the team's special-teams unit.

Washington secured six of eight targets for 43 yards, rushed once for 18 yards, returned two kickoffs for 45 yards and ran back one punt for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 31-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Washington led the Dolphins across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, although the middle total was relatively modest on an afternoon in which Malik Willis threw for just 137 yards. Washington's catch total was also a new season high, and he's now upped his reception tally over that of the previous week in four consecutive contests. Washington will remain a relevant asset in deeper PPR formats and as a DFS dart throw in a Week 7 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Warren caught seven of nine targets for 83 yards and added a one-yard touchdown on his only carry in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Steelers.

The second-year tight end led the Colts in catches and receiving yards while tying Keenan Allen for the team lead in targets, and Warren produced Indy's only TD of the game with his goal-line plunge in the second quarter. Warren is seeing strong volume as one of the few pass catchers Daniel Jones can rely on, and through five games he's delivered a 30-213-2 line on 36 targets. Given Jones' lack of options, Warren could be busy again in Week 6 against the winless Titans.

Jones completed 24 of 44 passes for 267 yards without a touchdown or interception and added four rushing yards on three carries in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Steelers.

The Colts' lone TD came on a one-yard plunge by tight end Tyler Warren in the second quarter, and the rest of their points came via five Spencer Shrader field goals as Jones couldn't get the ball into the end zone. Jones still has yet to re-discover the form he displayed prior to the Achilles injury that ended his 2025 campaign, and through five games this season he's managed a weak 3:4 TD:INT and 5.8 YPA, although a depleted WR room is playing a large part in his downturn as well. Jones will try to build some momentum in Week 6 against the winless Titans.

Willis completed 15 of 27 passes for 137 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and added eight carries for 74 yards and another score in the Dolphins' 31-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one and recovering the other.

Willis had a particularly difficult first half through the air, and although he was able to bring up his numbers somewhat in the second half, he still finished with his second-fewest passing yards of the season. Willis connected with Kevin Coleman for a three-yard touchdown just past the midway point of the fourth quarter, but the veteran signal-caller made more of an impact on the ground with a season-high rushing yardage total and his second touchdown of the campaign on the ground. Willis is helping keep the Dolphins competitive on most weeks, so he figures to remain under center for a Week 7 divisional road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Taylor carried the ball 15 times for 45 yards and caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 34-22 loss to Pittsburgh.

The Steelers were able to keep Taylor from hurting them, and most of the star RB's yardage came on a 24-yard pass from Daniel Jones in the second quarter and a 20-yard run in the fourth, the latter of which helped set up the fifth of Spencer Shrader's five field goals on the afternoon. It's the second time in the last three games that Taylor has fallen short of 90 scrimmage yards, as defenses crowd the box and focus on stopping him while daring the Colts' depleted WR room to beat them over the top. Taylor should be able to find a little more success in Week 6 against the winless Titans.

Boston caught three of seven targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets.

Boston's 29-yard touchdown catch with 6:15 left in the fourth quarter gave the Browns a 12-10 lead, but Cleveland failed to hold that advantage. The rookie second-round pick has caught 16 of 29 targets for 330 yards and three touchdowns while exceeding 40 receiving yards in each of his first five NFL outings. KC Concepcion, who was drafted 15 picks ahead of Boston at 24th overall, exited Sunday's loss due to a concussion. Boston could get a larger share of targets from Deshaun Watson if Concepcion doesn't rejoin Cleveland's WR room in Week 6 against the Ravens.

Watson completed 15 of 33 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for 40 yards in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets. He also lost a fumble.

Watson orchestrated a go-ahead touchdown drive in the fourth quarter for the fourth consecutive game, giving the Browns a 12-10 lead with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Boston with 6:15 remaining. Cleveland's defense held up to win the previous three games, but that streak was snapped here, as the Jets scored a go-ahead touchdown with 3:01 remaining while the Browns failed to score on their final three drives, the last of which ended with a Watson fumble on fourth down. Watson and the Browns will take a 3-2 record into a key Week 6 home game against the Ravens.

Robinson caught six of seven targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

The 53 yards led the Titans on the afternoon, while the target and catch volume led the team's wide receivers, although running back Tyjae Spears posted a 9-28-0 line on nine targets. Robinson's strength on short routes out of the slot is matching well with Cam Ward's reluctance to stretch the field, and through five games for Tennessee the veteran wideout has a 22-176-2 line on 30 targets. He'll look to keep stacking PPR value in a Week 6 clash with the Colts.

Fannin caught one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets.

Fannin was neutralized by New York's defense in rainy conditions at MetLife Stadium. The 2025 third-round pick's sophomore season is off to an inconsistent start, as Fannin has failed to exceed 27 yards on three occasions while recording at least 51 yards on two occasions. He had scored three times during a brief two-game touchdown streak that was snapped in Sunday's dud. Fannin will try to get back on track in Week 6 against the Ravens.
