  • Zavier Scott RB | CHI

    Zavier Scott: Back with practice squad

    Scott reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Scott was elevated to the active roster to operate as an additional depth option behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Packers. Scott didn't log a snap on offense, and he recorded one tackle while playing nine snaps with the special-teams unit. The running back could garner another elevation in Week 6 against the Falcons if Kyle Monangai (toe) remains unavailable.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Eight touches in loss

    Holani rushed four times for seven yards and lost a fumble while reeling in all four of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers.

    Holani was unable to get much going on the ground in Week 5, and he put the ball on the ground twice in the contest, the latter of which resulted in a defensive touchdown for San Francisco with 18 seconds left in the first half. The running back entered the game having dealt with both a knee injury and an injured rib at practice throughout the week, but he was ultimately good to go, and he was estimated to be a full participant on the Seahawks' injury report Monday. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) not expected back in Week 6, Holani will once again operate as a top backup option behind Emanuel Wilson in the backfield against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

  • Charlie Kolar TE | LAC

    Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Bolts' leading receiver in loss

    Kolar reeled in three of four targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss versus the Broncos. He also lost a fumble.

    Kolar was fighting for extra yardage after making a 19-yard grab for a first down in the first quarter when safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) jarred the ball loose, creating a turnover to set up a Denver touchdown. He managed two more catches for 18 yards the rest of the way, which was enough to make him the Chargers' most productive pass catcher in a game where quarterback Justin Herbert only threw for 121 yards. He projects to start as a blocking-first tight end again in a Week 6 tilt against the Chiefs.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Unproductive in loss

    Jeudy hauled in three of seven targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 17-12 loss against the Jets.

    Quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled mightily against a tough Jets defense in Week 5, completing just 15 of his 33 pass attempts for 155 yards and getting sacked eight times. Jeudy's production still managed to lag behind even that baseline, as he averaged fewer than three yards per target Sunday. He'll be hoping to at least keep up the target volume in a Week 6 matchup versus the Ravens.

  • Kayshon Boutte WR | HOU

    Texans' Kayshon Boutte: Three catches in blowout win

    Boutte caught three of five targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

    Boutte finished tied with fellow wide receivers Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel for second on the team in targets, and his 38 receiving yards set a new season high for him. With Houston acquiring Marvin Harrison from the Cardinals on Sunday, it's unclear how the wide receiver room will be organized moving forward. On the season, Boutte has caught 12 of 18 targets for 153 yards over five contests.

  • Tory Horton WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tory Horton: Not targeted in loss

    Horton did not draw any targets during Sunday's 32-29 loss versus the 49ers.

    Horton played just nine offensive snaps in Week 5, the fewest in any game he's suited up for so far this season. Barring an injury ahead of him on the Seahawks' depth chart, he's unlikely to draw enough targets to warrant fantasy consideration in most formats going into a Week 6 tilt against the Broncos.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Two snags in loss

    Ridley caught two of three targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

    Ridley was limited to two or fewer catches for the fifth straight game to open the regular season, and he has yet to exceed 35 receiving yards in a contest this year. The wide receiver has reeled in five of eight targets for 81 yards over five contests this season, and he'll continue to have a rather low floor from a fantasy perspective in Week 6 against the Colts.

  • Spencer Brown OT | BUF

    Bills' Spencer Brown: Dealing with back issue

    Brown (back) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Rams.

    Brown suffered a back injury in the first half of the contest, and his status for the remainder of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Tylan Grable has taken over at right tackle versus Los Angeles.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: One target in blowout loss

    Mayer caught his only target for two yards during Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Mayer went from having 10 targets in the team's Week 4 loss to Kansas City to a season-low one target versus New England. Fellow tight end Brock Bowers (10) recorded double-digit targets for the third straight contest, and the Las Vegas passing attack funnels through him primarily. With a potential quarterback change from Kirk Cousins to Fernando Mendoza on the horizon, Mayer's outlook moving forward is uncertain.

  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: Inefficient in overtime loss

    Robinson handled seven carries for 16 yards and did not catch his only target during Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss versus the Ravens. He also returned two kickoffs for 61 return yards.

    Robinson's seven carries in Week 5 were the fewest he's been given in any game so far this season, and the longest of those rushes only went for four yards. Atlanta's offense still runs through Bijan Robinson, but his backup could still be a desperate, touchdown-dependent flex play in deeper formats in a Week 6 matchup versus the Bears.
