Fields hauled in both of his targets for 20 yards during the Giants' 27-27 tie with the Commanders on Sunday.

The rookie third-rounder has caught exactly two passes in each of the first five games of his NFL career, and he's turned that into 146 yards and a touchdown (on 17 targets). Fields' 64 offensive snaps were second-most on the Giants on Sunday, but he's well below both Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely on Jameis Winston's priority target list in the passing game. The Giants will stay home for Week 6 against the Saints on Oct. 18.

Sherfield reverted to Buffalo's practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Sherfield did not draw any targets in his seven offensive snaps during Monday's 37-34 overtime win against the Rams, but he did record two tackles (one solo) on special teams. Whether he's elevated again in Week 6 might depend on the availability of DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer, who both missed Monday's action due to shoulder injuries.

Cameron caught three of six targets for 43 yards during the Jaguars' 19-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday in London. He also returned one kickoff for 18 yards and added a tackle on special teams.

Cameron opened Sunday's game in style, when he took the first kickoff of the contest 90 yards to the house for a touchdown, but that score ended up being nullified by a holding penalty on the Jaguars. The rookie sixth-rounder still managed to contribute offensively and finished third on the Jaguars in catches, targets and receiving yards, including a 32-yard catch early in the third quarter. Cameron's 22 offensive snaps were fourth-most among Jacksonville wide receivers, but his 6-97-1 receiving line (10 targets) over the last three weeks is noticeably better than Brian Thomas (3-25-1 on six targets) in that same span. The Jaguars will stay in London for a Week 6 AFC South showdown against the Texans on Oct. 18.

Burks caught two passes on five targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Giants.

Burks saw a season-high five targets during Sunday's game, which was second-most on the Commanders behind Chig Okonkwo (six). Burks only logged two catches, but his season was a 13-yard pass late in overtime that set the Commanders up well within field-goal range, only for Jayden Daniels to mismanage the clock to end the game on a tie. Burks has a 5-86-2 receiving line on 10 targets over his last three games, though his scoring floor would take a considerable hit if Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is cleared to play in the Commanders' Week 6 road game against the 49ers on Monday.

Williams hauled in all three of his targets for 31 yards and added a two-yard punt return during the Commanders' 27-27 tie with the Giants on Sunday.

Williams didn't see a target from Jayden Daniels until early in the third quarter, when the duo connected on a 17-yard pass on the first of a five-play drive that ended with a 38-yard rushing touchdown by Daniels. Williams finished third on the Commanders in both receptions and receiving yards behind Terry McLaurin and Chig Okonkwo, and the rookie wideout has a 15-155-1 receiving line on 22 targets through five regular-season games. The Commanders have a tough Week 6 road tilt against the undefeated 49ers on Monday Night Football.

New Orleans cut Palmer from its practice squad Tuesday.

Palmer has been on the Saints' practice squad since early September, but he's now in line to become a free agent again. His last regular-season stint came with the Buccaneers in 2024, when he caught 12 of 22 targets for 172 yards and a touchdown over 15 games while also contributing as a returner.

The Saints waived Rechsteiner (suspension) on Tuesday.

Rechsteiner was five games into a six-game suspension, but he's now on his way out of New Orleans. Provided he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period, he's now on track to become a free agent.

White caught two of four passes for 44 yards during Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Patriots.

With Jalen Nailor (concussion) inactive, White stepped into the WR2 role against New England. White's 37 offensive snaps were second-most among Raiders wide receivers behind Tre Tucker (45), and the former finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Brock Bowers (110) and Ashton Jeanty (50). White opened the regular season on the Raiders' practice squad, but with both Dont'e Thornton (ankle) and Jack Bech (forearm) on injured reserve, White was inked to the 53-man roster in late September after beating out both Dareke Young and rookie sixth-rounder Malik Benson for the WR3 role behind Tucker and Nailor. Week 7 against the Bills on Oct. 18 is a juicy matchup for White and the Raiders pass catchers, seeing as Buffalo's defense has given up the second-most passing yards this season.

Smith-Njigba (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

The Seahawks did not practice Tuesday for a second straight day, and as was the case Monday, Smith-Njigba was estimated as a limited participant. He will have one more day to clear the injury report before Seattle officially reveals his status for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

Bateman caught five of six passes for 62 yards during the Ravens' 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Bateman ended up leading the Ravens in receiving yards while finishing second in catches and targets to Zay Flowers (eight catches on nine targets). Bateman played a crucial role in Baltimore's come-from-behind victory, with the veteran wide receiver logging catches of 11, seven and 20 yards late in the fourth quarter (all for first downs), with the drive ending on a seven-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Huntley to Devontez Walker. Bateman has a 16-233-1 receiving line on 20 targets over his last four games, but his role on offense would likely decrease once rookie third-round wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) returns from injured reserve, which could happen as soon as Week 7 against the Browns on Oct. 18.
