Meyers brought in both of his targets for 12 yards during the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Meyers entered Sunday on the heels of a huge performance on both offense and special teams during the Bengals' Week 4 loss to the Jaguars, when top pass catchers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins sustained injuries. Chase and Higgins were both cleared to play against Miami and didn't face any restrictions in their respective snap counts, so Meyers reverted to a rotational role and was on the field for only 19 of Cincinnati's 65 offensive snaps (29.2 percent). The Bengals will enjoy their Week 6 bye before hitting the road for Week 7 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Ayomanor caught one of two passes for 17 yards during the Titans' 26-3 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also added a tackle on special teams.

It was the fourth time in five games this season that Ayomanor caught one pass, with his lone connection with Cam Ward on Sunday coming late in the fourth quarter. Ayomanor was on the field for 33 of the Titans' 63 offensive snaps (52.4 percent), which was fourth-most among Tennessee wide receivers behind Carnell Tate (48), Wan'Dale Robinson (47) and Calvin Ridley (35). The Titans' 11.6 points per game is lowest in the NFL, so it's hard to put much stock into Ayomanor or any of the team's skill-position players heading into Week 6 against the Colts on Oct. 18.

TeSlaa failed to haul in either of his two targets during the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

It was the second time in five games this season that TeSlaa did not record a catch, but he still logged the third-most offensive snaps among Lions wide receivers, though he was well behind Jameson Williams (59) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (57). TeSlaa has a 9-187-0 receiving line on 19 targets this season, though his scoring ceiling will continue to be quite low as long as Jared Goff has Williams, St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta at his disposal. The Lions will rest up during their Week 6 bye before playing at home in three of their next four games, starting in Week 7 with an NFC North showdown against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Kupp caught two of three passes for 15 yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers.

It was the fourth time in five games this season that Kupp saw three targets or fewer, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba pacing the Seahawks' pass catchers with a 5-102-1 receiving line on eight targets during Sunday's loss. There's no expectation that Kupp will recapture the form he had during his tenure with the Rams, and he figures to be limited to a complementary role in the Seahawks' offense. That said, Smith-Njigba has popped up on each of Seattle's first two estimated practice reports as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. That is worth monitoring ahead of Thursday night's road game against the Broncos, whose defense will likely be without star outside cornerback Pat Surtain (ankle).

Dotson caught two of four passes for 54 yards during the Falcons' 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Dotson was responsible for the Falcons' second-longest play of the game, when he connected with Michael Penix (ribs) on a 36-yard pass late in the second quarter that led to a five-yard touchdown pass from Penix to Kyle Pitts three players later. Dotson finished as the Falcons' second-leading receiver behind Drake London (118), though Dotson's four targets were fourth-most on Atlanta behind London (11), Bijan Robinson (seven) and Pitts (six). Dotson is up to an 8-149-1 receiving line on 18 targets through five regular-season games, although the scoring ceilings for the Falcons pass catchers would be lower if Tua Tagovailoa is under center instead of Penix for Week 6 against the Bears on Oct. 18.

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.
