Impact Zylstra was promoted to the active roster with T.J. Hockenson (knee) listed as questionable to play, but he ended up only seeing the field on special teams.

NFL Week 5 Top Plays: Chargers outscore Browns, Bills dominate Chiefs
The Chargers outscored the Browns, the Cardinals stayed perfect, and the Bills dominated in K.C. Check out Sunday's highlights.OCTOBER 11, 2021
Austin Seibert - Drills three field goals Seibert made all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Seibert easily had his most productive game as a Lion, nailing two field goals from within 40 yards and another from 52. Detroit kickers previously averaged one field-goal attempt through the first four games of the season. Seibert will remain a risky start in Week 6 against the Bengals.
OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Khadarel Hodge - Snags go-ahead two-point conversion Hodge caught one of five targets for 17 yards plus one two-point conversion during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Hodge wasn't able to do much with the bump in targets he saw with Quintez Cephus (shoulder) sidelined, but he made up for it with a reception on a go-ahead two-point conversion with under a minute remaining. If Cephus misses time and Tyrell Williams (concussion) remains sidelined, Hodge could be a bigger part of the rotation in Week 6 against the Bengals.
OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Trinity Benson - Held without catch Benson was targeted twice but did not record a catch during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Averaging over three targets per game entering the week, Benson wasn't able to get anything going despite seeing extra run in the absence of Quintez Cephus (shoulder). Should Tyrell Williams (concussion) remain sidelined in Week 6 against the Bengals, Benson could continue to see an uptick in playing time.
OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kalif Raymond - Blanked by Vikings Raymond saw two targets but did not have a catch during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Raymond's biggest contribution came on a punt return, and he otherwise watched Amon-Ra St. Brown rack up seven catches with Quintez Cephus (shoulder) sidelined. While Cephus seems set to miss time, Tyrell Williams (concussion) is eligible to return from IR in Week 6 against the Bengals. However, his possible absence could allow Raymond, who averaged 5.5 targets entering the game, to approach the season-high 10 targets he saw in Week 3.

Jared Goff - Struggles in losing effort Goff completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 203 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Goff turned in the worst performance since joining the Lions this season, finishing with new lows in passing yards, completion percentage and yards per attempt. The former first-overall pick has seen his share of ups and downs through five contests, turning in three positive outings while failing to score a touchdown in the other two. Goff isn't currently an option to rely on in most standard fantasy formats heading into a matchup against the Bengals next Sunday.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
T.J. Hockenson - Shut down by Minnesota Hockenson caught two of three targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Minnesota.
Impact With Detroit down its two best offensive linemen, Hockenson seemingly saw increased responsibilities in pass protection at the expense of his receiving production. Even though fantasy managers can't be satisfied with three straight scoreless weeks with less than 50 receiving yards, the return of starting left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) could free Hockenson up to run more routes, and the impending return of Tyrell Williams (concussion) could help open take attention away from Hockenson in the passing game. The third-year tight end will next take aim at the Bengals in Week 6.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Amon-Ra St. Brown - Leads team in receiving St. Brown had seven receptions (eight targets) for 65 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact St. Brown finished the contest leading the Lions in all receiving categories, one week after sharing the team lead in targets. The 2021 fourth-round pick is starting to look like Jared Goff's favorite option at the wideout position. St. Brown should begin to garner interest in deeper PPR formats, and is worth keeping an eye on in shallower leagues in the event this budding relationship between quarterback and receiver continues to grow.
