Every NFL team's highest-graded wide receiver ahead of Week 5 (DETROIT LIONS: JOSH REYNOLDS (82.2) - Detroit kicked off Week 4 with a convincing win over Green Bay on Thursday Night Football. Josh Reynolds led the team in receiving yards and each of his catches went for 20-plus yards. Reynolds has 12 catches for 215 yards so far this season, and each one has gained a first down.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-every-nfl-teams-highest-graded-wide-receiver-ahead-of-week-5

NFL QB Index, Week 5: Josh Allen claims No. 1 spot; Dak Prescott trending up (10.  Jared Goff
Jared Goff - 2023 stats: 4 games | 69.5 pct | 1,029 pass yds | 7.9 ypa | 6 pass TD | 3 INT | 12 rush yds | 1 rush TD | 0 fumbles.  A disastrous interception to start the night against Green Bay was the worst of it for Goff, who settled in and got back to where he left off in Week 3. He engineered five scoring drives of 50-plus yards by completing a number of tight-window throws; he also evaded a sack and found rookie tight end Sam LaPorta for a key first down. His best throw of the night found Amon-Ra St. Brown, who was wide open, thanks to excellent route-running, and he had several other excellent passes in the hostile territory of Lambeau Field. In total, it was another good game for a quarterback whose team has put the league on notice.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-week-5-josh-allen-claims-no-1-spot-dak-prescott-trending-up

NFL rookie rankings at Q1 of 2023 season: Multiple representatives for Texans, Lions, Patriots (6.  Sam LaPorta:  Sam LaPorta is the latest stud in a line of Iowa tight ends. He has recorded the most receptions (22) by a tight end in his first four career games in NFL history while also leading all rookies at the position this season in targets (27) and receiving yards (242). LaPorta is a reliable target for Jared Goff as an athletic player with tremendous ball skills.  8.  Brian Branch:  Versatility is Brian Branch’s calling card, and we’ve seen the impact he’s had on the Lions’ defense. On top of his pick-six of Patrick Mahomes in the NFL Kickoff Game, Branch has recorded four passes defensed and 25 tackles, the most among rookie defensive backs going into Week 5. Branch’s instinctive play has him among the early favorites for Defensive Rookie of the Year.  22.  Jahmyr Gibbs:  Jahmyr Gibbs flashed his big-play ability in the Lions’ upset win over the Chiefs in Week 1, but he hasn’t been given the ball on a consistent basis. He has played in more than 50 percent of the Lions’ offensive snaps in only one game: Week 3, when he logged 59 percent after starting in place of an injured David Montgomery. The talent is obvious; whenever he touches the ball, he shows off his explosiveness, body control and reliable catch ability. With 249 scrimmage yards through four games, Gibbs likely moves up in this list if he’s incorporated more into the offense.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-rookie-rankings-at-q1-of-2023-season-multiple-representatives-for-texans-lio
