What happened: The NFL opened fan voting for the Pepsi Rookie of the Week for Week 5. The four-team ballot spans the Buccaneers, Jets, 49ers and Steelers.

Why it matters: The weekly award tracks first-year production during the 2026 regular season. The winner is decided by fan vote.

What to watch: Voting closes before the league announces the Week 5 winner. That winner joins the season's earlier honorees.
