Smith-Marsette (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The returner fielded two punts and gained one yard before exiting. Smith-Marsette is deep on New York's wide receiver depth chart and has yet to record a catch this season. Darius Slayton and Tyrone Tracy are the next men up on punt and kick return duties, respectively.

London had six receptions (10 targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 win over Carolina.

London followed up last week's 12-154-1 receiving line against the Buccaneers with another positive fantasy performance against another NFC South rival in Week 6. The 2022 first-round pick has now scored a touchdown in four out of his last five contests while averaging 82.6 yards per game over that stretch. Make sure to make space in your starting lineup for London ahead of next Sunday's home matchup against Seattle.

Johnston caught three of his four targets for 22 yards in the 23-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Johnston's longest reception was only eight yards, underscoring what was the 23-year-old's second consecutive disappointing fantasy performance, though he did suffer an ankle injury in the game and missed some action. This was the fourth game in which the Chargers attempted more runs than passes; even though Johnston is one of the team's top passing options, the offense's sheer disinterest in passing the ball will make the 2023 first-round pick an unreliable option most weeks. If there's one glimmer of hope, quarterback Justin Herbert did fling it 34 times Sunday, though the Chargers ultimately took the foot off the pedal while protecting a big lead.

McConkey caught four of his eight targets for 43 yards in the 23-16 victory over the Broncos on Sunday.

McConkey led the team in targets by a wide margin, but quarterback Justin Herbert spread the ball around plenty as nine different players caught a pass in this contest. The rookie second-round pick briefly left the game in the first half due to an injury, but he was able to return relatively quickly. The 22-year-old has at least six targets in all but one game this season, though Los Angeles' run-heavy approach has limited McConkey's weekly fantasy upside.

Smith caught three of four targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

While he didn't see much volume in his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion, Smith made an impact with a 45-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter that sealed the win for the Eagles. The fourth-year wideout has a 24-303-2 line on 32 targets through four contests this season, and he could find pay dirt again in Week 7 versus a Giants team he's had plenty of success against in the past -- in his last five meetings with Philly's NFC East rivals, he has four touchdowns.

Brown caught six of nine targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Seeing his first action since straining a hamstring in the Eagles' season opener, Brown immediately re-established his chemistry with quarterback Jalen Hurts, with the wideout's return highlighted by a 22-yard TD in the second quarter. Brown has a stunning 11-235-2 line on 19 targets in his two games this year, and with Philly's passing game roaring to life, he could pop again in Week 7 against the Giants.

Cooper caught four of six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles.

The continued struggles of quarterback Deshaun Watson dragged down Cooper's numbers, but the veteran wideout still led the Browns in receiving yards despite the fact that he saw his lowest target volume of the year so far. With Cleveland at 1-5 and seemingly headed for a lost season, trade rumors have begun circling around Cooper, and his 19-223-2 line over the last four games is respectable considering his situation. Cooper will try to take advantage of a vulnerable Bengals secondary in Week 7.

Means brought in five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The rookie fifth-round pick had logged only one target and zero catches through the first five games of his NFL career, but Means took advantage of Chris Olave's early exit due to a concussion to record his first stats as a pro. What's more, Means also happened to be on the receiving end of fellow rookie Spencer Rattler's first career touchdown pass, a nifty 10-yard grab just before the halfway point of the second quarter. Despite the surprisingly productive showing, Means' minuscule role to date and the fact it took Olave's absence to allow the former to see meaningful involvement casts doubt on how much carryover there will be in future weeks. However, with New Orleans on a short week before a Week 7 Thursday night home matchup against the Broncos, Means could certainly carry some short-term fantasy value.

Legette caught three of his four targets for 23 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

Legette served as the Panthers' No. 2 wide receiver in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) on Sunday and performed relatively well. Despite a favorable second-half game script that saw Carolina trailing by multiple scores, Legette was targeted just once in that time. The 2024 first-round pick has now recorded 16 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns across his first six games in Carolina, and he's expected to continue serving as the team's No. 2 wide receiver until Thielen returns from injury.

Moore caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

The veteran wideout out-preformed 2023 second-round pick Jonathan Mingo (one catch for one yard) in Sunday's loss, appearing to serve as the Panthers' No. 4 wide receiver. Mingo has disappointed to start his second season in Carolina, so Moore likely will see increased opportunities until Adam Thielen (hamstring) returns from injury.
