Mingo caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

The Ole Miss product had the opportunity to step up and serve as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver while Adam Thielen (hamstring) was sidelined in Week 6. However, Mingo was out-produced by both Jalen Coker (30 yards) and David Moore (17 yards) in addition to Diontae Johnson (78 yards) and Xavier Legette (23 yards), so it appears he's an afterthought in Carolina's wide receiver corps. Mingo will look to rebound in the Panthers' Week 7 matchup against the Commanders.

Coker caught three of his four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

The rookie served as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) on Sunday. Coker's 30 receiving yards ranked third on the Panthers, finishing behind both Diontae Johnson (78) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (49). Carolina's defense gave up 30-plus points for the third consecutive week, and Coker could continue benefiting from positive game scripts while Thielen remains sidelined. Expect the Holy Cross product to serve as Carolina's third wide receiver again in Week 7, when the Panthers play the Commanders.

Burton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

The Bengals' fifth wide receiver has played on 21 offensive snaps this season and been targeted twice. Burton has one catch for 47 yards and no scores.

Downs brought in seven of nine targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also returned four punts for 67 yards.

Downs' reception, yardage and target totals all set the pace for the Colts on the afternoon, and the second-year wideout also opened the scoring with a 22-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession of the contest. Downs has at least seven catches and Sunday's yardage total in three consecutive games, and he should finally have a chance to play a full game with Anthony Richardson (oblique) in 2024 during a Week 7 home battle against the Dolphins.

Pittman secured three of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Pittman went from being reportedly considered for a stint on injured reserve due to a back injury early in the week to filling his usual No. 1 receiver role Sunday. While his catch and yardage totals left plenty to be desired, Pittman helped salvage the day for fantasy managers with a tough 10-yard touchdown grab just past the midway point of the fourth quarter, a score that proved to be the difference in the game. Pittman will look to record a touchdown for the third consecutive contest when Indianapolis welcomes in the Dolphins in Week 7.

Ridley failed to come up with any of his eight targets and rushed once for nine yards in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Ridley logged a team-high target total but somehow failed to come up with any of the passes thrown his way. The veteran is mired in a forgettable three-game stretch during which he's posted a combined 2-14 line on 14 targets, and Will Levis' failure to develop any consistent rapport with the valued offseason addition could help spur a quarterback change to Mason Rudolph ahead of a Week 7 road matchup against the Bills.

Hopkins brought in four of six targets for 54 yards in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Hopkins' reception and receiving yardage totals, modest as they were, served as team highs on the afternoon for the Titans. The veteran receiver was on the receiving end of well more than half of Will Levis' 95 passing yards, underscoring how lackluster a day it was for Tennessee's air attack. Hopkins now has multiple receptions in three straight games after opening the season with consecutive one-catch efforts, and he could be a beneficiary if there is a quarterback change from Levis to Mason Rudolph.

Wilson brought in two of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 34-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Wilson couldn't truly capitalize on the second-quarter exit of Marvin Harrison due to a concussion, as the former actually saw his fewest targets since Week 2. Wilson's reception and yardage totals were also his second-lowest figures of the season in those categories, but he helped make up for the pedestrian production with his first touchdown since Week 1 on an 18-yard grab coming out of the two-minute warning in the second quarter. If Harrison remains sidelined for a Week 7 Monday night home matchup against the Chargers, Wilson would be in line to serve as the No. 1 wideout in that contest.

Shaheed brought in one of seven targets for 11 yards, rushed once for two yards, returned one kickoff for 25 yards and ran back two punts for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Shaheed and rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler could barely connect during the latter's first taste of NFL action, with the speedy wideout's robust target tally going almost completely for naught. However, Shaheed still found a way to contribute for fantasy managers in leagues that factor in return production, as he put together an impressive return on his kickoff runback and then rattled off a 54-yard punt-return touchdown early in the second quarter for New Orleans' first trip to the end zone on the afternoon. Despite the inefficiency, the fact Rattler often looked Shaheed's way is encouraging, and the duo could therefore be due for more success in a Week 7 Thursday night home battle against the Broncos.

Evans brought in two of six targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

As has often been par for the course in his encounters with arch-nemesis Marshon Lattimore and the Saints, Evans finished the day with lackluster numbers. The veteran wideout also appeared to suffer an injury during the second quarter and even headed to the locker room, per Spencer Urquhart of NOLA.com, but he eventually returned to the game. Evans will aim to bounce back from his second-lowest receiving yardage total of the season when the Buccaneers tangle with the Ravens in a Week 7 home showdown on Monday night, Oct. 21.
