Watson (ankle) caught three of four targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals.

The oft-injured Watson returned from a one-game absence to post his highest yardage total of the season, topping his Week 3 output by one yard. His 44-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter came one possession after Watson caught a drive-extending 14-yard pass on fourth-and-2. Green Bay's wide receivers combined for four touchdown catches in Sunday's win, with Jayden Reed scoring one and Romeo Doubs adding two. Watson and Doubs will likely continue playing complementary roles behind Reed against the Texans in Week 7, regardless of Dontayvion Wicks' (shoulder) availability.

Doubs caught three of four targets for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals.

Doubs scored his first touchdown of the season on a 10-yard catch in the second quarter, then added a 20-yard touchdown grab in the third. Back in the Packers' good graces after being suspended by the team for the Week 5 win over the Rams, Doubs will look to build on this performance in a Week 7 home game against the Texans, for which Green Bay may not have depth option Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) in its receiving corps.

Reed caught all six of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals. He added one rush for no gain and an eight-yard punt return.

Reed's five-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter was his fourth total touchdown in four games with Jordan Love under center. The versatile wideout caught a lucky break on a second-quarter punt return, as he lost a fumble but the play was erased by offsetting penalties. Reed hurt his ankle on that play and was deemed questionable to return but managed to play through the injury. This was the first of Love's four starts this season in which Reed failed to record at least 97 yards from scrimmage, and when you factor in the possible lingering impacts of Sunday's ankle injury, Reed's fantasy value is trending down in the short term heading into a Week 7 home game against the Texans.

Johnston exited Sunday's game against the Broncos after suffering an ankle injury.

Prior to hurting his ankle, Johnston caught both of his targets for 14 yards. In his absence, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey, Simi Fehoko and Derius Davis are the Chargers' available options at the wide receiver position.

Following Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Moore is dealing with a rib injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Moore finished up the contest with one catch for three yards. Look for added context regarding the wideout's injury to arrive no later than Wednesday, but if he's out or limited next weekend against the Bengals, Cedric Tillman would be a candidate for added Week 6 snaps.

Harrison was evaluated for a head injury in Sunday's Week 6 game against Green Bay, and he's since been ruled out from returning.

Harrison took a hard hit on an incomplete pass thrown his way in the second quarter and staggered back to the ground following the play. He was subsequently evaluated for a concussion before being ruled out in the third quarter. Harrison didn't catch either of his two targets in the contest, and Michael Wilson will move into the No. 1 receiver role for the Cardinals with the rookie done for the day.

Johnson (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

The veteran wideout was thought to be trending in the right direction entering the weekend, and that optimism has now been validated. With Johnson available to serve in his customary No. 1 role, he'll carry a solid fantasy outlook provided no in-game setbacks. The Panthers could well turn to a pass-heavy approach in a game they enter as home underdogs and in which they face a Falcons offense that appears to be settling into a groove.

Wicks (shoulder) has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's matchup against Arizona.

Wicks was injured in the first half and was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out early in the third quarter. Prior to his exit, the wideout caught one of three targets for nine yards. Malik Heath could get a bit more work on offense with Wicks done for the day.

Wilson is active Sunday against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Wilson, who missed the majority of training camp and the early part of this season with an ankle injury, has been working his way back into the mix in practice over the last few weeks. Now that he's set to make his regular-season debut, the 2024 third-rounder will look to carve out a steady role in a Pittsburgh WR corps that's been seeking quality depth behind top option George Pickens, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.

Meyers (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Steelers.

After logging one limited practice (Friday) during Week 6 prep, Meyers received a questionable designation ahead of the weekend, but his downgrade to doubtful Saturday signaled that he was destined for his first absence of the campaign due to an ankle injury. With Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined for a third consecutive contest, the Raiders' receiving corps will be composed of Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister, Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson on Sunday.
