Jauan Jennings WR | MIN
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Finishes second in receiving Sunday
Jennings caught two of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Browns.
Jennings finished as San Francisco's second leading receiver behind Brandon Aiyuk (4-76-0) after Deebo Samuel (shoulder) was forced out after playing just nine snaps Sunday. Jennings didn't see his snap count rise (35 offensive snaps), as Samuel's role was instead filled by the team's No. 4 option Ray-Ray McCloud (44 offensive snaps). A similar scenario unfolded when Aiyuk had to sit out a game earlier this season, confirming that Jennings is unlikely to move above or below his current slot position this season. So, even if Deebo is forced to miss next Monday's tilt against Minnesota, its safe to say that Jennings' role on offense will remain unchanged.

Zay Jones WR | HOU
Jaguars' Zay Jones: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Jones (knee) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Jones remains day-to-day after missing Week 6 against the Colts. The veteran wideout missed Weeks 3 and 4 but returned for Week 5, only to aggravate the injury. He has eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets this season. Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk have established themselves as Jacksonville's top two wideouts.
-
Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Limited Monday
Olave (toe) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Olave practiced in full last week ahead of Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Texans, when the star wideout turned in a 7-96-0 line on 10 targets. On the short week, Olave could be limited ahead of Thursday's game against the Jaguars, but he's expected to be out there for his normal role.

Brandon Powell WR | MIN
Vikings' Brandon Powell: Three receptions in expanded role
Powell had three receptions for 20 yards on four targets and lost a yard on a carry in Sunday's 19-13 win at Chicago. He also returned three punts for an average of 10.7 yards.
Powell played on a season-high 32 snaps on offense (58 percent of the offense's snaps) as he moved into a third-receiver role with Justin Jefferson on injured reserve. He failed to connect on a key third-down pass from Kirk Cousins that would have been a difficult catch but showed he has Cousins' trust.

Ray-Ray McCloud WR | CHI
49ers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Gets involved as rusher
McCloud caught one of two targets for four yards and had two rushing attempts for 23 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Cleveland.
McCloud saw his role increase over the course of Sunday's loss after Deebo Samuel (shoulder) was forced out of the game due to injury. McCloud did his best impression of the dual-threat superstar, recording his first rushing attempts of the season on a couple of successful designed runs. The veteran return man wound up seeing 44 snaps on offense (71 percent) Sunday, a role he may be asked to serve again if Samuel is unable to suit up for next Monday's tilt against Minnesota.

Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Rings up 43 yards
Bobo recorded 43 yards on two catches (two targets) in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals.
Bobo slotted in as the No. 4 wide receiver for this matchup, but he still managed to post a 33 percent snap share. The undrafted rookie turned in the best day of his career in the losing effort. As long as DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are upright, Bobo won't be a consistent fantasy contributor. However, he's worth keeping an eye on if injuries surface ahead of him on the depth chart.

Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Panthers' Laviska Shenault: Suffers high-ankle sprain
Shenault suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Dolphins, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Shenault played 11 offensive snaps before leaving with the injury. He was unable to return and is likely looking at a multi-week absence. The good news for Shenault is the Panthers have a Week 7 bye. On the season, Shenault has rushed 12 times for 55 yards and secured all seven of his targets for 43 yards. He's also returned five kickoffs for an average of 27.2 yards.
-
Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Hauls in both targets
Berrios secured both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers.
Berrios continues to handle a valuable depth role for the Dolphins behind top wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but aside from Week 4 vs. Buffalo when he found the end zone, that hasn't led to fantasy success. Except in the deepest of formats, he won't be in consideration as a streaming option for Miami's matchup against the Eagles in Week 7.
-
Khadarel Hodge WR | SF
Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Garners one target
Hodge failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.
After Drake London (68), Hodge (29) saw the most snaps among Atlanta's wideouts, though there wasn't much discrepancy between them as Mack Hollins (28), Scotty Miller (28) and Van Jefferson (22) all saw similar playing time. As long as there's this much competition, it'll be difficult for any of the aforementioned pass catchers to garner consistent roles. Hodge has just four receptions (five targets) for 45 yards across six appearances this season.

Tre Tucker WR | LV
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Catches 48-yard deep ball Sunday
Tucker caught both of his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Patriots. He also rushed once for four yards.
Tucker not only logged a season-high 22 offensive snaps, but the speedy rookie also got behind the Patriots secondary on a 48-yard reception to flip the field on a third-down conversion in the second half. Although Tucker has earned just four total targets through the first five games of his NFL career, fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow was hardly involved Sunday with seven snaps of his own, so Tucker's expanded role behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers could stick for the Raiders' road trip to Chicago in Week 7.
