  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Brings in all eight targets

    Robinson caught all eight of his targets Sunday for 62 yards in a 14-9 loss to Buffalo.

    Robinson was cleared to play after a knee injury had limited him during the practice week, and the 24-year-old put his good health on display with his best receiving line through four games this year. Robinson also lifted his catch rate to 88 percent with the perfect performance. The sophomore wideout's upside is still capped by inconsistent quarterback play, stemming from an underperforming offensive line, and that didn't change with Tyrod Taylor under center Sunday instead of Daniel Jones (neck). That said, Robinson is one of the few skill position players on the Giants who offers some fantasy appeal heading into next week's matchup against the Commanders.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Leads team in receiving yards

    Slayton caught four of six targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Bills.

    Slayton was the Giants' leading receiver Sunday despite finishing third on the team in targets with Tyrod Taylor under center instead of Daniel Jones (neck). The veteran wideout has yet to score a touchdown through six games after scoring just twice across 16 games in 2022. Slayton is still entrenched as a starter for the 1-5 Giants, but his fantasy value will continue to be limited unless the entire offensive unit improves its play, starting with a Week 7 matchup against the Commanders next Sunday.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: Down game ends TD streak

    Davis caught three of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Giants.

    Davis' impressive touchdown streak came to an abrupt halt at four games following Sunday's stinker. The deep threat finished with his lowest yardage total of the season while also coughing up a fumble, barely scraping together a positive score in most fantasy formats. Even with the rough outing, Davis still owns a respectable 24-362-4 receiving line on 30 targets through six weeks. The Bills' No. 2 receiver could be primed for a bounce-back game against the Patriots next Sunday, as Bill Belichick's defenses have historically shaded coverages toward the opposition's No. 1 option.

  • Justyn Ross WR | KC

    Chiefs' Justyn Ross: Held out of box score Thursday

    Ross wasn't targeted during Thursday's 19-8 victory over the Broncos.

    Ross continues to see minimal reps, finishing sixth among receivers Thursday with just 10 offensive snaps (14 percent). The Kansas City staff seems content rolling deep in the wide receiver room with constant rotations, so it seems unlikely anyone not named Travis Kelce will regularly garner enough target share to warrant a look in most fantasy formats at this point, and Ross still seems firmly near the bottom of the pecking order.

  • Skyy Moore WR | GB

    Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Pair of catches Thursday

    Moore hauled in two of his four targets for 22 yards during Thursday's 19-8 victory over Denver.

    Moore has just four catches for 33 yards on eight targets to his name over the last three games, so the second-year wideout doesn't seem to be making much headway in the fantasy realm. There are simply no reliable fantasy wide receivers on the Chiefs on a week-to-week basis with a deep, but rather mediocre, room rotating in, so Moore can be left on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Hits triple digits again

    Diggs finished with 10 receptions and 100 yards off 16 targets in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Giants.

    Diggs stayed red hot with his fourth consecutive game recording at least 100 receiving yards. The 29-year-old has generated 620 yards through six weeks, which is good enough to land him among the top five in receiving yards leaguewide. Diggs wasn't the recipient of either of Josh Allen's late touchdown throws Sunday, but he deserves a pass after showering fantasy managers with four scores over the last two weeks. The star wideout could face double teams in coverage next Sunday as the Patriots try to slow Buffalo's hottest weapon on offense, but Diggs remains a must-start in fantasy.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Lions' Josh Reynolds: Limited volume in win

    Reynolds recorded three receptions on three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers.

    Reynolds earned at least five targets in four of his first five games, though he saw a diminished role and fell into a group of three pass catchers with three targets Sunday. He managed to work efficiently with the opportunity, tallying long receptions of 21 and 20 yards. While Reynolds has established himself as a big-play threat, the return of Jameson Williams and the ongoing involvement of Kalif Raymond make consistent production difficult to bank on moving forward.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Makes most of limited role

    Williams recorded two receptions on three targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers.

    Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta accounted for 26 targets, while no other Detroit receiver saw more than three. Williams was among that group, though he managed to stand out thanks to a long 45-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter. In addition to showing off his deep speed, Williams made an impressive adjustment on the underthrown ball and managed to out-maneuver a defender blanketed on him. He has only six targets across his first two games of the season, though his performance Sunday could earn him a more significant role moving forward.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Racks up 77 yards in win

    Godwin recorded six receptions on seven targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions.

    Godwin finished tied for second on the team with seven targets, but he was by far the most efficient pass catcher and paced the team in yardage. Particularly positive has been his more aggressive usage down the field of late, as he has three receptions of 20 or more yards -- one of which came against the Lions -- in his last two games after tallying only one across his first three contests. Mike Evans has served as Baker Mayfield's top target early on this season, but Godwin now has at least five catches in four of five contests.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Disappoints despite 10 targets

    Evans recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions.

    Evans returned from a hamstring injury after Tampa Bay's bye, an issue that cost him the second half of the team's Week 4 matchup against the Saints. After displaying strong rapport with Baker Mayfield early this season, the duo was off in this matchup, as Evans dropped an open target that hit him in the hands, while a pass that could have gone for a potentially long gain was deflected at the line of scrimmage and resulted in an interception. Though it was a disappointing outcome, Evans remains the top target of Mayfield, as he tallied 10 targets compared to Chris Godwin's seven.
