Pittman brought in nine of 14 targets for 109 yards in the Colts' 37-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Pittman led Colts pass catchers in all major receiving categories with numbers that either tied or established new season highs. The dependable fourth-year pro now has recorded at least eight catches in four of his first six games, and following Sunday's prolific output, it's clear he already has plenty of chemistry with Gardner Minshew. Pittman's next opportunity to build on his impressive start to the campaign comes in a tough home matchup versus the Browns in Week 7.

Hill recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 163 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers.

Hill was uncharacteristically quiet to begin the game, as he didn't tally his first reception until late in the first quarter. He was excellent from there, however, highlighted by a deep 41-yard touchdown reception just before halftime. As has been the case for much of the season, he also consistently made big plays, delivering four receptions of more than 20 yards despite a brief exit from the contest due to cramping. Hill has now topped 100 receiving yards in four of six games and has seven touchdowns in the same span.

McLaurin brought in six of 11 targets for 81 yards in the Commanders' 24-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

McLaurin set the pace in all major receiving categories for the Commanders for the afternoon, with his reception and yardage totals serving as his second highest of the season and his target tally a new high-water mark over his first six games. The veteran wideout's overall fantasy ceiling is likely being capped to an extent by any limitations being placed on Sam Howell as he traverses his first full season as a starter, but McLaurin will still take a solid 31-342-1 line into a Week 7 road divisional matchup versus the Giants.

Collins caught four of six targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Saints.

Collins has already surpassed his previous career high of 481 yards with 547 through the first six games of his breakout third NFL season. The 24-year-old wide receiver heads into Houston's Week 7 bye having reached 80 yards in four of six games with 2023 second overall pick C.J. Stroud throwing him the football. Collins' next game will be against the Panthers in Week 8.

London caught nine of 12 targets for 125 yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.

London set season highs in targets, receptions and yards. Over the last two weeks, the second-year wideout has secured 15 passes for 203 yards and appears to be picking up speed after a slow start to the campaign. However, his overall production has still been inconsistent, and he faces a decent pass defense in Tampa Bay next week. As a rookie, London caught six of eight targets for 120 yards during the Falcons' Week 18 win over a Buccaneers squad that was resting most of its regulars.

Pierce exited early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a right shoulder injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Pierce had caught three of his six targets for 25 yards. According to Boyd, Pierce was sporting a big wrap on the shoulder on the sideline once he checked out of the game, making his status one to monitor heading into the Colts' Week 7 matchup with the Browns. Indianapolis will be left with Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, Isaiah McKenzie and Amari Rodgers as its options at receiver for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Hill (leg) returned to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Per Jeff Howe of The Athletic, Hill's exit from the contest was due to cramping, and the wideout is now back in action and looks poised to continue to serve as a key target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Metcalf (hip) returned to Sunday's game against the Bengals for the Seahawks' first drive of the fourth quarter, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Initially listed as questionable to return after checking out of the game in the third quarter to get his hip injury evaluated, Metcalf came out of the locker room and was back on the field for the Seahawks' next possession. The Seahawks should provide an update after the game regarding whether Metcalf's hip issue is something that the team will have to keep a close eye on moving forward.

The Chargers added Palmer to their injury report for Monday's game against the Cowboys, listing him as questionable with a groin injury.

Palmer had been a full practice participant all week, but he may have picked up the injury at some point during the team's final session Saturday. In any case, his late addition to the injury report suddenly muddles his status for Monday and leaves fantasy managers who were planning on including him in Week 6 lineups in a tough position. While logging a season-high 85 percent snap share in the Chargers' last game Week 4 against the Raiders, Palmer recorded three catches for 77 yards on eight targets. With Mike Williams (knee) out for the season, Palmer should be primed for a big role the rest of the way if he can move past his own groin injury.

Metcalf suffered a hip injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bengals and is questionable to return.

Metcalf recorded two catches for 30 yards on five targets before heading to the locker room for further evaluation. The Seahawks should have an update on Metcalf's status later Sunday.
