Thomas wasn't recently placed on injured reserve by the Saints in case he progressed quickly from his foot injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

After not playing at all during the 2021 campaign due to an ankle injury, Thomas returned to action in the season opener and caught 16 passes for 171 yards and three scores across his first three appearances. However, the veteran wideout has remained sidelined since due to a foot injury. His next chance to suit up will arrive Thursday night against the Cardinals, though it remains to be seen if that's in the cards.

Olave passed all of the league's concussion protocol steps Monday and is waiting for final clearance, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Olave suffered the concussion during a touchdown catch Week 5 and was sidelined for Week 6. However, he appears to be progressing well and soon may be uninhibited. Nonetheless, New Orleans has a quick turnaround into Thursday Night Football, so the Saints may not rush the rookie wideout into action Week 7. Michael Thomas (foot) has missed three straight games, and Jarvis Landry (ankle) hasn't practiced since Week 4 prep, so if Olave is available against Arizona, he'd likely operate as the Saints' No. 1 receiver.

Jennings caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.

Jennings continues to be Jimmy Garoppolo's go-to man on third down, with two of the receiver's three targets coming on the crucial down. The 25-year-old hasn't recorded more than two receptions since Week 1, so he's more valuable to the 49ers than he is to fantasy managers. That said, Jennings could see an extra target or two next Sunday if San Francisco is forced to play from behind against a high-powered Chiefs offense.

McMath (undisclosed) is not expected to return in Week 7 versus the Colts, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

McMath has been out since Aug. 31 while on injured reserve with an unspecified injury. Head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that the wide receiver wouldn't be back for Week 7, but he "might be back eventually". With the vague answer from Vrabel, it doesn't seem likely that McMath is a large part of Tennessee's game plan moving forward.

Thornton, who was on the field for 40 of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-15 win over the Browns, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught four of his five targets for 37 yards with a TD and carried three times for 16 yards and a rushing score in the contest.

Thornton saw an expanded role Week 6 alongside Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker, with Nelson Agholor (hamstring) inactive and Kendrick Bourne limited to four snaps due to a toe injury. The 2022 second-rounder's volume and fantasy upside Week 7 versus the Bears likely hinges on the availability of Agholor and Bourne, but in any case Thornton's speed gives him the potential to make plays in the coming weeks, thus making him a sleeper candidate in deeper formats.

Wilson was not targeted during the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Wilson was silent while Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle drew 15 and 10 targets, respectively, in a game that saw Teddy Bridgewater pass for over 300 yards after replacing Skylar Thompson (thumb) in the second quarter. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) could return to the starting lineup in Week 7 versus Pittsburgh, but even if Miami's offense gets its rhythm back, Wilson can safely be left out of fantasy lineups until he shows some flashes of the big-game upside he demonstrated in Dallas last season.

Fryfogle (hamstring) will work out with the Packers on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Fryfogle began training camp with the Cowboys but was waived/injured in late August due to a hamstring issue. However, his workout with the Packers signals that he's moved past his injury and is in the mix to provide depth at wide receiver after Randall Cobb sustained an ankle injury Sunday against the Jets.

Brown caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The 26-year-old wideout very nearly had a spectacular touchdown catch in the back corner of the end zone just before halftime, but upon review it was ruled he didn't get a second foot or other body part down in bounds after securing the ball. Brown has seen his target volume dwindle the last couple games with Michael Gallup back in action, but the entire Cowboys passing game could get a boost Week 7 if Dak Prescott (thumb) is able to return to action.

Zaccheaus hauled in all four of his targets for 58 yards during Sunday's 28-14 win versus the 49ers.

Zaccheaus tied Drake London in targets, but the former finished with team highs in receptions and receiving yards. While London and Kyle Pitts are the most talented pass catchers in Atlanta, Zaccheaus has quietly carved out a role as Marcus Mariota's most consistent receiver. The fourth-year wideout has caught multiple passes and recorded at least 20 receiving yards in each game this season, totaling 16 receptions for 271 yards and two scores.

Rodgers was caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets.

Rodgers played only four snaps on offense over the Packers' first five games, but he took the field for 22 offensive snaps in Week 6, seeing a bump in usage after Randall Cobb (ankle) left the game. Rodgers did little, but he did record his first reception of the season. Three Packers wideouts head into Week 7 with injury concerns, so Rodgers could be deployed beyond his usual special teams role once again.
