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.

Doubs was targeted nine times and caught four passes for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets.

The nine passes thrown in Doubs' direction were a career high, but none of his receptions picked up more than eight yards. The rookie has been quiet the past two weeks, but he should continue seeing plenty of opportunities, as he played all but three snaps in Sunday's contest. Among the Packers' top five wideouts, Doubs is one of only two who heads into Week 7 without an injury issue.

Gallup caught just two of seven targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Eagles.

Cooper Rush was not up to the task of facing Philadelphia's dominant defensive unit, as he failed to complete half of his passes and Gallup was the receiver who suffered the worst (28.6 catch rate). There are two positive takeaways to be had from the wideout's rough game. First, Gallup's seven targets finished behind only CeeDee Lamb's 10. The other good news is that Dak Prescott (thumb) could return as soon as next Sunday's matchup against the Lions, which could boost all of Dallas' receiving options heading into a soft matchup. Gallup will serve as the No. 2 receiver for whoever lines up under center in Week 7.

Lamb (hip) had five receptions on 10 targets for 68 yards while adding nine yards on two rush attempts in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Eagles.

Lamb's fantasy managers suffered a late-week scare when the star wideout was added to the injury report due to his hip at Friday's practice. The 23-year-old was expected to play based on early reports Sunday, and he followed through and provided solid fantasy production. Lamb added his second and third rushing attempts of the season, but his efficiency (5.0 YPC) is lacking compared to his brief usage as a rusher over his first two seasons (8.3 YPC). Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) could return as soon as next Sunday's tilt against Detroit, but Lamb has proven that he can still be relied upon even if backup Cooper Rush is forced to make another start.

Smith hauled in all five of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Cowboys.

Smith finished with a nearly identical line to fellow starter A.J. Brown, as both receivers were able to eat despite Jalen Hurts finishing with a new season low of 155 passing yards. The talented sophomore has been on a roll since his zero-point dud back in Week 1, accruing a receiving line of 33/397/2 for fantasy managers over his last five games. Smith will continue to be a must-start wideout when Philadelphia returns from its bye week to take on the Steelers on Oct. 30.

Duvernay recorded one catch on five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants.

Duvernay tied for the lead in targets among Baltimore's wide receivers in the absence of Rashod Bateman (foot). However, he seemingly was not on the same page as Lamar Jackson, which is surprising given that he had converted nine of his last 12 targets into receptions entering Sunday's game. Assuming Bateman remains out, Duvernay will have a legitimate chance to contribute to the offense in Week 7 against the Browns, though his involvement continues to pale in comparison to that of Mark Andrews.

Brown caught five of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Cowboys.

Brown rebounded in a big way after turning in his lowest fantasy point total of the season against the Cardinals last week. The 25-year-old led the Eagles in targets and receiving yards while his running mate, DeVonta Smith (5-44-1), finished a close second. The dynamic receiving duo have been as advertised through six weeks with early MVP candidate, Jalen Hurts, navigating this talented offensive unit into the bye week. Brown and his healthy 33/503/2 line will resume action in Week 8 against the Steelers.

Slayton caught one of three targets for 18 yards in a 24-20 win over Baltimore in Week 6.

Slayton looked like he could be on the verge of a breakthrough with a six-catch, 79-yard performance in Week 5, but he fell back to earth with Sunday's quiet showing. Fellow receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) were both inactive for the contest, but it was tight end Daniel Bellinger who led the Giants in both catches and receiving yards. There's too much volatility among New York's pass-catching corps for any player on the unit to have fantasy viability at the moment.

Moore recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks.

Moore tied for the team lead in targets with Zach Ertz, though Marquise Brown (ankle) was forced to exit the game prematurely. As has typically been the case, Moore worked primarily in the short areas of the field. However, he did rack up yards after the catch on two occasions to tally receptions of 26 and 16 yards. Moore should remain heavily involved in the offense even with the return of DeAndre Hopkins (suspension), so long as Marquise Brown (ankle) is forced to miss Thursday's Week 7 matchup against the Saints.

Hardman caught three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bills.

While he once again didn't see much target volume, Hardman came up big, hauling in a three-yard TD strike from Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter to tie the score at 17-17. It was the first TD for the speedster since Kansas City's opener, and his limited role in the passing game makes him tough to use on fantasy rosters heading into a Week 7 meeting with the 49ers.
