Thielen brought in four of eight targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 24-16 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Thielen once again generated a modest yardage total, but he made up for it by securing his second touchdown grab of the season on a two-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. The veteran continues to mostly be stuck in a short-area role -- he's averaging a career-low 9.8 yards per reception -- but Thielen's route-running savvy and chemistry with Kirk Cousins will continue affording him plenty of fantasy viability in a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals following a Week 7 bye.

Wilson caught one of five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.

Wilson struggled to make an impact against a talented group of Packers cornerbacks. While his output comfortably marked a career low, the rookie saw quarterback Zach Wilson pass for merely 110 yards overall Sunday. The first-round wideout and the Jets will look to make a bigger impact through the air in Week 7 versus the Broncos.

Davis caught two of four targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.

Davis contributed New York's longest offensive play of the day, making a double move before hauling in a 41-yard pass during the second half. Thanks to that reception, the veteran led the Jets in yards through the air, as quarterback Zach Wilson managed only 110 overall. While the team's passing attack still lacks consistency, Davis at least helps move the chains and has been more impactful lately than purported top wideout Elijah Moore, who boasts merely 11 yards over the last two weeks and wasn't targeted Sunday.

Cobb likely suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Cobb departed the contest early in the third quarter, needing assistance from team trainers to reach the sideline and a cart to go to the locker room. He was unable to return, finishing with a season-low one target, which he turned into an eight-yard catch. A subsequent X-ray didn't reveal a fracture, but an MRI now has been ordered up to determine the severity of the injury. If Cobb indeed has a high-ankle sprain, he'll be poised for a multi-week absence.

Moore was not targeted in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.

Moore's goose egg comes after his one catch for 11 yards in Week 5 previously marked a season low. Although quarterback Zach Wilson passed for merely 110 yards Sunday, restricting everyone's output, Moore's recent drop-off is nonetheless noteworthy. He'll look to resurface as a significant threat in Week 7 versus the Broncos, but Sunday's empty outing could offer reason to temper expectations.

Chase had seven receptions on 10 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.

Joe Burrow and Chase came into the Superdome on a mission to recreate the magic the LSU teammates had the last time they played at this venue. The superstar duo did their part on the field, hooking up for a game-winning touchdown inside of the two-minute warning that sealed the victory for Cincinnati. Chase was having an adequate fantasy year coming into Sunday's matchup, so the monster stat line will surely boost his managers' spirits heading into the meat of the season. The 22-year-old phenom will carry a 39/475/4 line into a soft matchup against Atlanta's secondary next Sunday.

Lazard caught four of nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets.

Lazard hauled in a beautiful 35-yard pass along the sideline during the first half, then scored Green Bay's lone touchdown with a 25-yard connection from Aaron Rodgers to close the third quarter. In doing so, Lazard scored for the fourth time in five appearances this season. Although he lacks the upside of most No. 1 wideouts, Lazard's consistent production gives him solid value ahead of Week 7's matchup versus the Commanders.

Pickens secured three of six targets for 27 yards while rushing once for one yard during the Steelers' 20-18 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Pickens led the Steelers in receiving yards over the last two weeks, but the Buccaneers were more effective at holding him in check during Sunday's narrow victory. Most of the rookie second-rounder's strong performances have come with Kenny Pickett under center, and Pickett exited Sunday's matchup in the third quarter due to a concussion. It's not yet clear whether Pickett will be cleared to return in time for next Sunday's game in Miami, but it's possible that Pickens sees fewer looks if Mitch Trubisky is under center.

Waddle secured six of 10 targets for 129 yards in the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Waddle checked in second to Tyreek Hill in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he also committed a costly fumble at the Vikings' 14-yard line with less than five minutes remaining, leading to a Minnesota touchdown two plays later. Otherwise, Waddle was able to produce his third 100-yard effort of the season and second-highest catch tally along the way. The second-year star will aim to stay hot against an injury-hampered Steelers secondary that nevertheless played very effectively against the Buccaneers on Sunday when the Dolphins face Pittsburgh in a Sunday night Week 7 home matchup.

Hill secured 12 of 15 targets for 177 yards and netted minus-2 yards on one punt return in the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Hill led the Dolphins' air attack across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, displaying excellent chemistry with Teddy Bridgewater after the veteran came into the game for Skylar Thompson (thumb). Game script certainly worked in Hill's favor, as Miami trailed from the second quarter onward. The speedster, who now has a pair of 100-yard tallies in his last three games, is slated to get starting signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa back for a Week 7 Sunday night home matchup against the Steelers.
