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.

Johnson secured five of seven targets for 28 yards while rushing twice for eight yards during the Steelers' 20-18 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Johnson was held to single-digit targets for just the second time this season during Sunday's victory, and he was unable to generate much yardage against the Tampa Bay defense. Mitch Trubisky replaced Kenny Pickett (concussion) in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup, and Chase Claypool saw more looks during the second half. However, Johnson has drawn plenty of targets from both Trubisky and Pickett this year, so he should have a chance to remain involved next week in Miami regardless of the Steelers' starting quarterback.

Jefferson brought in six of eight targets for 107 yards in the Vikings' 24-16 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also recorded a fumble.

Jefferson paced the Vikings in receptions and receiving yards while co-leading the team in targets. The third-year star's biggest play of the day came at a critical juncture, a 47-yard catch and run down the right side of the field on the last play of the third quarter with Minnesota clinging to a 10-3 lead. Jefferson will carry a streak of three consecutive 100-yard efforts -- as well as a five-game touchdown drought -- into a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals following a Week 7 bye.

Pittman brought in 13 of 16 targets for 134 yards in the Colts' 34-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Pittman paced the Colts in receptions, receiving yards and targets in a standout performance that saw him left out of Matt Ryan's three-touchdown barrage and come up just short of securing a two-point conversion grab, but that still led to season-best numbers across the board. Pittman now has a pair of 100-yard efforts on the campaign, and he'll look to make his first trip to the end zone since Week 1 in the Colts' AFC South road showdown versus the Titans in Week 7.

Claypool secured all seven of his targets for 96 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for eight yards during the Steelers' 20-18 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Claypool has had a somewhat inconsistent start to the season, but he had his best game of the year during Sunday's upset win over Tampa Bay. The 24-year-old reached the end zone for the first time this season with a six-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, and he had a pair of catches in the closing minutes for two third-down conversions to help seal the win. In spite of Claypool's inconsistent fantasy results early in the year, he's had at least six targets in five of the first six games of the season.

Coutee has suffered a concussion and will not return Sunday against the Jaguars, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Coutee suffered the injury taking a hard hit on a punt return. He was able to slowly walk off the field with the help of trainers and went to the locker room. He will now have to work his way through the leagues concussion protocols before returning to play again.

Cobb left Sunday's game against the Jets due to an ankle injury.

On the same play on which an Aaron Jones run was blown up early in the third quarter, Cobb needed assistance to get off the field. After going in the medical tent, he then was carted to the locker room. Officially questionable to return, Cobb will end Week 6 with one reception (on one target) for eight yards if he remains sidelined.

Agnew was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury.

Before leaving the contest, Agnew caught his only target for five yards and rushed once for 19 yards. In his absence, Christian Kirk and Zay Jones will continue to lead the Jaguars' Week 6 wideout corps.

Eskridge (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 6 clash against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

The second-year wideout was able to overcome an early-week illness to return to limited practice participation by Thursday, so his availability was expected. Now that it's confirmed, Eskridge is slated to fill his usual No. 4 receiver role, one that's netted a meager 3-16 line on five targets thus far across five games.
