  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Held to one catch Sunday

    Agholor caught one of his three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

    Agholor, who logged 32 of a possible 54 snaps on offense Sunday, has seen his production stall following the 5-72-1 stat line he recorded in the Patriots' season opener. It remains to be seen if the wideout's costly drop in overtime versus Dallas is reflected in his playing time this coming Sunday against the Jets, but until the 2015 first-rounder starts making big plays on a consistent basis, he'll be a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Catches five passes Sunday

    Meyers hauled in five of his six targets for 44 yards and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

    Meyers, who was on the field for 34 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in the contest, is averaging six catches and 57.7 receiving yards per game, numbers that put him on the PPR radar. While the third-year wideout has yet to be credited with a regular-season TD, that almost changed Sunday before his 25-yard catch-and-run was called back due to a penalty.

  • Raiders' Bryan Edwards: Makes highlight reel in Denver

    Edwards secured two of four targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Broncos.

    Edwards was held in check until he made a dazzling one-handed catch down the sideline on a key third down early in the fourth quarter that not only moved the chains but advanced the Raiders a momentous 51 yards and into enemy territory. The big play set up an eventual 30-yard field goal, which essentially put the contest out of reach. Edwards ultimately played 43 of 56 offensive snaps, but an Eagles secondary that just held Tampa Bay's Mike Evans to two catches for 27 yards awaits Week 7.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Five targets in win

    Renfrow hauled in three of five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Broncos. He also returned one punt for five yards.

    Renfrow posted season lows across the board in targets, receptions and receiving yardage while quarterback Derek Carr attempted just 27 total passes, as the Raiders played with a substantial lead for much of the second half. Renfrow's offensive snap share still eclipsed the 50-percent mark, and he'll continue handling work out of the slot Week 7 when Las Vegas hosts the Eagles.

  • Noah Brown WR | LV

    Cowboys' Noah Brown: Two grabs against Pats

    Brown caught both of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots.

    The yardage was a season high for Brown, who has posted a surprising 5-83-0 line on six targets over the last two games. With Michael Gallup (calf) potentially ready to come off IR after the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, however, Brown's modest role in the offense could be close to drying up.

  • Cowboys' Cedrick Wilson: Four grabs in OT win

    Wilson caught four of seven targets for 42 yards in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots.

    While offensive coordinator Kellen Moore didn't use Wilson on any gadget plays this time around, the third-year receiver instead set new season highs in catches, targets and receiving yards. With the Cowboys on their bye Week 7, Michael Gallup (calf) might be ready to come off IR for a Week 8 game in Minnesota, but Wilson still should have some role in the offense even once Gallup is back.

  • Browns' Odell Beckham: Nursing shoulder issue

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Beckham is managing a shoulder injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Beckham briefly left Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, in which he had five catches for 79 yards, but he was able to return to action before long. However, with limited time to rest before Thursday's matchup against the Broncos, Beckham's status will need to be monitored. Quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) said he expects to play Thursday, but Kareem Hunt (calf) is expected to hit IR and Nick Chubb (calf) was unable to go Week 6.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Falcons' Calvin Ridley: Returning to practice

    Ridley (personal) will return to practice this week, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Ridley sat out a Week 5 contest in London for personal reasons, and the Falcons were on bye Week 6, but it looks like the star wideout now is on track to be available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. In four appearances this season, Ridley has earned double-digit targets on three occasions and never failed to achieve at least 50 receiving yards.

  • Steelers' James Washington: Totals nine yards in victory

    Washington hauled in his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Seahawks.

    The 2018 second-rounder returned to the field against the Seahawks after he missed last week's game due to a groin injury. Even though the Steelers were playing without JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) in Week 6, Washington played just eight offensive snaps in the overtime win. Washington should see an uptick in playing time with Smith-Schuster out for the season, but Ray-Ray McCloud saw the biggest jump in playing time Sunday and was on the field for 52 offensive snaps.

  • Steelers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Two receptions in Week 6

    McCloud secured both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Seahawks.

    McCloud was on the field for a season-high 52 offensive snaps during the Steelers' first game without JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder), but he had a limited target share once again. The 25-year-old should continue to see plenty of playing time since Smith-Schuster underwent season-ending shoulder surgery, but McCloud hasn't had more than three receptions in any of his first six appearances of the 2021 campaign.
