  • 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.

  • Amari Rodgers WR | IND

    Packers' Amari Rodgers: Snags second reception

    Rodgers caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-14 victory over the Bears. He also returned two punts for 16 yards.

    Rodgers has not had many opportunities to contribute in his rookie season, but he made a couple key plays Sunday, picking up good yardage on a punt return in the second quarter and also picking up a first down on a short pass in the third. Despite the positives, he figures to remain in a bit role for the Packers.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Packers' Randall Cobb: Shut out in Week 6

    Cobb was not targeted in Sunday's 24-14 victory over the Bears.

    Cobb was on the field for 23 plays in Week 6, but he did not see even one pass directed his way. He has worked as the Packers' No. 3 wideout since Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) landed on injured reserve, and that has resulted in one big game in Week 4 and two quiet appearances since. If Valdes-Scantling remains out for Week 7, Cobb could get involved again, as the Packers will take on a Washington defense that has allowed wide receivers to rack up 420 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns over the last two weeks.

  • Shi Smith WR | KC

    Panthers' Shi Smith: Involved in debut

    Smith caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Smith, a rookie sixth-rounder, played eight offensive snaps and seven on special teams in his NFL debut. Along with his receptions, Smith returned a kickoff for 24 yards. With fellow first-year wideout Terrace Marshall now in concussion protocol, Smith stands a decent chance to remain active in Week 7 versus the Giants.
