Conley caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Indianapolis.

Conley had a nice Week 5 against the Patriots, but that has been the outlier in a quiet season overall for the seven-year veteran. In his five other games, the 28-year-old wideout has eight targets, four catches and 50 yards. With Nico Collins returning from injured reserve, Conley had a season-low 43 percent share of offensive snaps and appears to be dropping down the depth chart.

Moore caught four of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Colts.

One week after Moore's breakout game against the Patriots, he retained a significant role in the Texans' passing offense, but it did not translate into a meaningful impact. Moore's had 10 targets the last two weeks, but he now must deal with added competition from rookie Nico Collins, who returned following a three-week stint on injured reserve.

Collins caught four of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Indianapolis.

The rookie third-round pick out of Michigan was active in his return from a three-week stay on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury. While the Texans suffered another bad defeat, Collins at least provided a spark. He played 43 snaps for a season-high 57-percent share and showed some chemistry with rookie quarterback Davis Mills. Brandin Cooks is the clear No. 1 wideout for Houston, but Collins should get plenty of opportunities on a team that figures to play from behind a lot.

Hollins secured four of five targets for 61 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Hollins had by far his best game of the season with all three of DeVante Parker (shoulder), Will Fuller (finger) and Preston Williams (groin) sidelined. Injuries may allow Hollins to benefit from extra snaps once again in Week 7, when the Dolphins will work to expose Atlanta's questionable secondary.

Schwartz caught two of three targets for 11 yards and returned two kickoffs for 54 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.

Schwartz, whose 26 snaps were the most he's played since Week 1, caught his first pass since the regular-season opener. Odell Beckham missed a few series with a shoulder injury, giving Schwartz additional playing time. If Beckham's shoulder acts up following the game, Schwartz could get enhanced playing time in Week 7 when the Browns host the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

Humphries caught one of two targets for a four-yard loss in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.

Humphries is averaging just 2.5 catches for 24.8 yards per game, struggling to build chemistry with QB Taylor Heinicke. The veteran slot man could even be demoted from the No. 3 receiver role at some point, though perhaps not before Week 7 in Green Bay, given that Curtis Samuel (groin) is in danger of missing another game.

Claypool (hamstring) had two receptions (seven targets) for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Seahawks.

Claypool was dealing with a hamstring injury coming into this contest, but he was cleared for action and seemed to be moving fine on the two occasions Ben Roethlisberger was actually able to connect with his wideout. The 23-year-old had been trending positively prior to this dud, posting 14 receptions, 226 yards and a touchdown over his previous two contests. We will write this off as rare poor outing, as Claypool is a strong fantasy asset moving forward with JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) out for the rest of the year. The Steelers are heading into their bye week with a matchup against Cleveland on tap for Week 8.

Lockett had just two receptions (seven targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.

It was a disappointing passing output from the Seahawks overall in Geno Smith's first start with the club, but Lockett was particularly disappointing given the poor catch rate (29 percent) and low production. The speedy wideout has a chance to bounce back next week against the Saints, especially if DK Metcalf draws most of the attention from shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore. That being said, it could simply be a rough go of things for the entire Seattle passing attack for at least two more games while Russell Wilson (finger) mends on IR.

Johnson caught nine of 13 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over Seattle.

Johnson also added 25 yards on a beautifully drawn up end-around that almost got the receiver into the end zone. Last week's stat line (two receptions for 72 yards and a TD) was a bit of an anomaly volume-wise given the low total pass attempts, but Sunday's double-digit targets was a better representation of what kind of usage we could see from Johnson going forward now that JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) is on IR. The Steelers are entering their bye week, with a matchup against the Browns set for Week 8.

Metcalf had six receptions (seven targets) for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.

The Seahawks offense looked lost for the entire first half of the contest with Geno Smith under center, recording just 76 passing yards through two quarters. Smith and the rest of the air attack finally got things rolling after halftime, but Metcalf was still left with a pedestrian stat line in his first full game with the backup under center. Things won't get any easier for the dynamic wideout next week, as a matchup against Marshon Lattimore and the Saints looms next Monday.
