Sherfield wasn't targeted and notched a tackle on punt coverage during Monday's 38-10 victory at Dallas.

The Cardinals made fellow wide receiver KeeSean Johnson a healthy scratch, but Sherfield handled just six of 62 snaps on offense while logging 13 special-teams plays. On the season, Sherfield has one catch on 23 offensive snaps through six contests, so he holds little to no sway in the fantasy realm.

Isabella was blanked on two targets during Monday's 38-10 win in Dallas.

The Cardinals took deep shots to Isabella on both of the first two drives of the game, but he seemed to have difficulty locating those balls and wasn't heard from thereafter. Later, in the second quarter, Christian Kirk hauled in a bomb from Kyler Murray and took it to the house for an 80-yard TD. Clearly, the Cardinals aren't afraid to allow Murray to unleash such throws a few times per game, but Isabella wasn't the beneficiary on this night. Considering his standing as the team's No. 4 WR, Isabella remains a hit-or-miss option.

The Packers cut Lipscomb from the practice squad Tuesday.

Lipscomb spent a week with the Packers before being shown the door. The 23-year-old out of Vanderbilt has yet to play in an NFL game, and his ceiling is likely as a practice squad player this year.

The Panthers placed Kirkwood (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

Kirkwood spent the first five weeks on IR with a broken clavicle before making his season debut in this past Sunday's loss to the Bears, logging a 51 percent snap share and hauling in one of two targets for 13 yards. The 26-year-old wideout re-injured his left clavicle during the game and will be shut down until a Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers, at the earliest.

Slayton (foot) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton maintained his listing in the first two days of the week, but the Giants actually held a walkthrough Tuesday, which may indicate the second-year wideout is attempting to gut out a foot injury. He played through the concern this past Sunday against Washington, tallying a season-low two catches for 41 yards. Fortunately for Slayton, he salvaged his stat line with a 23-yard TD. He'll attempt to bump from LP to FP on Wednesday, at which point the Giants will give an indication of his availability for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

Brown caught both of targets for 15 yards in Monday's 38-10 loss to the Cardinals.

The depth wideout has done well in his limited opportunities, but he's still only seen 10 targets through six weeks. Cedrick Wilson appeared to injure his ribs in the third quarter, which could afford Brown a few more snaps if Wilson is unable to play next week. It'll still take a couple of injuries to the top of the Cowboys' depth chart for Brown to really become a fantasy factor.

Wilson caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Monday's 38-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Wilson appeared to injure his ribs after a hard collision on a catch attempt during the third quarter, although it's unclear how serious the injury might be. The receiver only saw 25 offensive snaps and his status for Week 7's game against Washington is up in the air.

Johnson (back) is expected to practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson has been bit by the injury bug this season, but due to an unexpected Week 4 bye, he only missed this past Sunday's win against the Browns. His current concern is a back issue, which he picked up Week 5 and only allowed for one limited practice session last week. He'll look to elevate to full in advance of this Sunday's matchup at Tennessee.

Pringle snared both of his targets for 46 yards Monday versus the Bills.

Pringle saw a jump in his playing time with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) sidelined Monday, playing 38 percent of the offensive snaps after playing no more than 14 percent in any previous contest. He could continue to see boosted snap counts until Watkins is cleared to return but remains low enough in the pecking order for targets to remain off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Hardman failed to haul in his only target during Monday's game versus the Bills.

Even with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) sidelined Monday, Hardman played just 40 percent of the offensive snaps and was unable to get anything done on the plays he was in the game. Demarcus Robinson led the wideouts with 95 percent of the snaps played and looks to have clearly overtaken Hardman, which isn't a great sign for Hardman whom many experts pegged as a breakout candidate in 2020. He'll aim to get involved again in Week 7 versus a Broncos defense that held the Patriots to just 12 points Sunday.
