Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Titans' Kalif Raymond: Tallies three catches
Raymond recorded three receptions on four targets for 32 yards in Week 6 against the Texans.
Raymond stepped up in the absence of Corey Davis (COVID-19) again, though he clearly worked behind Adam Humphries and A.J. Brown. His first catch came in the team's first possession and went for six yards. However, his most notable contribution came early in the second quarter, when he picked up 20 yards on a deep pass from Tannehill that ultimately set up a touchdown for the team. Raymond continues to fill the role of deep threat for the Titans, as he has four receptions of 20 yards or more through five contests this season.

Russell Gage WR | SF
Falcons' Russell Gage: Flashes potential in Sunday's win
Gage corralled all four of his targets for 65 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-23 win against the Vikings.
The third-year wideout produced 15 receptions, 160 receiving yards and a touchdown during the first two weeks of the season, but he fell into a slump over his subsequent three outings. Gage exited the Falcons' Week 3 loss because of a head injury after fielding just 12 offensive snaps, and he managed just four combined receptions for 38 yards in Week 4 and 5 outings against Green Bay and Carolina. The 24-year-old bounced back in a big way against Minnesota's injury-depleted secondary, logging the fourth-best receiving total of his 37-game career. Gage will next face a Detroit defense that held Jacksonville to 5.1 yards per pass attempt during a Week 6 win.

Tyler Johnson WR | DAL
Buccaneers' Tyler Johnson: Maximizes one catch
Johnson hauled in his only target for a seven-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.
The rookie didn't have anywhere near the same role as in a Week 5 loss to the Bears that Chris Godwin and Justin Watson missed due to hamstring and chest injuries, respectively. However, Johnson cashed in his one opportunity to touch the ball. The 2020 fifth-round pick should continue to see sporadic opportunity throughout his first pro campaign, but he'll have a weekly uphill battle for Tom Brady's attention whenever the rest of the team's pass-catching corps is healthy.

Scott Miller WR | CHI
Buccaneers' Scotty Miller: One grab in Week 6 win
Miller secured one of two targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.
The speedster couldn't produce much in the way of a bounce-back effort after being blanked altogether in the Week 5 loss to the Bears, making it a second straight disappointing week for his fantasy managers. It was suspected that Miller's production was going to fluctuate week to week whenever the Bucs had their full complement of pass catchers available, and that was essentially the case Sunday with the exception of O.J. Howard (IR-Achilles). Miller will look to boost his numbers back up in a Week 7 road interconference showdown against the Raiders, a game that could produce the type of environment conducive to a few deep shots for the fleet second-year pro.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: TD streak ends Sunday
Evans caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Packers.
The two targets were a season low for Evans, and it's the first time all year he hasn't been able to haul in a TD, though it was the third time in six games he's been held to 10 yards or fewer. The game script did him no favors, as the Bucs' defense dominated the action, but it was still worrisome that all three of those low yardage totals have come in the three games Chris Godwin was healthy enough to play. Tom Brady will get another chance to make both his star receivers productive at the same time in Week 7's road clash with the Raiders.
-
Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Five grabs in return
Godwin caught five of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Packers.
The Bucs' defense dominated for most of the afternoon, leaving little for the team's passing game to do, but Godwin was still able to draw solid target volume in just his third appearance of the year. Expect the game script to be a little more favorable, and Godwin to be more productive, in Week 7's road tilt against the Raiders.

Jamison Crowder WR | WAS
Jets' Jamison Crowder: Can't do much with volume Sunday
Crowder caught seven of 13 targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Dolphins.
He led the Jets in receptions and targets once again, but for the first time this season Crowder wasn't able to turn the volume into significant production. Regardless of whether Sam Darnold (shoulder) or Joe Flacco has been under center, Crowder has seen double-digit targets and hauled in at least seven passes in all four games he's been able to suit up for, and with the winless Jets constantly playing from behind, he figures to remain the team's top wideout heading into Week 7's clash with the Bills.
-
Breshad Perriman WR | IND
Jets' Breshad Perriman: Leads team in receiving in return
Perriman caught four of eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Dolphins.
Seeing his first action since Week 2 after recoving from an ankle injury, Perriman led the Jets in receiving yards on an afternoon when nothing much was working for the offense. Jamison Crowder will likely remain the team's No. 1 receiver regardless of whether Sam Darnold (shoulder) or Joe Flacco is under center in Week 7, but Perriman appears ready to handle a significant role for a team that figures to be playing from behind most of the rest of the year.

Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: Takes step back
Shenault recorded three receptions on seven targets for 10 yards in Week 6 against the Lions.
Shenault saw a healthy seven targets, good for the second highest mark of his young career. However, he turned that into little production, with his longest gain of the day going for only four yards. Instead, he was overshadowed by Keelan Cole, who recorded six receptions for 143 yards Sunday. Even with this setback, Shenault has had a promising rookie season and had topped 75 receiving yards in each of his past two contests. He'll look to get things going again as the Jaguars take on the Chargers in Week 7.
-
Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: Makes six catches in return
Adams caught six of 10 targets for 61 yards during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Making his first appearance in nearly a month, Adams led the team in all receiving categories, though that wasn't saying much considering Aaron Rodgers managed just 160 yards on the day. Adams registered three catches on the first two drives but struggled as Rodgers' efficacy faded in the face of a ferocious defensive front, leading Adams to finish with modest numbers by his lofty standards. Adams will draw a favorable matchup against the Texans next Sunday and will look to bounce back in a big way after a rare subpar performance.
