  • Patriots' Efton Chism: Contributes as returner

    Chism was on the field for two of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Sunday's contest represented the regular-season debut for Chism, who made his mark while logging 12 special teams snaps and returned five kickoffs for 129 yards. The rookie wideout could keep the primary kickoff returner role with Antonio Gibson out for the season due to a torn ACL.

  • Van Jefferson WR | TEN

    Titans' Van Jefferson: Season-best numbers in loss

    Jefferson secured four of six targets for 75 yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.

    Jefferson recorded more offensive yardage in Week 6 than during the prior five games his year combined, as he played a season-high 75 percent of the offensive snaps. His increased involvement came as the result of Calvin Ridley (hamstring) being forced off the field early in the first quarter. If Ridley is limited or unable to play in Week 7 versus the Patriots then Jefferson, rookie fourth-rounder wideout Elic Ayomanor and tight end Chig Okonkwo could all benefit from an uptick in target share.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Two catches Sunday

    Hollins, who logged 35 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught two of three targets for 28 yards.

    Through the Patriots' first six contests, Hollins has turned in a 9-70-2 receiving line on 12 targets. As this coming Sunday's game against the Titans approaches, Hollins is only a fantasy consideration in deep formats.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Injury update coming Wednesday

    Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Wilson (knee) is having his injury evaluated and that the team will provide an update on his health Wednesday.

    Wilson is slated to undergo an MRI after having sustained a knee injury during Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London in which he logged just three catches for 13 yards on eight targets. He received an X-ray after the contest, though it appears further evaluation will be necessary to fully diagnose the severity of his injury. With the No. 1 receiver's status potentially up in the air for Week 7 against the Panthers, Justin Fields and New York's struggling passing offense may have to lean on wideouts Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard (personal), in addition to rookie tight end Mason Taylor.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Expected to miss time

    Nacua (ankle) is expected to miss time due to the left ankle sprain he sustained during Sunday's 17-3 win at Baltimore, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Nacua secured two of three targets for 28 yards before being forced out of Sunday's win over the Ravens early in the second quarter, and while he was able to return to the road matchup after halftime, he didn't record any further offensive statistics. The star wideout appears to be trending in the wrong direction to suit up against the Jaguars in London in Week 7, after which the Rams will benefit from a Week 8 bye. If Nacua indeed misses any time, Davante Adams will step into the spotlight as Los Angeles' clear No. 1 wideout, while Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell (hamstring) and tight end Tyler Higbee could all inherit expanded roles.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Disappointing showing in Week 6

    Bond recorded two receptions on five targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-9 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Bond was gaining momentum in the Cleveland offense in recent weeks, but that changed during Sunday's loss. Though quarterback Dillon Gabriel took to the air 52 times in Week 6, tight end Harold Fannin and wideout Jerry Jeudy soaked up much of the targets. Bond was shut out on the stat sheet until early in the fourth quarter, finishing with his lowest yardage output since Week 2.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Poor output on 13 targets

    Jeudy recorded five receptions on 13 targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers.

    Jeudy bounced back from a volume perspective in Dillon Gabriel's second career start, as he led the team in targets in Sunday's loss. However, the good news ended there, as Jeudy managed an abysmal 3.3 yards per target with a long reception of only 12 yards. Things haven't gone well between Gabriel and Jeudy early on, as Jeudy has only seven catches for 58 yards on 18 targets through Gabriel's first two starts.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Can't follow up on breakout

    Flournoy recorded three receptions on six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers. He added one rush for three yards.

    Flournoy maintained a role in the Dallas pass-catching corps with both CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot). He couldn't follow up his breakout Week 5 performance, but Flournoy managed to finish third on the team in both targets and yards. He appears to be the preferred option over Jalen Tolbert in the offense, but Flournoy is likely to be rendered less relevant for fantasy purposes as the Cowboys' wide receivers get healthier.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Two receptions Week 6

    Washington secured two of four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss against the Seahawks.

    The 2023 sixth-round pick finished second on the team in receiving yards, but that's not saying much given that Brian Thomas was the only Jacksonville pass catcher to eclipse 30 yards. Washington was fairly involved in the passing game across Weeks 2 and 3 with nine catches for 110 yards, but over the past three games he has just four receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown.

  • Dyami Brown WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Does little with five targets

    Brown caught two of five targets for 13 yards and carried once for seven yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.

    The 26-year-old tied for third on the team in targets but finished below 20 receiving yards for his third consecutive contest. Brown totaled eight receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown in the first two weeks of the season, but he has just six catches for 35 yards across his past three games.
