  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Zay Jones: Surprise receiving leader in loss

    Jones brought in five of eight targets for 79 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Jones was the Cardinals' surprise leader in receiving yards while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The combination of Marvin Harrison's second-quarter exit due to a concussion and Jacoby Brissett drawing a spot start in place of Kyler Murray (foot) appear to have conspired to generate Jones' season-best performance, as the veteran receiver had come into the afternoon with just a 5-37-0 receiving line on seven targets through four games. If Harrison remains sidelined for next Sunday's Week 7 home game against the Packers, Jones could enjoy an expanded role again versus Green Bay.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Four catches in Week 6 loss

    Wilson brought in four of five targets for 44 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Wilson stepped into a bigger role despite dealing with a finger injury, as Marvin Harrison exited the contest due to a concussion in the second quarter. Wilson's target total was his second highest of the season, while both his catch and yardage tallies represented new high-water marks on the campaign. The third-year wideout may also have benefitted from Jacoby Brissett being under center in place of Kyler Murray (foot), and that same arrangement may hold for a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Gets into end zone Sunday

    Downs brought in six of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Downs' day got off on the right foot with receptions of nine, 11 and five yards on the opening drive, and he ultimately added his first touchdown catch of the season on a five-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. Downs has back-to-back six-catch efforts heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Chargers, and he's logged at least five targets in three consecutive contests.

  • Elic Ayomanor WR | TEN

    Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Another lackluster effort Sunday

    Ayomanor had three receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Las Vegas.

    Ayomanor produced his third underwhelming performance in a row as the Titans returned to their losing ways in 2025. The lack of production from the rookie is especially concerning considering that No. 1 wideout Calvin Ridley (hamstring) left the contest early and did not return. Van Jefferson (4-75-0) wound up taking advantage instead and finished as Tennessee's leading receiver. That said, if Ridley is forced to miss next Sunday's tilt against the Patriots, Ayomanor may have a prime opportunity to return to the form that made him a hot pickup early in the campaign.

  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Leads team with 70 yards

    Tucker had five receptions on as many targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.

    Tucker finished as the Raiders' leading receiver on a low-volume day from the passing offense. The 24-year-old finished with a receiving line somewhere in between the highs and lows we had seen over his previous five appearances. The overall package has been a net positive from the speedy wideout after producing a 24-356-4 line through six starts. Tucker provides enough upside to warrant a spot in most fantasy lineups ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Kansas City.

  • Travis Hunter WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Hunter: Back to short-area role Sunday

    Hunter brought in four of seven targets for 15 yards and recorded two solo tackles in the Jaguars' 20-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    After consecutive encouraging performances during which Hunter generated a combined 6-106-0 receiving line on eight targets, the rookie second overall pick was back to a very modest, low-upside role Sunday. All but one yard of Hunter's tally came on one catch, underscoring how he didn't have any sort of downfield profile. Although he developed a well-earned college reputation for being an explosive player who can offer plenty at deeper depths of target than what he's been seeing, Hunter is surprisingly stuck in a limited role despite head coach Liam Coen's typically creative offensive designs.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: First TD as Seahawk

    Kupp secured two of three targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 20-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Kupp got into the end zone for the first time as a member of the Seahawks, recording an 11-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter. The veteran wideout remains a distant No. 2 in the offense's pecking order behind No. 1 receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had another prolific afternoon Sunday and has logged 56 targets to Kupp's 32. Kupp has now been under 60 receiving yards for four straight games heading into a challenging Week 7 home matchup against the Texans on Monday night, Oct. 20.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Gains 51 yards Sunday

    Shepard had two receptions on three targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 30-19 win over the 49ers.

    Shepard was elevated to second on the receiver depth chart after Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) were ruled out for Sunday's tilt. Things could have opened up more for the veteran after Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) left the contest early, but it was fellow wideouts Kameron Johnson and Tez Johnson who cashed in a pair of Baker Mayfield passing touchdowns Sunday. While things didn't pan out for Shepard in Week 6 (given his elevated opportunities), Egbuka's potential absence moving forward means that Shepard is worth holding for next Monday's tilt against the Lions.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Crucial catch vs. Dallas

    Renfrow caught one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

    Although Renfrow underwhelmed again in the Week 6 win, his only catch came on a crucial fourth-down conversion late in the fourth quarter that helped set up the Panthers' game-winning field goal. The veteran wideout from Clemson has now caught just four of seven targets for 24 yards over Carolina's last three games, and his role is expected to diminish even further once Jalen Coker (quadriceps) returns from injured reserve.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Recent struggles continue

    Meyers finished with four receptions on as many targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.

    Meyers' recent struggles continued, as he failed to eclipse 40 receiving yards for the third week running. At least the Raiders were able to pick up a win after losing their previous two contests during the wideout's current slump. Las Vegas is still without the services of star TE Brock Bowers (knee), so Meyers needs to step up his play for both his team and frustrated fantasy managers. Perhaps Meyers can turn his disappointing campaign around if he can find the end zone for the first time in 2025 against the Chiefs next Sunday.
