Wicks caught two of four passes for 24 yards during the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Wicks' 24 receiving yards were his second-lowest of the season, but he still finished third among Eagles pass catchers in that category Sunday behind DeVonta Smith (75) and Dallas Goedert (61). Week 6 was the Eagles' first game with Tanner McKee under center, and with Jalen Hurts (calf) out for the rest of the season, the scoring floors of Wicks and the other Philadelphia pass catchers figure to be lower moving forward. That said, the Eagles have a juicy Week 7 matchup on Monday, Oct. 26 against the Cowboys, whose defense ranks in the bottom-10 in the league in fantasy points allowed per game to wide receivers.

Tillman reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Tillman was elevated to provide insurance at receiver as Chris Olave was dealing with an illness ahead of Sunday's victory over the Giants. Ultimately, Olave was able to suit up, relegating Tillman to a limited role, as he played only four snaps on offense and one on special teams while failing to produce any output in the box score.

Evans (Achilles) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Commanders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Evans limped to the locker room late in the second quarter and was grabbing at his right Achilles. He missed practice all week leading up to Monday night's game with Achilles soreness and a ribs injury, and it was apparent during the game that he wasn't close to 100 percent health. He still managed to catch three passes for 94 yards on five targets before heading to the locker room. It would be a shock if Evans returns against Washington, considering the 20-3 halftime lead and Evans' importance for the Niners moving forward this season. Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Malik Turner could close this one out at wideout against Washington.

Watson reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Watson was elevated for the first time since returning to the Chiefs but ended up playing just one snap on offense and three on special teams, failing to produce any output in the box score. He could be a candidate to play again in next week's matchup against the Seahawks should Rashee Rice remain sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Armstrong reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Armstrong started Sunday's game against the Chargers and played 42 of the Chiefs' 61 offensive snaps. The wide receiver caught one of two targets for 13 yards and logged one tackle on kick coverage. Armstrong will likely be elevated for the team's Week 7 contest against the Seahawks as well.

Evans headed to the locker room in the second quarter of Monday night's game against the Commanders with an apparent Achilles injury, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With Evans already having entered Monday's game managing ribs and Achilles issues, his exit is notable considering he didn't look anywhere close to 100 percent with the ball in his hands Monday. Late in the second quarter, Evans made a tumbling 16-yard grab in the red zone and immediately grabbed at his ailing Achilles. He got up and gingerly walked straight to the locker room with the training staff. If Evans is unable to return, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Malik Turner will be the remaining healthy wideouts for San Francisco.

Owen reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Owen played three snaps on special teams in the contest, returning one punt for 16 yards and signaling fair catch for two others. The wide receiver was used exclusively as a punt returner while Skye Moore (ankle) was absent.

Hurst caught three of six targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers.

Hurst matched his season high in catches and receiving yards against Pittsburgh, reeling in multiple passes for the fourth time this year. The wide receiver has now caught 11 of 22 targets for 168 yards over six contests to begin his first NFL campaign, and he could receive a boost if Baker Mayfield (thumb) returns to action in Week 7 versus Carolina.

Allen caught both of his passes for 27 yards during the Chiefs' 22-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Despite the absence of Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee), Allen was on the field for only nine of the Chiefs' 61 offensive snaps (14.8 percent). He drew a 20-yard pass interference penalty late in the first quarter before hauling in a four-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes on the first play of the second quarter, which was the first reception of Allen's career. The rookie wide receiver added a 23-yard catch midway through the fourth quarter, and he ended up finishing second among Chiefs wideouts in receiving yards ahead of Jalen Royals (24) and behind Xavier Worthy (73). Allen's small role in the Chiefs' offense would dwindle even more if Rice is cleared to return for Week 7 against the Seahawks on Oct. 25.

Williams caught all four of his targets for 32 yards and he rushed twice for nine yards during Sunday night's 23-13 win over Dallas.

Williams made his regular-season debut after missing the team's first five contests while on injured reserve with an ankle injury. The wide receiver finished fifth on the team in targets, but he ranked third at his position behind Matthew Golden (13) and Christian Watson (eight). With Jayden Reed (neck) done for the season and Skyy Moore (ankle) on injured reserve, Williams will have a chance to carve out a solid role for himself as the team's No. 3 WR moving forward in 2026.
