McLaurin caught four of seven targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 17-16 win over Miami.

McLaurin was the difference in Sunday's game against a depleted Miami secondary. He put Washington on the board early in the second quarter with a deep, out-breaking route for a 25-yard touchdown and then just dashed straight up the sideline for a 33-yard score early in the third quarter. All eyes are on Dwayne Haskins in Washington, but it's the other rookie Buckeye that has been among the team's brightest young stars. McLaurin has five touchdowns in five games, but Week 7 features a tough matchup against a hot 49ers team.

Lockett caught all five targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 32-28 win over the Browns.

Lockett made three of his catches for 35 yards on the Seahawks' game-winning drive, and the third reception on the drive was ruled a touchdown on the field but was reversed upon video review. Chris Carson scored on a one-yard run on the next play. Russell Wilson spread out his passes to 10 different players, but Lockett still managed to lead the team in targets along with D.K. Metcalf and Jaron Brown. His chances for red-zone targets could increase going forward if Will Dissly's Achilles injury is in fact serious.

Thielen secured six of eight targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 38-20 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also rushed once for no gain.

Thielen saw fellow wideout Stefon Diggs put together the spectacular numbers Sunday, but he still generated a solid fantasy line overall courtesy of a six-yard touchdown grab to open the scoring midway through the first quarter. Thielen checked in second to Diggs in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, and he's now scored three touchdowns overall over his last pair of contests. Thielen will look to make strong contributions once again in a Week 7 NFC North battle against the Lions.

Beckham hauled in six of 11 targets for 101 scoreless yards in Sunday's 32-28 loss to the Seahawks.

Beckham's struggles lately have been well-documented, as he caught just 10 passes for 103 yards over the previous three games. He nearly met that yardage total in this contest alone. This was Beckham's fourth straight game without a touchdown, as he dropped a pass on the Seahawks' goal line in the fourth quarter. The drops have clearly been a problem for Beckham this season, and he'll look to figure out the issue during the upcoming bye week with a daunting Week 8 matchup against the Patriots on the other side.

Cooper is questionable to return to Sunday's road game versus the Jets due to a quadriceps injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Cooper was a spectator near the end of the Cowboys' second possession of the contest, standing on the sideline with his helmet off. He was a limited practice participant this week due to ankle and quad issues, the latter of which has reared its head. If he's unable to retake the field, Cooper will end the day with one catch (on two targets) for three yards. Additionally, with Randall Cobb (back) and Devin Smith (coach's decision) inactive, the wide receiver group includes just Michael Gallup, Tavon Austin, Cedrick Wilson and Ventell Bryant.

Chark caught three of seven targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Saints.

It was a dream matchup coming into Week 6 for the second-year wideout, taking on a New Orleans defense that conceded 125 receiving yards and two touchdowns to Buccaneers wideout Chris Godwin the outing prior. Chark himself had four-plus catches in every appearance thus far this season coming into Sunday, with one touchdown and nearly 100 receiving yards per game. The grizzled Saints secondary was capable of keeping the young wideout in check, but he has a strong chance of bouncing back in Week 7 against a Bengals defense that entered the weekend allowing 267 passing yards per game over its past four outings.

Diggs secured seven of 11 targets for 167 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings' 38-20 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 18 yards.

The breakout game the Vikings, Diggs and fantasy managers had all been waiting for finally came for the speedy receiver, who got his day off to an outstanding start by shaking loose for touchdown receptions of 62 and 51 yards in the second quarter. Just as important, albeit not as spectacular, was Diggs' 11-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter, which extended Minnesota's lead to 31-20 at the time. The targets, yardage and touchdown tally were all high-water marks on the season for Diggs, who also equaled the season-best seven receptions he'd managed Week 4 against the Bears. Diggs will look to build on his second 100-yard game in the last three contests when he tangles with the Lions secondary Week 7.

Hill caught five of 10 targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Texans.

Returning from a five-week absence, Hill quelled any concerns about his health with a beautiful leaping catch which he turned into a 46-yard touchdown early in the first quarter. He led the team in targets, catches and receiving yardage as well, later adding a six-yard touchdown grab that briefly put his team ahead. Barring any setbacks, Hill appears to be fully ready to contribute in Thursday's game against the Broncos.

Thomas secured eight of 12 targets for 89 yards in the Saints' 13-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Thomas wasn't anywhere near as prolific as he'd been at the expense of the Buccaneers in Week 5, but he was able to generate a solid fantasy afternoon overall versus a Jaguars defense missing Jalen Ramsey (back) for a third consecutive contest. Thomas once again unsurprisingly paced the Saints in targets and now has logged 25 looks over the last two games alone. The Pro Bowl receiver will look to make his mark once again versus the tough Bears defense Week 7.

Hopkins caught nine of 12 targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Although Hopkins caught 75 percent of the balls thrown his way, he was limited to very short gains outside his long of 18 yards. He also was targeted on a deep ball that could have resulted in a touchdown, only to see Deshaun Watson misfire on the play. Hopkins continues to draw plenty of targets each week, but he's struggled to break through the coverages most teams are rolling his way and has now been held under 75 receiving yards in four of the last five games. He'll continue searching for his breakout performance next Sunday against the Colts.
