  • Josh Bellamy WR | NYJ

    Jets' Josh Bellamy: Listed as active Sunday

    Bellamy (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    With just two catches for 20 yards in four games this season, Bellamy is off the fantasy radar. He currently slots in behind the Jets' top three wideouts, Robby Anderson, Demaryius Thomas and Jamison Crowder.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Cowboys' Randall Cobb: Held out Week 6

    Cobb (back) is inactive for Sunday's road game versus the Jets, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    The Cowboys took this decision down to the wire but ultimately opted for caution as Cobb deals with hip and back injuries. The team also included Devin Smith on the inactive list this weekend, leaving Tavon Austin, Cedrick Wilson and Ventell Bryant as the only wide receivers available behind starters Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup.

  • Damiere Byrd WR | BUF

    Cardinals' Damiere Byrd: Returning to action Sunday

    Byrd (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    A hamstring injury sidelined Byrd for two games, but he'll resume his standing as the Cardinals' top outside threat at wide receiver. With Byrd back in action, KeeSean Johnson will be the other outside receiver in four-wide sets, likely pushing Trent Sherfield back to a special-teams role.

  • Cardinals' Christian Kirk: Out again Week 6

    Kirk (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Despite being limited in practice all week, Kirk will stick to the sideline for a second straight contest. His reps in the slot primarily will go to Pharoh Cooper, though rookie Andy Isabella also is on hand for those snaps.

  • Curtis Samuel WR | BUF

    Panthers' Curtis Samuel: In end zone twice during win

    Samuel secured four of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 37-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed once for eight yards and another score.

    The speedster turned in a fantasy-friendly effort across the pond in London, scoring on an eight-yard run and 13-yard reception in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. Samuel checked in behind only D.J. Moore in receptions and receiving yardage for the afternoon, and he's now seen at least six targets in five consecutive contests. Samuel will look to continue his solid play at the expense of the 49ers in Week 8 following a Week 7 bye.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Panthers' D.J. Moore: Paces pass catchers in win

    Moore hauled in seven of 10 targets for 73 yards and rushed once for 13 yards in the Panthers' 37-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He exited the game due to a rib injury at one point but eventually returned, Max Henson of the team's official site reports.

    Moore turned in a rock-solid performance in the London clash, pacing the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the process. The second-year wideout encouragingly has logged 18 targets over the last two games, which he's parlayed into 13 receptions and 164 yards. Moore thus heads into the bye week with plenty of momentum and a burgeoning rapport with quarterback Kyle Allen, both of which he'll look to continue cultivating against the 49ers in Week 8.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Bombarded with targets in loss

    Evans brought in nine of 17 targets for 96 yards and also caught a two-point conversion pass in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    A week after being blanked for only the second time in his career, Evans was peppered with a team-high amount of targets. The efficiency wasn't exactly high for the multi-time Pro Bowler, but the performance did serve as a much-needed resurgence. Evans' day could certainly have been even bigger, as he was the intended target on three of Jameis Winston's five interceptions. With a strong performance under his belt heading into the bye week, Evans will look to stay hot against the Titans in a Week 8 road interconference matchup.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Another stellar stat line

    Godwin secured 10 of 12 targets for 151 yards in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Godwin's massive day was accomplished with excellent efficiency, with fellow wideout Mike Evans needing 17 targets to generate a 9-96 line in comparison. Despite Evans' solid line, Godwin is clearly the No. 1 receiver in the Bucs offense for all practical purposes, with his three straight 100-yard efforts and four in the last five games overall offering plenty of evidence in that regard. Godwin did fail to catch a touchdown for the first time in three games, but with 35 targets over the last three contests alone, his fantasy stock is through the roof in all formats.

  • Saints' Michael Thomas: No coverage from Ramsey

    Thomas will not have to face coverage from Jalen Ramsey (back) in Sunday's Week 6 tilt against the Jaguars with the star cornerback declared inactive for the contest.

    Thomas is coming off an 11-catch, 182-yard, two-touchdown trampling of the Buccaneers in Week 5, and with Ramsey inactive, he theoretically will have an easier path to strong production once again Sunday. The Jaguars have been inconsistent in the secondary in Ramsey's absence, and Thomas' obvious rapport with Teddy Bridgewater could certainly come into play again Week 6.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Rotating in Sunday

    The Chiefs will 'rotate in' Hill (shoulder) for Sunday's game against the Texans, Fox's Jay Glazer said on their Sunday morning pregame show.

    Glazer went on to discuss how Hill's injury was unique, as the fractured clavicle was directed inward towards his lungs and heart, which is the opposite of most similar fractures.
