Phillip Dorsett WR | LV
Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Logs just three snaps in Week 6
Dorsett, who was on the field for three of a possible 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 43-40 win over the Chiefs, was not targeted in the game.
Dorsett's dramatic dip in playing time Sunday corresponded to fellow wideout Josh Gordon seeing a major uptick in snaps (63) in his third game with the Patriots. Looking ahead, Dorsett figures to see limited opportunities in the team's offense as long as Gordon, Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan remain healthy.

Mike Williams WR | LAC
Chargers' Mike Williams: Only snags one catch
Williams caught just one of his four targets for four yards and also carried the ball once for 10 yards in the 38-14 win over the Browns.
A couple of errant throws could have resulted in a bigger day for Williams, but the end result is another down performance after he tallied 189 receiving yards through three weeks. Instead it was Tyrell Williams who put together an explosive afternoon, turning four targets into 118 yards and two touchdowns, including a spectacular reception over three defenders for a score. Mike Williams owners can take solace in the fact that the second-year receiver was one of only four Chargers to see four-plus targets, but at this point it appears to be a guessing game as to when the former No. 7 overall pick will string together another positive performance.

DeVante Parker WR | PHI
Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Plays four snaps in win
Parker (quadriceps) failed to haul in his lone target while playing just four of 78 offensive snaps Sunday in the Dolphins' 31-28 overtime win over the Bears.
Suiting up for just the second time all season, Parker barely saw the field, as Albert Wilson (six catches for 155 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets) instead saw most of the work alongside Danny Amendola and Kenny Stills in three-wideout sets. According to Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, coach Adam Gase said Monday that Parker's quad injury remains a nagging issue that has limited the 25-year-old's burst. Parker should regain some explosiveness in time, but it's difficult to forecast when -- or if -- he'll take back a more vital role in the Dolphins' passing attack.

Jamal Agnew WR | ATL
Lions' Jamal Agnew: Headed to injured reserve
The Lions intend to place Agnew on injured reserve this week after he suffered a knee injury in the team's Week 5 win over the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
While Agnew's injury is significant enough to sideline him for the next eight weeks, Schefter relays that the All-Pro return man could be a candidate to return from injured reserve later in the season if the Lions are still in the mix for a playoff spot. Agnew has also seen his role grow at defensive back this season, but his absence will be most acutely felt on special teams. TJ Jones, Ameer Abdullah, Kerryon Johnson and Brandon Powell are all candidates to fill in for Agnew on kickoff and/or punt returns.

Josh Bellamy WR | NYJ
Bears' Josh Bellamy: Quiet in Week 6
Bellamy failed to see a target in Chicago's Week 6 loss to the Dolphins.
Bellamy has been targeted just three times this season, and he's emerged as little more than a bit player in the Chicago offense.

Keke Coutee WR | MIA
Texans' Keke Coutee: Second among targets
Coutee caught three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over Buffalo.
Coutee's five targets were second only to DeAndre Hopkins (six), as Houston's vaunted passing game wasn't very crisp Sunday. That can be attributed to the health of quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest), who attempted just 25 throws. Coutee, who entered the game with 22 catches over the last two games, might experience similar usage Week 7 if Watson's health remains the same, particularly against the imposing pass defense of the Jaguars.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Goes off for three scores
Hill racked up 142 yards and three touchdowns on seven receptions (12 targets) in Sunday's 43-40 loss to the Patriots.
Patrick Mahomes -- and in turn, Hill -- were held in check in the first half against the Patriots' "bend, but don't break" defense. That strategy only worked for two quarters, as Hill was able to break the top off New England's secondary with three second-half scores, the last of which came on a 75-yard catch-and-run that tied the game at 40. The 24-year-old's heavy involvement in the passing game -- he led all Kansas City receivers in catches and targets -- coupled with his home-run hitting ability make him one of the most explosive fantasy options at wide receiver in some time.

Brandon Marshall WR | SEA
Seahawks' Brandon Marshall: One target in second straight contest
Marshall caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Raiders.
Marshall once again fell behind in the pecking order, as David Moore passed him in offensive snaps for the third straight week. Barring an injury, he's fit to stay on waivers.
-
David Moore WR | CAR
Seahawks' David Moore: Scores in second straight game
Moore caught two of three passes for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Raiders. He also rushed once for five yards.
Moore has elevated to the No. 3 wideout role, but his value still is dependent on touchdowns. The second-year pro scored twice in Week 5 against the Rams and kept the momentum rolling with another score in Week 6. He's still unreliable with just nine targets in the last three weeks.
-
Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Salvages dud with insurance touchdown
Lockett caught three of four targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Raiders. He also ran for seven yards.
Lockett was a dud for three quarters, but he caught a 10-yard touchdown pass five seconds into the fourth quarter to give fantasy owners consolidation. He fell behind Doug Baldwin, who caught six of eight targets for a team-high 91 yards but no score. The team will enter a Week 7 bye week.
