  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Rams' Robert Woods: Tops century mark again

    Woods caught seven of 10 targets for 109 yards during Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Broncos. He also rushed once for 12 yards.

    Woods, who topped the century mark for the third time in four contests, is now averaging over 87 receiving yards per game this season despite splitting targets with the likes of Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp. However, the fact he shares an offense with two other quality receivers -- along with stud running back Todd Gurley, who leads the league with 11 touchdowns in 2018 -- naturally limits the amount of attention Woods sees near the painted area. Woods is more of a possession receiver anyway, but the fact he's gone without a red-zone target in four of six games this season is nonetheless a concern for his fantasy outlook. Next up for the USC product is a Week 7 matchup against a 49ers defense allowing 11.7 yards per reception this year.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Returns briefly Sunday

    Coach Sean McVay said Kupp only played briefly during the second half of Sunday's 23-20 win at Denver, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. "It seemed like initially, things came out good," McVay said. "He played that first drive and did some things. He just wasn't himself."

    On the receiving end of a horse-collar tackle in the second quarter, Kupp had his leg buckled underneath him. He was carted to the locker room with what seemed to be a significant injury, only to make a surprise appearance during the Rams' first possession of the second half. While he did not add to his target count -- just one for the game -- Kupp thereafter was seen on the sideline with his helmet on for the remainder of the contest. The Rams didn't chime in on his health after he returned, but it's safe to say he'll show up on the Week 7 injury report when the team reconvenes for practice Wednesday.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Cowboys' Cole Beasley: Scores two touchdowns in win over Jags

    Beasley caught nine of 11 targets for 101 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 40-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Beasley was virtually the only Cowboys pass catcher to make a real impact, leading the team in targets, catches and yardage all by a hefty margin. He scored touchdowns of 17 and nine yards in the second quarter while helping his team to a 24-point lead at the half. Beasley averaged just 38.6 yards receiving coming into the day, but his usage in one, combined with the team's dramatic improvement on offense, could indicate a shift moving forward. He'll look to follow up this tremendous performance next Sunday in a divisional showdown with the Redskins.

  • Terrelle Pryor WR | NYJ

    Jets' Terrelle Pryor: Scores again in win

    Pryor (groin) caught five of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-34 win over the Colts.

    Pryor gave the Jets the lead late in the first half, catching a 7-yard dart in traffic for his second touchdown in as many weeks. Pryor was looking like he finally getting into rhythm with Sam Darnold but later reportedly pulled his groin while the Jets' top target, Quincy Enunwa, also left the game with an ankle injury. Updates on the injuries were not available shortly after the game, but both obviously warrant keeping an eye on.

  • Jaydon Mickens WR | IND

    Jaguars' Jaydon Mickens: Fractures ankle in loss

    Mickens broke his ankle in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Mickens will miss 4-to-6 weeks as a result of the injury. Dede Westbrook may see more return duty in the meantime.

  • Jaydon Mickens WR | IND

    Jaguars' Jaydon Mickens: Ruled out Sunday

    Mickens left Sunday's game against the Cowboys with an ankle injury and won't return, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Mickens' loss will likely only be felt on Jacksonville's return units. Heading into Sunday, the wideout had played only three offensive snaps this season.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Has slow day

    Diggs caught three of five targets for 33 yards and added a nine-yard run during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Cardinals.

    It was a season low in targets for Diggs, who came into Sunday averaging seven catches off of 11 targets per game. It's probably safe to write Sunday off as a blip, but it warrants mentioning that the Vikings dropped back on just 54 percent of snaps on Sunday as compared 71 percent heading into the week. It is unclear whether that's a sign of things to come or if Diggs' targets are in jeopardy. He has an opportunity to rebound on Sunday against a Jets pass defense that ranks in the middle of the pack this season.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Keeps good times rolling

    Thielen caught 11 of 15 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-17 win over Arizona.

    Thielen extending Minnesota's lead early in the second half, splitting the middle of the field for a 13-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone. Thielen has now scored in four of six games and has at least six catches and 100 yards in every game this season. He is as reliable an option as you can find this point, particularly on Sunday against a Jets defense surrendering 292 receiving yards per game.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Bills' Zay Jones: Finds end zone in loss to Texans

    Jones caught three of eight targets for 35 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Texans.

    Jones led the team in targets and got into the end zone for the first time this season on a 16-yard play in the fourth quarter. While this was a useful performance, he has reached 35 receiving yards just three times this season and his fantasy outlook could take a further hit if starting quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) misses time. Jones will look to build on this effort next Sunday against the Colts.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Grabs 64 yards, TD in Week 6

    Robinson caught five of six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

    Robinson scored from 12 yards out in the third quarter and made a beautiful 21-yard catch on the sideline early in the fourth on a play that withstood a Miami challenge. He has at least 50 yards or a touchdown in every game heading into a Week 7 clash with the Patriots.
