Miller didn't draw a target while playing 26 of the Steelers' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.

Miller has been active for all five of Pittsburgh's games to date but has yet to record a reception and has drawn just one target. The 26 snaps he played Week 6 were a season-high total and ranked second among Steelers wideouts, but Miller was unable to capitalize on the increased time on the field. Despite the underwhelming showing in Week 6, Miller could in store for another boosted snap count Thursday against the Bengals with fellow receiver Calvin Austin (shoulder) seemingly trending toward missing a second straight game.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that Palmer (ankle) is viewed as week-to-week, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Palmer was forced out of the first half of Monday's 24-14 loss to the Falcons with an ankle injury, finishing the night with two receptions for 60 yards. Though Palmer may have been hard-pressed to make it back to the field if the Bills played on Sunday this week, he'll benefit from Buffalo being on bye for Week 7. The wideout will still need to resume practicing in some fashion during Week 8 to have a chance at playing in the Bills' next game Oct. 26 versus the Panthers.

Musgrave caught one of his two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.

Musgrave had a quiet day Sunday as he continued to fill his role as Green Bay's No. 2 tight end behind starter Tucker Kraft. The 25-year-old Musgrave played just 21 of Green Bay's 61 offensive snaps in the contest, while Kraft played 56 snaps. Barring an injury to Kraft, Musgrave is not worthy of consideration for fantasy lineups. With that said, next up for the Packers is a road game against the Cardinals in Week 7.

Heath failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.

Heath saw his highest snap share of the season Sunday, playing 46 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps after averaging a 26 percent snap share over the team's first four games. Despite the uptick in playing time, the third-year wideout was unable to get anything going against a vulnerable defense. Considering Heath is already buried on the depth chart and teammate Christian Watson (knee) is nearing his return, the 25-year-old is best ignored for fantasy purposes going forward. Up next for Green Bay is a Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals.

Brooks rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.

Brooks continued to operate as the No. 3 running back behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson, playing just five of the Packers' 61 offensive snaps Sunday. The 25-year-old can be ignored for fantasy purposes going forward based on his extremely limited usage. Next up for the Packers is a road game against the Cardinals in Week 7.

Wilson rushed three times for 11 yards and caught his lone target for minus-four yards in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.

Wilson continued to operate as the primary backup to Josh Jacobs in Week 6. The 26-year-old running back played just 11 of the Packers' 61 offensive snaps Sunday, while Jacobs handled 48 snaps. Barring an injury to Jacobs, Wilson remains far off the fantasy radar as anything more than an insurance policy. The Fort Valley State University product will have his next chance to spell Jacobs out of the backfield in Week 7 when the Packers visit the Cardinals.

Mitchell failed to log a rushing attempt or target while playing just two of the Ravens' 78 offensive snaps in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams. He returned one kickoff for 17 yards over six snaps on special teams.

After touching the ball on all four of the snaps he played in a Week 5 loss to the Texans, Mitchell didn't see any usage Sunday and ranked fourth in snaps among Ravens running backs, trailing Derrick Henry (38), Justice Hill (35) and Rasheen Ali (three). The 23-year-old speedster doesn't appear to be a priority in Baltimore's offensive attack at the moment, despite the playmaking ability he can offer as a change-of-pace back.

Likely secured both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams.

Likely's 81 percent offensive snap share was his highest mark of the season. Additionally, his two targets were the most he's seen through three games. With that said, Likely was unable to get much going, as the Ravens' offense continued to struggle without quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) in the lineup. Though the 25-year-old tight end should continue to split time with Mark Andrews going forward, the possible return of Jackson after the team's Week 7 bye should help Likely see an uptick in production. Nonetheless, fantasy managers would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach when Jackson returns before putting Likely into their lineups. Following the bye, the Ravens will host the Bears on Oct. 26.

Winfield recorded nine tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' 30-19 win over the 49ers in Week 6.

Winfield paced the Buccaneers in stops on a busy day for the defense, one that saw six players record at least five tackles. The star safety hadn't posted more than four stops in any of the first five games of the season, but he had a big surge in that department while playing on all 69 of the defensive snaps. Winfield could well be busy again in Week 7, as the Buccaneers visit the Lions and their typically prolific offense for a Monday night showdown.

Johnson secured all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-19 win over the 49ers in Week 6. He also returned one kickoff for 31 yards and ran back one punt for six yards.

Johnson put together a career-best line on a career-high 26 snaps (49 percent), as the early exit of Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) coupled with the absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) opened up plenty of opportunities for Tampa Bay's depth wideouts. Johnson topped off his performance with his first career TD, a 34-yard grab late in the first half. While Evans may return for Monday night's showdown against the Lions in Week 7, Godwin and Egbuka could both miss the contest, meaning Johnson could see an expanded role again.
