Helm recorded two receptions on three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.

Helm saw a slight downturn in snap rate relative to his Week 5 performance, as he was on the field for only 49 percent of offensive snaps. He still managed to earn three targets, but he was less involved than veteran tight end Chig Okonkwo. Helm remains inconsistent, though he could see his role expand as the Titans turn their attention to developing Cam Ward and auditioning players for a role in 2026.

Johnson brought in one of his three targets for a 45-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-19 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

The Buccaneers entered the game without Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula), and they then lost Emeka Egbuka to a hamstring injury during the contest. That led to Johnson playing a career-high 38 snaps (72 percent), and he showed off his signature speed on his one reception to catch up to a Baker Mayfield bomb on a post late in the third quarter for his first career touchdown. The rookie could be set for even more work in a Week 7 road showdown against the Lions next Monday night if the team's wide-receiver depth chart remains as atrophied as it is in the immediate wake of Week 6.

Lockett recorded one reception on three targets for no gain in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.

Lockett's snap rate remained depressed for the second straight game, as he was on the field for only 32 percent of offensive snaps. He was still targeted three times, though his lone catch went for no gain. Lockett has posted at least 10 receiving yards in a game only once this season.

Dike recorded two receptions on three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders. He also returned three kickoffs for 66 yards.

It was a mixed performance for Dike, who recorded a career-best 54 percent offensive snap rate. However, he earned only three targets and was inefficient with the opportunity. Dike has now been held to single-digit yards from scrimmage in five of six games this season.

Moore was transported to a hospital following Monday night's game against the Commanders, and he will be held overnight for precautionary medical evaluation, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

The details surrounding Moore's admission to the hospital are unclear. He briefly spent time in the medical tent in the first half but was back on the field after halftime and well into the fourth quarter. Coach Ben Johnson is expected to provide further details about Moore's status at some point on Tuesday afternoon.

Pitts had three receptions (on four targets) for 18 yards in Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills.

Pitts followed up his best performance of the season against the Commanders (5-70-1) with his lowest fantasy score to date on Monday Night Football. Michael Penix was keyed in on Drake London (10-158-1) and Bijan Robinson (6-68-0) in the passing game, leaving scraps for Pitts and the rest of Atlanta's auxiliary options. Pitts still carries a modest 23-223-1 receiving line into a Week 7 road tilt against the 49ers on Sunday.

Burden finished with four receptions on as many targets for 51 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over Washington.

Burden bounced back nicely from the disappointing two-catch performance we saw prior to Chicago's Week 5 bye. The rookie slot receiver finished with more receiving yards than DJ Moore (42) and Rome Odunze (32) as QB Caleb Williams distributed the ball more evenly amongst his talented group of receivers Monday. Burden's production has fluctuated wildly on a week-to-week basis, making it hard to bank on his production against the Saints in Week 7.

Knox brought in one of two targets for a 19-yard touchdown in the Bills' 24-14 loss to the Falcons on Monday night.

The veteran tight end rose to the top of the depth chart Monday night due to Dalton Kincaid (oblique) being inactive, but Knox ultimately garnered a minimal amount of Josh Allen's attention. Nevertheless, Knox made good on his one opportunity, getting into the end zone with 8:01 remaining in the first quarter to erase an early 7-0 deficit. The score was Knox's first since Week 6 of last season, but his run as the No. 1 option at the position may be limited to just Monday's game since Kincaid figures to have a good chance of getting healthy over Buffalo's Week 7 bye.

Moore brought in three of five targets for 42 yards while adding 10 rushing yards on two attempts in Monday's 25-24 win over Washington.

Moore finished in a tie with fellow starter Rome Odunze with both players recording five targets apiece in Monday's win. The former had the superior fantasy score when factoring in his work as a rusher. Moore has been a bit of a letdown in fantasy with his 19-215-1 receiving line across five starts. The 28-year-old still is providing enough of a floor for his managers to warrant starting against the Saints on Sunday.

McCaffrey brought in his only target for a 33-yard touchdown and returned four kickoffs for 127 yards in the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

McCaffrey got wide open down the left side of the field in the third quarter for his touchdown, erasing a 16-10 deficit in the process. The second-year wideout also had a splash play on his only catch Week 5 against the Chargers, with that reception covering a season-high 50 yards. Despite his obvious big-play potential, McCaffrey has notably seen only three targets over the last two games with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) missing from those contests, keeping his fantasy value limited to deep leagues and large-field DFS tournaments in a Week 7 road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.
