Valdes-Scantling had two receptions (on three targets) for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

Valdes-Scantling wound up playing 42 snaps (61 percent) on offense while serving as the No. 3 receiver against Tampa Bay. The 30-year-old more than doubled his entire season production in Sunday's game, which highlights his lack of usage through six weeks. Valdes-Scantling will look to stay involved against the Falcons next Sunday, but there's little to see from a fantasy perspective.

Brooks tallied nine total tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.

The 2020 first-round pick finished second on the Dolphins in total tackles during Sunday's loss, trailing K.J. Britt's 13-stop performance. Brooks has had an incredible start to his second season in Miami, recording a league-leading 66 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, through six weeks. He's expected to remain one of fantasy's top IDP options when the Dolphins face the Browns in Week 7.

Britt recorded 13 total tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.

With Tyrel Dodson (concussion) sidelined for the Week 6 contest, Britt played a season-high 61 defensive snaps and led the Dolphins in tackles. The veteran linebacker from Auburn has now tallied 20 total tackles over Miami's first six games this season, playing just 84 defensive snaps. He could draw another start in the Dolphins' Week 7 matchup against the Browns if Dodson is unable to clear concussion protocol.

Hill secured all three of his targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.

Hill drew the same target total as top tight end Darren Waller (2-12-1) during Sunday's loss. While Waller figures to more consistently see the higher target share at the TE position going forward and dominate high-value looks, Hill has benefited from an increased role the wake of the season-ending injury suffered by Tyreek Hill (IR, knee). That said, Miami's passing game figures to have a tough time producing on the road against the Browns in Week 7.

Bethune recorded 10 total tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

The second-year pro from Florida State had played just three defensive snaps all season prior to Fred Warner's (ankle) injury in the first quarter of Sunday's loss. Bethune made the most of his opportunity, finishing with a career-high and team-leading 10 total tackles across 42 defensive snaps in Week 6. With Warner expected to miss substantial time, Bethune is likely to step in as the 49ers' starting middle linebacker for the remainder of the season.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Monday that Turpin (foot) is among injured players who "have a chance" to retake the field Sunday versus the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Turpin has missed back-to-back games due to a lingering foot injury, and he hasn't yet practiced in any capacity in that span. If he's able to resume getting in at least limited on-field reps during Week 7 prep, it seems he'll have a fair shot at returning for Sunday's divisional matchup. Star wideout CeeDee Lamb (ankle) reportedly also has a chance to get back on the field against Washington.

Hendrickson is considered day-to-day after sustaining a back injury in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hendrickson received positive results on his MRI and likely has a chance to play in Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Steelers. The veteran edge rusher has appeared in all six of Cincinnati's games this season, recording 15 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. His practice estimation Monday and Tuesday will likely provide a better indication on his availability for the Week 7 contest.

Moore logged three snaps (four percent) on offense and did not record a touch while generating 134 return yards on six combined attempts in Sunday's 30-19 loss to Tampa Bay.

Moore reverted to primarily operating as the 49ers' punt and kick returner after recording at least one target or one carry over his previous three appearances. The 24-year-old has just one reception for 10 yards in six appearances this season, leaving no room for fantasy utility. The song will remain the same for Moore in next Sunday's tilt against Atlanta.

Lloyd tallied three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.

Following an impressive Week 5 performance in which Lloyd tallied two solo tackles and a 99-yard pick-six, he played just 14 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss. The 2022 first-round pick from Utah has now recorded 28 total tackles and four interceptions over 246 defensive snaps through the Jags' first six games this season. Although he had an underwhelming Week 6 showing, Lloyd is expected to start alongside Foyesade Oluokun in Jacksonville's linebacker corps in the Week 7 matchup against the Rams.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Hudson is in the league's concussion protocol, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) going down on the opening drive against the Packers on Sunday, Hudson played elevated offensive snaps and secured four of five targets for 10 yards and one touchdown. Hudson now is injured and looking unlikely to play Thursday night against the Steelers. If Hudson and Gesicki, who is expected to be out for "a while," can't play against Pittsburgh, Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy would likely handle tight-end duties for the Bengals.
