Efton Chism III WR | NE
Patriots' Efton Chism: Contributes as returner
Chism was on the field for two of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Sunday's contest represented the regular-season debut for Chism, who made his mark while logging 12 special teams snaps and returned five kickoffs for 129 yards. The rookie wideout could keep the primary kickoff returner role with Antonio Gibson out for the season due to a torn ACL.

Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Rough showing in Week 6 loss
Gordon carried the ball twice for one yard during Miami's 29-27 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Gordon once again struggled to display efficiency while operating as the Dolphins' top reserve backfield option, while starter De'Von Achane gashed Los Angeles with 16 carries for 128 rushing yards (8.0 YPC) and two scores, adding four grabs for 22 yards in the receiving game (six targets). At this stage, Gordon retains fantasy value purely as a handcuff in deeper formats, as his availability has rendered Jaylen Wright a healthy scratch. The rookie sixth-round pick faces a rough matchup on the road against Cleveland in Week 7.

Kaleb Johnson RB | GB
Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Records another six carries in win
Johnson rushed six times for 15 yards during Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.
Johnson saw six carries during the Steelers' Week 4 win over the Vikings, and he saw a similar workload following Pittsburgh's Week 5 bye. Jaylen Warren continues to serve as the team's clear lead back, but Johnson has seen slightly more opportunities over the past two games. The 22-year-old's 11 offensive snaps still lagged behind Warren (31) and Kenneth Gainwell (20), and Johnson's fantasy value will likely remain limited as long as those two remain healthy.

Van Jefferson WR | WAS
Titans' Van Jefferson: Season-best numbers in loss
Jefferson secured four of six targets for 75 yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.
Jefferson recorded more offensive yardage in Week 6 than during the prior five games his year combined, as he played a season-high 75 percent of the offensive snaps. His increased involvement came as the result of Calvin Ridley (hamstring) being forced off the field early in the first quarter. If Ridley is limited or unable to play in Week 7 versus the Patriots then Jefferson, rookie fourth-rounder wideout Elic Ayomanor and tight end Chig Okonkwo could all benefit from an uptick in target share.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Patriots' Mack Hollins: Two catches Sunday
Hollins, who logged 35 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught two of three targets for 28 yards.
Through the Patriots' first six contests, Hollins has turned in a 9-70-2 receiving line on 12 targets. As this coming Sunday's game against the Titans approaches, Hollins is only a fantasy consideration in deep formats.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Injury update coming Wednesday
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Wilson (knee) is having his injury evaluated and that the team will provide an update on his health Wednesday.
Wilson is slated to undergo an MRI after having sustained a knee injury during Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London in which he logged just three catches for 13 yards on eight targets. He received an X-ray after the contest, though it appears further evaluation will be necessary to fully diagnose the severity of his injury. With the No. 1 receiver's status potentially up in the air for Week 7 against the Panthers, Justin Fields and New York's struggling passing offense may have to lean on wideouts Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard (personal), in addition to rookie tight end Mason Taylor.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Expected to miss time
Nacua (ankle) is expected to miss time due to the left ankle sprain he sustained during Sunday's 17-3 win at Baltimore, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Nacua secured two of three targets for 28 yards before being forced out of Sunday's win over the Ravens early in the second quarter, and while he was able to return to the road matchup after halftime, he didn't record any further offensive statistics. The star wideout appears to be trending in the wrong direction to suit up against the Jaguars in London in Week 7, after which the Rams will benefit from a Week 8 bye. If Nacua indeed misses any time, Davante Adams will step into the spotlight as Los Angeles' clear No. 1 wideout, while Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell (hamstring) and tight end Tyler Higbee could all inherit expanded roles.

Carson Schwesinger LB | CLE
Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Another active game in loss
Schwesinger recorded eight tackles, including one for a loss, and one quarterback hit in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6.
Schwesinger continued to rack up tackles and leads the Browns with 52 over the first six games. He's led the defense in three of those six contests but took a back seat to Devin Bush (nine) on Sunday.

Devin Bush LB | CHI
Browns' Devin Bush: Paces defense in loss
Bush recorded nine tackles, including seven solo and two for a loss, in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6.
Bush lead the Browns with a season-high nine stops against the team that drafted him in 2019. He and rookie Carson Schwesinger are helping make up for the loss of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck). Schwesinger leads Cleveland with 52 tackles followed by Bush's 45, which includes 28 solo stops.

Tyson Campbell CB | CLE
Browns' Tyson Campbell: Active in Cleveland debut
Campbell had five tackles, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-9 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 6.
Campbell started and played 53 snaps (90 percent) in his debut for the Browns, which acquired him from Jacksonville earlier in the week. He made an impact on the game's first play, chasing down the Steelers' Darnell Washington from behind and forcing a fumble that eventually bounced out of bounds. He has a combined 39 tackles, eight passes defensed and two forced fumbles over six games.
