Tonges corralled six of seven targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to Tampa Bay.

Tonges continued doing his best George Kittle (hamstring) impression in another effective spot-start Sunday. The 25-year-old Tonges has been a pleasant surprise in fantasy during his brief run as the starter, posting a 25-223-3 receiving line through six games. David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reported that Kittle could return from injured reserve in Week 7, which would effectively end Tonges' run of utility. Managers should wait until Kittle is officially activated before making any rash decisions regarding Tonges in Week 7 and onward.

Renfrow caught one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

Although Renfrow underwhelmed again in the Week 6 win, his only catch came on a crucial fourth-down conversion late in the fourth quarter that helped set up the Panthers' game-winning field goal. The veteran wideout from Clemson has now caught just four of seven targets for 24 yards over Carolina's last three games, and his role is expected to diminish even further once Jalen Coker (quadriceps) returns from injured reserve.

Myers went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jaguars.

Myers made field goals from 24 and 53 yards, getting back on track after missing his only field-goal try in Week 5. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in four of the team's six contests this year, and he'll look to continue to deliver on his opportunities in Week 7 versus Houston on Monday Night Football.

Szmyt went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers.

Szmyt accounted for all of Cleveland's offense in Week 6, making field goals from 31, 53 and 32 yards in the defeat. The kicker has now gone 9-for-11 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while making seven of eight PATs over six games this season.

Etienne rushed three times for 17 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

The rookie running back from Georgia continued to work in a reserve role, as Rico Dowdle tallied 239 total yards and a touchdown on 34 touches in the Panthers' Week 6 win. Etienne has now rushed 15 times for 76 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards over his first six games as a pro. He's expected to remain a depth option in Carolina's backfield while operating as the team's kick and punt returner in a Week 7 matchup against the Jets.

Meyers finished with four receptions on as many targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.

Meyers' recent struggles continued, as he failed to eclipse 40 receiving yards for the third week running. At least the Raiders were able to pick up a win after losing their previous two contests during the wideout's current slump. Las Vegas is still without the services of star TE Brock Bowers (knee), so Meyers needs to step up his play for both his team and frustrated fantasy managers. Perhaps Meyers can turn his disappointing campaign around if he can find the end zone for the first time in 2025 against the Chiefs next Sunday.

Horn caught both of his targets for 36 yards and rushed once for 11 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

The 2025 sixth-round pick from Colorado has been increasingly involved in Carolina's offense over the past two weeks, catching four of his five targets for 57 yards and rushing three times for 21 yards. Horn led all Panthers wideouts in receiving yards during Sunday's win, suggesting he's already carved out a meaningful role in the offense. Although Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is likely returning from injury soon, Horn is expected to be a key part of the Carolina's offensive game plan in a Week 7 matchup against the Jets.

Pollard carried the ball 10 times for 34 yards while adding two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Las Vegas.

Pollard finished with his worst fantasy score of the season in a seemingly promising matchup against the Raiders defense. The veteran starter still led Tennessee's backfield with 10 carries, finishing five ahead of backup Tyjae Spears. Pollard's reduced touches were rather the result of a poor game script as opposed to a changing of the guard in Tennessee's backfield. Fantasy managers should continue treating Pollard as a potential flex option against the Patriots next Sunday.

Tremble caught all four of his targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

The Notre Dame product served as the Panthers' No. 1 tight end for the third consecutive week while Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) remained out with an injury. Tremble capitalized on the opportunity, finishing with the second-most receiving yards on the team during Sunday's win. While Sanders has been sidelined, Tremble has managed to catch 10 of his 14 targets for 88 yards and one touchdown. Although he's impressed with a larger offensive role, Sanders is likely to return for Carolina's Week 7 matchup against the Jets, which is expected to make Tremble a reserve option once again.

Metcalf recorded four receptions on nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.

Metcalf remained Aaron Rodgers' top target, leading the team in targets and yards. All four of his catches went for 20 yards or more, highlighted by a 25-yard score down the right sideline to kick off the fourth quarter. Even with an additional missed opportunity for a long touchdown due to an underthrow by Rodgers, Metcalf has found the end zone in each of his last four games and has topped 80 receiving yards in three of five contests to begin his tenure with the Steelers.
