Gray reeled in both of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 30-17 win versus the Lions.

Gray hasn't posted any fantasy-worthy stat lines this season, notching no more than three catches in a contest. He's recorded just eight catches for 47 yards overall this season and has yet to reach pay dirt after doing so five times last season. Gray isn't of particular fantasy interest as long as Travis Kelce remains available, but he could spark some interest should Kelce miss any time.

Smith-Schuster hauled in all three of his targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 30-17 victory against the Lions.

Smith-Schuster made the most of his three grabs, tallying 30, 17 and 10 yards on each of them to reach 57 for the day, but that doesn't generate enough fantasy value to warrant using him in the majority of formats. On top of that, Rashee Rice returns this week to reclaim his spot in the slot. With Hollywood Brown claiming a starting role and Tyquan Thornton and second-year wideout Xavier Worthy all vying for playing time, Smith-Schuster is at risk of getting squeezed out of some snaps moving forward.

Mims caught two of three targets for 30 yards and rushed once for minus-two yards in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.

Mims played 21 of the Broncos' 60 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (48), Pat Bryant (35) and Troy Franklin (35). The third-year wideout's 35 percent snap share was his lowest mark of the season. Mims has flashed his play-making ability at times this season, but his inconsistent usage in Denver's offense makes him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 23-year-old will have his next chance to take a step forward in a Week 7 matchup against the Giants, yet he'll continue to face stiff competition for targets in a crowded receiving corps.

Smythe wasn't targeted while playing eight of the Bears' 64 snaps on offense in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.

Smythe has yet to draw a target through five appearances on the season and will continue to be relegated to a limited role as a blocker on offense while fellow tight ends Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland are both available.

Duvernay returned five kickoffs for 120 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.

Though Duvernay has been active for every game this season, his role has been contained exclusively to special teams. He has yet to log a snap on offense through five contests and is averaging 25.0 yards per kickoff return and 11.4 yards per punt return.

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that it remains to be seen if Mitchell (hamstring) will be able to play Sunday against the Vikings, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Mitchell was injured in the first half of last Thursday night's loss to the Giants and was unable to return to the contest. Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson stepped into increased defensive roles alongside Cooper DeJean at cornerback for the Eagles in Mitchell's absence and would likely see elevated roles once again if Mitchell is unable to play against Minnesota.

Smith didn't record a carry but reeled in three of his four targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 30-17 victory versus Detroit.

Smith claimed just six total offensive snaps in this contest and has totaled double-digit offensive snaps just once all season. He remains a reliable weapon as a receiver out of the backfield, handling three catches in each of the last three tilts, but he failed to register a carry Sunday for the first time since the season opener versus the Chargers. Smith converted from wide receiver to running back late in his career at SMU, so it shouldn't be shocking that he excels in the receiving department. The rookie primarily remains a speculative hold in dynasty formats at this juncture.

Bolton recorded seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday night's win over the Lions.

Bolton played all 54 defensive snaps against Detroit and also recorded one QB hit on Jared Goff. The veteran linebacker has piled up 53 tackles (28 solo), including four TFLs, two pass breakups and two QB hits on 99 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps through six starts this season.

Mitchell didn't draw a target while playing 10 of the Panthers' 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

With top tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) inactive for the third game in a row, Mitchell once again suited up as Carolina's No. 3 option at the position behind Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans. Mitchell had recorded three catches for 28 yards between the previous two contests, but he failed to garner any looks from quarterback Bryce Young during his limited time on the field Sunday. Mitchell will likely find himself back on the inactive list for the Panthers' Week 7 game against the Jets if Sanders is cleared to return to action.

Conner piled up 14 tackles (10 solo) and one forced fumble in the Chiefs' win over the Lions on Sunday.

Conner's 14 total tackles and 10 solo tackles marked new career-highs for the third-year defensive back. His forced fumble on Amon-Ra St. Brown in the fourth quarter helped lead to a Lions punt two plays later. On the season, Conner has played more than 99 percent of the defensive snaps, logging 51 tackles (29 solo) and a pair of forced fumbles.
