Westbrook-Ikhine failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.

Westbrook-Ikhine played a 37 percent of offensive snaps versus Los Angeles, but he finished with zero receiving yards for the third time in his last four appearances. Even with Tyreek Hill (IR, knee) out for the year, Westbrook-Ikhineappears to still be an afterthought on offense for the Dolphins, with all of Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, tight end Darren Waller and running back De'Von Achane clearly positioned above him. Westbrook-Ikhine figures to remain in a reserve role on the road against Cleveland in Week 7.

Hooper, who logged 41 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target for five yards.

With just two catches on as many targets for 29 yards over his last three games, Hooper is off the fantasy radar as long as fellow TE Hunter Henry remains in the Patriots' lineup.

Egbuka (hamstring) is expected to miss time due to the hamstring injury that forced him out of Sunday's 30-19 win over the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Egbuka secured two of four targets for 24 yards before being forced out Sunday, a contest in which the Buccaneers were missing Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula), as well as top running back Bucky Irving (shoulder). It would be a significant blow for the offense if Egbuka is unable to return for a road Monday Night Football matchup against the Lions in Week 7, as the rookie phenom has racked up a 25-445-5 line on 38 targets. With Egbuka, Evans and Godwin all uncertain to play, Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, Kameron Johnson and tight end Cade Otton could be positioned as Baker Mayfield's top receiving options versus Detroit.

Henry was on the field for 53 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, en route to catching all three of his targets for 27 yards.

Through six games, Henry has maintained steady playing time while recording a 20-277-3 receiving line on 31 targets. Though his volume has tapered off over his last three outings, the tight end remains a viable red-zone option for QB Drake Maye and a candidate to see increased targets on any given week, when game script and/or game flow dictate.

Washington secured four of five targets for 22 yards and carried the ball once for one yard during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.

Washington remains consistently involved on offense, having drawn five targets in four of his six regular-season appearances to begin the year, and he's also been involved as a ball-carrier in all but one game. That said, Washington hasn't done much with those opportunities, as he's yet to score or log a 50-yard performance on offense this season. He'll have a difficult task improving his efficiency on the road against a stingy Browns defense in Week 7. In fantasy formats that reward production on special teams, however, Washington carries sneaky upside, as he racked up 153 yards on five kickoff returns versus Los Angeles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
