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.

Legette caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

Since returning from injury in Carolina's Week 5 win over the Dolphins, Legette has been targeted just five times, catching four passes for 42 yards and a touchdown over the team's last two games. He was outpaced by rookie wideouts Tetairoa McMillan (3-39-2) and Jimmy Horn (2-36-0), finishing sixth on the team in receiving yards during Sunday's victory. Although the second-year pro continues to operate as the Panthers' No. 2 wide receiver, his involvement has been limited, with most of the team's offensive production coming from McMillan and Rico Dowdle. Legette draws another great matchup in Week 7 against a struggling Jets defense, but he's still unlikely to make a meaningful fantasy impact.

Bourne finished with five receptions on nine targets for 142 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

Fresh off posting a career-best 142 receiving yards against the Rams in Week 5, Bourne likely made his managers double take at the box score after hitting that same mark in consecutive contests. The 29-year-old has shown great chemistry with old teammate Mac Jones, as the former Patriots continue to post video-game numbers filling in for injured 49ers starters in 2025. Bourne continued starting in place of Ricky Pearsall (knee) while Jauan Jennings (ribs) returned in a limited capacity but revealed that he was playing with five broken ribs after the contest. If Pearsall is forced to miss a third consecutive game in Week 7, then Bourne's stock would remain elevated for next Sunday's tilt against the Falcons.

Joseph (knee) has returned to action in Sunday night's matchup with Kansas City, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Joseph was briefly sidelined with a knee injury, but the safety has since made his way back to the field. The 24-year-old has compiled two solo tackles so far in the game.
