Mayer brought in seven of nine targets for 95 yards in the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Mayer set a new single-game career high in receiving yards while outpacing position mate Brock Bowers by 25 yards in the high-scoring loss. Mayer's reception total was a team high for Las Vegas on the afternoon and served as the fourth-year pro's second best of the season. There clearly appears to be consistent room for both athletic tight ends in head coach Klint Kubiak's offense, especially with the Raiders' receiving corps lacking some depth and experience behind Tre Tucker.

Coleman brought in four of six targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Coleman led the Bills in receiving yards on the afternoon with the help of a 21-yard grab and a 12-yard touchdown reception with just over six minutes remaining in the third quarter. The score was Coleman's third of the season, with the previous two having come in each of the prior pair of contests against the Patriots and Rams. The oft-maligned 2024 second-round pick appears to be picking up some momentum in his third season, as Coleman already has a 19-283-3 line on 24 targets while helping make up for the multiple absences of DJ Moore (shoulder).

Shakir brought in four of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Shakir posted his second-lowest yardage figure of the season, but the talented veteran recorded his first touchdown of the campaign on a nine-yard grab just past the midway point of the second quarter. Shakir's target total also tied for his second highest of the campaign, a figure he'd reached on two other occasions. The fifth-year pro should continue to garner his fair share of Josh Allen's attention moving forward, although Shakir's targets could take a slight hit if DJ Moore (shoulder) returns for a Week 8 home matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 1, following a Week 7 bye.

Cousins completed 23 of 41 passes for 313 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Cousins completed a season-low 56.1 percent of his passes, but the veteran signal-caller went toe to toe with Josh Allen and nearly helped Las Vegas force overtime, at minimum, with a 17-point fourth quarter. Cousins first led a 15-play, 70-yard march that culminated in a Matt Gay field goal beginning in the latter portion of the third quarter, and he subsequently recorded 11- and 44-yard scoring strikes to Tre Tucker. While the Raiders came up just short, Cousins posted his second-highest passing yardage tally of the campaign and threw multiple TD passes for the fifth time in six contests. Cousins will face off with another marquee passer in Matthew Stafford when the Rams pay a visit for a Week 7 interconference showdown Sunday.

McKee completed 26 of 45 passes for 215 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding one carry for no gain in the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

McKee's completion total was impressive, but he averaged a modest 4.8 yards per attempt on the afternoon despite having DeVonta Smith back from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. McKee's longest completion of the day went for 19 yards to Smith on a fourth-quarter scoring strike, which brought Philadelphia to within five at the time. McKee ultimately wasn't able to complete the comeback in the first installment of what figures to be an extended starting assignment in place of Jalen Hurts (IR, calf), and he'll look to be more aggressive during a Week 7 home divisional clash with the Cowboys next Monday night.

Pierce rushed 12 times for 35 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 15 yards in the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Pierce handled all the running back carries for the Eagles with all of Saquon Barkley (hamstring), Tank Bigsby (IR, abdomen) and Will Shipley (IR, foot) unavailable. As his rushing line suggests, Pierce found running room mostly at a premium, but he managed his first touchdown on the ground since the 2024 season on a two-yard run late in the first half. Pierce also was surprisingly involved as a receiver with Tanner McKee quarterbacking the offense, and the veteran back will remain in a similar role in a Week 7 home matchup against the Cowboys next Monday night if Barkley remains out.

Coker brought in six of 13 targets for 97 yards in the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Carolina.

Making his return from a one-game absence due to a quadriceps injury, Coker picked up right where he left off while tying for the team lead in receptions and setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. Coker also had a game-long 32-yard catch, and he now has at least six grabs in three of his first four games. With a 24-319-2 line through four contests, the speedy third-year wideout is well on his way to setting new career bests as he heads into a Week 7 home matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Young completed 20 of 39 passes for 281 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added three rushes for six yards in the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Young's pair of scoring tosses went to Tommy Tremble from 12 and 19 yards out in the second and fourth quarter, respectively. The 2023 first overall pick's multi-touchdown effort was his fourth of the season, and Young hasn't thrown for fewer than Sunday's total in any of his five games while also generating a stellar 11:2 TD:INT. Young and the Panthers next take aim at the Buccaneers defense when Tampa Bay pays a visit for a Week 7 divisional showdown on Sunday.

Penix completed 19 of 33 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions while rushing once for one yard in the Falcons' 31-23 loss to the Bears on Sunday. He also threw two two-point conversion passes.

Penix and the Falcons faced a 28-7 deficit going into the fourth quarter, but he helped bring Atlanta back with 10- and five-yard scoring tosses to Kyle Pitts and subsequent two-point conversion passes to Zachariah Branch and Drake London, respectively. Penix also connected with Jahan Dotson for 13-yard scoring strike in the latter portion of the second quarter, and Sunday's game served as Penix's first multi-TD-pass effort of the season. The third-year signal-caller had also visited the medical tent in the first quarter for an undisclosed issue, but Penix appears to be healthy heading into a Week 7 home showdown against the 49ers on Sunday.

Odunze brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Odunze was third in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon, but considering Caleb Williams recorded 30 completions for 305 yards, the wideout's numbers were modest. Odunze has three or fewer catches in all but one game to date in 2026, and his spotty efficiency can sometimes be a hindrance to him maximizing his fantasy potential. Odunze will look to build on his numbers in a Week 7 home matchup against a talented Patriots secondary Thursday night.
