  • Kalif Raymond WR | DET

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Limited action in Week 6

    Raymond didn't garner a target during Sunday night's 30-17 loss to Kansas City.

    Raymond was cleared to play after suffering a neck injury in Week 5, but he only logged two snaps on offense and one snap with the special-teams unit. The wide receiver will look to be more involved Week 7 versus the Buccaneers after having an additional week to return to form following his injury.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Appears to avoid serious injury

    Wilson (knee) underwent an MRI on Monday and appears to have avoided a serious injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    However, Wilson is potentially looking at some missed time, according to Cimini. The star wideout played through the injury during Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London, but now that the adrenaline has worn off, Wilson could miss some game action. The Jets have two more games before their Week 9 bye. If Wilson were to miss Weeks 7 and 8 against the Panthers and Bengals, New York would be left with a hodgepodge crew of Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard (personal) and Tyler Johnson leading the wide receiver depth chart.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Estimated as DNP on Monday

    Austin (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Coach Mike Tomlin said earlier Monday that Austin is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Bengals after he missed the Week 6 win over the Browns following his injury in Week 4. Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek would be in line for increased offensive snaps against Cincinnati if Austin is unable to play, but none of that aforementioned trio would carry any sort of fantasy value in season-long leagues.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Playing time trending up

    Hopkins had two catches for 20 yards on four targets Sunday against the Rams.

    Baltimore's passing game was limited under the direction of Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley on Sunday, but an underlying detail from the game was Hopkins' playing time ticking up. Hopkins played a season-high 26 snaps, which was good for 33 percent of the plays. He also had a season-high four targets. Baltimore is on a bye in Week 7, but given that Hopkins has been excellent on a per-target basis (13.7 YPT), it would not be surprising to see his role continue on an upward trend, especially when Lamar Jackson returns.

  • Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET

    Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Blanked in Week 6

    TeSlaa didn't garner a target in Sunday night's 30-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    TeSlaa played a season-high 25 snaps on offense, but he didn't see a target for the second time in three weeks. The wide receiver continues to be a non-factor from a fantasy perspective this season, operating as a depth option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Through six games, TeSlaa has caught three of five targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Held to one catch Sunday

    Bateman had one catch for eight yards on two targets Sunday against the Rams.

    Lamar Jackson's absence continued to be a massive limiting factor on the Baltimore passing game Sunday. However, Bateman's involvement waned a bit Sunday as he played just 56 percent of the snaps, a season-low. His cold stretch precedes Jackson's absence, too. His best game thus far was five catches for 63 yards and a score against the Lions in Week 3. Outside of that game, Bateman has six catches for 57 yards on the year. The Ravens are on a bye in Week 7, and the hope is that the impending Jackson return will revitalize the floundering Baltimore offense.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Just one target in loss

    Tolbert caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.

    While the fourth-year wideout saw a 91 percent snap share on offense, that didn't translate into any kind of meaningful pass volume for a second straight contest, as Ryan Flournoy (9-144-0 in 15 targets in those two games) has clearly surpassed Tolbert as a trusted target for Dak Prescott. Tolbert's role figures to shrink further once CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) return, and it wouldn't be a shock if he got bumped from the regular game-day roster completely at that point.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | WAS

    Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Expected to play Monday

    Samuel (heel) is expected to be active for Monday night's game against the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The Commanders haven't yet made an official decision about Samuel's status since listing him as questionable on Saturday's injury report, per Commanders writer Ben Standig, but he appears to be trending in the right direction for Monday Night Football. As such, the final word on his availability may not arrive until roughly 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. With wide receivers Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) already ruled out for Monday, Samuel looks positioned for a significant workload as Washington's clear No. 1 WR if cleared to suit up versus Chicago.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Season-high three catches

    Whittington secured three of four targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 17-3 victory against the Ravens.

    In the wake of Puka Nacua (ankle) missing a considerable portion of the contest due to an ankle sprain, it was the second-year pro Whittington who saw the biggest uptick in play time, leading all Rams' wide receivers with 49 snaps on offense. The expanded stint on the field only led to a small uptick in Whittington's stat line, although he did set season-highs in catches and targets. If Nacua were to miss any time with his injury, it appears as though Whittington is most likely to step in alongside Davante Adams and assume a larger role, especially if Tutu Atwell (hamstring) isn't 100 percent next week against the Jaguars.

  • Jake Bobo WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Minimal usage continues

    Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-12 in over the Jaguars.

    Bobo has been targeted just once over his first five games, and he has averaged just 11.2 offensive snaps per game. As long as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and rookie Tory Horton are healthy, Bobo won't have fantasy utility.
