Davante Adams WR | LAR
Jets' Davante Adams: Fully participating in walk-through
Adams (hamstring) will be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Adams last played Week 3 before the Raiders traded him to the Jets on Tuesday. He was able to pass a physical Tuesday before the trade became official, and his participation in Wednesday's session -- albeit a walk-through -- has the wideout trending toward playing Sunday against the Steelers, which interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich all but confirmed earlier Wednesday. Assuming he experiences no setbacks with his hamstring as the week progresses, Adams should head into the weekend without an injury designation. Though the Jets acquired Adams with the expectation that he'll combine with Garrett Wilson to form one of the top wideout duos in the NFL, it's unclear how much playing time or involvement in the game plan that Adams will get in his New York debut.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Set for non-contact practice
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (concussion) has made "good progress" and will practice Wednesday while wearing a non-contact jeresey, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Daboll said Nabers is "much better," and the rookie first-round pick will be set to handle his first reps at practice since having suffered a concussion Sept. 26 in a loss to the Cowboys. Even if Nabers is listed as at least a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, he'll still likely need to upgrade to full activity Thursday and/or Friday in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist before he's removed from the concussion protocol. If cleared, Nabers shouldn't face any limitations during Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Bills' Curtis Samuel: Three catches against Jets
Samuel caught three of four targets for 44 yards in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.
Samuel's 44 receiving yards in the contest were a season high for the veteran. The 28-year-old wideout played just 25 of the Bills 69 offensive snaps, behind Mack Hollins (46), Keon Coleman (44) and Khalil Shakir (26). Samuel will likely see his playing time take even more of a hit going forward with the Bills acquisition of Amari Cooper from a trade with the Browns on Tuesday. This muddying of the target distribution in Buffalo's passing attack should push Samuel further off the fantasy radar. The Bills are set to host the Titans in Week 7.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Bills' Mack Hollins: Hits pay dirt in win
Hollins caught one of his two targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.
Hollins played 46 of the Bills' 69 offensive snaps Monday, the most of any Buffalo wide receiver in the contest. The veteran's trip to the end zone was his second score of the season and saved what would have otherwise been a disaster of a day for fantasy purposes. With the Bills acquiring Amari Cooper from the Browns on Tuesday, Hollins will likely see a decrease in playing time once Cooper is up to speed with the offense.

Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN
Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Two grabs in win
Iosivas caught two of three targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants.
Iosivas continued to operate as the Bengals' No. 3. wideout behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. As long as Chase and Higgins are healthy, the 25-year-old Iosivas should continue to see limited targets in Cincinnati's passing attack.

Roman Wilson WR | PIT
Steelers' Roman Wilson: Limited action in debut
Wilson didn't draw a target while playing just five of the Steelers' 67 offensive snaps in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Wilson made his NFL debut Week 6 after recovering from an ankle injury that caused him to miss the majority of training camp and the beginning of the 2024 campaign. The Steelers coaching staff decided to ease Wilson into action with a light snap count, but as the rookie from Michigan begins to get more acclimated, his playing time could increase.

Scott Miller WR | CHI
Steelers' Scotty Miller: No targets against Raiders
Miller failed to record a single target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Miller played just 14 of the Steelers' 67 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 4 receiver behind George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin. The veteran wideout has now failed to record a target in five out of six games so far in 2024. Miller should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Jets.

Calvin Austin III WR | NYG
Steelers' Calvin Austin: Two grabs in win
Austin caught two of five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Austin's five targets Sunday matched a season high, while his 36 percent offensive snap share was a season low. The 25-year-old ranked second in targets among all pass catchers in the contest, but the wideout was unable to get much going with his opportunities. Heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Jets, it's possible that a potential change at quarterback from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson could impact Austin positively, but fantasy managers should exercise caution before trying to fit him into lineups based on his inconsistent usage and production so far in 2024.
-
Van Jefferson WR | WAS
Steelers' Van Jefferson: Not targeted against Raiders
Jefferson failed to record a single target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Jefferson was held without a target for the second time in 2024, despite playing 64 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday. It's possible that a change at quarterback could benefit Jefferson with Russell Wilson preparing to start in Week 7. Nonetheless, the veteran wideout will be difficult to trust heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Jets.

Jalen Brooks WR | ARI
Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Targeted six times
Brooks caught one of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.
Brooks saw a significant bump in his usage Sunday, playing 49 of the Cowboys' 69 offensive snaps. The second-year receiver's 71 percent snap share and six targets were both season highs, though it bears mentioning that a significant amount of his playing time came while the Cowboys were facing a big deficit in the second half. Even with fellow wideout Brandin Cooks (knee) on injured reserve, Brooks will likely struggle to see consistent volume in the passing game in more competitive contests.
