Christian Kirk WR | SF
Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Three catches in London defeat
Kirk brought in three of six targets for 39 yards in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London.
Kirk finished third in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Jaguars with his lowest totals in the first two categories since Week 2. The veteran wideout still drew an appreciable amount of Trevor Lawrence's attention, however, and Kirk certainly has the ability to bounce back against an inconsistent Patriots defense in a Week 7 matchup at Wembley Stadium.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Pair of touchdown grabs in loss
Davis brought in five of eight targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London.
Davis finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Evan Engram on the afternoon, but he was on the receiving end of both of Trevor Lawrence's pair of scoring tosses. The 21- and five-yard touchdown grabs in the second half marked Davis' first pair of visits to the end zone as a member of the Jaguars after coming over from the Bills this offseason, and he'll have a chance to build on what was a season-high reception tally against the Patriots in Jacksonville's second consecutive London matchup Week 7.

Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Deemed questionable for MNF
Shakir (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jets after practicing in a limited fashion Saturday.
After being listed as a non-participant on Thursday and Friday's practice reports, Shakir was able to return to the field in some capacity Saturday. While Shakir's status won't be confirmed until Buffalo's inactive list is revealed 90 minutes ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, fellow receivers Curtis Samuel (toe) and Mack Hollins (shoulder) both upgraded to full participation Saturday and don't carry Week 6 injury designations.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Suffers concussion Sunday
Olave won't return to Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers due to a concussion.
Olave hauled in a pass from QB Spencer Rattler in the first quarter, after which he took a hit to his upper body. The ball was knocked out of Olave's hands as he was pulled to the turf, and Bucs safety Antoine Winfield picked it up and took it to the house for a defensive touchdown. After making his way to the sideline, Olave visited the medical tent and then went to the locker room for a concussion check, which eventually was confirmed. With a short week on tap for a matchup with Broncos on Thursday Night Football, he'll be hard-pressed to be available Week 7.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Bears' Keenan Allen: Breakout effort in London win
Allen brought in all five targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London.
The veteran wideout finally had his first truly productive showing in a Bears uniform, with Allen securing touchdown grabs of nine and three yards in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. Allen finished tied with Cole Kmet for the team lead in receptions and second to his teammate in receiving yards while posting season-high totals in both categories. Allen's fantasy value is still likely to be capped on the weeks he doesn't get into the end zone, but Sunday's performance at least affords him some much-needed momentum heading into a Week 7 bye.

Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Solid yardage total in victory
Odunze caught two passes for 40 yards in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
In a game that Caleb Williams spread the ball around to his top five options, there wasn't enough volume for Odunze to have a big performance. Other than a 112-yard effort in Week 3, the rookie has yet to have more than 40 yards in a game. He's settling in as a low-upside option based on lack of consistent target volume.

Xavier Weaver WR | ARI
Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Active for first time in career
Weaver is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Weaver missed the first two games of the season due to an oblique injury and was a healthy scratch for the past three contests. However, with Zay Jones (hamstring/suspension) unavailable again, the undrafted rookie out of Colorado will get a chance to suit up. Weaver is expected to operate primarily on special teams.
-
Javon Baker WR | SF
Patriots' Javon Baker: Inactive Sunday
Baker is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
With Baker once again a healthy scratch and Tyquan Thornton also inactive, Ja'Lynn Polk, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn and Kayshon Boutte are the Patriots' active wide receivers versus Houston.
-
Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Inactive for Week 6
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Walker has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut. The rookie fourth-round pick remains behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Deonte Harty on Baltimore's wideout depth chart.

Josh Downs WR | IND
Colts' Josh Downs: Good to go Sunday
Downs (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Indianapolis will have both of its top two wideouts available for Week 6, as Downs and Michael Pittman (back) are slated to play despite carrying questionable tags into the weekend. Downs missed a pair of practices to begin Week 6 prep, but since he finished with a full practice Friday, he shouldn't be subject to any restrictions with his snaps Sunday. For the second week in a row, Downs will be working with Joe Flacco at quarterback, as Anthony Richardson will get another game off while he continues to manage an oblique injury. While Flacco was under center for last week's loss to Jacksonville, Downs reeled in nine of his season-high 12 targets for 69 yards.
