Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Four catches in Week 6
Raymond caught four of six targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
Raymond played 24 offensive snaps in the victory over Dallas, his highest total since Week 2, and he turned his added opportunities into a season high in both catches and yardage. Entering play Sunday, the wide receiver had only seen five total targets on the year, and he still remains buried behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick on Detroit's depth chart. Through five games in 2024, Raymond has caught eight of 11 targets for 109 yards.

Tim Patrick WR | NYJ
Lions' Tim Patrick: Three catches in win
Patrick caught all three of his targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
Patrick has established himself as the No. 3 wide receiver for the Lions this season, setting season highs in catches and yards against Dallas. The 30-year-old has yet to find the end zone this year and he came up just short with an eight-yard reception in the second quarter, which was originally called a touchdown on the field before being overturned. Patrick has now compiled eight catches for 140 yards over four games with Detroit in 2024.

Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL
Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Makes first NFL catch
Flournoy caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
The 2024 sixth-round pick made his first career catch in the third quarter with Dallas down 37-9, but Flournoy then fumbled it over to Detroit and didn't see another target. Snaps have opened up at wide receiver with Brandin Cooks (knee) on IR, but as yet Flournoy hasn't been able to claim much of a role, and Sunday's fumble won't do him any favors heading into the Cowboys' Week 7 bye.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Seeing steady work
Turpin caught four of seven targets for 24 yards and gained six yards on his only carry in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He also added 194 yards on four kickoff returns.
His biggest play came right before halftime, when Turpin took a kickoff at the back of the end zone and zipped 79 yards to the Detroit 30-yard line. The Cowboys only got a field goal out of it, though, en route to a 47-9 shellacking. The seven targets were a career high for Turpin, and the third-year speedster has hauled in eight catches for 74 yards over two games since Brandin Cooks (knee) was placed on IR. Turpin should remain a secondary part of the passing offense, in addition to his special-teams role, on the other side of the Cowboys' Week 7 bye.

Xavier Hutchinson WR | HOU
Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Two targets in win
Hutchinson did not catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots in Week 6.
Hutchinson is the next wideout up after Houston placed Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve, playing 48 snaps and getting targeted three times in Week 5 after Collins left that contest. The Collins injury is unlikely to result in a meaningful role for Hutchinson, who saw 33 snaps Sunday and sits behind Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell on the wide receiver depth chart and below tight end Dalton Schultz as a target. Additionally, the returns of running backs Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce took pressure off the passing game in Week 6.

Nelson Agholor WR | BAL
Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Makes 25-yard grab Sunday
Agholor caught one pass for 25 yards on three targets Sunday against the Commanders.
The veteran has settled into a role in which he's playing roughly 50 percent of the snaps each week. Agholor has drawn at least three targets in each of the last three weeks and four of the last five games overall. However, it's not translating into bankable fantasy production. He only has one game with more than one catch thus far and is sitting at just seven receptions for 114 yards on the season. His 40 percent catch rate should correct as the season wears on, but he does not project to have a significant target share regardless. The Ravens hit the road to take on the Buccaneers in Week 7.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: One touch in loss
Tillman was not targeted and had one carry for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia in Week 6.
Tillman's lone touch came on a 3rd-and-1 on the Eagles' side of the field and resulted in a longer field-goal attempt for Dustin Hopkins, who was wide right from 52 yards. Tillman went untargeted for a third consecutive week but could grab a larger slice of the target pie in Week 7 depending on the status of Elijah Moore (ribs).
-
Jaelon Darden WR | SEA
Browns' Jaelon Darden: One catch in loss
Darden caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles in Week 6. He also returned two punts for 26 yards.
Darden was activated from the practice squad for the second time this season after the Browns released James Proche on Saturday. Darden finished with seven snaps on offense and could be in line for a role as the primary returner, if Cleveland signs him to the active roster. He has experience returning both kicks and punts during all four seasons of his NFL career.
-
Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Another one-touch game
Jeudy caught one of three targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles in Week 6.
Jeudy was held to one catch for the second consecutive game and has just six targets over the last two weeks. It's become evident that Cleveland's offense is in disarray, and quarterback Deshaun Watson is a large part of the problem. For a silver lining, Nick Chubb (knee) is due back in Week 7, which could bring some harmony to the offense and have an impact on Jeudy and the rest of the receiving corps.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Held in check in London
Thomas recorded three receptions for 27 yards on six targets in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the Bears in London.
Though he played 49 of the Jaguars' 62 offensive snaps for a season-high 79 percent snap share, Thomas finished with the lowest yardage total of his rookie campaign. His fantasy line would have looked more palatable had he not dropped a wide-open touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence ultimately finding Gabe Davis for a five-yard score later in the drive. Despite the subdued performance, Thomas continues to see enough playing time and involvement in the passing game to at least warrant weekly consideration in fantasy lineups. He'll head into a Week 7 matchup with the Patriots having put together a 25-424-3 receiving line on 40 targets through the first six games of his career.
