Legette caught three of his four targets for 23 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

Legette served as the Panthers' No. 2 wide receiver in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) on Sunday and performed relatively well. Despite a favorable second-half game script that saw Carolina trailing by multiple scores, Legette was targeted just once in that time. The 2024 first-round pick has now recorded 16 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns across his first six games in Carolina, and he's expected to continue serving as the team's No. 2 wide receiver until Thielen returns from injury.

Moore caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

The veteran wideout out-preformed 2023 second-round pick Jonathan Mingo (one catch for one yard) in Sunday's loss, appearing to serve as the Panthers' No. 4 wide receiver. Mingo has disappointed to start his second season in Carolina, so Moore likely will see increased opportunities until Adam Thielen (hamstring) returns from injury.

Sutton finished with four receptions (six targets) for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.

Sutton made his mark on this contest when he fully extended to catch a 37-pass from Bo Nix for a highlight-reel touchdown. It was the 28-year-old Sutton's second touchdown through six games after the veteran snagged 10 scores in 2023. Denver's offense is starting to show some life as Nix continues to develop under center, giving Sutton modest fantasy appeal against the Saints in Week 7 on Thursday Night Football.

Mingo caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

The Ole Miss product had the opportunity to step up and serve as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver while Adam Thielen (hamstring) was sidelined in Week 6. However, Mingo was out-produced by both Jalen Coker (30 yards) and David Moore (17 yards) in addition to Diontae Johnson (78 yards) and Xavier Legette (23 yards), so it appears he's an afterthought in Carolina's wide receiver corps. Mingo will look to rebound in the Panthers' Week 7 matchup against the Commanders.

Coker caught three of his four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

The rookie served as the Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) on Sunday. Coker's 30 receiving yards ranked third on the Panthers, finishing behind both Diontae Johnson (78) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (49). Carolina's defense gave up 30-plus points for the third consecutive week, and Coker could continue benefiting from positive game scripts while Thielen remains sidelined. Expect the Holy Cross product to serve as Carolina's third wide receiver again in Week 7, when the Panthers play the Commanders.

Burton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

The Bengals' fifth wide receiver has played on 21 offensive snaps this season and been targeted twice. Burton has one catch for 47 yards and no scores.

Downs brought in seven of nine targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also returned four punts for 67 yards.

Downs' reception, yardage and target totals all set the pace for the Colts on the afternoon, and the second-year wideout also opened the scoring with a 22-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession of the contest. Downs has at least seven catches and Sunday's yardage total in three consecutive games, and he should finally have a chance to play a full game with Anthony Richardson (oblique) in 2024 during a Week 7 home battle against the Dolphins.

Pittman secured three of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Pittman went from being reportedly considered for a stint on injured reserve due to a back injury early in the week to filling his usual No. 1 receiver role Sunday. While his catch and yardage totals left plenty to be desired, Pittman helped salvage the day for fantasy managers with a tough 10-yard touchdown grab just past the midway point of the fourth quarter, a score that proved to be the difference in the game. Pittman will look to record a touchdown for the third consecutive contest when Indianapolis welcomes in the Dolphins in Week 7.

Ridley failed to come up with any of his eight targets and rushed once for nine yards in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Ridley logged a team-high target total but somehow failed to come up with any of the passes thrown his way. The veteran is mired in a forgettable three-game stretch during which he's posted a combined 2-14 line on 14 targets, and Will Levis' failure to develop any consistent rapport with the valued offseason addition could help spur a quarterback change to Mason Rudolph ahead of a Week 7 road matchup against the Bills.

Hopkins brought in four of six targets for 54 yards in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Hopkins' reception and receiving yardage totals, modest as they were, served as team highs on the afternoon for the Titans. The veteran receiver was on the receiving end of well more than half of Will Levis' 95 passing yards, underscoring how lackluster a day it was for Tennessee's air attack. Hopkins now has multiple receptions in three straight games after opening the season with consecutive one-catch efforts, and he could be a beneficiary if there is a quarterback change from Levis to Mason Rudolph.
