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.

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.

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.

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.

Coleman is expected to move down a spot on the depth chart after the Bills acquired Amari Cooper from the Browns on Tuesday, Matt Bove of 7 News Buffalo reports.

The addition of Cooper represents a hit to Coleman's rest-of-season value, as both Cooper and Khalil Shakir should provide a strong 1-2 punch at receiver for the Bills, while running back James Cook and tight end Dalton Kincaid are frequent targets in the passing game. Coleman has shown some promise with his size and athleticism, but he hasn't gone over 51 receiving yards in six games, and it's difficult to envision him being a main weapon in the passing game when the Bills have all their key weapons available. Bove suggests that the second-round rookie will likely line up alongside Cooper and Shakir as the Bills' preferred wideout trio, though Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel could rotate in.

Fehoko caught two of his four targets for 44 yards in the 23-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Quentin Johnston was in and out of the game with an ankle injury, so Fehoko ended up taking more of the work opposite usual stalwart Ladd McConkey. He's only played more than 30 snaps twice this season, and, given the Chargers' limited passing attack, Fehoko is still outside the fantasy radar for the majority of formats.

Palmer caught two of his three targets for 38 yards in the 23-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Simi Fehoko, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey all saw more targets than Palmer, but the 25-year-old did play the second-most snaps of any Chargers wideout. The offense just doesn't pass the ball often enough to have more than one target be a consistent fantasy factor, and right now Palmer is no better than third on the target chart week to week.

Callaway signed a deal with the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Callaway spent the offseason with the Steelers before being cut at the start of training camp. He quickly found a new opportunity in New Orleans, where he spent his first four seasons, and spent training camp in the Big Easy. However, he was unable to make it through final roster cuts. The fifth-year pass catcher will now look to make an impression with a new NFC South team in Tampa.

Wilson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant during Tuesday's walkthrough.

Wilson has played through an ankle injury through most of the regular season. Barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Thursday's game against the Broncos. Wilson caught two passes (on three targets) for 28 yards during the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers.

Adams (hamstring) is planning to make his Jets debut Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After he passed a physical Tuesday, Adams officially joined the Jets, who acquired the six-time Pro Bowl wideout from the Raiders in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick. He had missed the Raiders' last three games with a hamstring injury, but if he's able to resume practicing the Jets likely won't hesitate to include him in the game plan for Sunday. The addition of Adams provides quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a familiar option in the passing game -- the two spent eight seasons together in Green Bay -- and should also help lessen the burden on Garrett Wilson, who had been targeted on 37 percent of Rodgers' pass attempts over the past two weeks. Shortly after the trade was finalized, Schefter relayed that Adams reworked his contract to lower his salary number to $3.21 million for 2024, and his deal now includes voidable years in 2025 and 2026. Adams and the Jets will wait and see how the remainder of the season plays out before discussing his future in New York.
