Wilson brought in two of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 34-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Wilson couldn't truly capitalize on the second-quarter exit of Marvin Harrison due to a concussion, as the former actually saw his fewest targets since Week 2. Wilson's reception and yardage totals were also his second-lowest figures of the season in those categories, but he helped make up for the pedestrian production with his first touchdown since Week 1 on an 18-yard grab coming out of the two-minute warning in the second quarter. If Harrison remains sidelined for a Week 7 Monday night home matchup against the Chargers, Wilson would be in line to serve as the No. 1 wideout in that contest.

Shaheed brought in one of seven targets for 11 yards, rushed once for two yards, returned one kickoff for 25 yards and ran back two punts for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Shaheed and rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler could barely connect during the latter's first taste of NFL action, with the speedy wideout's robust target tally going almost completely for naught. However, Shaheed still found a way to contribute for fantasy managers in leagues that factor in return production, as he put together an impressive return on his kickoff runback and then rattled off a 54-yard punt-return touchdown early in the second quarter for New Orleans' first trip to the end zone on the afternoon. Despite the inefficiency, the fact Rattler often looked Shaheed's way is encouraging, and the duo could therefore be due for more success in a Week 7 Thursday night home battle against the Broncos.

Evans brought in two of six targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

As has often been par for the course in his encounters with arch-nemesis Marshon Lattimore and the Saints, Evans finished the day with lackluster numbers. The veteran wideout also appeared to suffer an injury during the second quarter and even headed to the locker room, per Spencer Urquhart of NOLA.com, but he eventually returned to the game. Evans will aim to bounce back from his second-lowest receiving yardage total of the season when the Buccaneers tangle with the Ravens in a Week 7 home showdown on Monday night, Oct. 21.

Bateman caught all four of his targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Commanders.

Zay Flowers led the Ravens in receiving with a 9-132-0 line on nine targets, but Bateman made an impact with his limited looks. The receiving yards were a season high for the fourth-year wideout, but he's seen more than five targets in a game only once in four weeks. Bateman could be a factor again in a potentially high-scoring Week 7 clash with the Buccaneers.

Flowers caught all nine of his targets for 132 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Commanders.

Curiously, all of his catches came in the first half, but it was still enough for a career-best performance from the second-year wideout. Flowers has topped 100 receiving yards in back-to-back games, and through six weeks, he has a strong 33-401-1 line on 48 targets. The league's better secondaries have been able to neutralize Flowers -- most of his production has come in contests against Washington, Cincinnati and Las Vegas -- but that shouldn't be an issue for him in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

Johnston returned to Sunday's game against the Broncos after having previously exited the contest due an an ankle injury.

Both Johnston and Ladd McConkey were shaken up during Sunday's game but were subsequently able to return to the field. They, along with Joshua Palmer, will thus continue to lead a Chargers' Week 6 WR corps that also includes Simi Fehoko and Derius Davis.

Boutte caught all three of his targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

Most of Boutte's production came on a 40-yard touchdown catch, which got the Patriots on the board just before halftime. Boutte has caught seven of his eight targets this season, so perhaps the touchdown catch will earn him a larger role moving forward in a Patriots offense desperate for production from wide receivers on the outside. He'll have some upside as a Week 7 dart throw against the leaky Jacksonville secondary at Wembley Stadium.

Dell caught seven of nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.

Dell didn't take long to step up in the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring), notching a 20-yard catch on the opening drive before eventually capping that possession with a two-yard touchdown reception. He finished with the team lead in targets, narrowly beating out Dalton Schultz (eight) and Stefon Diggs (seven). Houston's entire passing game took the foot off the gas after building a 20-point lead in the third quarter, but Dell is poised for an extended uptick in usage for the duration of Collins' stint on IR. Collins will miss at least four games, the second of which will be a Week 7 trip to Green Bay.

Diggs caught six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.

Diggs caught a 10-yard touchdown in the third quarter for his fourth overall score through six games with the Texans. His usage wasn't markedly different in the first of at least four games Nico Collins (hamstring) will spend on injured reserve, as Tank Dell (57 yards and a touchdown on nine targets) was the biggest beneficiary of Collins' absence. Diggs has at least six targets in every game this season, and he's likely to reach that threshold again in a Week 7 road game against the Packers.

Douglas caught six of nine targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

Douglas' 35-yard touchdown came in the fourth quarter after the result was no longer in doubt, but the 2023 sixth-round draft pick will cherish it all the same as the first touchdown of his NFL career. Douglas was heavily involved throughout Drake Maye's first NFL start under center, leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The slot receiver's off to an up-and-down start, with 19 catches for 220 yards and a touchdown in his three best games and just five catches for 25 yards in three other appearances this season. Douglas is more likely to boom than bust in Week 7 against a Jaguars defense that's giving up 29.7 points per game.
