  • Malik Heath WR | GB

    Packers' Malik Heath: Not involved against Bengals

    Heath failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.

    Heath saw his highest snap share of the season Sunday, playing 46 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps after averaging a 26 percent snap share over the team's first four games. Despite the uptick in playing time, the third-year wideout was unable to get anything going against a vulnerable defense. Considering Heath is already buried on the depth chart and teammate Christian Watson (knee) is nearing his return, the 25-year-old is best ignored for fantasy purposes going forward. Up next for Green Bay is a Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals.

  • Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Career-best effort in win

    Johnson secured all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-19 win over the 49ers in Week 6. He also returned one kickoff for 31 yards and ran back one punt for six yards.

    Johnson put together a career-best line on a career-high 26 snaps (49 percent), as the early exit of Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) coupled with the absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) opened up plenty of opportunities for Tampa Bay's depth wideouts. Johnson topped off his performance with his first career TD, a 34-yard grab late in the first half. While Evans may return for Monday night's showdown against the Lions in Week 7, Godwin and Egbuka could both miss the contest, meaning Johnson could see an expanded role again.

  • Tylan Wallace WR | BAL

    Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Not targeted in loss

    Wallace failed to record a single target in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams.

    Wallace played just seven of the Ravens' 78 offensive snaps behind fellow wide receivers Zay Flowers (71), Rashod Bateman (44) and DeAndre Hopkins (26). The 26-year-old Wallace failed to record a reception for the fourth time through six games. Wallace has not been a big part of Baltimore's offensive plans, as he's been targeted just five times so far this season. Wallace should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Ravens host the Bears on Oct. 26 following the team's Week 7 bye.

  • Greg Dortch WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Finds end zone in loss

    Dortch caught all three of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.

    Dortch's trip to the end zone was his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout's 44 percent offensive snap share was his second highest mark of the season, likely due to teammate Marvin Harrison leaving the game early due to a concussion suffered in the second quarter of the contest. Despite scoring his first touchdown of the season and playing more snaps in Week 6, Dortch remains very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even if Harrison is sidelined for a Week 7 matchup against the Packers.

  • Tre Harris WR | LAC

    Chargers' Tre' Harris: Extended playing time sans Johnston

    Harris caught four passes on five targets for 27 yards during the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Harris was thrust into a larger offensive role Sunday due to Quentin Johnston being ruled out with a hamstring injury. Harris proceeded to play a season-high 53 snaps on offense and finished tied with Keenan Allen for third on the Chargers in both catches and receiving yards. Harris' would revert to a rotational role for Week 7 against the Colts if Johnston were cleared to return.

  • Charlie Jones WR | CIN

    Bengals' Charlie Jones: DNP again Tuesday

    Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Tuesday's practice report, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Jones has posted back-to-back DNP estimates to begin the week, putting his status in jeopardy for Thursday night against the Steelers. If Jones can't play, Jermaine Burton would make sense as the next man up to handle return duties for the Bengals.

  • Thayer Thomas WR | DEN

    Thayer Thomas: Lands on PS injured list

    The Broncos placed Thomas (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Ben Swanson of the team's official site reports.

    The nature and severity of Thomas' injury isn't clear, but he won't be eligible to be elevated to the Broncos' active roster for at least four games. That makes Week 11 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 16 the earliest he would be able to be called up from the practice squad.

  • Jalen Cropper: Let go by Dallas

    The Cowboys waived Cropper on Tuesday.

    The move corresponds with the impending returns of fellow wideouts CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot), and the Cowboys are hoping that Cropper can clear waivers and return to the team on the practice squad, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. Cropper played in the Cowboys' last three games and saw additional work as a returner during Sunday's 30-27 road loss to the Panthers. He finished that contest with 38 yards on two kickoff returns and 19 yards on two punt returns.

  • David Bell WR | CLE

    Browns' David Bell: Placed on reserve/retired list

    The Browns placed Bell (hip) on the reserve/retired list Tuesday.

    Bell announced his retirement via social media Tuesday, saying he suffered an off-field injury that jeopardized his career. He'd been on the reserve/non-football injury list since the start of the season. Bell was a third-round pick in 2022 and totaled 41 catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns across 32 regular-season appearances with Cleveland.

  • Trenton Irwin WR | NYJ

    Trenton Irwin: Catches on with Gang Green

    The Jets signed Irwin to the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

    The 29-year-old wideout out of Stanford was unable to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll get another opportunity with the Jets on the practice squad. Irwin has appeared in 41 regular-season games since 2019 (23 of which came in 2023 and 2024 when he was a member of the Bengals) and has accumulated 46 catches (on 72 targets) for 601 yards and five touchdowns in his NFL career.
