  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Logs two receptions

    Agholor caught two of three targets for 40 yards Sunday in a 24-16 win over the Titans in London.

    The veteran has now racked up six catches for 104 yards over the last two weeks. Agholor played 52 percent of the snaps, which was the second-most on the team among receivers, behind only Zay Flowers. With Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham off to slow starts, Agholor is settling in as the No.3 option in Baltimore's passing game. The Ravens take on the Lions at home in Week 7.

  • Buccaneers' Deven Thompkins: Minimal role on offense in loss

    Thompkins brought two of four targets for minus-2 yards, rushed once for five yards and ran back three kickoffs for 55 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Thompkins' statistical and playing time downturn was a big disappointment after he'd generated a 4-45-1 line and rushed once for 11 yards across 42 snaps against the Saints in Week 4. It would have been logical to assume the speedy second-year wideout could have enjoyed an even bigger role coming out of the Week 5 bye, but Thompkins' 14 snaps Sunday were significantly behind fellow complementary receiver Trey Palmer's 37. It's difficult to ascertain whether Thompkins' sparse usage Sunday was merely an outlier, but he'll presumably have a good chance for at least a slight uptick in work during a Week 7 home divisional clash against the Falcons.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Generates 60 receiving yards

    Palmer (groin) finished with four receptions (on seven targets) for 60 yards in Monday's 20-17 loss to Dallas.

    Palmer finished second in receiving for the Chargers after being labeled as questionable with a groin injury that popped up late in the practice week. The 24-year-old produced solid results similar to his last two games after replacing the injured Mike Williams (knee). With the latter done for the season and rookie Quentin Johnston recording zero catches (on two targets) Monday, Palmer will continue to fill a key role as Justin Herbert's No. 2 option when the Chargers take on the Chiefs this Sunday.

  • Keenan Allen WR | LAC

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Grabs fourth touchdown of season

    Allen hauled in seven receptions (on 11 targets) for 85 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Allen continued his dominant start to the campaign out of the Chargers' bye week, recording his 42nd reception and scoring his fourth touchdown in just five games this season. The 31-year-old appeared to have lost a step after a down year in 2022, but he put an end to talks surrounding his decline with a current pace that projects new career bests in receptions, yards and touchdowns. Allen will continue to operate as Justin Herbert's top receiving option against the Chiefs this Sunday.

  • Michael Gallup WR | WAS

    Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Inefficient in Week 6 win

    Gallup secured three of 10 targets for 24 yards in the Cowboys' 20-17 win over the Chargers on Monday.

    Gallup's team- and season-high target total largely went for naught against an aggressive Chargers defense, leading to another modest showing for the veteran wideout. He's now recorded less than 25 receiving yards in four of the first six games, and he's followed up a solid two-game surge in Weeks 3-4 when he posted an 11-152-0 line on 13 targets with just five receptions for 39 yards in the next pair of contests. Gallup's next opportunity to reverse course comes in a Week 8 home matchup against the Rams on Sunday, Oct. 29 following a Week 7 bye.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | BUF

    Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Finds end zone in Week 6 win

    Cooks secured all four targets for 36 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 14 yards in the Cowboys' 20-17 win over the Chargers on Monday.

    Cooks' modest yardage total was nevertheless a season high, and he propped up it up with a two-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter that served as his first touchdown in a Cowboys uniform. The veteran speedster has strictly played a complementary role thus far in Dallas' air attack, and he'll next face his former Rams squad during a Week 8 home matchup on Sunday, Oct. 29 following a Week 7 bye.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Eclipses century mark in win

    Lamb secured all seven targets for 117 yards in the Cowboys' 20-17 win over the Chargers on Monday.

    Lamb led the way in receiving yards for the Cowboys on the night while notching a 100 percent catch rate. Both the reception and yardage totals were Lamb's second highest of the season, and the standout performance snapped a three-game downturn that had seen Lamb record 53 receiving yards or less in each contest. Lamb and the Cowboys next face the Rams at home on Sunday, Oct. 29 following a Week 7 bye.

  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: No targets in win

    Agnew received no targets, returned one kickoff for 53 yards and returned one punt for six yards during Sunday's 37-20 win against the Colts.

    The 28-year-old played 20 offensive snaps as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout with Zay Jones (knee) unavailable but went without a target for the second straight game. Agnew caught four passes for 49 yards in Week 3, but in four other games this season he has just one reception for five yards and three carries for minus-1 yard.

  • Kyle Philips WR | LV

    Titans' Kyle Philips: Key error on special teams

    Philips recorded one reception on two targets for six yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Ravens.

    Philips appeared in his second game of the season and managed a fairly significant increase in snap rate, jumping from 24 to 46 percent. However, his production remained minimal and his performance was defined by a muffed punt that allowed the Ravens to kick a field goal just before halftime. He returned to punt return duties thereafter, so his role on special teams seems secure. On the other hand, Philips will likely continue to see minimal targets.

  • Cody Thompson: Reverts to practice squad

    Thompson reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday.

    Thompson saw playing time on both offense and special teams but didn't record any stats during Sunday's loss to the Bengals. Thompson could be called up again ahead of the Week 7 game against the Cardinals with Dee Eskridge still suspended one more game.
