Toney brought in three of six targets for nine yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for minus-5 yards in the Chiefs' 19-8 win over the Broncos on Thursday night.

Toney managed to salvage a night in which he gained all of four net yards with his three-yard scoring grab in the second quarter, his first regular-season receiving score in a Chiefs uniform. Toney has yet to eclipse 35 receiving yards in a game this season and has actually now recorded single-digit or zero yardage on three occasions, so despite his role in a prolific offense, he remains a speculative fantasy option for a Week 7 home matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 22.

Rice brought in all four targets for 72 yards in the Chiefs' 19-8 win over the Broncos on Thursday night.

Rice finished second in receiving yards on the night for the Chiefs with a figure that was also his best over the first six games of his career. The speedy rookie has been fairly consistent in a passing game that runs first and foremost through Travis Kelce and often spreads the ball around pretty widely otherwise, recording at least three receptions in all but one contest and snagging a pair of touchdowns. Rice has logged five or more targets on four occasions as well, giving him plenty of momentum going into a Week 7 home divisional battle versus the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 22.

Jeudy brought in three of five targets for 14 yards in the Broncos' 19-8 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night.

Jeudy looked nothing like a No. 1 receiver on a night where Russell Wilson threw for 95 yards, and the fourth-year receiver's yardage total was his lowest since Week 2 of the 2022 season. The 2020 first-round pick was coming off a season-high tally of six receptions in Week 5, so perhaps Thursday night's numbers will subsequently prove an outlier that was mostly the byproduct of facing a tough defense. Jeudy's next opportunity to put the washout of a night behind him comes in a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 22.

Sutton secured four of six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 19-8 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night.

Sutton's modest reception, yardage and target totals all led the Broncos on the night, and he was also the only one on his squad to visit the end zone. The veteran wideout's 11-yard scoring grab in the fourth quarter was a highlight-reel catch, with Sutton securing the ball with his right hand and keeping his feet inbounds while falling and being smothered by Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson. Sutton has somehow manage to mostly sidestep the malaise that's hung over the Broncos for most of the season, already recording three touchdown receptions after not having eclipsed two since 2019 and posting at least four catches in four of six games. Sutton's next opportunity to add to his solid start comes in a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 22.

Watson suffered an elbow injury during Thursday's 19-8 win over the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It's unclear when Watson suffered the injury, though it may have been on a long pass attempt in the fourth quarter, or what the exact nature of the issue may be. Watson was held to only one target with no receptions during the win.

Tillman (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The rookie was added to the injury report Thursday. Tillman caught his first NFL pass in the Browns' Week 4 loss to the Ravens, gaining five yards. He's buried on the Browns' wideout depth chart and has minimal fantasy value outside of dynasty formats.

Turpin (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Turpin injured his ankle on a punt return in Week 5. On the season, Turpin has played just 52 offensive snaps and has recorded five catches for 51 yards and one touchdown on six targets. He's also rushed six times for 66 yards and one score. Turpin is a gadget player on offense in addition to his returner duties.

Brown (illness) was limited in practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

In his return from Wednesday's absence due to an illness, Brown was spotted running routes and catching passes during individual drills one day later, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com. In the end, though, Brown must not have gotten in much more work, leaving him just one more opportunity to get back to full this week. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Brown has a designation ahead of Sunday's road matchup with the Rams.

Metcalf (ribs) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

On the heels of the Seahawks' Week 5 bye, Metcalf now hasn't logged any on-field work due to the rib injury that he sustained Week 2. He's been able to play through the pain in the interim and even told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Wednesday that "it hasn't been" tough to do so, as evidenced by his 18-268-2 line on 23 targets through four games. Still, Metcalf has just one more chance to mix into drills before the team potentially hands him a designation for Sunday's contest in Cincinnati.

Humphrey was elevated to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

The wide receiver was released from the active roster Wednesday before being re-signed to the practice squad. Humphrey has four catches for 26 yards and a touchdown in five games this season. At the same time, the fifth-year pro's playing time has gone down after he played 71 percent of the snaps in Week 1.
