  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Leading receiver on SNF

    Brown caught five of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Cowboys.

    Brown rebounded in a big way after turning in his lowest fantasy point total of the season against the Cardinals last week. The 25-year-old led the Eagles in targets and receiving yards while his running mate, DeVonta Smith (5-44-1), finished a close second. The dynamic receiving duo have been as advertised through six weeks with early MVP candidate, Jalen Hurts, navigating this talented offensive unit into the bye week. Brown and his healthy 33/503/2 line will resume action in Week 8 against the Steelers.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Regresses with just one catch

    Slayton caught one of three targets for 18 yards in a 24-20 win over Baltimore in Week 6.

    Slayton looked like he could be on the verge of a breakthrough with a six-catch, 79-yard performance in Week 5, but he fell back to earth with Sunday's quiet showing. Fellow receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) were both inactive for the contest, but it was tight end Daniel Bellinger who led the Giants in both catches and receiving yards. There's too much volatility among New York's pass-catching corps for any player on the unit to have fantasy viability at the moment.

  • Rondale Moore WR | MIN

    Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Heavily involved

    Moore recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks.

    Moore tied for the team lead in targets with Zach Ertz, though Marquise Brown (ankle) was forced to exit the game prematurely. As has typically been the case, Moore worked primarily in the short areas of the field. However, he did rack up yards after the catch on two occasions to tally receptions of 26 and 16 yards. Moore should remain heavily involved in the offense even with the return of DeAndre Hopkins (suspension), so long as Marquise Brown (ankle) is forced to miss Thursday's Week 7 matchup against the Saints.

  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Finds end zone against Buffalo

    Hardman caught three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bills.

    While he once again didn't see much target volume, Hardman came up big, hauling in a three-yard TD strike from Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter to tie the score at 17-17. It was the first TD for the speedster since Kansas City's opener, and his limited role in the passing game makes him tough to use on fantasy rosters heading into a Week 7 meeting with the 49ers.

  • Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Big numbers in losing effort

    Smith-Schuster caught all five of his targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bills.

    After going five games for Kansas City without getting into the end zone, Smith-Schuster finally found paydirt on a 42-yard catch-and-run early in the second quarter that saw him get past three would-be tacklers before dashing down the sideline. The former Steeler also put up his best yardage total of the season, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 7 clash with the 49ers.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Makes first catch

    Woods caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 38-15 loss to New England in Week 6.

    Woods made his NFL debut after being inactive the first five weeks. He made his first NFL catch and had both targets on the Browns' final drive when the game was out of reach.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Quiet against Arizona

    Lockett recorded two receptions on five targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.

    Lockett had his quietest game of the season and failed to top 75 yards for only the second time in six matchups. Geno Smith was slowed by the Arizona offense but also spread the ball to a wide range of receivers, as seven Seahawks pass catchers received multiple targets. Despite his down performance, Lockett has earned at least eight targets in three of six games on the campaign, and he should have a strong chance to bounce back in Week 7 against the Chargers.

  • Browns' Anthony Schwartz: Gets three garbage-time targets

    Schwartz did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 38-15 loss to New England in Week 6.

    Schwartz has been invisible all season, but he got some late-game run when the Browns were down by three scores. It wasn't a very impressive showing for the second-year wideout, who dropped passes on consecutive plays on Cleveland's final drive. A case of the drops is largely why Schwartz has seen limited playing time this season.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: Finds end zone Sunday

    Davis caught three of six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over Kansas City.

    While he didn't see anywhere near the volume Stefon Diggs did, Davis still made a big impact on the game, scoring Buffalo's first TD of the afternoon on a 34-yard rocket down the sideline from Josh Allen. It was his third TD catch in the last two weeks, all of them 34 yards or greater. The third-year wideout continues his breakout campaign, and Davis will head into Buffalo's Week 7 bye on pace for over 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Struggles against Cardinals

    Metcalf recorded two receptions on seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.

    Metcalf had been showing strong chemistry with Geno Smith in recent games, but he struggled to produce against the Cardinals. Despite tying for the team lead in targets, he finished third on the team in receiving yards. Positively, Metcalf has a secure role among the Seahawks' receiving corps, as he has earned at least seven targets in five of six games this season.
