Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Jets' Elijah Moore: No targets Sunday
Moore was not targeted in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.
Moore's goose egg comes after his one catch for 11 yards in Week 5 previously marked a season low. Although quarterback Zach Wilson passed for merely 110 yards Sunday, restricting everyone's output, Moore's recent drop-off is nonetheless noteworthy. He'll look to resurface as a significant threat in Week 7 versus the Broncos, but Sunday's empty outing could offer reason to temper expectations.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Explodes for two scores
Chase had seven receptions on 10 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.
Joe Burrow and Chase came into the Superdome on a mission to recreate the magic the LSU teammates had the last time they played at this venue. The superstar duo did their part on the field, hooking up for a game-winning touchdown inside of the two-minute warning that sealed the victory for Cincinnati. Chase was having an adequate fantasy year coming into Sunday's matchup, so the monster stat line will surely boost his managers' spirits heading into the meat of the season. The 22-year-old phenom will carry a 39/475/4 line into a soft matchup against Atlanta's secondary next Sunday.

Allen Lazard WR | NYJ
Packers' Allen Lazard: Scores lone touchdown
Lazard caught four of nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets.
Lazard hauled in a beautiful 35-yard pass along the sideline during the first half, then scored Green Bay's lone touchdown with a 25-yard connection from Aaron Rodgers to close the third quarter. In doing so, Lazard scored for the fourth time in five appearances this season. Although he lacks the upside of most No. 1 wideouts, Lazard's consistent production gives him solid value ahead of Week 7's matchup versus the Commanders.

George Pickens WR | DAL
Steelers' George Pickens: Limited production in Week 6
Pickens secured three of six targets for 27 yards while rushing once for one yard during the Steelers' 20-18 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Pickens led the Steelers in receiving yards over the last two weeks, but the Buccaneers were more effective at holding him in check during Sunday's narrow victory. Most of the rookie second-rounder's strong performances have come with Kenny Pickett under center, and Pickett exited Sunday's matchup in the third quarter due to a concussion. It's not yet clear whether Pickett will be cleared to return in time for next Sunday's game in Miami, but it's possible that Pickens sees fewer looks if Mitch Trubisky is under center.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Crosses century mark in loss
Waddle secured six of 10 targets for 129 yards in the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Waddle checked in second to Tyreek Hill in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he also committed a costly fumble at the Vikings' 14-yard line with less than five minutes remaining, leading to a Minnesota touchdown two plays later. Otherwise, Waddle was able to produce his third 100-yard effort of the season and second-highest catch tally along the way. The second-year star will aim to stay hot against an injury-hampered Steelers secondary that nevertheless played very effectively against the Buccaneers on Sunday when the Dolphins face Pittsburgh in a Sunday night Week 7 home matchup.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Monster numbers in loss
Hill secured 12 of 15 targets for 177 yards and netted minus-2 yards on one punt return in the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Hill led the Dolphins' air attack across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, displaying excellent chemistry with Teddy Bridgewater after the veteran came into the game for Skylar Thompson (thumb). Game script certainly worked in Hill's favor, as Miami trailed from the second quarter onward. The speedster, who now has a pair of 100-yard tallies in his last three games, is slated to get starting signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa back for a Week 7 Sunday night home matchup against the Steelers.
-
Diontae Johnson WR | CLE
Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Tallies five receptions in Week 6
Johnson secured five of seven targets for 28 yards while rushing twice for eight yards during the Steelers' 20-18 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Johnson was held to single-digit targets for just the second time this season during Sunday's victory, and he was unable to generate much yardage against the Tampa Bay defense. Mitch Trubisky replaced Kenny Pickett (concussion) in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup, and Chase Claypool saw more looks during the second half. However, Johnson has drawn plenty of targets from both Trubisky and Pickett this year, so he should have a chance to remain involved next week in Miami regardless of the Steelers' starting quarterback.
-
Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Eclipses century mark in win
Jefferson brought in six of eight targets for 107 yards in the Vikings' 24-16 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also recorded a fumble.
Jefferson paced the Vikings in receptions and receiving yards while co-leading the team in targets. The third-year star's biggest play of the day came at a critical juncture, a 47-yard catch and run down the right side of the field on the last play of the third quarter with Minnesota clinging to a 10-3 lead. Jefferson will carry a streak of three consecutive 100-yard efforts -- as well as a five-game touchdown drought -- into a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals following a Week 7 bye.
-
Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Monster performance in win
Pittman brought in 13 of 16 targets for 134 yards in the Colts' 34-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Pittman paced the Colts in receptions, receiving yards and targets in a standout performance that saw him left out of Matt Ryan's three-touchdown barrage and come up just short of securing a two-point conversion grab, but that still led to season-best numbers across the board. Pittman now has a pair of 100-yard efforts on the campaign, and he'll look to make his first trip to the end zone since Week 1 in the Colts' AFC South road showdown versus the Titans in Week 7.
-
Chase Claypool WR | BUF
Steelers' Chase Claypool: Strong showing against Tampa Bay
Claypool secured all seven of his targets for 96 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for eight yards during the Steelers' 20-18 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Claypool has had a somewhat inconsistent start to the season, but he had his best game of the year during Sunday's upset win over Tampa Bay. The 24-year-old reached the end zone for the first time this season with a six-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, and he had a pair of catches in the closing minutes for two third-down conversions to help seal the win. In spite of Claypool's inconsistent fantasy results early in the year, he's had at least six targets in five of the first six games of the season.
