Metcalf had six receptions (seven targets) for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.

The Seahawks offense looked lost for the entire first half of the contest with Geno Smith under center, recording just 76 passing yards through two quarters. Smith and the rest of the air attack finally got things rolling after halftime, but Metcalf was still left with a pedestrian stat line in his first full game with the backup under center. Things won't get any easier for the dynamic wideout next week, as a matchup against Marshon Lattimore and the Saints looms next Monday.

Johnson did not log a target over 12 snaps in the Buccaneers' 28-22 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

The reserve second-year wideout couldn't crack the stat sheet after posting a solid 3-42 line in Week 5 against the Dolphins. Given the healthy talent at receiver in front of him, Johnson's production will likely remain volatile on a week-to-week basis unless multiple injuries strike the position.

Mickens did not log a target in three snaps from scrimmage and returned three punts for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-22 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

Mickens was solid in his return duties, but even with Scotty Miller (toe) still on injured reserve, he did not have a role in the offense. The 27-year-old does not have a target this season across 18 snaps from scrimmage, but he's accrued 129 kickoff return yards and another 54 on punt runbacks.

Bourne caught one of two targets for a 75-yard touchdown in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

In a wild back-and-forth contest, Bourne was involved in maybe the two wildest plays of all. On the first ball Mac Jones threw his way, Bourne let the pass tip off his fingers straight to Trevon Diggs, who returned it 42 yards for a TD that put Dallas ahead 26-21. On New England's very next possession, Jones looked Bourne's way again, and this time the receiver hung onto the ball between two defenders before racing to the end zone for what proved to be the final points of the game for the Pats. Despite the big catch, his two targets were a season low, and Bourne's inconsistent usage makes him tough to roster in most fantasy formats heading into a Week 7 clash with the Jets.

Cooper caught five of eight targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 35-29 overtime win over the Patriots.

The 27-year-old once again took a back seat to CeeDee Lamb, but Cooper still put together a solid performance and made some key catches for the Cowboys in a wild back-and-forth affair. He'll head into the team's Week 7 bye with 30 receptions on 43 targets for 373 yards and four TDs.

Lamb caught nine of 11 targets for 149 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-29 overtime win over the Patriots.

After a quiet first half, Lamb shredded the New England secondary after the break, grabbing a one-yard TD strike late in the third quarter and then settling under a 35-yard pass from Dak Prescott for the game-winning score in OT while making a number of crucial catches in between. The second-year receiver heads into Dallas' Week 7 bye with 33 receptions on 49 targets for 497 yards and four TDs.

Sutton caught eight receptions for 94 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets against Las Vegas on Sunday.

It wasn't the most efficient effort for Sutton (57.1 percent catch rate, 6.7 yards per target), but the fact that Teddy Bridgewater looked Sutton's way on 28.6 percent of Denver's pass attempts is a testament to his workhorse-level talent at receiver. Other than a three-target game in Week 1, Sutton has drawn heavy usage in 2021, and he heads into his seventh game with 471 yards and two touchdowns to his credit. Sutton has been impressive in his return from his 2020 knee injury, to the point that the imminent return of Jerry Jeudy (ankle) might not harm Sutton's bottom line too much. The Broncos head to Cleveland for Week 7.

Beckham caught five of eight passes for 79 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.

He led the Browns in catches and targets while setting a new season high in receiving yards, although Beckham was overshadowed by a two-TD day for Donovan Peoples-Jones. Beckham left the loss briefly in the first half with a shoulder issue but hauled in three of his catches after he returned, and with Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf/wrist/knee) also dealing with injuries, Cleveland could have to rely on Beckham and its passing game a lot more than usual in Week 7 against the Broncos.

Peoples-Jones caught four of five targets for 101 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.

While Odell Beckham led the Browns in catches and targets, it was Peoples-Jones who was the team's big-play threat as he accounted for all of Cleveland's scoring with an 11-yard TD grab with about five minutes left in the first half, before he was on the end of a 57-yard Baker Mayfield hail mary just before halftime. Peoples-Jones had just four catches through the first four games of the season, but he's suddenly erupted for a 9-171-2 line on 11 targets over the last two contests. Given his modest target volume, the second-year receiver could have a tough time being productive again in Week 7 against the Broncos. However, with both Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf/wrist/knee) banged up, the Browns could have to rely on their passing game much more than usual in the short term.

Kirk caught five of eight targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Browns.

He led the Cards in targets while tying A.J. Green for the team lead in catches, and Kirk hauled in his third TD of the season to open the scoring midway through the first quarter. The fourth-year receiver is well on his way to a career year in Arizona's explosive offense, but Kirk may not be called on often in Week 7 at home against a struggling Texans squad.
