Bateman (groin) caught four of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Chargers.

Making his NFL debut after missing the first five weeks due to a groin injury, Bateman tied for the team lead in targets with tight end Mark Andrews, who caught five of his six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore's undoubtedly a run-first offense, as evidenced by the team's trio of rushing touchdowns in this one, but the rookie first-round pick could carve out a prominent role in a passing game that revolved around Andrews and deep threat Marquise Brown in Bateman's absence. He'll face the Bengals in Week 7.

Chase brought in four of six targets for 97 yards in the Bengals' 34-11 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Chase's yardage total led the Bengals' pass catchers, with a game-high 53-yard grab playing a big part. The dynamic rookie also shared the team lead in targets, but the downturn in that category was a mild disappointment after Chase had logged 19 total looks over the previous two games. Despite falling just short of his third 100-yard effort, the first-round pick will have no shortage of appeal going into a Week 7 road showdown against the Ravens.

Beckham exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals after suffering a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Prior to his second-quarter departure, Beckham caught two of his three targets for 42 yards. Next up for the Browns' wideout snaps in his absence are Donovan Peoples-Jones, Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz.

Adams secured four of five targets for 89 yards in the Packers' 24-14 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Adams was having a relatively quiet day until he ripped off a 41-yard catch and run midway through the fourth quarter on a drive that would culminate in the final points of the day for either club. The multi-time Pro Bowler's performance arguably qualifies as at least a mild disappointment following his 11-206-1 line in the overtime win against the Bengals in Week 5, as the solid yardage total was nevertheless Adams' second lowest of the last five games. He'll look to bounce back with his fourth 100-yard effort of the season in a Week 7 battle versus Washington at home.

Agnew recorded five receptions on six targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Miami.

Agnew continued to benefit from the absence of DJ Chark (ankle), as he has seen six targets in each of the two full games since Chark has been sidelined. Agnew served as a big-play threat for the Jaguars, logging receptions of 29, 24, and 14 yards. While he benefited from Trevor Lawrence attempting a season-high 41 pass attempts, it seems clear that Agnew has carved out a role in the team's offensive attack.

Allen caught all five of his targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.

Allen actually led the Chargers in receiving yards, but the team's entire offense couldn't get anything going in the blowout loss. After reaching the 100-yard mark in each of the first two games, Allen has topped 50 only once in the past four, as Mike Williams has established himself as the go-to guy in Los Angeles' passing game heading into the team's Week 7 bye.

Kupp brought in nine of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 38-11 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Kupp easily paced the Rams' pass catchers across the board with his prolific effort, which included touchdown grabs of three and 13 yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. He hadn't scored since Week 3 against the Buccaneers, a relatively brief but rare slump for him, and he's now recorded at least seven receptions in five of the first six games of the season while seeing double-digit targets in every contest. Kupp's talent and level of involvement will continue keeping him in the upper echelon of the fantasy landscape in all formats going into a tantalizing Week 7 home matchup against the Lions.

Williams (knee) caught two of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.

Williams was quiet throughout, but his first catch was a big one, as it went for 26 yards and set up a one-yard Jared Cook touchdown catch on the next play. Little went right for the Chargers in general, as nobody on the team exceeded 50 yards rushing or receiving, so it's hard to tell how much of a role the knee injury Williams has been nursing played in his ineffectiveness. He spent much of the fourth quarter on the sidelines, but Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times believes Williams was being held out as a precaution given the game's blowout nature. The banged-up wide receiver will get an opportunity to heal further during the Chargers' Week 7 bye.

Robinson caught four passes for 53 yards in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

During the first half, it appeared that Robinson was on his way to another terrible performance, but with the team trailing in the second half, Fields made was able to connect three additional times with Chicago's top receiver. As a result, Robinson reached the 50-yard mark for the second time this season. Unless his production shows significant improvement, fantasy managers will need to consider their lineup options carefully before slotting him in.

Shenault recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Dolphins.

After being curiously absent from the Jaguars' offensive gameplan in Week 5, Shenault tied for the team lead with 10 targets in Sunday's win. That didn't lead to much production, as he averaged only 5.4 yards per target with his longest receptions going for 12 yards. Despite the inefficiency, Shenault has now seen at least seven targets in four of six games on the campaign and has reached double-digit looks on two occasions.
