Brown caught five of seven targets for 56 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 42-36 overtime win over Houston.

Brown has three touchdowns in two games since returning from a two-game absence due to a knee injury. His first touchdown was a six-yarder in the first quarter, while Brown's seven-yard score with four seconds to go forced overtime. As the No. 1 wide receiver in a high-powered Titans offense that's averaging 32.8 points per game, Brown should maintain plenty of fantasy appeal in Week 7 despite a tricky matchup against the Steelers.

Perriman (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

The return of Perriman, who hasn't played since Week 2, should provide a needed boost to the Jets' pass-catching corps in the coming weeks, as he's in line to resume a key role alongside Jamison Crowder, the team's receiving leader. The duo will catch passes from Joe Flacco on Sunday, with Sam Darnold (shoulder) inactive. That's a context that makes Perriman a speculative fantasy play in his return to the lineup following a multi-week injury.

Fountain (coach's decision) is inactive Week 6 against the Bengals.

Despite opportunity knocking in Indy due to multiple injuries at the wide receiver position, Fountain has been unable to capitalize. He saw the field for a total of 49 snaps from Weeks 2 through 4, but has now been a healthy scratch in back-to-back weeks. It appears the likes of Marcus Johnson, Ashton Dulin and DeMichael Harris have leapfrogged Fountain in the race for the No. 3 WR spot.

Moore (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

Moore logged a full-speed practice Friday, but his season debut will remain on hold for the time being. This likely is more of a personnel decision than an injury concern, as Miles Boykin (thigh) and Devin Duvernay are both good to go Sunday. Moore will set his sight on returning in Week 8 against the Steelers.

Cephus (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.

Cephus attracted 13 combined targets Weeks 1 and 2, including a gargantuan 10 targets during the season-opening loss to Chicago, but his offensive involvement has completely fallen by the wayside with the return of Kenny Golladay to the lineup. The reigning Pro Bowl wideout sat out Detroit's first two contests of the year because of a hamstring injury, but with that issue having been cleared upon Golladay's Sept. 27 return against Arizona, Cephus has been relegated to a healthy-scratch designation for the first time in 2020.

Boykin (thigh) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Boykin was added to the Ravens' injury report after a thigh issue limited his activity in the team's final practice of the week Friday, but he moved around well enough in pregame warmups to gain clearance. After playing more than two-thirds of the Ravens' offensive snaps in each of the first three games of the season, Boykin lost work to rookie Devin Duvernay in both of the past two contests. Boykin played 54 percent of the snaps Week 4 and 57 percent of the snaps Week 5, logging two of six receptions for 28 yards between those games.

Slayton (foot) is listed as active Sunday against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

After a week in which he was listed as limited on every practice report due to a foot injury, Slayton is upholding coach Joe Judge's expectation from Friday that the second-year wide receiver will play Week 6. On the season, Slayton has taken full advantage of his 40 targets through five games, putting up a respectable 23-365-2 line. He'll look to add to it versus a Washington defense that has allowed 8.95 YPT (12th-highest figure in the NFL) to wide receivers in 2020.

Samuel (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

Per a report from David Newton of ESPN.com earlier Sunday, Samuel was expected to suit up, but in the interim the Panthers have opted to keep him sidelined due to the knee concern that limited him in practice this week. In Samuel's absence, Seth Roberts and Pharoh Cooper will fill in behind starting wide receivers DJ Moore and Robby Anderson.

Beckham (illness) is active Week 6 against the Steelers.

The Cleveland injury report looked grim at one point this week, but Sunday's official inactive list confirms that Beckham will be suiting up alongside starting quarterback Baker Mayfield (chest) and fellow wideout Jarvis Landry (ribs). It should be business as usual for Beckham, who has had six or more targets come his way in each game this season. He'll be going up against a Pittsburgh secondary that has given up exactly two touchdowns to opposing receivers in three of four games this season.

Chark (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Chark's status came down to a game-time call after he only managed one limited practice this week due to an ankle injury, but he demonstrated enough health in his pregame workout to receive the green light to play. The wideout is expected to handle his normal starting role Sunday, and he should benefit from a plus matchup versus a soft Lions pass defense that's missing No. 1 cornerback Desmond Trufant (hamstring).
