Miller didn't draw a target while playing 26 of the Steelers' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.

Miller has been active for all five of Pittsburgh's games to date but has yet to record a reception and has drawn just one target. The 26 snaps he played Week 6 were a season-high total and ranked second among Steelers wideouts, but Miller was unable to capitalize on the increased time on the field. Despite the underwhelming showing in Week 6, Miller could in store for another boosted snap count Thursday against the Bengals with fellow receiver Calvin Austin (shoulder) seemingly trending toward missing a second straight game.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that Palmer (ankle) is viewed as week-to-week, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Palmer was forced out of the first half of Monday's 24-14 loss to the Falcons with an ankle injury, finishing the night with two receptions for 60 yards. Though Palmer may have been hard-pressed to make it back to the field if the Bills played on Sunday this week, he'll benefit from Buffalo being on bye for Week 7. The wideout will still need to resume practicing in some fashion during Week 8 to have a chance at playing in the Bills' next game Oct. 26 versus the Panthers.

Heath failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.

Heath saw his highest snap share of the season Sunday, playing 46 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps after averaging a 26 percent snap share over the team's first four games. Despite the uptick in playing time, the third-year wideout was unable to get anything going against a vulnerable defense. Considering Heath is already buried on the depth chart and teammate Christian Watson (knee) is nearing his return, the 25-year-old is best ignored for fantasy purposes going forward. Up next for Green Bay is a Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals.

Johnson secured all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-19 win over the 49ers in Week 6. He also returned one kickoff for 31 yards and ran back one punt for six yards.

Johnson put together a career-best line on a career-high 26 snaps (49 percent), as the early exit of Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) coupled with the absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) opened up plenty of opportunities for Tampa Bay's depth wideouts. Johnson topped off his performance with his first career TD, a 34-yard grab late in the first half. While Evans may return for Monday night's showdown against the Lions in Week 7, Godwin and Egbuka could both miss the contest, meaning Johnson could see an expanded role again.

Wallace failed to record a single target in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams.

Wallace played just seven of the Ravens' 78 offensive snaps behind fellow wide receivers Zay Flowers (71), Rashod Bateman (44) and DeAndre Hopkins (26). The 26-year-old Wallace failed to record a reception for the fourth time through six games. Wallace has not been a big part of Baltimore's offensive plans, as he's been targeted just five times so far this season. Wallace should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Ravens host the Bears on Oct. 26 following the team's Week 7 bye.

Dortch caught all three of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.

Dortch's trip to the end zone was his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout's 44 percent offensive snap share was his second highest mark of the season, likely due to teammate Marvin Harrison leaving the game early due to a concussion suffered in the second quarter of the contest. Despite scoring his first touchdown of the season and playing more snaps in Week 6, Dortch remains very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even if Harrison is sidelined for a Week 7 matchup against the Packers.

Harris caught four passes on five targets for 27 yards during the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Harris was thrust into a larger offensive role Sunday due to Quentin Johnston being ruled out with a hamstring injury. Harris proceeded to play a season-high 53 snaps on offense and finished tied with Keenan Allen for third on the Chargers in both catches and receiving yards. Harris' would revert to a rotational role for Week 7 against the Colts if Johnston were cleared to return.

Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Tuesday's practice report, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Jones has posted back-to-back DNP estimates to begin the week, putting his status in jeopardy for Thursday night against the Steelers. If Jones can't play, Jermaine Burton would make sense as the next man up to handle return duties for the Bengals.

The Broncos placed Thomas (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Ben Swanson of the team's official site reports.

The nature and severity of Thomas' injury isn't clear, but he won't be eligible to be elevated to the Broncos' active roster for at least four games. That makes Week 11 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 16 the earliest he would be able to be called up from the practice squad.

The Cowboys waived Cropper on Tuesday.

The move corresponds with the impending returns of fellow wideouts CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot), and the Cowboys are hoping that Cropper can clear waivers and return to the team on the practice squad, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. Cropper played in the Cowboys' last three games and saw additional work as a returner during Sunday's 30-27 road loss to the Panthers. He finished that contest with 38 yards on two kickoff returns and 19 yards on two punt returns.
