Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Atwell (hamstring) is expected to return to action Week 7 against the Jaguars, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Atwell missed Sunday's 17-3 win over Baltimore due to a hamstring issue, but in the two games prior he totaled a 3-160-1 line on six targets. With star wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) considered day-to-day and uncertain to face Jacksonville, it would be a notable boost for Matthew Stafford and Los Angeles' passing offense to get a field stretcher as capable as Atwell back in the lineup.

Robinson had two receptions (on three targets) for 44 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

Robinson was demoted to No. 4 on the 49ers' depth chart with the return of Jauan Jennings (ribs) to the starting lineup Sunday. The 30-year-old Robinson still finished with his highest yardage total since joining San Francisco this past offseason after breaking off a 31-yard reception in the second quarter. Robinson logged only 13 snaps (19 percent) for a shorthanded offense Sunday, a concerning trend for a player who was expected to step into a larger role with his new club. The veteran wideout makes for a risky play Week 7 against the Falcons with such a limited role.

Smith didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos.

Smith had one deep ball thrown his way, but Justin Fields failed to connect with the rookie speedster. That wasn't a surprising outcome considering Fields threw for only 45 yards in the game. Smith could get more involved in the offense against the Panthers in Week 7 if Garrett Wilson (knee) sits out or is limited.

Dulin had two kick returns for an average of 29.5 yards in Sunday's win over Arizona. He played just one snap on offense.

Dulin had five targets and two receptions for 55 yards the previous week against Las Vegas, but moved back to a bench role with Alec Pierce returning from a concussion. Dulin is a key player on special teams but could still be used as a fourth receiver, as he may have moved ahead of Adonai Mitchell on the depth chart. Mitchell was a healthy inactive for Sunday's game.

Johnson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos.

Justin Fields threw for just 45 yards, so Johnson unsurprisingly failed to get involved in the low-scoring loss. Even if Garrett Wilson (knee) were to sit out Week 7 against the Panthers, Johnson's upside would be capped due to Fields' struggles throwing the ball.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Nacua (ankle) is "day-to-day," Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.

The star wideout suffered a left ankle sprain during Sunday's 17-3 win at Baltimore, but Nacua being described in such a manner by McVay is a touch more optimistic than a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that suggested he's set to miss time. Nacua's status appears uncertain at best for Los Angeles' matchup against the Jaguars in London in Week 7, and a Week 8 bye could nudge the team in the direction of caution. McVay hasn't ruled Nacua out yet for this coming Sunday's game, Dragon confirms, so final clarity on his status likely won't arrive until the Rams have had a chance to evaluate him at practice. Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports that scans have indicated Nacua isn't dealing with a long-term injury.

Wilson secured his lone target for 12 yards during Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.

Wilson was on the field for 15 offensive snaps Sunday, which was his highest mark since the Steelers' Week 2 loss to Seattle. Part of his uptick in playing time was likely due to Calvin Austin (shoulder) being sidelined. Although Wilson had a catch while racking up double-digit receiving yards for the first time this season, he has minimal fantasy value, even if Austin misses more time.

Skowronek wasn't targeted during Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.

Although Calvin Austin (shoulder) was sidelined for Pittsburgh's Week 6 matchup Sunday, Skowronek played most of his snaps on special teams and wasn't involved in the passing game. Skowronek has been targeted just once over the Steelers' last four games, and he has minimal fantasy value, even if Austin is forced to miss more time.

Williams recorded 14 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The rookie wideout didn't record a catch despite being targeted twice. Through six games, Williams has caught just two passes on four targets for 20 yards, and while his role could grow as the season progresses, for now he remains behind Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas in the Patriots' WR pecking order.

Westbrook-Ikhine failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.

Westbrook-Ikhine played a 37 percent of offensive snaps versus Los Angeles, but he finished with zero receiving yards for the third time in his last four appearances. Even with Tyreek Hill (IR, knee) out for the year, Westbrook-Ikhineappears to still be an afterthought on offense for the Dolphins, with all of Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, tight end Darren Waller and running back De'Von Achane clearly positioned above him. Westbrook-Ikhine figures to remain in a reserve role on the road against Cleveland in Week 7.
