  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Impressive in return from injury

    Coker brought in six of 13 targets for 97 yards in the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Carolina.

    Making his return from a one-game absence due to a quadriceps injury, Coker picked up right where he left off while tying for the team lead in receptions and setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. Coker also had a game-long 32-yard catch, and he now has at least six grabs in three of his first four games. With a 24-319-2 line through four contests, the speedy third-year wideout is well on his way to setting new career bests as he heads into a Week 7 home matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Quiet day despite QB's success

    Odunze brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Odunze was third in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon, but considering Caleb Williams recorded 30 completions for 305 yards, the wideout's numbers were modest. Odunze has three or fewer catches in all but one game to date in 2026, and his spotty efficiency can sometimes be a hindrance to him maximizing his fantasy potential. Odunze will look to build on his numbers in a Week 7 home matchup against a talented Patriots secondary Thursday night.

  • Bears' Luther Burden: Remains busy in Week 6 win

    Burden secured all eight targets for 95 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Burden led the Bears in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon where the returning Caleb Williams threw for 305 yards and just six incompletions. The speedy second-year wideout was the returning signal-caller's favorite target, as the duo quickly rekindled their connection. Burden has made good on the elevated Year 2 expectations to date in 2026, posting a 31-361-1 line on 43 targets over the first six games as a Week 7 home matchup against the Patriots approaches Thursday night.

  • Jets' Omar Cooper: Paces air attack in return

    Cooper brought in six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Making his return from a four-game stint on injured reserve due to an ankle sprain suffered on the opening possession of the season, Cooper hit the ground running and finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The Indiana product also recorded his first NFL touchdown on a 48-yard strike from Geno Smith early in the third quarter, and his instant production despite the layoff gives his fantasy outlook a significant boost heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Dolphins.

  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Looks good in return

    Smith brought in seven of 14 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Smith had an eventful day in his return from a two-game absence, leading the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. Smith also worked around getting briefly shaken up following a long incompletion where he appeared to have taken a blow to the chest area, and he added his second touchdown reception of the campaign via a 19-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. Smith displayed solid chemistry with fill-in signal-caller Tanner McKee, certainly a welcome development considering Jalen Hurts (IR, calf) is sidelined indefinitely.

  • Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Solid production with six catches

    McMillan secured six of nine targets for 86 yards in the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    McMillan tied for the team lead in receptions with Jalen Coker while finishing second to his talented position mate in receiving yards and targets. The 2025 first-round pick was coming off a career-best 14-catch, 192-yard performance that also included two touchdowns against the Lions back in Week 4, and he's gone for at least 75 receiving yards in four of his first five games of the campaign as a Week 7 home divisional showdown against the Buccaneers approaches.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Modest production on 10 targets

    London brought in four of 10 targets for 62 yards in the Falcons' 31-23 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    London finished second in both receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for the Falcons, while also setting the pace in targets. The star wideout couldn't quite capitalize on a Bears defense that had proven beatable at times over the first five games of the season, and London ultimately equaled his second-lowest catch total of the campaign despite also tying his second-highest target tally. Despite the inefficient performance, London will take a formidable 31-550-0 line on 47 targets into a Week 7 home showdown with the 49ers on Sunday.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Four catches in Week 6 loss

    Wilson brought in four of six targets for 44 yards in the Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Wilson had an early catch and then had a quiet middle portion of the game before rounding out his line some in the fourth quarter. Wilson still finished with a disappointing line overall, as his reception and receiving yards totals were both his second lowest of the campaign. Geno Smith has undergone his fair share of struggles in his return to New York this season, but Wilson remains his top target with 48 looks from the veteran signal-caller over the first six games. Wilson will take a 35-418-3 line into a Week 7 home matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Patriots' A.J. Brown: Inefficient with 10 targets in return

    Brown secured three of 10 targets for 27 yards in the Patriots' 26-19 win over the Jets on Sunday and fumbled once but recovered.

    Brown's return from a four-game absence due to an ankle injury largely fell flat, but it could have been a lot more productive had it not been for his clear drop on a nicely thrown deep pass from Drake Maye early in the second quarter. Brown has already seen 23 targets from Maye over the two games the star receiver has suited for, so the chemistry is bound to continue to blossom once they finally have an uninterrupted stretch of games to work together. Brown won't have to wait long to try and atone, however, as the Patriots are back in action Thursday night on the road against the Bears.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Six catches in Week 6 loss

    Flowers brought in six of 11 targets for 66 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Ravens' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Flowers set the pace for the Ravens in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, displaying solid chemistry with Tyler Huntley once again. The speedy wideout has no fewer than five catches and 53 receiving yards in any game this season, and he's recorded a 14-118-0 line over the last two games alone with Huntley under center. Flowers will remain a must-play wideout regardless of who's helming the Ravens offense in a Week 7 home matchup against the division-rival Bengals next Sunday.
