  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Done for night

    Turpin (ribs) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest versus the Packers, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Turpin has been sidelined since the first play of the game, and he will now be forced to miss the remainder of Week 6. In his absence, running back Tyler Goodson has taken over as the team's kick returner while wide receiver Jonathan Mingo has been handling the team's punt returns.

  • Titans' Wan'Dale Robinson: Held to two catches in win

    Robinson caught three of seven targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 26-20 win over the Colts.

    Robinson finished tied for the team lead in targets with fellow wideout Carnell Tate, but he finished with 22 or fewer receiving yards for the second time in three weeks and the third time overall this season. The wide receiver, along with the rest of Tennessee's offense, is incredibly inconsistent, but he has seen at least five targets in four straight games.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Steelers' DK Metcalf: Big volume in OT win

    Metcalf caught 11 of 15 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.

    The targets and catches were season highs for Metcalf, while the veteran WR came up just short of his second 100-yard performance in the last three weeks. Metcalf will take a 30-318-1 line on 52 targets into a Week 7 clash with the Saints in Paris.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Leads KC in receiving Sunday

    Worthy totaled seven catches on as many targets for 73 yards during Sunday's 22-6 victory versus the Chargers.

    Worthy served as the Chiefs' No. 1 WR in Week 6 with Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) on the pine, and the former paced the team in all receiving categories on an afternoon in which QB Patrick Mahomes didn't record a touchdown pass. There are bound to be weeks like Sunday in which a ground game led by RB Kenneth Walker keeps Kansas City's offense humming along, but if Rice continues to miss time, Worthy figures to be among the team's leading pass catchers on a weekly basis.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Modest outing in Week 6

    Adams caught three of four targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 18-16 defeat against the Cardinals.

    In the two games with Puka Nacua unavailable this season, Adams struck for 195 (Week 2 vs. the Giants) and 137 receiving yards (Week 3 at Denver). However, in the other four contests with Nacua in the lineup, Adams has combined for a 12-148-2 line on 26 targets. The TD maven is always a threat to strike in any given matchup, and Adams will aim to do just that next Sunday in Las Vegas.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Leads team in receiving in Week 6 win

    Jeudy caught all four targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Ravens.

    Jeudy's four targets were third on the team, but he made the most of them and ended up leading the Browns in receiving on a day Deshaun Watson threw for just 164 yards and no touchdowns. The veteran wideout entered Week 6 with just eight catches for 81 yards and can largely be ignored in fantasy as Cleveland's fourth or fifth option on offense most weeks.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Huge day despite QB turmoil

    Nabers caught 12 of 15 targets for 165 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints.

    Jameis Winston got benched in favor of J.J. McCarthy in the fourth quarter after throwing his second interception of the day, but Nabers stayed busy no matter who was under center for the Giants, leading the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. The third-year wideout topped 100 yards for a third straight game, a stretch in which he's racked up a 29-398-2 line on 42 targets, but a potential full-time switch to McCarthy under center will create a little extra uncertainty for Nabers heading into a Week 7 tilt against the Texans.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Injured during opening kickoff

    Turpin (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday night's matchup against Green Bay, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Turpin suffered an injury to his ribs during the game's opening kickoff, and his status for the rest of the contest is now unclear. In Turpin's absence, Dallas will have to find replacements at both kick returning and punt returning vs. the Packers.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Just short of TD on 57-yard catch

    Johnston caught one of three targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Chiefs.

    Johnston needed just one catch to set a season high in receiving yards, but he was tackled at the 1-yard line to keep him without a touchdown this season after consecutive eight-touchdown regular seasons. The Chargers proceeded to back up 11 yards from there and settled for a field goal. Johnston has caught a deep pass in each of the past two games, securing a 44-yard catch in the Week 5 loss to Seattle prior to the 57-yard catch against the Chiefs. The 2023 first-round pick has just eight catches through five appearances heading into LA's Week 7 bye.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Paces team in receiving in Week 6 win

    Douglas caught seven of eight targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets.

    A.J. Brown returned to the lineup from his ankle injury and led the team with 10 targets, but he dropped multiple passes and finished with a 3-27-0 receiving line. After Romeo Doubs left with a shoulder injury early in the first half following a long touchdown grab, Douglas stepped into an increased offensive role. He ran 26 routes on Drake Maye's 35 dropbacks, and Douglas caught a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter. He's posted back-to-back big box scores after logging 4-65-2 receiving last Sunday against Las Vegas. The Patriots' slot man doesn't have a big fantasy ceiling but looks like a passable WR4 during bye-weeks crunches headed into Thursday night's game against the Bears.
