Jalen Tolbert WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Just one target in loss
Tolbert caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.
While the fourth-year wideout saw a 91 percent snap share on offense, that didn't translate into any kind of meaningful pass volume for a second straight contest, as Ryan Flournoy (9-144-0 in 15 targets in those two games) has clearly surpassed Tolbert as a trusted target for Dak Prescott. Tolbert's role figures to shrink further once CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) return, and it wouldn't be a shock if he got bumped from the regular game-day roster completely at that point.

Jaydon Blue RB | DAL
Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Barely sees field Sunday
Blue gained zero yards on three carries in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.
The rookie running back saw only five snaps (nine percent) on offense as Javonte Williams continues to dominate the workload in the Dallas backfield. Blue did gain 40 yards on two kickoff returns, but even that role will disappear once KaVontae Turpin (foot) gets healthy. Blue's only fantasy value right is as insurance against a Williams injury.

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Expected to play Monday
Samuel (heel) is expected to be active for Monday night's game against the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Commanders haven't yet made an official decision about Samuel's status since listing him as questionable on Saturday's injury report, per Commanders writer Ben Standig, but he appears to be trending in the right direction for Monday Night Football. As such, the final word on his availability may not arrive until roughly 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. With wide receivers Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) already ruled out for Monday, Samuel looks positioned for a significant workload as Washington's clear No. 1 WR if cleared to suit up versus Chicago.

Jordan Whittington WR | LAR
Rams' Jordan Whittington: Season-high three catches
Whittington secured three of four targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 17-3 victory against the Ravens.
In the wake of Puka Nacua (ankle) missing a considerable portion of the contest due to an ankle sprain, it was the second-year pro Whittington who saw the biggest uptick in play time, leading all Rams' wide receivers with 49 snaps on offense. The expanded stint on the field only led to a small uptick in Whittington's stat line, although he did set season-highs in catches and targets. If Nacua were to miss any time with his injury, it appears as though Whittington is most likely to step in alongside Davante Adams and assume a larger role, especially if Tutu Atwell (hamstring) isn't 100 percent next week against the Jaguars.

Budda Baker FS | ARI
Cardinals' Budda Baker: Solid outing in loss
Baker tallied six total tackles (three solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Baker has now recorded five-or-more total tackles in each of the Cardinals' first six games this season, bringing his season total to 41, which ranks fourth on the team. Despite this, he's had an underwhelming start to Arizona's 2025 campaign after posting 164 total tackles (second in the NFL) and five passes defended over 17 games in 2024. Baker is expected to remain one of the Cardinals' top defensive playmakers in the Week 7 matchup against the Packers.

Mack Wilson LB | ARI
Cardinals' Mack Wilson: Leading tackler in loss
Wilson recorded nine total tackles (six solo) and one interception in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.
The veteran linebacker from Alabama was dealing with an ankle injury prior to the Week 6 contest but still performed well, leading the Cardinals' defense with nine total stops. Additionally, he nabbed his first interception of the season, picking off Daniel Jones in the second quarter of Sunday's loss. Wilson has appeared in all six of Arizona's contests thus far, tallying a team-leading 50 total tackles and six passes defended. He's expected to remain an integral part of the team's defense heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Packers.

Tavius Robinson LB | BAL
Ravens' Tavius Robinson: Out for six-to-eight weeks
Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Robinson (foot) is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
The 26-year-old linebacker from Ole Miss broke his foot during the Ravens' Week 6 loss to the Rams, so the news on his extended absence comes as no surprise. Robinson appeared in all six of Baltimore's games this season prior to injury, recording 17 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. He's expected to be placed on injured reserve in the near future, and David Ojabo and Mike Green will likely receive increased opportunities at outside linebacker moving forward.

Maxx Crosby DE | LV
Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Sacks Ward twice Sunday
Crosy recorded three total tackles (all solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.
The All-Pro edge rusher was one of four Raiders to sack Cam Ward during Sunday's win. Crosby has now tallied 25 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and five passes defended, including one interception, over Las Vegas' first six games this season. He's expected to remain one of the NFL's premier defensive playmakers in the Week 7 divisional matchup against the Chiefs.

Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Minimal usage continues
Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-12 in over the Jaguars.
Bobo has been targeted just once over his first five games, and he has averaged just 11.2 offensive snaps per game. As long as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and rookie Tory Horton are healthy, Bobo won't have fantasy utility.

Devin White LB | LV
Raiders' Devin White: Does it all in Week 6
White tallied nine total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one interception in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.
The seventh-year pro created two turnovers for Las Vegas' defense, recording a strip-sack on Cam Ward and intercepting a pass intended for Chimere Dike in the second quarter of Sunday's win. After playing in just seven games and recording 19 total tackles for the Texans in 2024, White appears to have re-emerged as one of the league's premier inside linebackers. The 2019 first-round pick from LSU has now logged 48 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, two passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble while playing 100 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps through six games. He's expected to remain a key part of Las Vegas' defense in the Week 7 matchup against the Chiefs.
