Rams | Davante Adams leaves loss with apparent left knee injury, does not return Sun Oct 18, 08:02 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams pulled up in the back of the end zone on the Rams' final drive of Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals, reached for his left knee and limped off the field.
| Footballguys view: He did not return, and further specifics of the injury are not yet known. Adams finished with three catches for 39 yards on four targets and has 27 catches for 441 yards and four touchdowns this season. We'll be watching for more on Adams' status as the team begins preparing for a Week 7 game with the Raiders. |

Raiders | Tucker catches 5 passes for 97 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Bills Sun Oct 18, 07:35 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 5 passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.2.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, somebody in the wide receiver room finally answered the bell. Tucker's 11-yard score tied the game at 23, and his diving 44-yard touchdown grab finished a 24-second drive. "I think he's faster than I realize he is, and there are times when I just need to launch, and he'll go get it," Cousins said when asked about his connection with Tucker. The Raiders play the Rams in Week 7. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey ruled out with concussion vs. Chiefs Sun Oct 18, 05:07 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs with a concussion. He caught 1 pass for 17 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 22-6 loss.
| Footballguys view: It seems like it is always going to be something with McConkey and durability, which was the one real concern about his translation to the NFL when he was in the 2024 NFL draft class and was selected early in the second round by the Chargers. The Chargers have a bye next week, so hopefully he'll be back for Week 8 with a chance to find his form once the Chargers are through the rough Week 4-10 stretch the schedule makers put together for this beleaguered team. |

Steelers | Bernard catches 11 passes for 87 yards, a touchdown in win over Buccaneers Sun Oct 18, 04:45 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Germie Bernard caught 11 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.2.
| Footballguys view: Bernard had a massive PPR day and scored the team's only touchdown in his first game as a starting wide receiver with three of his teammates at the position out for this game. Bernard was a priority waiver wire pickup last week and will be a strong WR3/Flex option against the Saints in Paris next week. |

Giants | Nabers catches 12 passes for 165 yards in loss to Saints Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 12 passes for 165 yards on 15 targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 13.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.5.
| Footballguys view: The good news is that Nabers put up a good chunk of this with JJ McCarthy after Jameis Winston was benched. McCarthy wasn't able to get on the same page with Justin Jefferson last year, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with his Southeast Louisiana pedigree #1 receiver with the Giants. |

Atlanta Falcons WR Jahan Dotson caught 3 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 5.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.2.

Patriots | Douglas catches 7 passes for 86 yards, a touchdown in win over Jets Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 7 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.1.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had two scores in a part-time role in Week 5, and he took on more work this week after Romeo Doubs left with a shoulder injury in the first quarter and now will be a clear add in fantasy leagues. He has the most dependable chemistry with Drake Maye of any of the healthy Patriots wide receivers after AJ Brown looked very rusty in his return against the Jets. |

Jets | Cooper catches 6 passes for 103 yards, a touchdown in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. caught 6 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 2.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.3.
| Footballguys view: Cooper scored a long touchdown against a busted coverage and still would have led the team in receiving yards and catches if you took that play away. Adonai Mitchell should be back soon from his finger injury, so you have to wonder how Garrett Wilson is going to deliver the WR2 value we expected when he was going in the 3rd/4th round with Cooper and Mitchell both looking like very viable targets that Geno Smith has good chemistry with. Cooper will be an add across formats with a good matchup against the Dolphins next week. |

Eagles | WR Dontayvion Wicks returns to the game Sun Oct 18, 04:00 PM
Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks has returned to Sunday's game against the Panthers after being injured in the fourth quarter.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, Wicks was tripped up by a Panthers defender at the end of a catch-and-run in the fourth quarter, and he went down to the turf before going to the sideline. He finished the day with two catches (on four targets) for 24 yards. |

Browns | Boston held to 1 catch for 15 yards in win over Ravens Sun Oct 18, 04:00 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston caught 1 pass for 15 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.0.
| Footballguys view: Jerry Jeudy has been a trade candidate, but he made the biggest play of the day for the Browns to set up the game-winning field goal. Jeudy led the team in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in receptions, which means this somewhat meager passing game is now going to be split four ways with KC Concepcion and Harold Fannin also figuring into the weekly game plan. The Browns are in first place, but there's not a reliable fantasy play on the roster. |

Browns | Jeudy viewed as trade candidate, but Browns 'not actively shopping him' Sun Oct 18, 04:00 PM
Browns WR Jerry Jeudy is viewed as a trade candidate, but Cleveland is not actively shopping him. Jeudy made a 33-yard catch on Sunday, an example of why the Browns are keeping him. Cleveland is atop the division, and Jeudy provides veteran WR experience.

Eagles | WR DeVonta Smith returns to the game Sun Oct 18, 03:50 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith exited briefly early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but was able le to return.
| Footballguys view: While Smith, who missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, returned, Pro Football Focus notes he didn't see his normal slate of snaps. He posted a 71% routes participation rate, often getting rotated out in 12 personnel, but also mixing out of 11 personnel more than usual. Still, Smith led the team with seven catches for 75 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown from Tanner McKee. His 20.5 fantasy points ranked eighth at the position through Sunday's late afternoon games. |

Giants | Darnell Mooney questionable to return, Charlie Jones 'getting a lot of snaps' Sun Oct 18, 03:26 PM
Giants WR Darnell Mooney (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints. The Giants are down to three wide receivers, and WR Charlie Jones is "getting a lot of snaps" with Mooney sidelined.
| Footballguys view: Mooney had been limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday with the neck injury. He finished the day with one catch for 20 yards. We'll be watching for more on his status in coming days. The Giants play the Texans in Week 7. |

Titans | Carnell Tate back in after being slammed to the ground vs. Colts, scores only Titans offensive touchdown in win Sun Oct 18, 03:04 PM
Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate was down momentarily after being slammed to the ground during Sunday's game against the Colts. Tate has since returned to the game. He finished with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and also drew a big pass interference penalty to set up the game-winning field goal.
| Footballguys view: Tate has looked like a #1 receiver in two of the last three games with fantasy numbers to match. Even though the Titans offense has been one of the worst in the league and Cam Ward isn't improving at quarterback, Tate has the demonstrated upside to stay in lineups as a WR3/Flex despite a tough matchup against Denzel Ward and the Browns next week. |

Palmer missed last week's game. WR DJ Moore (shoulder) was not taking reps during warmups for a second straight week, and it is "looking extremely possible" he sits again.

Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) was not doing much during pregame warmups on Sunday ahead of the Week 6 game at the Raiders, the second straight week that has been the case. Moore had no gloves on and his hood up while the rest of Buffalo's receivers ran routes against air, and he took no reps. It is "looking extremely possible" that Moore misses another game. He is officially questionable with a shoulder injury.

Ravens | Rashod Bateman ruled out for rest of game against Browns Sun Oct 18, 02:39 PM
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. Baltimore's remaining receivers are Zay Flowers, Ja'Kobi Lane, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester.
| Footballguys view: Ja'Kobi Lane becomes the #2 receiver and worth a pickup with Lamar Jackson due to return to soon, possibly even next week against the Bengals with the Ravens losing a divisional game today. |

Patriots WR Romeo Doubs was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets with 4:10 left. He is questionable to return (shoulder).

Texans | Stroud on Marvin Harrison Jr.: 'We'll get him more touches going forward' Sun Oct 18, 01:41 PM
Texans QB C.J. Stroud said on Sunday that WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will see more touches going forward after making his Texans debut in the Week 6 win over the Jaguars. "It felt like old times. I thought he looked great. We'll get him more touches going forward," Stroud said. Harrison was expected to play 15-20 snaps in his debut and was not on a full workload.
| Footballguys view: Harrison should be added in leagues where he was dropped and bench size allows. CJ Stroud may not be able to support Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jaylin Noel (who caught all four of his targets for over 100 yards and a score today) in addition to Nico Collins, but we can see that both Harrison and Noel will have a high weekly ceiling with defenses focused on Collins and the Texans struggling to establish the run. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. plays zero second-half snaps against the Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:57 PM
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. played zero snaps in the second half of Sunday's game against the Texans after playing 15 snaps in the first half, according to ESPN Research. No reason for his absence after halftime was given.
| Footballguys view: Trade talks should heat up during the Jaguars bye. They won't get what the Cardinals got for Marvin Harrison Jr. (Houston's 2nd round pick and 7th/6th swap), but teams that could have used Harrison but didn't want to pay that price - perhaps the Colts or Chiefs - might be interesting in acquiring Thomas. |

Jaguars | Hunter catches 4 passes for 59 yards, a touchdown in loss to Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter caught 4 passes for 59 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 0.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.9.
| Footballguys view: Hunter also had an end zone interception in the fourth quarter with the game tied. This was the kind of performance the Jaguars dreamed of when they moved up to the #2 pick to take Hunter last year. He might be inconsistent in non-IDP leagues, but now we can see what he is capable of limited offensive snaps. He's worth carrying through the bye in redraft leagues if bench size allows. Congrats if you have him in IDP leagues where his stats count on both sides of the ball, especially if you can play him as a defensive back. |

Texans | Noel catches 4 passes for 107 yards, a touchdown in win over Jaguars Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel caught 4 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 5.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.7.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy football math doesn't always make sense. The addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. immediately opened up even more big play possibilities for Noel in the same way that trading him away made teams pay more attention to Michael Wilson. Noel is going into his bye, but should be on rosters in PPR leagues where bench size allows. |
