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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pickens caught six of 11 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Pickens caught his only first-half target for 16 yards. He was much busier in the second half and ended up edging out CeeDee Lamb by three receiving yards for the team lead, though Lamb led the Cowboys with nine catches on 18 targets. Pickens has picked up the pace following a slow start, notching at least 73 receiving yards in four consecutive games after posting just 68 yards in Weeks 1 and 2 combined. After scoring a career-high nine touchdowns in 2025, he's still stuck on one TD heading into a Week 7 road game against the slumping Eagles.

Flournoy caught seven of nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Flournoy has emerged as the clear third option in the passing game for Dallas, knocking an underperforming Jake Ferguson down the target totem pole. Flournoy's nine targets trailed CeeDee Lamb's 18 and George Pickens' 11 on a night where Dak Prescott attempted 54 passes. Flournoy found the end zone late with a six-yard score, and he's now posted 23 catches for 234 yards and one score on 36 targets through six games. He's an elite bench stash in the event something happens to Lamb or Pickens.
