TWELVE TARGETS
Germie Bernard caught 11 passes on 12 targets on Sunday and is Pittsburgh’s second receiver until Roman Wilson’s finger heals. Eleven for 87 and a touchdown, after six for 80 the week before. That is two straight weeks of starter volume. He was on this list last week. He is still on waivers in more than half of leagues. He should not be. Pittsburgh plays New Orleans at 9:30 a.m. Eastern on Sunday. Set it Saturday night.

THE BACKFIELD, AFTER THE BYE
Rachaad White is Washington’s lead running back with Jacory Croskey-Merritt on injured reserve for at least four games. On Monday night he took 60% of the backfield touches and targets: seven carries for 27 yards and four catches for 30 and a touchdown. Croskey-Merritt had nearly half the work before he got hurt; White gets most of it, with Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols behind him. The catch: Washington is on bye in Week 7. Claim him now if you can wait a week. He starts again in Week 8.

A FAIR BID$11–$1711–17% OF THE FAAB YOU HAVE LEFT
BACK FROM IR, 103 YARDS
Omar Cooper Jr. came off injured reserve and ran a route on almost every Jets pass play, and he got 103 yards and a touchdown for it. Six catches on seven targets at New England. He is the first-round rookie who sprained his ankle in Week 1. On Sunday he drew nearly a quarter of the targets. One game is one game, and Geno Smith is the quarterback. But the playing time is the hard part, and the playing time was there. Miami visits the Jets on Sunday. He is rostered in 3% of leagues. That will not last.

DOUBS ON IR
DeMario Douglas drew a quarter of New England’s targets on Sunday, and Romeo Doubs is on injured reserve for at least four games. Seven catches for 86 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. He had two touchdowns the week before. Doubs was the team’s leading receiver by yards. With him out, New England has four wide receivers on the roster, and A.J. Brown is the only one ahead of Douglas. The Patriots play at Chicago on Thursday night, so claim him today and set your lineup Thursday afternoon.

POCKET CHANGE$4–$74–7% OF THE FAAB YOU HAVE LEFT
TWENTY CARRIES
Kendre Miller got 20 carries on Sunday, almost three times as many as Alvin Kamara. Twenty for 70 yards, plus two catches. Travis Etienne Jr. is on injured reserve. Kamara still catches passes and scores, so Miller is not a workhorse yet. He is the early-down back in a backfield that needs one. New Orleans plays Pittsburgh at 9:30 a.m. Eastern on Sunday. Rostered in a third of leagues.

POCKET CHANGE$2–$32–3% OF THE FAAB YOU HAVE LEFT
LAST BACK STANDING
Jaleel McLaughlin took more than half of Cleveland’s backfield work with Quinshon Judkins inactive, and Judkins still has no timeline. Nine carries for 41 yards and four catches for 14. Audric Estime got nine carries too and scored the touchdown, so this is a split. Raheim Sanders is on injured reserve. If Judkins sits again, McLaughlin is the back to own at Tennessee on Sunday. If Judkins plays, McLaughlin is a backup. Small bid.

22% OF THE TARGETS
Michael Mayer caught seven passes for 95 yards on Sunday and is on the field for four of every five Raiders snaps. Nine targets, 22% of the team’s throws. Kirk Cousins threw 41 times. The week before, Mayer caught one pass, so this is not a sure thing. But a tight end who never leaves the field gets the throws eventually, and most leagues are starting someone who does less. The Rams visit Las Vegas on Sunday.

SCORED, AGAIN SHORTHANDED
Roschon Johnson took 42% of Chicago’s backfield work and scored, with Kyle Monangai still out with turf toe. Thirteen carries for 51 and a touchdown, two catches for 34, and a fumble. D’Andre Swift is still the lead back. Chicago hosts New England on Thursday night, so there is no time to wait on Monangai’s practice reports. A deep-league flex for one week.

ADAMS' TARGETS
Tyler Higbee was on the field for 83% of the Rams’ snaps on Sunday, and Davante Adams’ targets have to go somewhere for six to ten weeks. Four catches for 22 and a fumble, which is why people are dropping him. Before that, three straight games of five-plus catches. Adams was drawing nearly a fifth of the Rams’ targets. Puka Nacua gets the most of it. Higbee gets some of it. That is a starting tight end in 12-team leagues. At Las Vegas on Sunday.

MCLAURIN'S SNAPS
Treylon Burks drew six targets after Terry McLaurin was carted off on Monday night, and McLaurin’s knee may cost him the season. Four catches for 66 yards. Stefon Diggs is the top receiver. Burks and rookie Antonio Williams split what is left, and nobody knows the split yet. Washington is on bye in Week 7, so this is a claim for later. Rostered in almost no leagues. Deep leagues only, and only if you have the bench room.

TWO STRAIGHT TDS
Jaylin Noel has scored in two straight games and caught all nine passes thrown to him in that stretch. Four for 107 and a touchdown on Sunday, five for 41 and a touchdown the week before. He is on the field for about half the snaps, which is why he is not a starter yet. Tank Dell is expected to make his season debut Sunday, on a light snap count, and could take some of that. The Giants visit Houston on Sunday. A deep-league bench add.

OUTRAN THE STARTER
Bam Knight ran for 80 yards on 15 carries with Jeremiyah Love out, more yards than Tyler Allgeier got on 18. He also caught two passes for 18. Allgeier is still the lead back, and Love’s ankle was not considered an injured reserve problem. So Knight is the second back in a two-man split, for as long as Love sits. Denver visits Arizona on Sunday. Rostered in almost no leagues.

SUPERFLEX ONLY
Tanner McKee is Philadelphia’s starting quarterback for the rest of the season, because Jalen Hurts is expected to miss it while he is treated for blood clots. McKee threw 45 times for 215 yards and a touchdown against Carolina. That is a lot of throws and not many yards. He does not run. In one-quarterback leagues he is a backup. In superflex leagues he is a starter from here on. Dallas comes to Philadelphia on Monday night.

THE OTHER HALF
Antonio Williams is the other Washington receiver in line for Terry McLaurin’s routes, and he has caught everything thrown to him for two weeks. Three catches for 50 on four targets Monday, three for 31 on three the week before. He is a rookie, and rookies get more snaps as the season goes on. Washington is on bye in Week 7. If you can only stash one Commander receiver, flip a coin; I would take Burks by a hair.

ADAMS' ROUTES
Konata Mumpfield is the Rams receiver most likely to pick up Davante Adams’ snaps, and Adams is out six to ten weeks. Adams ran a route on more than four of every five Rams pass plays. Mumpfield has run one on about two in five. Two catches for 15 on Sunday. The Rams throw to Puka Nacua first, second and third, so the job is worth less than it sounds. In deep leagues it is still a job. At Las Vegas on Sunday.

EVANS AND DEEBO OUT
Brandin Cooks moves into San Francisco’s top two receivers with Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. both hurt. Evans’ Achilles is reported intact, but he is expected to miss time; Samuel has a hamstring. Cooks caught one pass for 13 on Monday night. The 49ers throw to George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey a lot, so the leftover targets are thin. San Francisco plays at Atlanta on Sunday. Deep leagues, for a week or two.

Nobody on this week’s board is rostered that lightly. Loosen the filter.
