Week 6 RB SNAPS
TEAM FANTASY NOTES
JAX: Brian Thomas Jr. dropped what would have been this third consecutive week with a score. The Jags are a mess, but you can count on their rookie receiver with regularity.
CHI: Caleb Williams has thrown for 530 yards and six touchdowns over the past two weeks (90 rushing yards). Jayden Daniels has stolen the headlines early this season, but the first overall pick is very much trending in a positive direction and allows you to feel good about playing your Chicago skill guys.
AZ: Consistency continues to be a problem for this offense and without Marvin Harrison for plenty of this game, Trey McBride was essentially their only option. Trey Benson is a worthwhile add -- but he should be rostered across the board.
GB: As it turns out, if you have a Packer receiver, you just blindly play him and hope. Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks went down with injuries against the Cardinals, so of course Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs combined for three scores. Reed is the only stable force among the pass catchers, but they all have a weekly ceiling that is interesting in DFS builds.
IND: Flacco missed Alec Pierce on what could have been a 60-yard TD. If that hits, he provides value to three receivers again. It didn't, but if he remains the starter, you can feel fine about any of the receivers you have. Tyler Goodson (8 carries for 51 yards, mostly coming on a 33 yarder) may have made this backfield a no-fly zone until Jonathan Taylor comes back
TEN: Tony Pollard scored from 23 yards out on a 3-and-10 ... he now has 3 games with 80+ rush yards and a rush TD, which is three more than he had last season with Dallas.
HOU: Just your casual 132-yard 2-TD return for Joe Mixon. WIth Nico Collins on the shelf for the next three games (at minimum), Mixon is going to be leaned on heavily and he looked at full strength in this spot.
NE: Some will say that Drake Maye benefited from garbage time ... others will say he better get good at doing that! He had 3 TD passes and 38 rushing yards. He might not be your prototype, but he's going to be on DFS lineups of mine in the not so distant future.
TB: Baker gave us a Jameis Winston performance and Bucky Irving continued to look great (maybe the stiff arm of the year up to this point?). Mike Evans went down -- Jalen McMillan is the add and you're starting basically any Buc on your roster given how they play.
NO: Spencer Rattler looked good for one quarter and looked like a fifth round rookie in the other three. Alvin Kamara bailed you out with a TD and a bunch of dump offs -- good to see some things don't change. I still think his floor is a concern moving forward for as long as Carr is sidelined.
CLE: There's nothing here. I understand that Nick Chubb is probably back and with Jerome Ford hurt, maybe he walks into a viable role, but the volume is unlikely to be elite right off the bat and with this offense struggling to get in scoring position, I'd rather not invest.
PHI: A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith returned and this pass game was potent, go figure! Both stars had big touchdowns while Brown iced the game with a 40-yard grab. This is an easy team -- you start the stars who are healthy (Dallas Goedert got dinged up, but if active, he's involved enough to be considered a starter).
WAS: Jayden Daniels couldn't beat the Ravens, but he showed just fine for himself, hitting on a number of timing routes that you rarely see rookies have the confidence to throw, let alone complete. He remains an elite fantasy option and Terry McLaurin is the only pass catcher you can trust alongside him.
BAL: I said that Mark Andrews was a decent sell-high option last week and if that was the case then, it's certainly the case now after his HUGE 3-catch day (66 yards and a TD). This is Lamar-Henry-Flowers and that's it
LAC: Can JK Dobbins continue to hold up? I'd be hard pressed to not sell him to the highest bidder and take my chances.
DEN: The Courtland Sutton touchdown was a thing of beauty, but counting on anyone in a Bo Nix offense feels like roster suicide. There might be a DFS spot to use a naked Nix, but outside of that, you're wise to overlook this team.
DET: Sam LaPorta had the highlight reel 52-yard TD, but are we not worried about that being his only target of the first half (16 pass attempts)?
DAL: Dak Prescott has as many multi-TD games as multi-INT games this season and looks lost. CeeDee Lamb is going to get there because he's CeeDee Lamb, but Jake Ferguson and all other skill guys in this offense offer more risk than reward until otherwise noted.
PIT: Najee Harris had an explosive run and a stretch across the line, so that was nice. The thing with this team is that the better they do, the less we benefit. Russell Wilson looms and could make George Pickens more appealing, but there's not a person on this team that I'm locking in weekly.
LV: If you needed evidence, Week 6 was it. I can't imagine that Davante Adams returns to this tire fire (despite reporting that it's possible) and outside of Brock Bowers, there isn't a rosterable person on this active roster.
ATL: Drake London has scored in four of the past five games, a trend that could continue with the Seahawks, Buccaneers, Cowboys, and Saints lined up over the next four weeks. The scary part? He's being utilized like an alpha WR and deserves to be viewed as such until otherwise noted.
CAR: Diontae Johnson gets it done, but the cute Andy Dalton run from Weeks 3-4 might have been more a matchup thing than anything else.Johnson is viable and Chub Hubbard continues to be great -- holding onto Jonathon Brooks at this point feels like burning a roster spot (if you don't have an IR spot)
