Philadelphia at NY Giants
- Jalen Hurts' fantasy output was acceptable, but he and the Eagles offense seemed to lose energy as the game went on. Veterans like Lane Johnson are surprisingly speaking out about the predictability of the offense. Hopefully, new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo's playcalling and design will improve. Hurts and the value of all of the important players in the Eagles' offense are at a crossroads where they will either start to improve against Minnesota or remain underachievers going forward. Take a stand on which side of this debate you fall on with trades and moves this week.
- Dallas Goedert is the one player being utilized to his fullest in the Patullo offense, which was foreshadowed by Goedert's offseason comments about what his new offensive coordinator had in store for him. Goedert is an every-week start, and he had his best game of the season in Week 6.
- Jaxson Dart was outstanding as a runner and passer and outplayed Hurts in the win. Dart has lasting fantasy value as he did this without Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. The Giants are even in the market to add a receiver via trade.
- The Eagles lost #1 corner Quinyon Mitchell in this game and might not have him for the Week 7 game against the Vikings.
- Wan'Dale Robinson produced like a #1 receiver in the role for Dart for the first time. He's a priority pickup and a boom/bust WR3/Flex start against Denver.
- Theo Johnson didn't do much, but as a full-time player, he should be rostered due to the wave of improvement in this offense ushered in by Dart.
- Tyrone Tracy Jr. returned to the lineup, but he's clearly behind Cam Skattebo, who scored three times in the win. That should highlight the upside available for Dart if he gets in on a higher percentage of the touchdowns than he did in Week 6.
Denver vs NY Jets - London
- One week after a heroic fourth-quarter comeback against the Eagles, Bo Nix was inconsistent and failed to put up a good fantasy line against a Jets defense that was one of the worst in the league coming into Week 6. Nix is just a QBBC option vs. the Giants after we hoped he would graduate to every-week QB1 status for fantasy this year. We'll see if the Jets' defensive revival continues against the Panthers this week.
- Like Nix and the passing game, J.K. Dobbins didn't get going against the Jets run defense. Dobbins is a low-ceiling RB2, and RJ Harvey is just a bench stash for Dobbins' injury upside while this offense is sailing stormy seas.
- Courtland Sutton was blanketed by Sauce Gardner in a predictable development, but Troy Franklin's fumbles and his role in the offense isn't growing. Evan Engram is the #2 target behind Sutton, but still a low-ceiling play. Get Sutton back in your lineup against the Giants. Tetairoa McMillan has a test against Gardner this week.
- Justin Fields had the worst game of his career as a passer since his first game as an NFL quarterback in a terrible sign for where his development is. The Jets' pass offense isn't functional with him at the helm, and they just lost Garrett Wilson for multiple weeks with a knee injury. Fields is a potential sabotage drop, as his fantasy output is going to wildly vary, and he could get benched at any time if he doesn't improve.
- Breece Hall got 22 carries, but did little with them. After getting numerous targets from Fields in recent weeks, he didn't catch a pass. The best hope for his value is a trade to the Chiefs. Isaiah Davis was mediocre spelling Hall, but he has speculative deep league bench value with the possibility of becoming a starter if Hall is traded.
- If you're looking for someone to benefit from Wilson's absence, don't. Mason Taylor was barely used as a receiver in this game after two straight high-volume games coming in. Josh Reynolds will be the #1 receiver, but that's more a sign of the lack of credibility of this offense than an opportunity for fantasy football.
Seattle at Jacksonville
- Sam Darnold carried the offense on the road as the Jaguars shut down the Seahawks' running game. Darnold has turned into a high-floor play, although he has a tough matchup against the Texans in Week 7 on Monday night.
- AJ Barner had a long catch and run to ice the game, but otherwise was quiet one week after he scored twice. He's not an essential hold even though Darnold is adding value to his targets.
- The annoying Zach Charbonnet/Ken Walker III split isn't going away. Both are just flexes as basically 50/50 backfieldmates. Charbonnet gets more goal-line work, while Walker is more capable of breaking big plays. Don't get too discouraged, though, as the running game will improve as defenses adjust to Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the supporting cast making plays through the air.
- Trevor Lawrence was inconsistent as usual, but did enough to be a solid fantasy start as the team was playing from behind. He's a viable streamer/QB2/Superflex against the Rams in London in Week 7.
- Brian Thomas Jr. finally came through with a WR1 fantasy performance. He did have a costly drop at a key moment, but a long, fluky touchdown by Thomas was wiped off the board because Travis Hunter lined up in the neutral zone. It's not clicking for Hunter, who might be a sabotage drop at this point after yet another quiet fantasy showing following his first big play of the season in Week 5.
LA Chargers at Miami
- The Chargers adjusted after watching Justin Herbert take so many hits in Week 5 and relied more on a short passing game. Herbert's fantasy stock is rebounding and should continue to improve as the Chargers settled for five field goals in this game.
- Ladd McConkey stepped up with Quentin Johnston out because of a hamstring injury. He should be back in lineups every week after a slow start, even if Johnston returns against the Colts this week.
- Rookies Tre' Harris and Oronde Gadsden also helped replace Johnston. Gadsden tied with McConkey for the team lead in catches with seven, and Herbert kept going to him even after a costly fumble. There's a chance that Gadsden still has some value when Johnston returns. Harris wasn't a big factor, but he posted the same stats as Keenan Allen, whose role didn't change even though Johnston was out. Allen is more bench depth than an every-week play at this point.
- Kimani Vidal ran away with the starting job in the first week without Omarion Hampton. Hassan Haskins got minimal gains on his touches, while Vidal had numerous chunk plays as a runner and a touchdown catch as a receiver. Vidal is a high ceiling RB2/Flex going forward, and should have a long value window, as Hampton's injury is reportedly going to keep him out for longer than the four weeks required for him to sit on injured reserve.
- De'Von Achane had a very good game as a runner. The Chargers' run defense has been wilting in recent weeks and has to face Jonathan Taylor in Week 7.
- Darren Waller's snap count went up, but his targets and catches went down. He's still the #1 red zone target, as he scored a late go-ahead touchdown that didn't hold up.
- Jaylen Waddle had his second strong fantasy showing in a row with Tyreek Hill sidelined for the rest of the season. He should be in your lineup, buthe does have a tougher matchup this week against the Browns and Denzel Ward.
LA Rams at Baltimore
- The Rams offense underperformed because of a windy day, a Puka Nacua injury, and a self-defeating Ravens offense. Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams should be fine for a Week 7 vs. Jacksonville in London. Nacua is not a sure thing to play with a Week 8 bye on the other side of the trip across the pond.
- Jordan Whittington replaced Nacua and will be a viable WR3/Flex if Nacua is out in Week 7. Whittington's game after the catch makes a natural fit for Nacua's role.
- Cooper Rush was terrible for the second straight week and was eventually replaced by Tyler Huntley. It's not clear who would start if Lamar Jackson isn't ready to return from his hamstring injury after the bye.
- The team relied more on Derrick Henry, who ran well and should be trusted in lineups after the bye. He would have had a touchdown after getting the ball down to the one before halftime, but the team went to Mark Andrews on two unsuccessful tush push plays before going back to Henry on fourth down, when he was stopped.
- Zay Flowers' output was acceptable in PPR leagues, but he was part of two fumbles and not a symbol of success for this offense.
- Andrews only notched minimal gains on his receptions. Isaiah Likely is back to his full complement of snaps. Andrews isn't an essential hold through the bye, and he could be the subject of trade talks.
Arizona at Indianapolis
- Jacoby Brissett was so good as a passer that it makes you wonder how much production is left unharvested with Kyler Murray at quarterback. Murray is not going to lose his job to Brissett, but it might be better for the offense if he did. Brissett is likely to start in Week 7 vs. Green Bay as Murray nurses a foot injury. He has some value in 2QB/Superflex leagues.
- Michael Carter got the start after it was reported that Bam Knight would, but Knight still had more touches, including valuable goal-line opportunities, which he converted into one touchdown. Carter took over the passing-down role when Emari Demercado left with an injury. Both are low-ceiling flex plays in Week 7.
- Marvin Harrison Jr. left with a concussion. It's not clear if he'll be ready to play in Week 7. Zay Jones took his place and showed good chemistry with Brissett. Jones is a what-the-flex flex in Week 7 if Harrison is out.
- Trey McBride had his usual big number of short catches to fuel a nice PPR day, but also caught a touchdown, in another sign of Brissett's superiority as a passer.
- Daniel Jones threw two scores and ran in another. The Colts offense is among the most productive in the league, and he's a big reason why. He's an every-week QB1 heading into a matchup with Justin Herbert and the Chargers.
- Alec Pierce returned to the lineup, while Josh Downs still got a lot of looks from Jones, so it was a down day for Michael Pittman Jr. This offense is balanced, and Tyler Warren is the one constant in the passing game. Pittman is merely a WR3/Flex, with Downs a PPR what-the-heck flex and Pierce a .5/nonPPR what-the-heck flex because of his long ball prowess.
