Falcons | Bijan Robinson held to 61 yards on 9 carries in loss to Bears Sun Oct 18, 04:21 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson ran 9 times for 61 yards and also caught 2 passes for -8 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 20.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 6.3.
| Footballguys view: The Bears are going to do this to opponents occasionally this season. The Falcons had just over seven minutes of time of possession in the first half and were down by multiple scores at halftime. There's not much Robinson could have done to avoid to avoid the fantasy dud. The Falcons have another treacherous matchup against the 49ers next week. |

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. |

Patriots | Stevenson held to 36 yards on 14 carries in win over Jets Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 14 times for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 14.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.6.
| Footballguys view: TreVeyon Henderson was the back that fumbled in Week 6, but Stevenson was ineffective and both of them yielded to former UDFA Corey Kiner, who was acquired for a seventh round pick right before the season. We'll be listening closely to see what the plan is going forward in this backfield, but for now Stevenson is just a what-the-heck flex until we get more clarity with a Thursday night game at Chicago coming up. |

Patriots | Maye throws for 235 yards, three touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 18 of 32 passes for 235 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 4 times for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 20.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.8.
| Footballguys view: Maye had a big game with AJ Brown back in the lineup, but Brown wasn't normal self as Romeo Doubs, Demario Douglas, and Hunter Henry caught the touchdowns. Maye will be a high ceiling QB1 against the Bears on Thursday, but with offensive line issues and the Bears dominating time of possession for long stretches, Maye will also have some bust potential on the road. |

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 | Fannin held to 1 catch for 9 yards in win over Ravens Sun Oct 18, 04:00 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 7.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Fannin started slow and then appeared to emerge as Deshaun Watson's favorite red zone target with three touchdowns over two games in Weeks 3 and 4, but he has retreated to the background of the passing game again. The Browns have a good matchup against the weak Titans pass defense in Week 7, but you would be forgiven for dropping Fannin in short bench leagues, and maybe even in a longer bench league if you have a strong tight end option and Fannin has been on your bench. |

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. |

Ravens | Henry held to 58 yards on 17 carries in loss to Browns Sun Oct 18, 04:00 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry ran 17 times for 58 yards, also caught 1 pass for 2 yards on 1 target and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 17.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.5.
| Footballguys view: Henry's value should get back to previous levels with the return of Lamar Jackson, which could come next week against the Bengals now that the Ravens have dropped a divisional game. |

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 | J.J. McCarthy replaces 'ineffective' Jameis Winston vs. Saints, throws for 243 yards in near miracle comeback Sun Oct 18, 03:43 PM
Giants QB J.J. McCarthy entered Sunday's game against the Saints at quarterback in place of an ineffective QB Jameis Winston. The change came after New Orleans scored 34 unanswered points to take a 34-10 lead over the Giants. McCarthy threw an interception on his first drive and then led two touchdown and one field goal drives to get the Giants within seven points. McCarthy then drove the team down into scoring range, but couldn't throw a touchdown on the game's final play as Isaiah Likely had three Saints all over him as the ball arrived. McCarthy was 11 for 21 for 243 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, with two carries for 26 yards on the day.
| Footballguys view: It's hard to know exactly what John Harbaugh will do after this game, but McCarthy made a strong case to be the starting quarterback against the Texans next week. The Saints were in garbage time defense mode at first, so we can't be sure this will stick, but McCarthy was making the necessary throws to not just get the Giants back in this game, but also support top end fantasy value for Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely after he sunk Justin Jefferson's value last season. McCarthy should be added in 2QB/Superflex leagues as the still first place Giants don't know who their best quarterback and running back are heading into Week 7. |

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. |

Browns | KC Concepcion 'gingerly' jogs off after big hit from Kyle Hamilton Sun Oct 18, 02:59 PM
Browns WR KC Concepcion gingerly jogged off the field after taking a big hit from Ravens S Kyle Hamilton on a screen pass during Sunday's game against Baltimore.

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 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. |

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 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. |

Texans | Jawhar Jordan runs for 43 yards, one TD in win over Jaguars Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan ran 6 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 0.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.5.
| Footballguys view: Jordan had a 100-yard game for the Texans last year, and he had the big play in the running game for Houston in this one. Jordan was on the practice squad, but he is a good early down option for Houston and should cap Woody Marks upside as a fantasy play until David Montgomery comes back. If Marks were to go down before Montgomery is healthy, Jordan would be worth rostering as the next man up. |
