2 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback
Carson Wentz was solid despite an Eagles loss in Week 6. He threw for 306 yards, completing 26 of his 40 pass attempts. Wentz ended up with two touchdowns and threw an interception. It was the first 300 yard game since Week 1 for the Eagles quarterback, who matched up with
Miles Sanders and
Alshon Jeffery for his two scores. Wentz also added 23 yards on the ground, on two rushing attempts. He's a back-end QB1 and should a solid option next week against the Cowboys.

2 days agoNew York Jets wide receiver
Robby Anderson caught five passes for 125 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Cowboys Sunday. It was a badly needed breakout game for Anderson who had only 131 yards total in four games before his huge game today. Anderson made the play of the game hauling in a 92-yard touchdown on the first play of a drive after the Jets stopped Dallas on fourth-and-two deep in the red zone. The 92-yard catch and run was the second-longest touchdown in Jets franchise history and put Anderson's boom-or-bust nature in fantasy on full display. Anderson's big-play ability puts him in the WR3 conversation most weeks, but he'll face another tough matchup next week against an elite
Patriots Defense.

Deshaun Watson went 30-for-42 for 280 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Chiefs. While he threw two interceptions, he made amends with his handiwork on the ground, finishing with 42 yards and two more scores on 10 attempts. The 24-year-old has been on a tear this season and continues to make a strong case for himself to be considered the top fantasy signal-caller in the league. Watson will look to keep it going against the Colts in Week 7. Keep him rolling.

2 days agoWashington Redskins tight end
Jeremy Sprinkle turned in another disappointing day despite standing in for injured
Vernon Davis and
Jordan Reed. Sprinkle saw just three targets in Sunday's victory, grabbing two of them for 24 yards. At this point, it doesn't appear to matter when or if Davis or Reed come back, because Sprinkle isn't seeing fantasy-relevant volume with or without them.
Terry McLaurin is the primary pass-catching option in this offense, and there aren't a ton of targets left over after he sees his share. Sprinkle can be ignored in all formats unless you find yourself in the most desperate of circumstances at TE. And if either of his superiors on the depth chart return for Week 7, then he can just be forgotten about altogether.

2 days agoTennessee Titans running back
Derrick Henry has been carving up defenses all season, but that was not the case versus the Denver Broncos in Week 6. Henry rushed 15 times for 28 yards in the loss to the Broncos. He averaged 1.9 yards per carry, but fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. It was an all around horrible game for the Titans, but Henry will bounce back. Fantasy owners should feel comfortable with Henry as a RB1 against the Chargers in Week 7.

2 days agoNew Orleans Saints tight end
Jared Cook picked up right where he left off in Week 5. Cook snagged all three of his targets for 37 yards and hauled in a nifty touchdown catch in his team's 13-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cook has quietly become a red-zone favorite for quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater. The 32-year-old will look to make it three touchdowns in three weeks against the Chicago Bears' tough defense in Week 7.

2 days agoWashington Redskins wide receiver
Paul Richardson was targeted four times on Sunday, hauling in zero of them. This would qualify as a huge disappointment in a favorable matchup if Richardson had done anything of consequence in recent weeks, but he had only caught five passes for 28 yards in his last two games combined. He has just one truly serviceable fantasy outing to his name in 2019, and it came in Week 3. Richardson simply can't be trusted as a fantasy asset, and is worth dropping in all formats if you take a look at his upcoming schedule: 49ers, Vikings, Bills.

2 days agoTennessee Titans quarterback
Ryan Tannehill came into the game in the third quarter after a horrendous performance by
Marcus Mariota. Tannehill didn't play outstanding, but might get the nod against the Chargers next week. He completed 13 of 16 passing attempts for 144 yards and an interception in the loss to the Denver Broncos. Whether it's Tannehill or Mariota, neither quarterback will have much fantasy value in Week 7.

2 days agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver
Mohamed Sanu was due for a down game after three straight solid weeks. Quarterback
Matt Ryan relied heavily on tight end
Austin Hooper and
Julio Jones in Week 6, with the two combining for 225 yards. Sanu was fourth on the team in targets in Week 6, with four, and he caught three of them for a total of just 29 yards. It was his first game of the year with fewer than four receptions and it was his first game since Week 2 to go without either a touchdown or 70-plus yards. He's worth owning in leagues of 12 or more teams but shouldn't be relied upon to be as consistent as he'd been the past three weeks.

2 days agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver
Calvin Ridley caught four of his six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Week 6. He was third on the team in receptions, targets and yards, behind
Julio Jones and tight end
Austin Hooper in all three categories. Ridley has four touchdowns through six games this year, which is a great mark, but he's only topped 65 yards twice so far this year. He's going to be a little hit-or-miss throughout the season, but as a key part of a dominant passing offense, he should be started as a low-end WR2 most weeks.

2 days agoTennessee Titans quarterback
Marcus Mariota was benched in the third quarter of the Week 6 matchup versus the Denver Broncos. Mariota was abysmal on Sunday, competing 7 of 18 passes for 63 yards and threw two interceptions in the loss. He was missing wide open receivers all day long, so this wasn't a surprising move. Head coach Mike Vrabel went with veteran
Ryan Tannehill after Mariota threw his second interception of the day. It's unclear who is going to get the nod next week versus the Los Angeles Chargers, but regardless neither quarterback will have much success in that one.

2 days agoWashington Redskins running back
Chris Thompson touched the ball a season-low five times for 20 total yards on Sunday. Washington's success on the ground with
Adrian Peterson minimized the need to turn to Thompson as often as usual in the passing game, and he naturally turned in his worst fantasy outing of the season. For his fantasy owners, it's worth taking Week 6 with a grain of salt. The Redskins' opponent was the Dolphins, after all. Up next is a brutal three-game stretch against the 49ers, Vikings, and Bills. Thompson should reprise his role as a pass-catching threat in those matchups, as Peterson isn't likely to run all over those teams like he did to the Dolphins.

2 days agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver
Julio Jones had a solid bounce-back game in Week 6, catching eight passes for 108 yards against the Cardinals. Given the favorable matchup and his underwhelming outputs the previous two weeks, Jones's 108 yards without a score in Week 6 might not fully please his owners, but it was a solid day nonetheless, especially in PPR. The Falcons' passing game has been electric all year and quarterback
Matt Ryan hasn't been force-feeding Jones by any means. Tight end
Austin Hooper has taken a big step forward with his role in the passing game and led all Falcons with 117 receiving yards in Week 6. Jones and the Falcons are now 1-5 after their loss to the Cardinals and will host the Rams in Week 7.

2 days agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver
Ted Ginn caught just two passes on six targets for 36 yards and rushed for 12 yards on one carry. The Saints leaned on the pass because star running back
Alvin Kamara was limited by injury. Despite this, Ginn didn't do enough with his targets to bring fantasy value. He's had only one strong fantasy game with
Teddy Bridgewater under center. Don't expect a second next week against an unforgiving Chicago
Bears Defense.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: New Orleans Saints
2 days agoDenver Broncos running back
Phillip Lindsay continued his recent hot streak on Sunday afternoon as he posted a solid game against the Tennessee Titans. The 2nd-year running back totaled 75 yards on the afternoon, most coming from the running game. He also managed to find the end zone once during the game. Lindsay has now posted over ten points in all but one game this year, in a PPR setting, and is the clear number one fantasy back in Denver. He looks to keep the hot hand next week in a divisional battle against the Kansas City Chiefs.
