Breece Hall Still Searching for First Touchdown of 2025
Breece Hall will get his toughest test of the season this Sunday in London when his team lines up with the Denver Broncos. Hall has been excellent in 2025, averaging 5.32 yards per carry and ranking seventh in the league in rushing (351) and receiving (150) amongst his position. The Broncos present as one of the league's sturdier run defenses, though, yielding the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game through five contests (88.4). Furthermore, Denver is allowing a paltry 16.8 points per outing, second only to the Texans in the metric (12.2). Hall will still see the lion's share of carries in New York's backfield and should get enough receiving work to keep his fantasy floor stable. However, he's yet to score a touchdown in the campaign, and could have a hard time getting in the end zone again against a formidable Denver D. The 24-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR RB14 for his matchup with the Broncos.

Ray-Ray McCloud III Not a Viable Option in Week 6
Ray-Ray McCloud III played just 35 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 4, which put him behind even Casey Washington (52 percent), who was healthy for the first time since Week 1. In Week 1, Washington also played more snaps than McCloud (95 percent vs. 72 percent) in a game that had the same dynamic that will be in play on Monday night, which is that WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring) will not suit up for the Falcons. With Kyle Pitts Sr. and Bijan Robinson seeing regular work in the passing game, in addition to Drake London, McCloud becomes the fourth or fifth option in the pecking order, which makes him irrelevant in most fantasy leagues this week. Washington drew six targets in Week 1 without Mooney on the field, hauling in three for 33 yards, although he's also nothing more than a DFS dart throw.

Matt Prater a High-Upside Streaming Option vs. Falcons
Matt Prater remains a solid streaming option in Week 6, rostered in just 41% of fantasy leagues. Prater has been steady all season, converting 10-of-11 field-goal attempts while benefiting from the Bills' ability to consistently move the ball. Facing the league's top-ranked Falcons defense, Buffalo may find it difficult to finish drives in the end zone, setting up more field-goal opportunities for the veteran kicker. With a strong leg and a reliable track record, Prater offers high-upside potential in what could be a competitive, lower-scoring matchup on Monday night.

Garrett Wilson a Back-End WR1 in Unfavorable Matchup
Garrett Wilson will get a resilient Denver Broncos team this Sunday when the two squads square off in London. The Broncos are one of the better all-around defensive units in the league, and have been solid against opposing passing attacks, yielding 200.2 passing yards per game (eighth-fewest). While there is some concern for the 25-year-old's ceiling in this contest, Wilson has been outstanding thus far. Even including a down outing against the Bills in Week 2, he ranks third among all pass-catchers in target share (32.9%), seventh in yards (382), and fourth in targets (48), corraling four touchdowns through the first five games. Wilson's target-hog role in New York's offense will keep his weekly floor high, and rookie tight end Mason Taylor shouldn't dent his value too much, if at all. The Ohio State Product comes in as RotoBaller's PPR WR10 ahead of Week 6.

Tyler Allgeier a Risky Flex Play if Falcons Fall Behind Early
Tyler Allgeier garnered 16 rush attempts and rumbled his way to 51 yards and his second touchdown of the season in Week 4. It was his third dose of double-digit carries through the team's first four games, but the fourth-year pro is averaging just 3.6 yards per rush compared to Bijan Robinson's 4.9 YPR. It will be difficult to predict the games where the 25-year-old finds paydirt, so he makes for a dicey Flex play most weeks with such a low YPR, especially if the Falcons have to abandon the run. In Week 3 against the Panthers, the Falcons fell behind early and had to play catch-up, leaving Allgeier with a total of two touches (one rush, one reception). The Bills could present a similar problem for the Falcons on Monday, making the BYU product a risky RB4/Flex option in Week 6.

Justin Fields Not a Lock for Fantasy Success Vs. Broncos
Justin Fields and the New York Jets will get a difficult task in Week 6 when they line up with the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Fields and New York's offense have started each of the previous two games cold, failing to score more than three points in the first half of either. Moreover, those were against below-average defensive units in the Cowboys and the Dolphins. This Sunday, however, they'll square off with a Broncos team that ranks in the top ten in passing yards (eighth) and points per game allowed (second), presenting as their toughest test of the season. Despite the fifth-year pro's struggles at times, he's been an excellent fantasy producer in three of four outings. Fantasy managers will want to temper expectations against a tough Denver defense, though, leaving Fields as more of a high-end QB2 for this weekend, and, officially, RotoBaller's QB14.

Drake London a Reliable WR1 Even in Tough Matchup Versus Bills
Drake London had his best game of the season by far his last time out, putting up 110 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets and eight catches. The 24-year-old is averaging over nine targets per contest and has had at least five catches in three of his four games, however, Week 6 brings a matchup with Buffalo. The Bills have held receivers to the eighth-fewest half-point PPR points and are allowing only 154 yards per game through the air, the second fewest in the league. On the other hand, Darnell Mooney (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's contest, and that could mean a couple of extra looks for London, who already owns a team-best 28.5 percent target share and has the most red zone targets of any of the team's wide receivers. The Falcons could be playing from behind for much of the game as well, so expect London to be the focal point of the receiving corps once again. It may not be a big yardage day for the 6-foot-4 wideout, but his heavy usage in the passing game makes him a mid-range WR1 most weeks, including Week 6.

Colston Loveland Questionable to Play in Week 6
Colston Loveland (hip) is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Washington Commanders on Monday night, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Loveland injured his hip early in the team's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys and was sidelined in Week 4, Chicago's last game before its Week 5 bye. The 21-year-old has recorded three catches for 43 yards on six targets in the limited time where he's been available this season. If Loveland were to remain out in Week 6, Bears tight end Cole Kmet would be in line for significant playing time and could be a low-end streaming option for fantasy managers. With Loveland sidelined in Week 4, Kmet recorded three catches for 46 yards on nine targets. If Loveland plays, neither Bears tight end projects for enough playing time or target volume to provide fantasy-relevant production.

Jackson Hawes Could See Minor Role Increase in Week 6
Jackson Hawes could see a small uptick in opportunities if Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against Atlanta. The fifth-round pick has appeared in every game this season but has been used sparingly in the passing game, seeing just four targets through five weeks--hauling in all of them. While Hawes' strong blocking skills have earned him steady snaps, he remains a distant option in Buffalo's offensive pecking order. Even with a potential increase in playing time, his fantasy value is negligible, and he should be avoided in all formats unless his role expands dramatically in the coming weeks.

Emari Demercado Likely to Remain Limited to Supporting Role in Week 6?
Emari Demercado had a Week 5 to forget, as he dropped the ball for a fumble just before crossing the goal line on what should have been a long touchdown run. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Demercado will maintain his role in the offense despite the error. Still, Demercado appears to be limited to a third-down role in the Cardinals' backfield. Veteran back Michael Carter assumed lead rushing responsibilities in Week 5, the team's first full game without top running backs James Conner (ankle) and Trey Benson (knee). Arizona takes on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6, who are tied for first in the NFL in fewest rushing touchdowns allowed (two). Demercado recorded just three total touches in Week 5 and should not be expected to see significantly more work in Week 6. Demercado profiles as a low-end flex option in deep leagues in Week 6 against the Colts.

Dawson Knox Could See Increased Usage on Monday Night
Dawson Knox could be in line for an expanded role in Week 6 with Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against Atlanta. Fantasy managers rostering Kincaid should consider adding Knox as insurance, given the late-game kickoff. A proven red zone threat, Knox would likely step into a larger pass-catching role if Kincaid is ruled out. The veteran tight end posted 517 yards and six touchdowns during his last full season as the primary starter in 2022, earning a Pro Bowl nod. With the Falcons boasting the league's top-ranked pass defense, Josh Allen may lean on his tight ends in short-yardage and scoring situations--making Knox a viable streaming option if he's elevated to TE1 duties in Week 6.

Treylon Burks Planning to Visit With Broncos Next Week
Treylon Burks (collarbone) is planning to visit with the Denver Broncos next week, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. A former first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans in 2022, Burks was released by the Titans earlier this year and is free to sign with any team. Burks has been cleared for football activities after suffering a broken collarbone during training camp, but it's unclear exactly when he will be able to take the field once he signs with a new team. The 25-year-old has recorded 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown in 27 career games. If Burks were to sign in Denver, he would be part of a crowded wide receiver room and would likely slot in behind Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant on the team's depth chart at the position.

Dalton Kincaid Questionable for Monday Night Showdown vs. Falcons
Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the league's stingiest pass defense. Kincaid has emerged as the Bills' leading receiver this season and would leave a major void in the passing game if ruled out. In his absence, veteran Dawson Knox would likely see an expanded role, while wideouts Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman could both see increased target shares. The Bills will look to rebound from their first loss of the season against a Falcons defense that has severely limited opposing passing attacks. If active, Kincaid remains a must-start TE1 and a focal point of Buffalo's offense during what's shaping up to be a breakout campaign.

Taylor Decker Ruled Out for Week 6 Due to Shoulder Injury

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for the team's Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. This will mark Decker's second straight missed game due to a shoulder injury. Second-year tackle Giovanni Manu (knee) started in place of Decker in Week 5, but Manu missed practice on Friday due to a knee injury and is questionable to play against the Chiefs. Veteran tackle Dan Skipper could be in line to start for the Lions in Week 6. Decker's absence could impact quarterback
