Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback
Cameron Ward was able to have more success through the air during last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Ward completed 21-of-39 passing attempts for a career-high 265 passing yards with zero touchdowns and one interception in the win. The 23-year-old helped lead a fourth-quarter comeback and finally started building chemistry with
Calvin Ridley. Despite that, Ward hasn't done enough on the field to warrant starting even against the shaky Las Vegas Raiders defense in Week 6.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker
Daniel Carlson remains a low-upside option for fantasy managers despite a potentially favorable Week 6 matchup against the Titans. The Raiders' offense has struggled to sustain drives, posting the league's second-highest turnover rate at 18.5%, and quarterback
Geno Smith's inconsistency compounds Carlson's limited scoring opportunities. Even in games with red zone chances, the Raiders' inefficiency reduces Carlson's fantasy ceiling, making him a risky play. Until Las Vegas' offense becomes more consistent and turnover-prone plays are minimized, Carlson is unlikely to provide the reliable fantasy production owners hope for, and those with stronger options at the position should continue looking elsewhere for week-to-week stability.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After missing last week's game, Jennings has been a limited participant in practice this week. It sounds like Jennings is trending towards being a game-time decision for Sunday's game. That's not exactly great news for fantasy managers with this game being a 4:25 pm ET kickoff this weekend. That means, fantasy managers will need to have another late afternoon option in case Jennings is unable to go. If active, Jennings should offer WR3 value with quarterback
Mac Jones (oblique, knee) also questionable for this game.

The Las Vegas Raiders defense has endured a rough start to the season, logging negative fantasy outputs twice and only delivering in their Week 1 matchup against the Patriots. However, Week 6 presents a prime opportunity for a rebound as they face a struggling Tennessee Titans offense. The Titans have surrendered the second-most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season and continue to rank near the bottom in nearly every major offensive category. With Maxx Crosby anchoring the pass rush, the Raiders have a strong chance to generate turnovers and sacks against a mistake-prone Titans squad. Fantasy managers seeking a streaming option should look no further--Las Vegas profiles as a sneaky top-10 defensive play this week with legitimate upside in a favorable matchup.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Michael Mayer is on track to return in Week 6 after being a full participant in practice throughout the week. Mayer has not played since suffering a concussion on September 21 but is expected to reclaim the starting role with
Brock Bowers (knee) still sidelined. While Mayer doesn't offer the same explosive playmaking ability as Bowers, his steady hands and blocking versatility should make him a reliable complementary option in the Raiders offense. Fantasy managers, however, should temper expectations--Mayer is projected as TE17 this week, placing him outside the starting range in standard leagues. Still, with Bowers' recovery timeline uncertain, Mayer could see expanded opportunities in the weeks ahead and is worth monitoring as a potential streamer or stash in deeper formats.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Malik Washington had his busiest game of the season in Week 5 against the Panthers. He played about his normal amount of snaps but set a season-high with four catches on his five targets. He ended up with no yards on those four catches, but he did seem to get a little more work with
Tyreek Hill (knee) unavailable for the first time this year. Washington has shown big-play ability in the return game, but he hasn't been able to get loose for any big receptions. He'll have a tough matchup this week against the Chargers, which is why he's only the WR57 in RotoBaller's rankings, but he does bring boom-or-bust potential if you need a deep league or DFS flier at receiver

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver
Jack Bech is beginning to make his presence felt, turning in his most productive game of the season in Week 5. After playing just 10% of snaps in Week 4, Bech saw his snap share jump to 53% and drew five targets, finishing with a career-high 27 receiving yards. While those numbers don't yet warrant fantasy consideration in standard formats, the increased involvement is an encouraging sign for the rookie's development. If Bech continues to earn a steady role in the Raiders' offensive rotation, he could emerge as a deeper-league stash with intriguing dynasty upside. For now, Bech should remain on the fantasy radar as a potential riser in an offense still searching for consistent playmakers aside from
Ashton Jeanty.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker remains an intriguing name for fantasy managers, but continues to struggle with consistency heading into Week 6. The speedy wideout has shown flashes of big-play ability, yet his week-to-week production remains unpredictable, making him a tough player to trust in starting lineups. Tucker's boom-or-bust nature keeps him just outside of the flex range for most fantasy formats, though his increasing involvement in the Raiders' offense makes him a worthy stash candidate. As the team continues to search for reliable playmakers with
Brock Bowers sidelined, Tucker's explosive potential gives him long-term appeal, but until he develops steadier usage and target volume, he's best viewed as a bench stash in all leagues rather than a dependable weekly starter.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Jaylen Waddle will have an opportunity to step up as the team's top receiver the rest of the season after
Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season in Week 4. In Week 5, Waddle delivered a big game, hauling in six of his nine targets for 110 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. He set season highs in catches, targets, and yards, while scoring his third touchdown in the last four weeks. Waddle and the Dolphins will look to bounce back from last week's loss to Carolina, as they host the Chargers. The Chargers' defense has done a good job against receivers this season, but Deebo Samuel did light them up for eight catches, 96 yards, and a touchdown last week. Waddle should be primed for another high-volume game and is the WR17 in RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings.

Despite getting a questionable tag on the final Week 6 injury report on Friday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Mac Jones (knee, oblique) is expected to play and make his second straight start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with
Brock Purdy (toe) missing his fourth game of the year, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Jones was limited in practice all week with left-knee and oblique injuries, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday that the former Patriots QB is slated to start on Sunday. The 27-year-old's knee injury dates back to a preseason game before he aggravated it in Week 3. Jones strained his oblique on the final offensive snap in last Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Rams. He's clearly not 100% going into Week 6, making a repeat of his 300-yard performance in Week 5 unlikely, especially with receiver
Ricky Pearsall (knee) out for a second straight game. Consider Jones a low-end QB2 this weekend.

Miami Dolphins running back
Ollie Gordon II has played about 25% of snaps in four of his five games, usually logging about 15 snaps per game. He had a season-high nine carries in Week 3 against the Bills, when he scored his only touchdown of the year as well. The last two weeks, though, he hasn't been able to move into a larger role. Last week against the Panthers, he only managed -2 yards on three carries against the Panthers. The rookie does have some potential, but
De'Von Achane is dominating the workload and production in the Dolphins' backfield for now. He will likely get some work against the Chargers in Week 6, but as the RB50 in RotoBaller's rankings, he's not a strong play in most leagues since his role has been so limited.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers has seen his fantasy relevance fade in recent weeks and should be avoided in starting lineups heading into Week 6. Despite the Raiders frequently playing from behind, their passing game ranks just 15th through five weeks, with Meyers failing to separate himself from the pack. He saw an even target share with
Tre Tucker and practice-squad call-up
Albert Okwuegbunam in Week 5, signaling a troubling trend for the veteran wideout. The emergence of Tucker, combined with the Raiders' growing emphasis on the running game led by
Ashton Jeanty, has further diminished Meyers' role. Until he reclaims consistent targets, Meyers should be treated as a low-end WR3 or bench option in standard formats heading into this week's matchup.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end
Cade Otton finally was able to do some damage on the field last week. Otton hauled in four of his five targets for 81 yards during last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Before that, Otton was held to six receptions for 34 yards during the first four games. Recently, Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard said the team wants to get Otton more involved. The Bucs are going to be without wide receivers
Mike Evans (hamstring) and
Chris Godwin (leg) for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. That should mean that Otton sees more targets coming his way. All things are pointing to Otton getting more chances, so he should offer TE2 value in Week 6.

Miami Dolphins running back
De'Von Achane has been one of the best running backs all season, despite his team's offense running hot and cold. Achane hasn't run for 100 yards in any game, but he has supplemented with great production in the passing game. He has at least six catches in three of his last four games after hauling in six of his seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown last week. He has four total touchdowns in five games while averaging 65.5 rushing yards and 34.6 passing yards per contest. This week, he and the Dolphins will take on the Chargers, who have been very good against the run this season, but did give up two running back touchdowns and 124 rushing yards against the Commanders. Achane's consistently high volume and big-play ability have kept him an elite RB1 in every matchup. In RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings, he is the No. 3 RB in PPR leagues and the No. 8 RB in standard leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Tez Johnson is expected to have an increased role during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Bucs will be without
Mike Evans (hamstring) and
Chris Godwin (leg) for Sunday's game. That being said, Johnson figures to move into the No. 3 receiver role for this Week 6 contest. Last week, Johnson hauled in four receptions for 59 yards in the win over the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie wideout has been quiet outside of that, but showed a promising performance in Week 5. The increased playing time could sneak Johnson onto the flex radar in deep leagues for this weekend.
