San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 6 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Monday night, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Evans was questionable to play in the game coming in due to Achilles soreness. After making a catch, he limped off the field right before halftime and was seen grabbing at his Achilles once he reached the tunnel. Before getting injured, the veteran wideout recorded three catches for 94 yards on five targets. With Evans sidelined, 49ers wideouts Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks could both see increased usage the rest of the way against Washington.--Will Brady

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter has seen the majority of his playing time in 2026 on the defensive side of the ball. However, the 23-year-old saw heavier involvement on offense in Week 6 and delivered, recording four catches for 49 yards and a touchdown against the Houston Texans. Hunter still only played nine snaps on offense against Houston, so fantasy managers should temper their expectations for his production. Still, Jacksonville may slowly be ramping up Hunter's offensive workload as the season progresses. In deeper fantasy leagues, Hunter could be worth stashing off the waiver wire for his potential season-long upside.--Will Brady

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) is officially questionable to return to his team's Week 6 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Monday night, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner. After coming into the game with Achilles soreness, Evans limped off the field right before halftime and was seen grabbing at his Achilles once he reached the tunnel. Before getting injured, the veteran wideout recorded three catches for 94 yards on five targets. If Evans is unable to return to the game, 49ers wideouts Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks could both see increased usage the rest of the way against Washington.--Will Brady

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) gingerly walked to the locker room right before the end of the first half in his team's Week 6 matchup against the Washington Commanders, per Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Evans was questionable to play coming into the game due to Achilles soreness and was seen grabbing at the Achilles area once he got into the tunnel. Before leaving the game, Evans recorded three catches for 94 yards on five targets. If he is unable to return, 49ers wideouts Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks could be in line for more targets and playing time in the second half.--Will Brady

Houston Texans running back Jawhar Jordan saw his first game action of 2026 in Week 6 and delivered, recording six carries for 43 yards and a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jordan began the year on Houston's practice squad, but he was elevated to the active roster in Week 6 with running back David Montgomery (groin) sidelined by injury. If Montgomery returns in Week 7, Jordan will likely slide back into the RB3 role in Houston behind both Montgomery and Woody Marks. Still, Jordan was productive when given opportunities with Houston last season as well, logging 227 scrimmage yards on 50 touches. In deeper fantasy leagues, Jordan could be worth picking up off the waiver wire just in case Montgomery ends up requiring an extended absence.--Will Brady

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer bounced back from a disappointing outing in Week 5 with a strong game in Week 6, recording seven catches for 95 yards on nine targets against the Buffalo Bills. Mayer has now logged at least seven catches and 80 receiving yards in two of his last three games, and he's racked up 28 catches for 266 yards and a touchdown on 34 targets across six games this season. While Mayer is the TE2 on his own team behind Brock Bowers, Las Vegas' tendency to deploy two tight end formations allows both players to be productive. The Raiders are also lacking high-end production from their wide receiver corps, which should allow for Mayer to keep seeing an elevated target share. In leagues where Mayer is available on the waiver wire, he could be a worthy waiver wire target for fantasy managers.--Will Brady

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (knee) was carted off the field after suffering a non-contact knee injury during his team's Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. McLaurin has officially been ruled out for the remainder of the game, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Before getting injured, the veteran wideout hauled in one catch for 27 yards on one target. It's too early to speculate, but losing McLaurin for an extended stretch would obviously be a rough blow for the Commanders' offense. Without him on Monday night, Commanders wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams, as well as tight end Chig Okonkwo, will likely see increased workloads.--Will Brady

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs (shoulder), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday's Week 6 win over the division-rival New York Jets, is not expected to face a long-term absence and is hopeful to return after the team's Week 11 bye, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. It is good news for fantasy managers who will be stashing the first-year Patriots receiver in deeper leagues now that he may only end up missing four games while on IR. The 26-year-old former fourth-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2022 from Nevada caught his only target of the game in the win over the Jets, and it ended up going for 42 yards and his third touchdown of the season. Doubs has averaged a career-high 18.6 yards per catch through six games while hauling in 14 of his 24 targets for 261 yards and three touchdowns, which has been rather disappointing when considering that top wideout A.J. Brown just returned on Sunday after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He will not be a must-hold in shallower fantasy formats over the next four weeks. Doubs is currently rostered in 67% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

The Cincinnati Bengals officially placed tight end Tanner Hudson (pectoral) on Injured Reserve on Monday with a pectoral injury that he suffered in the Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins, according to the team's official website. Hudson will now be forced to miss at least the next four games, starting with Cincy's Week 7 contest this Sunday against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. In four games so far in 2026, Hudson was not on the fantasy football radar with only seven catches (on seven targets) for 33 yards and one touchdown. The 31-year-old veteran's pectoral injury will open up more playing time for Drew Sample behind starting tight end Mike Gesicki moving forward, although Sample should remain on the waiver wire in all leagues. Hudson has never been a high-end pass-catcher at the position, and he has accumulated 99 catches for 906 yards and only five touchdowns in 75 regular-season games played (four starts) in his seven-plus NFL seasons. Hudson is in his fourth year with the Bengals.--Keith Hernandez

Arizona Cardinals rookie first-round running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is expected to do some running on Tuesday, head coach Mike LaFleur told Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. The Cardinals should have a better idea of where he is at and what he will do on Wednesday during the first official practice of the week as the team prepares to face the visiting Denver Broncos in Week 7. A lingering ankle injury kept the Notre Dame product off the field for the Cardinals' surprising Week 6 win over the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on the road. Tyler Allgeier led the Arizona backfield on Sunday with 18 carries for only 38 yards (2.1 yards per attempt) and caught one of two targets for 10 yards in the passing game. Bam Knight surprisingly had only three fewer carries than Allgeier and was way more productive on the ground, gaining 80 rushing yards and adding two receptions for 18 yards. If Love does enough in practice this week to gain clearance to play in Week 7 versus Denver, he could immediately return and lead the Cardinals' backfield with Allgeier underwhelming. The No. 3 overall pick in April has been a little underwhelming himself through his first five NFL games, averaging 3.7 yards per carry while rushing for 245 yards and a touchdown on 67 carries. Love has added 11 catches for 36 yards and another score. He still has by far the most short- and long-term fantasy value of anyone in this backfield.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Rams veteran wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to have a procedure on his left hamstring tendon to clean it out, with hopes that he can return around the time of the team's Week 11 bye or a little after, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Adams suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 6 upset loss to the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and is expected to miss anywhere from six to 10 weeks. Fantasy managers need to keep Adams stashed on their rosters, as he could return just in time for the start of the fantasy playoffs. Star receiver Puka Nacua will be targeted even more with Adams out, as will receivers Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield and tight ends Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson, at least until Terrance Ferguson (ankle) returns from Injured Reserve. Running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum should also see more passing-game work with Adams sidelined for a while. The 33-year-old Adams led the league with 14 touchdown receptions in 2025 in his first year in L.A., and he had 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns on 49 targets through the first six weeks of the 2026 campaign before his injury on Sunday.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Rams second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle), who is not eligible to return from Injured Reserve until the Week 8 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, should have a big role in the Rams' passing attack when he returns after the team placed veteran receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) on IR on Monday. Adams suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and is now expected to miss anywhere from six to 10 weeks. The 23-year-old Ferguson easily has the most pass-catching upside among the many names in the Rams' tight end corps, even though he had only seven catches on 12 targets for 63 yards and one touchdown in the three games that he has played so far in 2026. Ferguson is expected back after a minimal IR stint, so fantasy managers looking for upgrades at TE should consider stashing the former second-rounder from Oregon off the waiver wire now. He is currently rostered in only 13% of Yahoo leagues. Ferguson came on strong down the stretch in his rookie campaign and finished with an 11-231-3 line in 14 regular-season games.--Keith Hernandez

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) will have a full week of work in practice and that there is a good chance that he will make his season debut in Sunday night's Week 7 showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. It has been only eight months since Charbonnet had reconstructive surgery on his knee after tearing his ACL in the postseason in January, but he has made great progress and is on the verge of returning to Seattle's active roster as their primary RB. The 25-year-old former second-rounder in 2023 from UCLA will probably be eased into the Seahawks' backfield alongside Emanuel Wilson and George Holani if he is active this Sunday night, but Charbs deserves to be rostered in all fantasy football leagues after rushing for 730 yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns on 184 carries in 2025 in his third year in the league next to Kenneth Walker. Charbonnet also had 20 receptions for 144 yards in 16 regular-season games. With Walker now in KC, Charbonnet is expected to take over lead-back duties sooner rather than later. If he is still available on your league's waiver wire, he needs to be scooped up ASAP.--Keith Hernandez

Washington Commanders veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is officially active on Monday night on the road against the San Francisco 49ers to close out Week 6 action. Diggs' return to action on Monday is great news for Washington's offense as they look to give the 49ers their first loss of the 2026 season, but it is bad news for the target shares of both Terry McLaurin and rookie Antonio Williams in Week 6. The 32-year-old Diggs injured his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London and was unable to play in last Sunday's tie against the division-rival New York Giants. He is sporting an 18-170-3 line in his first four games for the Commanders this year in his 12th year in the league. All three of Diggs' touchdowns this year came in the first two weeks of the season in losses to the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys before quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow. Most fantasy managers in traditional leagues have benched Diggs this week because his status was up in the air, and he should be faded in DFS lineups on Monday night against a strong Niners defense.--Keith Hernandez
