Daniel Jones Throws Two Touchdowns In Week 6 Win Over Ravens

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 19 of his 27 attempts for 173 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for six yards in a 24-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. The former first-round pick hadn't thrown a touchdown since Week 2 versus the Carolina Panthers, so it was a welcomed […]

Kirk Cousins Throws Two Touchdowns In Win

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 20-of-30 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Dolphins. The Minnesota offense didn't look particularly good in this one, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried going forward. Cousins should be able to sustain low-end QB1 value being surrounded by a formidable group […]

Kenny Pickett Downgraded To Out

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (head) was evaluated for a concussion and has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 6 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mitch Trubisky took over at quarterback. Pickett finishes the day with 68 passing yards, 16 rushing yards, and one touchdown.

Charvarius Ward, Mike McGlinchey Ruled Out Sunday

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward (groin) and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (calf) have been ruled out for the remainder of Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons. Ward has amassed 28 tackles and one pick this season while McGlinchey has played a key role in protecting Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers' skill players.

Baker Mayfield Inactive Sunday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) is officially inactive against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. This comes as no surprise considering he had been listed as doubtful. P.J. Walker will start in his place. Christian McCaffrey and D.J. Moore are the only Carolina players with legitimate fantasy relevance this Sunday.

Skylar Thompson Questionable To Return

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson (right thumb) is questionable to return against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6. Teddy Bridgewater has entered the game in his place. Although Tua Tagovailoa and Bridgewater both cleared concussion protocol, the Dolphins opted to start Thompson this week. He completed seven passes for 89 yards before exiting. It will […]

Hayden Hurst, Jonah Williams Active Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) and tackle Jonah Williams (knee) are officially active for Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Both players had been listed as questionable. Hurst is off to a solid start, catching 20 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns. He ranks as a low-end TE1 this week. Meanwhile, […]

Mac Jones Ruled Out For Week 6

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) has been officially ruled out for the Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The 24-year-old continues to deal with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 3. It sounds like Jones is making progress, but he's not quite yet to get back on the field. In […]

Andy Dalton Could Remain Starter

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton could remain the starter for the team going forward. Jameis Winston (back, ankle) is active for Week 6, but will serve as the emergency backup quarterback. It appears Dalton could stay under center even when Winston gets healthy. The Saints have faith in Dalton and believe he could significantly […]

Dak Prescott Is Extremely Close To Returning

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) is going to miss the Week 6 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, it appears Prescott is extremely close to getting back on the field. He still has some work to do, but is expected to take the practice field on Wednesday. There is a chance that Prescott is […]

Aaron Rodgers Struggling To Throw Deep

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is struggling to throw the deep ball this season. In fact, last week Rodgers was 0-for-6 on downfield throws, which is concerning. To be fair, the Packers don't exactly have many deep ball threats on this offense, but it hurts their team when they can't throw it downfield. The […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Weekend Waiver Wire for Week 6 Includes Isiah Pacheco, Mack Hollins, DeeJay Dallas, Wan'Dale Robinson

As we head into the first round of bye weeks, the waiver wire is getting a little more complicated across the fantasy landscape. If you are okay with planning for your byes one week ahead of time and rostering players or defenses with a good upcoming matchup, you won't be scrambling at the last minute […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets and Avoids

Week 5 saw some upsets, marginal, but it could have been a lot worse. The Jaguars and Packers lost, but what would have been left of survivor pools had the Bucs, Vikings, and Chiefs lost? Week 6 has some favorites, but not the most trustworthy ones. All season long I'll be bringing you weekly survivor […]

Jameis Winston Active, Won't Start In Week 6

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back, ankle) will be active for the Week 6 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Winston won't start and will serve as the emergency quarterback for this game. The plan is for Winston to get fully healthy before getting him back on the field. Having Winston as the backup […]

Jonah Williams Expected To Play In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Jonah Williams (ankle) is expected to suit up for the Week 6 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The 24-year-old suffered a MCL sprain during last week's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Despite that, it sounds like Williams is feeling good enough to suit up this week. The former first round […]

Carson Wentz Doubtful For Week 7

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz (finger) status is in doubt after suffering an injury during Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. The 29-year-old suffered a fractured finger while throwing during Thursday's victory. It sounds like Wentz is going to visit a specialist, but it seems unlikely that he'd be ready for Week 7. Taylor Heinicke […]

Bailey Zappe In Line To Start Week 6

New England Patriots rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe is expected to start against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. First-string quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) isn't quite ready to return, meaning Zappe will make his second consecutive start. He led the Patriots to victory in his first NFL start last week, […]

Mac Jones Unlikely To Be Under Center In Week 6

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The signal-caller continues to deal with a high-ankle sprain he suffered during the Week 3 loss to the Ravens. As a result, Bailey Zappe will start in Week 6, with the backup tossing for 287 yards, two touchdowns, […]

Dak Prescott Will Miss Another Game

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) won't play on Sunday night against the Eagles, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The veteran is seemingly trending in the right direction, although he must improve even more before he's ready to practice. As a result, Cooper Rush will be back under center in Week 6. The signal-caller […]

Is Russell Wilson Hurt or Healthy? Is Russell Wilson Playing in Week 6 for Fantasy Football?

When the Denver Broncos traded for quarterback Russell Wilson from the Seahawks this offseason, they expected him to take their offense to the next level and contend for the AFC West. The results have not been what they were hoping for. The Broncos are sitting at 2-3 and are averaging just 15.0 points per game. […]

Dolphins Have Confidence In Skylar Thompson

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson is making his first career start in Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings, and the Dolphins have plenty of confidence in him. Head coach Mike McDaniel said the team would rather go with the QB that has practiced and prepared all week. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has already been ruled […]

Carson Wentz Diagnosed With A Fractured Finger

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz (finger) suffered a fractured finger on this throwing hand during Thursday's win over the Chicago Bears. As a result, he will travel to Los Angeles to visit a specialist to determine the next course of action. The 29-year-old has passed for 1,489 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. However, he […]

Tua Tagovailoa Clears Concussion Protocol

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) cleared protocol on Saturday morning and is expected to return in Week 7 against the Steelers. In the meantime, rookie Skylar Thompson will be under center versus the Minnesota Vikings, with Teddy Bridgewater to serve as his backup. The 2022 seventh-round pick finished with 166 yards and an interception […]

Patrick Mahomes Set For Explosive Week 6 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be considered a top fantasy option heading into Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills. While Buffalo the league's fourth-best pass defense by yards allowed per game, Mahomes is essentially matchup proof, and he threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns when these teams met in the playoffs last […]

NFL Player Props: Bets for Week 6 - Prop Betting Picks for Rushing, Receiving, Passing Yards

Week 6 of the NFL season is here. We're a little under one-third of the way through the year, and it's crazy how fast it seems to go. These teams are starting to settle into their offenses more and more with each passing week. While that makes it easier for us to determine which players […]
