Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower was targeted four times in Week 6, catching just one pass but gaining 50 yards. Hightower’s four targets was second most among Eagles wide receivers, but fell way behind Travis Fulgham and tight end Zach Ertz‘s 10. Hightower is looking like he will settle into a boom-or-bust role, coming up with deep passes somewhat inconsistently. He’ll have a

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II as 25-for-44 throwing the ball in a Week 6 loss to the Detroit Lions, finishing with 243 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. He also rushed three times for 14 yards and a score. It wasn’t a pretty game for the second-year quarterback, though he made just enough plays to finish with a decent statline for fantasy managers. Minshew’s

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan finished Week 6 by going 30-for-40 with 371 yards and four touchdowns. Ryan easily had one of his best performances of the season and reminded fantasy managers of his potential any given week. The QB has been a bit streaky this year, but can generally be trusted in most matchups. Source: NFL.com

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye stayed hot in a tight loss to the Chicago Bears. Slye made at least three field-goals for the second consecutive game and fourth time this season, including a 48-yarder. The 24-year-old has missed a few kicks here and there, but for the most part, he’s been very solid for Carolina through six contests. Slye gets a tougher matchup in Week

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas caught his only target for nine receiving yards. Thomas’ line for the season- 6-39-1- looks like a line for one game. He just hasn’t been involved in the offense enough with Robby Anderson and D.J. Moore gobbling up most of the targets. Fantasy managers should stay far away until he puts together a couple of promising efforts. Until then,

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb caught three passes for 17 yards in Week 6 against the Titans, though a touchdown grab helped salvage an otherwise disappointing day. Cobb’s starting to fall back in the pecking order in Houston, as Will Fuller V and Brandin Cooks start to see more consistent targets. Cobb’s got upside in deep leagues, but also has a low floor as

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson saw just five targets but turned them into four grabs for 77 receiving yards in a 23-16 loss to the Bears. Anderson took a backseat to D.J. Moore, who saw a team-high 11 targets, though Anderson did have the tougher cornerback matchup to deal with. The 27-year-old had seen double-digit targets in back-to-back games so while it was a

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in five of a team-high 11 targets for 93 receiving yards in a loss to the Bears. That’s back-to-back games for Moore with 93 receiving yards, while the 11 targets were the second-most he’s seen in game this season. It’s possible that Moore is a turning a corner and it’s good news for his fantasy prospects that he

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught a team-high nine passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Tennessee Titans. He also came up just short on another potential touchdown. Cooks has been the team’s leading receiver by receptions in consecutive weeks and looks poised to be a high-upside fantasy WR3 moving forward in a Texans offense that’s started to really

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught six passes for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Titans. Fells has mostly been a low-yardage, touchdown-dependent player during his time in Houston, but the last couple have games have seen an uptick in his yardage. Those games have come with Jordan Akins (ankle) sidelined, though, so we’re not quite sure what to think

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught four of seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in a 38-7 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. It was a quality outing for Washington, who was Ben Roethlisberger‘s most-targeted wide receiver with Diontae Johnson inactive due to a back injury. Washington reeled in a 28-yard touchdown from Big Ben in the second quarter as

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham continued his breakout season in Week 6, catching six passes for 75 yards and a touchdown. His score came on a fourth quarter 18-yard pass from Carson Wentz. The Eagles offense as a whole struggled through the first three quarters, with Fulgham only coming down with two catches until the fourth quarter started. He saw 10 targets in total,

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 30 of 41 passes for 364 yards, four touchdowns and an interception in Sunday’s 42-36 overtime win over the Texans. He also threw a successful two-point conversion and lost a fumble. Tannehill passed for a trio of first-half touchdowns, finding Anthony Firkser from seven yards out, A.J. Brown from six and Adam Humphries from 22. Tannehill is flourishing in

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V caught six of his 11 targets in Sunday’s loss to the Titans, finishing with 123 yards and a touchdown. Fuller got loose for a 53-yard touchdown to help the Texans counter just after a huge Derrick Henry scoring play. Fuller led the team in targets and reminded fantasy managers why he’s a high-upside WR2 play most weeks. The

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught all four of his targets for 74 yards and added two rushes for seven yards and a touchdown in a 38-7 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. Claypool found the end zone for the fifth time over his past two games when he rushed for a three-yard score in the third quarter. He wound up leading

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 22 times for 212 yards and two touchdowns while catching two of five targets for 52 yards in Sunday’s 42-36 overtime win over Houston. The superstar running back has scored multiple rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games, and Henry’s averaging 117.6 yards per game on the ground heading into a Week 7 showdown with the Steelers. Henry will

Houston Texans running back David Johnson scored his third rushing touchdown of 2020 in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Titans. The former Cardinals rusher had 19 carries, finishing with 57 yards. Not the most efficient day, but getting into the end zone helped salvage things. Johnson also added a 12-yard reception. While Johnson isn’t back to being the same player he was earlier in his

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis carried the ball 18 times for 52 yards and a score while hauling in two receptions for just three receiving yards. Davis came out of the gate running well, with eight carries for 40 yards, but it was tough sledding the rest of the way, as the Chicago defense contained him to 12 yards on 10 carries. The veteran

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught just two of four targets for six yards in a 38-7 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. It goes in the books as another disappointing outing for Smith-Schuster, who was outproduced by both James Washington and rookie Chase Claypool in the blowout win. It has clearly not been a priority for the offense to get the

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott ran the ball twice in a Week 6 loss, gaining just four yards. He also made two catches for five yards, on four targets. Scott continued to work far behind starter Miles Sanders. He was nothing more than an occasional change of pace in the backfield. Scott is worth keeping on a roster for those who have Miles Sanders
