Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram was targeted often throughout the Week 6 loss to the Chicago Bears. After not playing since Week 1, Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars made up for lost time by targeting Engram 10 times in this game. He caught all 10 of them for 102 yards but unfortunately couldn't find paydirt. Whenever healthy, Engram is a top tight end, especially in PPR formats. The good thing for fantasy managers is that Engram's fantasy success doesn't depend on the team's success. He'll look to keep the momentum going against the New England Patriots in another London game in Week 7.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis posted his best game of the season in a 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears. In the Jaguars' first of two London games, Davis posted five receptions for 45 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets. He was the second-most targeted pass-catcher on the team behind only Evan Engram. Three of his eight targets were in the red zone which is the most he's received in a single game so far this year. Davis and the Jaguars will stick around in England until they play the New England Patriots in Week 7.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence registered another QB2-level performance during the 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears in London. The 25-year-old continues to struggle as the team fell to 1-5 on the year. He ended this game with 234 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception on 23-for-35 throwing. He added four carries for 17 yards and was sacked three times. The silver lining is that he has thrown for at least two touchdowns in each of the last three games, but the offense continues to sputter as they average just 18.8 points per game. He'll try to right the ship against the New England Patriots in another London game in Week 7.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on 18 totes in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Panthers, adding one catch for three yards as well. The third-year back has been good when given an opportunity, averaging 5.5 yards per carry so far this season. Bijan Robinson was productive as well, rushing for 95 yards and two scores, but with Robinson popping up on the injury report earlier in the week and the Falcons in control of this game, Allgeier garnered more opportunities than usual. Prior to this contest, he had yet to reach double-digit carries in a game this season. Next week the Falcons draw a weak rush defense against Seattle, a defense that is allowing 5.0 yards per carry which is sixth-worst in the NFL. The 24-year-old remains a strong insurance policy for Robinson managers and will be worthy of FLEX consideration in better matchups.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Panthers. The 36-year-old tallied 225 pass yards and threw just one touchdown pass, as it was the ground game that took over in this one with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier combining for 200 yards rushing and three TDs. Outside of his monster Week 5 performance, the veteran QB has been fairly pedestrian for fantasy, with only two multi-touchdown performances in six games, while Sunday marked just the second time this season that he didn't throw an interception. Next week's potentially high-scoring home date with Seattle makes him a viable streaming option though, and assuming the offense keeps progressing he should be at least a high-end QB2 most weeks with upside.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears with a hamstring issue and didn't return. Head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that the 25-year-old is now considered week-to-week. The once bell-cow type of back hasn't seen more than 13 carries in a game this season and finished with six in Week 5 and three in Week 6 before leaving. He even went from 70% snap share in Week 1 down to 38% in Week 5. With Etienne's status unclear, Tank Bigsby will likely take on most of the snap share while D'Ernest Johnson will slot in as the backup.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was efficient with his touches in the blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys, but only turned in an RB2-level performance. The dynamic back finished with 63 yards on 12 carries and caught three of his five targets for 28 yards. This game was another instance where David Montgomery took over in the red zone and took the touchdowns instead of Gibbs. Despite that, Gibbs has remained at a higher value in PPR formats since he returned to being involved in the passing game. He might have a tough time against a stout Vikings defense in Week 7 though.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette scored for the second time in his career during the 38-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. He finished with four targets, three receptions, 23 yards, and one touchdown. The rookie's fantasy value has increased since Andy Dalton took over at QB and Adam Thielen (hamstring) went out with a hamstring injury. In that span, Legette has received 18 targets and turned them into 12 receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Legette and the Panthers will have to go to the air often next week as they take on the Washington Commanders in Week 7.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff delivered a dominant fantasy performance in Week 6, finishing as a top-5 QB. Goff was highly efficient, completing 18 of 25 passes for an impressive 315 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for five yards on three attempts in Detroit's 47-9 blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys. This strong outing highlighted Goff's continued effectiveness and secured a high output for fantasy managers this week. His performance placed him as a top-5 fantasy quarterback in Week 6, showcasing his consistency as a reliable starter. Goff's connection with key receivers helped power the Lions' offense in one of their most decisive wins of the season. Fantasy managers can look forward to Goff's potential for similar performances in favorable matchups moving forward. The 30-year-old is a high-end QB2 in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had a standout performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6, recording five receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns. Both of his touchdowns came in the first half, providing the Bears' offense with crucial momentum that carried into the second half. Kmet showcased his strength on his first touchdown, powering through a defender en route to the end zone. His second touchdown featured a perfectly executed route in the red zone just before halftime. Additionally, Kmet stepped up as the team's emergency long snapper after Scott Daly injured his knee in the first quarter. The Bears will enjoy a bye week next week before taking on the Commanders in Week 8.

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams showcased his best performance of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Week 6, he completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. After starting the game with two consecutive three-and-outs, Williams rebounded impressively, delivering some excellent throws in the red zone and making key plays as a scrambler. Although he threw one interception, it was one of the few missteps in an otherwise strong game. Additionally, Williams contributed 56 rushing yards on four carries, highlighting his dual-threat capability, which significantly boosts his fantasy value. Following a trip to London in Week 6, the Bears will enjoy a bye week, setting the stage for a highly anticipated matchup in Week 8 against the Commanders, featuring the top two picks of the 2024 NFL Draft.

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift delivered an impressive performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He tallied 17 carries for 91 yards, a touchdown, and four receptions for 28 yards. Swift was active throughout the game, contributing significantly to both the rushing and passing attacks. His efforts culminated in a one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, a welcome sight for fantasy owners after he was vultured by Roschon Johnson the previous week. With this being Swift's third consecutive strong game, fantasy managers can likely put his rough start to the season behind them and confidently consider him a starting running back for the remainder of the year. The Bears will have a bye week next week before facing the Commanders in Week 8.

In Week 6, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had a quiet outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars, finishing with four catches for 25 yards and no touchdowns. His performance could have been much more impactful if quarterback Caleb Williams had connected with him on a deep pass in the second quarter, as Moore had gotten behind the secondary. Unfortunately, Williams underthrew the ball, resulting in an interception rather than a touchdown for the Bears. Moore was also initially credited with a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but after review, it was determined he was down at the one-yard line. D'Andre Swift then scored on the next play. Moore's day was marked by missed opportunities, which he hopes to capitalize on in the coming weeks. He briefly left the field for the medical tent in the third quarter but returned at the start of the fourth quarter. The Bears will take a bye next week to regroup before facing the Commanders in Week 8.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen had a standout performance this Sunday against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars secondary, delivering his best game of the season. He recorded five catches for 41 yards and two touchdowns, marking his first touchdown as a Bear. After starting the season with an injury, Allen looks to have regained his health. His early-season heel injury had sidelined him for two of the first five games, and even after returning in Week 4, he didn't appear to be fully himself. Both touchdowns came in the red zone, highlighting his potential as a significant threat near the goal line when healthy. The Bears will enjoy a bye week next week before taking on the Commanders in Week 8.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze had a modest outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6, catching two passes for 40 yards and no touchdowns. One highlight was his impressive 28-yard reception, showcasing his strong playability. However, with Cole Kmet and Keenan Allen enjoying standout performances in the passing game, Odunze didn't see enough opportunities to make a significant impact. This marks the second time he has received three targets or fewer in three weeks. With all three receivers and Kmet healthy, the Bears' receiving hierarchy appears to be taking shape, positioning Odunze as the fourth option. The Bears will have a bye week next week before facing the Commanders in Week 8.

Wide receiver Bub Means scored his first touchdown as a pro in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The rookie out of Pitt snagged a ten-yard toss from fellow fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler as Means was heading out of the side of the end zone and got both feet down before his momentum carried him out of bounds. Means stepped into the game to replace Chris Olave (concussion) who left after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit on the Saints' third play of the game. Means ended up with 45 receiving yards and tied Alvin Kamara for the team lead in targets (eight) and receptions (five). With the Saints next playing on Thursday night, it is unlikely that Olave will be ready to go which would allow Means to continue where he left off. Before fantasy managers rush to the waiver wire, consider Rattler's inconsistent performance and that New Orleans will be facing the Denver Broncos who have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed scored a 54-yard punt return touchdown in the team's 51-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A combination of poor angles, good blocking, and Shaheed's speed allowed the receiver to make his path to the end zone easy. Things did not go as smoothly as part of the offense, though. Shaheed was targeted seven times but had just one reception for 11 yards with rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler filling in for the injured Derek Carr (oblique). Rattler showed the ability to make deeper passes intermittently throughout the game but his accuracy was maddingly inconsistent and Shaheed wound up paying the price. New Orleans will face the Denver Broncos' stingy secondary in Week 7. Rattler will draw another start but Shaheed will serve as the team's primary receiver as it is unlikely that Chris Olave (concussion) will clear the league's concussion protocol before the Thursday night matchup.

Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler was dealt a loss in his professional debut as the New Orleans Saints fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 51-27. Rattler went 22-for-40 for 243 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions and gained 27 yards on four carries. Rattler started the game with a 27-yard strike to Juwan Johnson but followed it up with a fumbled snap (which he recovered) on the next play. So it went for the fifth-round pick, alternating between impressive displays of arm strength (often while on the run) and wildly inaccurate throws. Rattler was surprisingly efficient to start, completing 11 of his first 14 attempts, though as Tampa turned up the pressure as the game went on Rattler found it harder and harder to remain effective. It is worth noting that Rattler was without Chris Olave (concussion) for much of the game after the receiver took a helmet-to-helmet hit just three plays into the Saints' first possession. New Orleans kicks off Week 7 when they face the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. Rattler should draw another start but he will be hard to trust on a short week.

Running back Alvin Kamara took 13 carries for 40 yards on the ground and caught five of his eight targets for another 24 in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kamara also found the end zone in the second quarter for his sixth rushing touchdown of the season (seventh overall). With Tampa seemingly scoring at will, New Orleans was playing catch-up for much of the game and subsequently abandoned the run. Similar to Week 5's showing against Kansas City, Kamara was hard-pressed to find room to run as the Saints' offensive line could not open up any lanes for the back against a dominating defensive front. New Orleans gets a few days' rest before opening up Week 7 against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Considering the short week and the opponent, the Saints will probably be best served to get the NFL's touch leader more involved again, especially since receiver Chris Olave (concussion) is unlikely to clear the concussion protocol in time to be active.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton led the team with six receptions for 57 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals but couldn't find the end zone. Slayton averaged 9.5 yards per catch, with his longest reception going for 15 yards, and he was targeted 11 times, including a key pass interference penalty drawn in the end zone that set up a touchdown at the one-yard line. Despite his involvement, the Giants' offensive woes limited his fantasy impact to 8.7 points. While Malik Nabers is out, Slayton remains a solid deep-league flex option due to his target share, but his upside will depend on better red-zone execution from the Giants' offense.
