The scoring was pretty big in Week 6, seeing seven players top 30 fantasy points. The running back position had four of those players that topped 30 fantasy points. It is good to see that position putting up some game-changing performances. If you had one of those backs in your lineup for Week 6, you likely won your game. Hopefully, you were able to take advantage of some of these big fantasy performances this week.

Giants 34, Eagles 17

Fantasy Stud: Cam Skattebo. Skattebo had a monster game, finding the end zone three times. He ran 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns. He also had two catches for 12 yards, giving him 110 total yards in the game. Skattebo scored 31 fantasy points in the game. He has at least 13 fantasy points five straight games

Fantasy Dud: Saquon Barkley. Barkley had another disappointing performance. He ran 12 times for 58 yards and caught two passes for nine yards. This was his worst fantasy game of the season, scoring just 8.7 fantasy points. He has fewer than double-digit fantasy points two of four games. Barkley is yet to have more than 20 fantasy points in a game and has 60 or fewer rushing yards all but a game. He is not having near the season he had last year.

Game Notes: A.J. Brown was much more involved in the offense, catching six passes for 80 yards. This was his second-highest yardage total of the season.

Jaxson Dart had a solid showing, throwing for 195 yards and a touchdown without a turnover. He also ran 13 times for 58 yards and a touchdown. Dart scored a season-high 25.55 fantasy points.

Broncos 13, Jets 11

Fantasy Stud: Broncos defense. This game was not a good one for fantasy production. There was just one touchdown between both teams. But if you had either defense, you got some fantasy points. Denver was really impressive, holding the Jets to just 92 total yards of offense. Yes, you read that right. New York had fewer than 100 yards of offense. Denver also had nine sacks in the game. It was quite an impressive performance from the Broncos defense. They dominated the game

Fantasy Dud: Justin Fields. Fields has been an elite fantasy quarterback to start the season but that wasn’t the case in this game. Fields was 9-of-17 for just 45 yards and ran for 31 yards. Fields scored just 5.35 fantasy points. It was the first game he started and finished that he didn’t have at least 28 fantasy points. This was an alarming game for his fantasy owners.

Game Notes: Evan Engram led the Broncos in receiving, finishing with five receptions for 42 yards. Engram has a least four receptions three straight games.

Garrett Wilson had three receptions for 13 yards. Both were season-low totals for Wilson. He had at least 50 yards every game before this one.

Rams 17, Ravens 3

Fantasy Stud: Derrick Henry. There were few bright spots offensively in this one, but Henry had his best game since Week 1. He ran 24 times for 122 yards. Henry also caught a pass for eight yards. This was his second 100-yard game of the season. He scored 14 fantasy points

Fantasy Dud: Puka Nacua. Nacua did hurt his foot in this game and missed some time, but was able to return to the field. He had his worst showing of the season, though, catching two passes for just 28 yards. Nacua scored just 4.8 fantasy points. He had at least 22 fantasy points every game before this one.

Game Notes: Cooper Rush was pulled from the game. He was 11-of-19 for 72 yards and an interception. He also lost a fumble. Tyler Huntley replaced him and was 10-of-15 for 68 yards. Huntley ran three times for 39 yards.

Tyler Higbee had four receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown. This was his first touchdown of the season.

Chargers 29, Dolphins 27

Fantasy Stud: Devon Achane. Achane ran 16 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns. He had four receptions for 22 yards. Achane scored 31 fantasy points, topping 30 points for the first time this year. He has at least 16 fantasy points every game and been one of the best fantasy backs all season long

Fantasy Dud: Keenan Allen. Allen had a surprisingly quiet performance, especially since Quentin Johnston was out of the lineup for the Chargers. Despite that, Allen had four receptions for 27 yards. He scored a season-low 6.7 fantasy points. Allen has fewer than double-digit fantasy points two of three games.

Game Notes: Kimani Vidal was the lead back most of the game for the Chargers and had a great showing in that role, rushing 18 times for 124 yards. Hassan Haskins ran six times for just 14 yards.

Ladd McConkey had seven receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown. He has touchdowns two straight games.

Panthers 30, Cowboys 27

Fantasy Stud: Rico Dowdle. Dowdle got another start and had another huge game. He ran 30 times for 183 yards. He also caught four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. Dowdle led the Panthers in rushing and receiving. He has more than 200-plus total yards two straight games. The Panthers are going to have a hard time keeping him out of the lineup - even when Chuba Hubbard is healthy. Dowdle is on some kind of role

Fantasy Dud: Javonte Williams. Williams got his touches but was held in check for once. He ran 13 times for just 29 yards and caught five passes for five yards. He had 18 total touches but just 8.4 fantasy points. It was his first game all season with fewer than 13 fantasy points.

Game Notes: Bryce Young had his second three-touchdown game of the season. He was 17-of-25 for 199 yards and three touchdowns with an interception.

George Pickens had nine receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown. He has touchdowns five straight games and 100-yard showings two of three.

Colts 31, Cardinals 27

Fantasy Stud: Trey McBride. McBride had another great game, catching eight passes for 72 yards and a touchdown. He had more than 20 fantasy points for the first time this season, scoring 21.2 fantasy points. McBride has double-digit targets two of three games.

Fantasy Dud: Michael Pittman. This looked like a good matchup for Pittman, but he wasn’t able to exploit it. He had two receptions for 20 yards. Pittman had touchdowns three straight games coming into this one. He had a season-low three targets. 

Game Notes: Marvin Harrison was knocked from this game with a possible concussion. He had two receptions for 32 yards before getting hurt.

He also has at least 13 fantasy points every game. Smith-Njigba has clearly emerged as an elite fantasy receiver. The numbers don’t lie

Fantasy Dud: Travis Etienne. Etienne had his worst rushing game of the season, rushing 12 times for just 27 yards. He had just 9.5 fantasy points, failing to hit double-digit fantasy points two straight games. Etienne has cooled a little in recent weeks but still has a pretty firm grip on the starter’s job in Jacksonville right now.

Game Notes: Brian Thomas is getting on the same page with Trevor Lawrence. Thomas had eight receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown. Thomas has three straight games with double-digit fantasy points.

Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet continue to split the work at running back for the Seahawks. Walker ran 10 times for 34 yards while Charbonnet had 12 carries for 24 yards.

Patriots 25, Saints 19

Fantasy Stud: Kayshon Boutte. Boutte led the way at receiver for the Patriots this week, finishing with five receptions for 93 yards and two touchdowns. This was his first game with more than 50 yards since the opener. Boutte had four straight with fewer than double-digit fantasy points until this 26.3 fantasy point performance

Fantasy Dud: Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson had an awful game, running 13 times for just 18 yards. He did not catch a pass in the game. The only positive for Stevenson is he did not fumble in the game. Stevenson had just 1.8 fantasy points and fewer than seven fantasy points three of four games. He is a very hard fantasy player to trust.

Game Notes: Drake Maye had his third three-touchdown performance. He was 18-of-26 for 261 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover.

Taysom Hill had just a touch in the game but it was a one-yard touchdown run. Hill made the most of his only opportunity.

Steelers 23, Browns 9

Fantasy Stud: DK Metcalf. Metcalf had four receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown. The Steelers might not throw much but when they do, Metcalf is heavily involved. He has touchdowns four straight games and at least 11 fantasy points every game. His consistency is a welcome sight for his fantasy owners

Fantasy Dud: Quinshon Judkins. The Steelers did a great job of limiting Judkins. He ran 12 times for 36 yards and didn’t catch a single pass. It was a really disappointing showing, especially since Judkins had two straight games with 100-plus total yards. He had just 3.6 fantasy points, breaking a streak of four straight with double-digit points.

Game Notes: Harold Fannin had seven receptions for 81 yards. Both totals were season highs for the rookie tight end.

Jaylen Warren returned from his knee injury and ran 11 times for 52 yards. He also caught two passes for 11 yards. It was his first game this year failing to reach double-digit fantasy points.

Raiders 20, Titans 10

Fantasy Stud: Michael Mayer. Mayer had a big game, getting a chance to start with Brock Bowers out of the lineup. Mayer had five receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown. Mayer had just six receptions all season before this showing As long as Bowers is sidelined, Mayer has value to fantasy teams as a starter in this offense

Fantasy Dud: Calvin Ridley. Just when you think you can start to trust Ridley once again, he has another disappointing performance. He had just a catch for 18 yards and left the game early with a hamstring injury. This comes after a game he finished with five receptions for 131 yards on 10 targets. He went the opposite direction, getting just one target in Week 6.

Game Notes: Ashton Jeanty scored a touchdown, giving him scores two of three games. Jeanty ran 23 times for 75 yards and a touchdown. He also had two catches for 11 yards, giving him 15-plus fantasy points three straight games.

Tre Tucker led the Raiders in receiving, finishing with five receptions for 70 yards. Tucker has 11-plus fantasy points four of six games this year.

Packers 27, Bengals 18

Fantasy Stud: Josh Jacobs. Jacobs had his second straight game with 30-plus fantasy points. He ran 18 times for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Jacobs also had five receptions for 57 yards. He has touchdowns four of five games and at least 12 fantasy points every game. Jacobs is having another big season as the lead back for the Packers

Fantasy Dud: Chase Brown. Brown averaged 4.7 yards per carry but still didn’t help fantasy teams. He ran nine times for 42 yards and caught two passes for seven yards. Brown scored just 8.9 fantasy points. He has fewer than double-digit fantasy points three of five games. Brown is one of the biggest busts in fantasy right now.

Game Notes: Joe Flacco gave the Bengals passing game a spark in his first start with the team. He was 29-of-45 for 219 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover.

Ja’Marr Chase reached double-digit receptions for the second time this year. He had 10 receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.

Bucs 30, 49ers 19

Fantasy Stud: Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey was held in check running the ball but that didn’t matter for his fantasy production. He found the end zone and racked up seven receptions. He ran 17 times for 54 yards and a touchdown. McCaffrey also had seven receptions for 57 yards on eight targets. He scored 24.1 fantasy points, giving him 22-plus fantasy points all six games this season

Fantasy Dud: Emeka Egbuka. The Bucs won and threw for some yards, but Egbuka was not a factor. He had just two receptions for 24 yards and had to leave the game early because of a hamstring injury. It was the worst fantasy game of his young career and the injury is a concern going forward. Egbuka failed to reach double-digit fantasy points for the first time, scoring just 4.4 points.

Game Notes: Kendrick Bourne had five receptions for 142 yards. He has two straight games with 142 yards.

Mac Jones was able to play with his injuries but had some struggles. He was 27-of-39 for 347 yards with two interceptions. He hit the 300-yard mark but didn’t score a touchdown for the first time this year.

Chiefs 30, Lions 17

Fantasy Stud: Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is absolutely rolling right now. He had four total touchdowns. He was 22-of-30 for 257 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. He also ran seven times for 34 yards and a touchdown. Mahomes scored 34.15 fantasy points, giving him three straight games with 30-plus fantasy points. And Mahomes gets his No. 1 receiver back from suspension next week. Watch out

Fantasy Dud: Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs had 17 carries for 65 yards and caught just a pass for no gain. It was not the type of game you expect from Gibbs. The Chiefs did a good job of preventing the big play from Gibbs and limiting his work in the passing game. It was a rare down game from the superstar back.

Game Notes: Marquise Brown had four receptions for 45 yards and two touchdowns. It was his first multiple-touchdown game of the season. He has scores two of his last three games.

Jameson Williams got it going after three straight poor games. He had six receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown on seven targets.
