As always, watch out for these bye teams this week. Adjust your roster accordingly.
NFL Week 6 Injuries (offensive players only):
- the biggest news is obviously the injury to Ben Roethlisberger, he will likely miss a few weeks given he just had surgery
- LeSean McCoy may have a leg injury, left game but came back, Rex claims there’s no issues with him
- Eddie Lacy not likely to play this Thursday, Knile Davis could see significant action, he was just traded to the Packers today
- Odell Beckham Jr. has a hip pointer issue, he had obvious limp during game
- Davante Adams left game with an apparent concussion
- Eddie Royal suffered a toe injury and did not return to game
- Carlos Hyde suffered shoulder injury but came back to the game later
Week 7 Waiver Wire Watchlist:
QB
- Case Keenum – solid game over 300 yards and 3 TDs
- Brian Hoyer – over 300 yards in 4 straight games, with 6 TD and 0 INT udring that stretch
- Marcus Mariota had 30 and 27 fantasy points the last 2 weeks.
WR
- Robert Woods isn’t a big name, but he’s the clear #1 WR on the Bills, the offense has been explosive since they fired their OC earlier in the year
- Adam Thielen had a solid game heading into the bye last week, he’s now the clear #2 WR on the Vikings
- Cameron Meredith had another solid game, if he wasn’t snatched up last week, he definintely will be this week, he actually had more targets in Alshon
- Corey Coleman will be back in a couple weeks
- Ty Montgomery 10 catches on 12 targets
RB
- Devontae Booker should be owned in all leagues at this point, Booker will take over CJ Anderson’s job eventually, Anderson is only averaging 3.5 YPC while Booker at 4.7 YPC
- Preseason sleeper Jay Ajayi is eligible in 70% of leagues, he just went off for 204 yards on only 25 carries.
- Dion Lewis is eligible to come back this week and could be back in a few weeks, in the mean time, James White is the pass catching back that might be worth picking up now
- If Jacquizz Rodgers wasn’t picked up last week, he’s coming off a bye week, could be worth a look
- If Hyde is hurt, Mike Davis will get some carries
- Zach Zenner with the majority carries this week
- Knile Davis could start or get good amount of carries if Eddie Lacy is out
TE
- C.J. Fiedorowicz is second on the team in targets over the last 2 weeks
NFL Week 6 Box Scores:
Below are all 15 box scores from NFL week 6 action, showing just the skill positions. I typically like to quickly browse through all the box scores for skill positions. Let’s see if there’s any surprises.
- Denver is screwed at QB no matter who they start
- Guess the OC was really the problem to start the season
- SF is screwed at QB no matter who they start
- Allen Robinson disappeared this season
- Cameron Meredith is a must own at this point
- Case Keenum isn’t terrible afterall
- After 2 years of hype, Ajayi finally doing work
- Big Ben injury going to hurt big time
- James White is a solid pass catching back (until Dion Lewis comes back)
- Hill/Bernard situation is a mess for fantasy owners
- guess JStew is back
- Coby Fleener finally worth that crazy contract?
- Sterling Shepard and Victor Cruz disappeared last few weeks after that hot start
- Giants have ZERO run game
- Mariota had solid back to back games
- Terrelle Pryor is no fluke
- 4th (or 5th) string QB Cody Kessler could finally be the answer at QB for the Browns
- Wentz hitting that rookie wall
- Matt Jones quietly having a solid season, if Gruden would just stop with the committee bs
- Spencer Ware still killing it despite Jamaal getting solid reps
- its crazy how one draft changed the entire dynamic of the Cowboys, Dak and Zeke for years to come is a scary thought
- Ty Montgomery big game a fluke? Adams did get hurt this game
- Sanu with 10 targets and a TD, not too shabby
- Tevin Coleman such a tease, or just inconsistent
- Lamar Miller making Matthew Berry look good
- C.J. Fiedorowicz could be a solid option at TE
- if somehow you didn’t know who David Johnson was coming into the season, now you do
- poor Fitzpatrick never going to get that deal he wanted
- Charone Peake with 10 targets, could be Decker replacement?
