[CAR - RB Christian McCaffrey goes nowhere on ground](#45) 46. [CAR - QB Cam Newton comes up short in D.C.](#46) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [CAR - No setbacks for TE Greg Olsen]( Source: 1 No Source Carolina Panthers TE [Greg Olsen]( (foot) returned with four catches and 48 yards on seven targets in Week 6 against the Washington Redskins. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Olsen made it through the game without incident and appears to be back among the TE1 ranks. He'll be worth a start against the Eagles next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [OAK - RB Marshawn Lynch totals 16 touches]() Source: ESPNFlorida.com - Tommy Rancel Oakland Raiders RB [Marshawn Lynch]( rushed 13 times for 45 yards in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks in London and he added three receptions for 14 yards. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lynch is almost impossible to trust in this Raiders offense despite a strong start to the season. He'll be worth carrying through the bye, but more as depth than a dedicated RB2. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [SEA - RB Rashaad Penny totals 11 touches]() Source: 1 No Source Seattle Seahawks RB [Rashaad Penny]( rushed nine times for 43 yards in Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders in London and he added two receptions for 27 yards on two targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Penny still looks very able and talented but is third on the depth chart. He is on a run first team that is doing well establishing their will on offense and that makes him worth holding through the bye in deep leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [SEA - WR Doug {NAME} bangs up his elbow]() Source: The Seattle Times - Bob Condotta Seattle Seahawks WR [Doug {NAME}]( went for six receptions for 91 yards on eight targets in Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders in London, but he said after the game that he banged up his elbow. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] {NAME} was making plays downfield for Wilson and gave reason for hope of his value returning after his bye, pending the condition of his elbow. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [SEA - Mediocre day for RB Chris Carson]() Source: 1 No Source Seattle Seahawks RB [Chris Carson]( rushed 14 times for a game-high 59 yards in Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders in London. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Carson had a touchdown wiped off of the board by penalty and the Raiders didn't put up enough of a fight to keep Carson in the game late. He's still a matchup RB2/Flex even when the good matchups like this one don't quite work out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [SEA - QB Russell Wilson posts 222 yards, three TDs]() Source: 1 No Source Seattle Seahawks QB [Russell Wilson]( completed 17-of-23 passes for 222 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders in London. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Wilson continues to be highly efficient and in tune with his receivers, but the game scripts for the run heavy Seahawks aren't giving him an opportunity to put up big point totals. He's still a safe quarterback play going into his bye, although he hasn't been getting ceiling games yet. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [MIA - WR Kenny Stills limited to one catch]( Source: NFL Miami Dolphins WR [Kenny Stills]( went for just one grab for 35 yards on two targets in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Stills might be droppable at this point. He hasn't done much since a Week 1 outburst and the short passing game is the preferred mode for this offense right now. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [MIA - WR Danny Amendola targeted 11 times]( Source: ESPNFlorida.com - Tommy Rancel Miami Dolphins WR [Danny Amendola]( finished with eight receptions for 59 yards on 11 targets in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Amendola could have some staying power against the Lions next week if Brock Osweiler starts again. He should dodge Darius Slay playing in the slot. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [MIA - WR Albert Wilson has giant day in Week 6]( Source: ESPN Stats and Information Miami Dolphins WR [Albert Wilson]( finished with six receptions for 155 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Wilson has had some quiet weeks, but his two big games have been about as good as any wide receiver games this season. He'll be a consideration as a flex play in any given week on the strength of these big performances. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [MIA - RB Kenyan Drake nearly fumble game away]( Source: 1 No Source Miami Dolphins RB [Kenyan Drake]( rushed 13 times for 57 yards in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears and he added four receptions for 21 yards. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Drake had an unforced error fumble in overtime at the goal line as he was about to win the game, but redeemed himself with good gains later in overtime. He's just a flex game, but one with a great matchup against the Lions next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [MIA - RB Frank Gore goes over century mark]() Source: The Miami Herald - Adam H. Beasley Miami Dolphins RB [Frank Gore]( recorded his 46th-career 100-yard game in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears, finishing with 101 yards on 15 carries. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Gore was as powerful as ever in the win, although he gave way to Kenyan Drake later in overtime. He's still just desperation depth as long as Drake is playing, but Gore showed that he's far from done heading into a matchup against Detroit. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [MIA - QB Brock Osweiler leads OT victory]( Source: 1 No Source Miami Dolphins QB [Brock Osweiler]( completed 28-of-44 passes for 380 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 6 overtime win against the Chicago Bears. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It was Osweiler's best game of his career even though he threw a near pick six. He could add years to his career as a backup on the strength of this performance fueled by high percentage passes and poor tackling by the Bears. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [CHI - TE Trey Burton good for touchdown]( Source: 1 No Source Chicago Bears TE [Trey Burton]( ended up with four receptions, 23 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Burton caught a touchdown on a shovel pass and has been relatively consistent for a tight end this year. He's a TE1 next week against the Patriots. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [CHI - WR Allen Robinson gets into the end zone]( Source: 1 No Source Chicago Bears WR [Allen Robinson]( pulled down five receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins on six targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Robinson's ability is back to his top levels, he's just in an offense with a lot of threats. He's a high ceiling WR3/Flex against the Patriots next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [CHI - WR Taylor Gabriel goes over 100 yards]( Source: 1 No Source Chicago Bears WR [Taylor Gabriel]( posted five receptions for 110 yards on his five targets in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Gabriel isn't going away as it appears that Matt Nagy is using him to run the Tyreek Hill deep routes and Gabriel is coming through. He's a high ceiling WR3/Flex next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [CHI - RB Tarik Cohen totals 121 yards, TD]( Source: 1 No Source Chicago Bears RB [Tarik Cohen]( rushed five times for 31 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins and he added seven receptions for 90 yards on nine targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cohen was explosive as a receiver and effective in limited opportunity as a runner. He'll be a solid RB2 until he lets us down. Expect another good game against the slow Patriots defense next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [CHI - RB Jordan Howard totals 69 rushing yards]( Source: 1 No Source Chicago Bears RB [Jordan Howard]( rushed 14 times for 69 yards in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Howard had a goal line fumble or he would have had a reasonable RB2 day. He's inching closer to matchup flex status with Tarik Cohen coming through again this week. He's not an automatic start against the Patriots next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [CHI - QB Mitchell Trubisky tosses three TDs]( Source: 1 No Source Chicago Bears QB [Mitchell Trubisky]( completed 22-of-31 passes for 316 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the Week 6 game against the Miami Dolphins and he ran for 47 yards on eight attempts. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Trubisky had a terrible red zone interception, but otherwise played well against a shorthanded Dolphins defense. He'll be streamable against the Patriots. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [CIN - TE C.J. Uzomah busy in home loss]() Source: 1 No Source Cincinnati Bengals TE [C.J. Uzomah]( posted six receptions for 54 yards on seven targets in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Uzomah came through in a ready-made matchup for streamers. He'll be back in our lineups against the Chiefs next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [CIN - WR Tyler Boyd scores pair of TDs]() Source: 1 No Source Cincinnati Bengals WR [Tyler Boyd]( racked up seven grabs for 62 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Boyd was on fire going into Week 5, but slowed down against the Dolphins. The Steelers defense lost him twice in the red zone to account for his third big game in six weeks. He'll be a must play against the Chiefs next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [MIN - WR Adam Thielen continues outstanding play]( Source: Vikings.com Minnesota Vikings WR [Adam Thielen]( caught 11 passes for 123 yards and one touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Starting a season with six straight 100-yard games is like Halley's Comet. Obviously Thielen and Kirk Cousins have a special connection and they will face a banged up Jets secondary. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [MIN - RB Latavius Murray has monster game]( Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings RB [Latavius Murray]( rushed for 155 yards and one touchdown on 24 carries against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cardinals run defense is eminently beatable no matter what the opposing running games were doing going into the matchup. Next week Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman will get to run against them. If Dalvin Cook isn't ready, Murray could be a solid RB2 play against the Jets. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [MIN - QB Kirk Cousins finishes with two TDs]( Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings QB [Kirk Cousins]( went 24-for-34 for 233 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. He also rushed for 14 yards and one touchdown on four carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cousins didn't have a big game with Stefon Diggs blotted out by Patrick Peterson, but his rushing touchdown helped keep him in the range of solid scores in the easy win for his team. He remains a strong QB1 heading into a matchup with the Jets. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [ARI - Five receptions for TE Ricky Seals-Jones]( Source: NFL.com Arizona Cardinals TE [Ricky Seals-Jones]( caught five passes for 69 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Seals-Jones value got off the deck with the Cardinals passing game. He might be worth a streamer start against the Broncos next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [CIN - RB Joe Mixon runs for 64 yards, TD]() Source: 1 No Source Cincinnati Bengals RB [Joe Mixon]( rushed 11 times for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and he added four grabs for 20 yards on seven targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mixon didn't get a chance to get in a groove in the running game, but he was able to score the go ahead touchdown to salvage his week. He'll have a high ceiling against the Chiefs next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 26. [ARI - WR Christian Kirk has solid performance]( Source: NFL.com Arizona Cardinals WR [Christian Kirk]( caught six passes for 77 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Josh Rosen played better than he did in Week 5, and Kirk didn't have to depend on a long touchdown to have solid numbers. He'll be in the WR3/Flex mix with four teams on bye next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 27. [ARI - RB David Johnson reaches end zone]( Source: NFL.com Arizona Cardinals RB [David Johnson]( rushed for 55 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6. He also caught two passes for 15 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Johnson's role in the passing game is still unthinkably limited and he isn't being set up for big plays or a high volume, but he is still putting up decent RB1 numbers because when the Cardinals score it's almost always him. He'll remain a low ceiling RB1 against Denver next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 28. [CLE - WR Jarvis Landry held to 11 yards](=) Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns WR [Jarvis Landry]( caught two passes for 11 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Landry has been a huge disappointment since Baker Mayfield took over. He has a great matchup against the Bucs next week and many more good ones after that. He's still worth a WR3/Flex start next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 29. [CLE - TE David Njoku catches seven passes](=) Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns TE [David Njoku]( caught seven passes for 55 yards and one touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Njoku does a great job owning the area around him in the air and should remain an every week TE1 start. He has the Bucs matchup that Austin Hooper lit up today next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 30. [PIT - TE Vance McDonald records seven grabs]() Source: 1 No Source Pittsburgh Steelers TE [Vance McDonald]( absorbed seven of his eight targets for 68 yards in the Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McDonald bounced back after a quiet Week 5 and showed that he should be in weekly consideration at the very thin tight end position. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 31. [CLE - WR Damion Ratley finishes with 82 yards](=) Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns WR [Damion Ratley]( caught six passes for 82 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ratley might be more reliable than Antonio Callaway heading into a great matchup against the Bucs. He's worth a look in deep leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 32. [PIT - WR Antonio Brown provides late heroics]() Source: 1 No Source Pittsburgh Steelers WR [Antonio Brown]( finished with five receptions for 105 yards and a game-winning 48-yard touchdown in the Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Brown was quiet against the Bengals until the game-winning play, but it highlighted his weekly upside if this was a down game until that play. The targets are there for him to deliver on his lofty ADP after the bye. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 33. [PIT - WR JuJu Smith-Schuster targeted 10 times]() Source: 1 No Source Pittsburgh Steelers WR [JuJu Smith-Schuster]( pulled down seven receptions for a game-high 111 yards on 10 targets in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Smith-Schuster had a must be seen to be believed reception over a Bengals defender at the one yard line. He's a strong WR2 going into his bye. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 34. [CLE - RB Carlos Hyde held in check](=) Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns RB [Carlos Hyde]( rushed for 34 yards on 14 carries against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hyde was ineffective and one has to wonder when the Browns will start giving Nick Chubb more looks. Next week against the Bucs will be a poor outlook for Hyde even if he gets the vast majority of the carries again. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 35. [PIT - RB James Conner minces up Cincinnati D]() Source: 1 No Source Pittsburgh Steelers RB [James Conner]( rushed 19 times for 111 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Week 6 win against the Cincinnati Bengals and he added four receptions for 18 yards on seven targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Conner might end up as a committee back if LeVeon Bell returns this week, but he shouldn't become a backup. He might have more value than we think after the bye and shouldn't be traded pennies on the RB1 dollar he has established. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 36. [PIT - Big Ben helps beat Cincinnati again]( Source: ESPN Stats and Information Pittsburgh Steelers QB [Ben Roethlisberger]( completed 32-of-46 passes for 369 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in the Week 6 win against the Cincinnati Bengals. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Roethlisberger was better than typical Road Ben in this one, and a better game was there if James Conner didn't get both early scores on short touchdown runs. He's an every week start after his bye next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 37. [CLE - QB Baker Mayfield throws two INTs](=) Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns QB [Baker Mayfield]( went 22-for-46 for 238 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mayfield was let down by Antonio Callaway on possible touchdowns twice, and he's entering a very easy stretch of pass defenses starting with Tampa Bay next week, so he's still a viable streamer. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 38. [LAC - WR Keenan Allen posts 103 total yards](=) Source: NFL.com Los Angeles Chargers WR [Keenan Allen]( caught four passes for 62 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. He also rushed for 41 yards on four carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Allen hasn't had his week-tilting game yet, but Philip Rivers only threw the ball 20 times. Stick with him against the Titans next week and don't sell low. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 39. [LAC - WR Tyrell Williams accounts for two TDs](=) Source: NFL.com Los Angeles Chargers WR [Tyrell Williams]( caught three passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Williams came down with one score in triple coverage and left a mark on the Browns defense in this one. With this kind of ceiling and the deep passing game getting into focus, Williams will be worth a what the heck flex start against Tennessee. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 40. [WAS - RB Adrian Peterson just misses 100 yards]( Source: 1 No Source Washington Redskins RB [Adrian Peterson]( (ankle, knee, shoulder) not only played in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, but he played well with 97 rushing yards on 17 carries. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Peterson gave Washington everything he had despite his multiple injuries. He's still worth an RB2 start against Dallas, especially with Chris Thompson banged up. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 41. [WAS - QB Alex Smith tosses two TDs in home win]( Source: 1 No Source Washington Redskins QB [Alex Smith]( completed 21-of-36 passes for 163 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 6 win against the Carolina Panthers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Smith did well in a conservative game plan and did a lot of his damage on throws to Vernon Davis and Paul Richardson. He's a low ceiling/high floor play going against Dallas next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 42. [LAC - QB Philip Rivers throws two TDs](=) Source: NFL.com Los Angeles Chargers QB [Philip Rivers]( went 11-for-20 for 207 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rivers did about as much as you could hold on only 20 attempts, thanks mostly to Tyrell Williams. He'll be a safe QB1 against Tennessee next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 43. [CAR - WR D.J. Moore targeted five times]( Source: 1 No Source Carolina Panthers WR [D.J. Moore]( posted four receptions for 59 yards on five targets in Week 6 against the Washington Redskins, but he also lost a pair of fumbles. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Moore's involvement is increasing, but so are his mistakes. He's worth a bench stash in longer bench leagues, but isn't ready for lineups yet. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 44. [CAR - WR Devin Funchess posts 74 yards, TD]( Source: 1 No Source Carolina Panthers WR [Devin Funchess]( racked up five receptions for a game-high 74 yards on eight targets in Week 6 against the Washington Redskins. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Funchess had one of the strongest plays on the ball in flight on his career and still looked like a #1 in a suddenly crowded passing game. He'll be worth a WR3/Flex start against the Eagles next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 45. [CAR - RB Christian McCaffrey goes nowhere on ground]( Source: 1 No Source Carolina Panthers RB [Christian McCaffrey]( rushed eight times for 20 yards in Week 6 against the Washington Redskins while adding seven grabs for 46 yards on eight targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McCaffrey salvaged a contribution in PPR leagues with his receptions as the Panthers were on the comeback trail, but still had to deal with a deeper group of targets splitting up the passing pie. He'll be more of an RB2 than RB1 against the Eagles next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 46. [CAR - QB Cam Newton comes up short in D.C.]( Source: 1 No Source Carolina Panthers QB [Cam Newton]( completed 27-of-40 passes for 275 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Week 6 against the Washington Redskins and he rushed for a team-best 43 yards on nine carries while also completing a pass for a two-point conversion. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Newton had a solid passing day with the return of Greg Olsen and a deep wide receiver corps, but couldn't get the Panthers over the hump at Washington. He'll face a vulnerable Eagles secondary next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
