  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: Limited workload in loss

    Robinson rushed once for one yard while reeling in both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Bears.

    Robinson registered his fewest touches in a game this season, but his two catches did match his season high from Week 2 versus Carolina. Robinson has now compiled 211 yards and four touchdowns on 42 carries while catching five of six targets for 30 yards over six contests this season. The running back is purely a top-notch safety blanket for fantasy managers who have Bijan Robinson on their roster.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Two touches in win

    Spears rushed once for one yard while reeling in his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 26-20 win over Indianapolis.

    Spears was dealing with a knee injury throughout the week before ultimately being active in Week 6. The running back registered a season-low two touches in the contest, and he has now compiled 13 rushing yards on eight carries over the last four games combined. Spears will continue to be an unappealing fantasy option as a long as starting running back Tony Pollard is available for Tennessee.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Quiet in OT loss to Pittsburgh

    Irving carried the ball 19 times for 46 yards and caught two of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers.

    It's the first time this season Irving's failed to reach 50 scrimmage yards in a game, and his longest gain went for just 13 yards. The third-year back remains the top option in the Tampa Bay backfield, however, as Kenny Gainwell saw only three touches in Sunday's loss. Irving will look to bounce back in Week 7 against the Panthers.

  • Raiders' Mike Washington: Leads team in rushing in loss

    Washington rushed nine times for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Bills. He added one catch for seven yards on one target.

    After touching the ball just two times in Week 5 against New England, Washington ended up leading the Raiders in rushing against Buffalo. His nine carries were just one fewer than Ashton Jeanty, though Jeanty remained a fixture in the passing game, seeing six targets. Washington remains one of the better fantasy bench stashes, as Jeanty continues to play at less than 100 percent health.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | PIT

    Steelers' Rico Dowdle: Ten touches in return to lineup

    Dowdle carried the ball seven times for 40 yards and caught three of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.

    Seeing his first action since Week 2 after recovering from a toe issue, Dowdle took a back seat to Jaylen Warren in terms of touches (16 to 10) and scrimmage yards (78 to 49). The volume was still encouraging for Dowdle given how dominant Warren had been during his absence, but the split doesn't help the fantasy value of either RB. Dowdle may need to get into the end zone to make an impact in Week 7 against the Saints in Paris.

  • Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Logs 11 carries in loss

    Rodriguez rushed 11 times for 55 yards while failing to reel in his only target during Sunday's 34-31 loss to Houston.

    Rodriguez led the team in rushing yards, out producing fellow running back Bhayshul Tuten's 39 yards on 12 carries. Although the two split the carries almost evenly, Tuten caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and two scores in the contest. Rodriguez has now compiled 168 yards on 39 carries while catching one pass for his yards over six contests to open the 2026 campaign.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Workload shrinks in Dowdle's return

    Warren carried the ball 14 times for 50 yards and caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.

    While Warren still led the Steelers' backfield, his touch volume and production took a dip as Rico Dowdle returned from a three-game absence due to a toe injury, with Dowdle turning 10 touches into 49 scrimmage yards. As long as coach Mike McCarthy insists on using a timeshare between the two, Warren will be hard-pressed to repeat the outstanding numbers he compiled while Dowdle was on the shelf. Warren will try to make a bigger impact in Week 7 against the Saints in Paris.

  • Buccaneers' Kenny Gainwell: Handles three touches in loss

    Gainwell rushed two times for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers. He caught his only target for seven yards.

    Even with Sean Tucker (quadriceps) inactive, Gainwell didn't see any sort of increase in his offensive role, getting out-carried 19 to two by Bucky Irving, who also saw three targets. Gainwell has 122 total yards through six games and can be sent to waivers in 10- and 12-team redraft fantasy leagues.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Zero touches in Week 6 loss

    Skattebo played only six snaps and got zero carries or targets in the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    One week after losing a key fumble in a 27-27 tie to the Commanders, Skattebo was removed from his starting job as the Giants' backfield devolved into a four-man committee. Tyrone Tracy was the team's most productive back, scoring one rushing and one receiving TD but managing just 45 scrimmage yards on eight touches, while Devin Singletary had 33 yards on five touches and Najee Harris eked out just two rushing yards on four carries. With no one really stepping up in his place, Skattebo could return to a more significant role in Week 7 against the Texans, but it will be hard to trust any New York RB in fantasy lineups until one of them emerges from the pack.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Finds end zone in win over Jags

    Jordan rushed six times for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars. He added one catch for seven yards on one target.

    With David Montgomery (groin) out, Jordan was called up from the practice squad for Sunday's game and logged 14 offensive snaps behind Woody Marks' 49 out of the backfield. Jordan's big play was a 25-yard touchdown scamper in the third quarter that gave Houston a 31-21 lead. Montgomery is considered week-to-week, so Jordan could again play a significant role behind Marks next Sunday against the Giants.
