Williams rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Williams got the Cowboys on the board with a one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. That was his seventh rushing score and eighth total touchdown through six games this season. Dallas trailed by double digits the entire second half, which explains Williams' season-low carry total. His frequent trips to the end zone have made up for a lack of efficiency, as Williams is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry after notching a career-best 4.8 YPC in 2025. Williams mustered 3.6 YPC in 2023 and 3.7 YPC in 2024 with the Broncos, so his first year in Dallas is starting to look like an outlier in that regard, though he should remain an effective fantasy option as long as he's locked into a three-down role with the Cowboys. He's likely to get more rushing opportunities in Week 7, as the Cowboys are unlikely to fall into a deep hole against an injury-riddled Eagles team on a four-game losing streak.

Prescott completed 34 of 54 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Packers. He also rushed twice for seven yards.

Prescott threw for just 86 yards with two interceptions in the first half, and the Cowboys took a 17-0 deficit into the locker room. He was only moderately more effective in the second half as Dallas looked out of sorts offensively for a second consecutive game in primetime. Prescott's lone touchdown pass was a six-yarder to Ryan Flournoy in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Dallas dropped to 2-4 with Sunday night's loss, and Dak has an ugly 4:4 TD:INT over his last four starts after posting a 6:1 mark through Week 2. Prescott will try to snap a two-game losing streak in Week 7 on MNF against the Eagles, who have dropped four straight.

Pickens caught six of 11 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Pickens caught his only first-half target for 16 yards. He was much busier in the second half and ended up edging out CeeDee Lamb by three receiving yards for the team lead, though Lamb led the Cowboys with nine catches on 18 targets. Pickens has picked up the pace following a slow start, notching at least 73 receiving yards in four consecutive games after posting just 68 yards in Weeks 1 and 2 combined. After scoring a career-high nine touchdowns in 2025, he's still stuck on one TD heading into a Week 7 road game against the slumping Eagles.

Lloyd rushed eight times for 10 yards while failing to catch his only target during Sunday night's 23-13 win over Dallas.

Lloyd was rather inefficient in Week 6, averaging 1.3 yards per carry while logging three fewer carries than fellow running back Pierre Strong (11). Lloyd was briefly sidelined by an undisclosed injury during the contest, but his ability to finish the game would suggest that whatever he was dealing with is minor. With Josh Jacobs (personal) expected to be removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List on Monday, Lloyd will likely transition into a complementary role behind Jacobs in the backfield moving forward.

Flournoy caught seven of nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Flournoy has emerged as the clear third option in the passing game for Dallas, knocking an underperforming Jake Ferguson down the target totem pole. Flournoy's nine targets trailed CeeDee Lamb's 18 and George Pickens' 11 on a night where Dak Prescott attempted 54 passes. Flournoy found the end zone late with a six-yard score, and he's now posted 23 catches for 234 yards and one score on 36 targets through six games. He's an elite bench stash in the event something happens to Lamb or Pickens.

Watson caught three of eight targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Cowboys.

Watson was held without a touchdown for only the second time this season while tying tight end Tucker Kraft for second on the team in targets, five behind Matthew Golden. The wide receiver duo of Golden and Watson has accounted for the majority of Green Bay's offensive production this season. Watson needs just 82 receiving yards to match his career high of 620, which the oft-injured wideout set during the 2024 regular season. He'll have a nice opportunity to reach that mark in Week 7 against a Lions defense that has struggled in coverage.

Golden caught six of 13 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Cowboys.

Golden reached 100 receiving yards for the second consecutive game and third time overall this season. He capped the opening drive with a nine-yard touchdown catch, which gives the 2025 first-round pick three receiving touchdowns in his last four games after Golden began his career with a 16-game regular-season touchdown drought. Golden would have had an even bigger game if not for a pair of near-misses in the second quarter on a deep ball and an end-zone pass that were both in his hands before falling incomplete. Heading into a Week 7 matchup with Detroit's weak secondary, Golden has drawn a team-high 57 targets from Jordan Love, which is nine more than Christian Watson.

Ferguson caught two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday night's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Ferguson matched his season low with two catches, and he has now been held to 23 or fewer yards in five of six contests to open the season. The tight end hasn't found the end zone since Week 3, and through six games, he's caught 17 of 24 targets for 115 yards and three scores. Ferguson reeled in a career-high 82 passes over 17 regular-season contests in 2025, and he has some work to do to return to that form in 2026.

Love completed 23 of 41 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Cowboys. He also rushed twice for 14 yards and a touchdown.

Love started hot, throwing for 109 yards on the opening drive while making up for some offensive penalties before eventually tossing a nine-yard touchdown pass to Matthew Golden. Love was picked off on the next possession, and Golden just brushed the Dallas defender on the way to the ground to prevent what would otherwise have been a pick-six. The Packers intercepted Dak Prescott on the ensuing drive and never looked back, pulling away for a convincing win to improve to 4-2. Love was held to a single touchdown pass for the first time this season after five consecutive two-touchdown performances through the air, but he got his customary second touchdown on the ground with a one-yard rushing score that gave the Packers a 17-0 lead just before halftime. After coming 24 yards short of his fourth 300-yard passing performance, Love is well positioned to post big numbers through the air again in Week 7 against Detroit's vulnerable secondary.

Strong rushed 11 times for 28 yards in Sunday night's 23-13 win over the Cowboys. He caught five of six targets for 39 yards.

Strong led the backfield in carries and out-targeted MarShawn Lloyd six to one. The Packers still couldn't run the ball effectively, but Josh Jacobs is due back from the Commissioner's Exempt list in time for next Sunday's game against the Lions, making all three of Strong, Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson waiver-wire material in fantasy moving forward. Strong has turned 16 carries into just 35 yards through two games, but he's secured eight of 10 targets for 50 yards.
