  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Two TDs in win over Philly

    Tremble caught all four targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Eagles.

    Tremble played 54 snaps to Mitchell Evans' 43 and Darren Waller's 36, and it was Tremble who ran the most routes of the trio. His touchdowns were both of the red-zone variety, scoring from 12 and 19 yards. The tight end entered Sunday with 11 catches for 82 yards on 15 targets, so he's not worth chasing in fantasy ahead of next Sunday's date with the Bucs.

  • Germie Bernard WR | PIT

    Steelers' Germie Bernard: Catches game-winning TD in Week 6

    Bernard caught 11 of 12 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Bucs.

    With Michael Pittman (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) out for the Steelers, Bernard was the clear WR2 behind DK Metcalf and actually ran a team-high 54 routes on Aaron Rodgers' 56 dropbacks. Metcalf edged Bernard out in targets 15 to 12, while both players caught 11 passes. Pittman and Wilson are both required to miss at least two and three more games respectively, so Bernard is locked into an every-down role for the immediate future. Rodgers has sung the rookie wideout's praises early on this season, and it's reasonable to expect Bernard to remain a key part of the passing offense moving forward. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats.

  • Chiefs' Kenneth Walker: Another 100-yard effort

    Walker ripped off 128 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries and added two catches (on three targets) for 11 yards during Sunday's 22-6 win against the Chargers.

    Following the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, Walker continued his early-season momentum with his new team, surpassing 100 yards on the ground for the fourth time in five games in a different uniform than the Seahawks. He now boasts 133.0 rushing yards per game, which prorated over a 17-game slate (2,261) would easily go past Eric Dickerson's NFL record 2,105 from the 1984 campaign and also mark the 10th 2,000-yard season in the history of the league. Walker's next chance to strike occurs next Sunday when he visits his former teammates in Seattle.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Finds end zone in Week 6 win

    Olave caught four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

    While he didn't see his usual volume on an afternoon in which Tyler Shough threw for only 144 yards, Olave was on the other end of one of the QB's three scores, hauling in an 18-yard TD early in the fourth quarter that proved to be crucial after the Giants staged a late, but unsuccessful, rally. Olave got double-digit targets in each of the first four games of the season, but over the last two contests he's been targeted just 13 times, posting an 8-89-1 line. He'll look to regain some steam in Paris for a Week 7 matchup against the Steelers.

  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Goes 5-97-2 in Week 6 defeat

    Tucker caught five of seven targets for 97 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Bills.

    With Brock Bowers clamped in coverage for much of the afternoon until the second half, it was Tucker who ended up leading the Raiders in receiving, while he also secured both of Kirk Cousins' touchdown passes via 11- and 44-yard scores. It was Tucker's second ceiling game in the first six weeks after he went 5-119-1 on seven targets in Week 2 against the Chargers. Tucker has been held under 50 yards with no touchdowns in Las Vegas' other four contests. He's a boom-or-bust type of fantasy player whose boom games are very difficult to pinpoint.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Outplays Allgeier in Love's absence

    Knight rushed 15 times for 80 yards and caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams.

    Knight got an extended opportunity in the absence of Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and was far more efficient than Tyler Allgeier, who mustered just 38 rushing yards on 18 rushing attempts. Love figures to reclaim the lead role in Arizona's backfield upon his return, which could come as soon as Week 7 against the Broncos, but Knight could get a sizable workload should Love remain sidelined. Prior to Sunday's win, Knight had just three carries and no targets all season.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Beats Rams despite dearth of TDs

    Brissett completed 24 of 35 passes for 218 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams. He also rushed twice for two yards.

    Brissett was held without a touchdown pass for the first time this season, but he did enough to lead the Cardinals into field-goal range six times, and Arizona's defense and special teams delivered an inspired performance to pull off an unlikely road win over the NFC West rival Rams. Both of Brissett's wins this season have come at SoFi Stadium, as he also defeated the Chargers in LA in Arizona's regular-season opener. Brissett will try to notch his first home win of the season in Week 7 against the Broncos while attempting to improve his 9:6 TD:INT through six games.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Does little with 19 touches

    Allgeier rushed 18 times for 38 yards and caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams.

    Allgeier racked up 19 touches in the absence of Jeremiyah Love (ankle), but the former struggled to find running room and was outplayed by third-string running back Bam Knight, who turned 17 touches into 98 yards in Arizona's unlikely victory. Allgeier's season averaged dipped below 3.0 yards per carry with Sunday's inefficient outing. Love would likely reclaim the lead role if he returns in Week 7 against the Broncos, and Knight could also earn touches at Allgeier's expense moving forward in a crowded Cardinals backfield that may also welcome James Conner (foot) back from injured reserve in the coming weeks.

  • Keenan Allen WR | IND

    Colts' Keenan Allen: Paces Indy in receiving Sunday

    Allen caught eight of 11 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Titans.

    With tight end Tyler Warren (groin) inactive, Allen became the preferred option for Daniel Jones when he needed to move the chains, and the veteran wideout led the Colts in catches, targets and receiving yards while setting personal season highs in all three categories. Mo Alie-Cox was on the other end of Jones' only TD pass, however. Allen will take a 26-227-1 line on 40 targets into a Week 7 clash with the Vikings.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Four catches in first game after MHJ trade

    Wilson caught four of seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams.

    Wilson finished third on the team in catches, targets and receiving yards, trailing Trey McBride and Kendrick Bourne in all three categories in Arizona's first game since trading Marvin Harrison to Houston. Bourne seems to be the biggest beneficiary of Harrison's departure, as he tied his season high with eight targets and had five catches for 47 yards Sunday, while Wilson has been limited to seven targets in both of the games Arizona has played without Harrison. Wilson should continue to work as a key target for Jacoby Brissett when the Cardinals host the Broncos in Week 7.
