  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Scores first TD in elevated role

    Tucker took six carries for 25 yards and a touchdown and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 30-19 win over San Francisco.

    Tucker made his mark on the box score when he took a nine-yard scamper for an easy touchdown in Sunday's victory. Rachaad White (17-6-1) made the most of Bucky Irving's (foot/shoulder) second missed game of the season, producing the superior fantasy line in the process. Even if Irving remains sidelined in Week 7, Tucker won't check in any higher than second on Tampa Bay's depth chart against the Lions next Monday.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Stymied on ground in win

    Charbonnet rushed 12 times for 24 yards and brought in his only target for 13 yards in the Seahawks' 20-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    As made clear by his rushing line, Charbonnet found virtually no running room against a talented Jaguars front seven, and he actually gained 10 fewer rushing yards on two more carries than backfield mate Kenneth Walker. Sunday marked Charbonnet's fourth game with a sub-4.0-yards-per-carry figure this season, so outside of his occasional rushing touchdowns, the third-year back's fantasy outlook remains stagnant heading into a tough Week 7 home matchup against the Texans on Monday night, Oct. 20.

  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Perfect as fill-in starter

    Havrisik went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 27-18 win over Cincinnati.

    Havrisik was tasked with filling in for Brandon McManus (quadriceps) in Week 6, making field goals from 43 and 39 yards in the victory. The kicker certainly showed enough to garner another opportunity in Week 7 if McManus remains unavailable.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Narrowly leads Steelers' backfield

    Warren rushed the ball 11 times for 52 yards in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns. He added two receptions on two targets for 11 yards.

    Warren returned from a one-game absence caused by a knee injury with his role in question due to competition from Kenneth Gainwell. Warren comfortably led the team with 11 carries, though he gave up a considerable amount of work to Gainwell in the receiving game. He was efficient with his work, but Warren appears to be the leader of a committee in Pittsburgh rather than a true lead back for the time being.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes both FGAs in win

    Carlson went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.

    Carlson hit a 50-yard field goal in the first quarter and later added a chip-shot 29-yarder in the fourth quarter. The kicker has now gone 11-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all eight of his extra-point attempts over six games this season.

  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Paces team in receptions Sunday

    Otton had five receptions on six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 30-19 win over the 49ers.

    Otton paced the Buccaneers in targets and receptions while finishing with his second-highest yardage total of the season. Part of the reason the tight end was featured so prominently Sunday was the early departure of star rookie Emeka Egbuka. Otton remained scoreless through six starts, but he is getting involved downfield more often as Tampa Bay deals with injuries at the wideout position. Otton will look to build a hot streak with another strong showing against the Lions next Monday.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: First TD as Seahawk

    Kupp secured two of three targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 20-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Kupp got into the end zone for the first time as a member of the Seahawks, recording an 11-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter. The veteran wideout remains a distant No. 2 in the offense's pecking order behind No. 1 receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had another prolific afternoon Sunday and has logged 56 targets to Kupp's 32. Kupp has now been under 60 receiving yards for four straight games heading into a challenging Week 7 home matchup against the Texans on Monday night, Oct. 20.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Limited production in loss

    Judkins rushed the ball 12 times for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers. He did not catch his only target.

    The Browns fell behind early in the game and took to the air 52 times in a comeback effort. That limited Judkins' opportunity, and he also lost out on touches to Jerome Ford as a pass catcher. Judkins also suffered from an efficiency perspective, with his longest gain of the day going for only six yards. The Browns should be in a more neutral game script in Week 7 against Miami, so Judkins is likely to be in for a bounce-back performance.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Gains 51 yards Sunday

    Shepard had two receptions on three targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 30-19 win over the 49ers.

    Shepard was elevated to second on the receiver depth chart after Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) were ruled out for Sunday's tilt. Things could have opened up more for the veteran after Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) left the contest early, but it was fellow wideouts Kameron Johnson and Tez Johnson who cashed in a pair of Baker Mayfield passing touchdowns Sunday. While things didn't pan out for Shepard in Week 6 (given his elevated opportunities), Egbuka's potential absence moving forward means that Shepard is worth holding for next Monday's tilt against the Lions.

  • Jake Tonges TE | SF

    49ers' Jake Tonges: Strong PPR effort Sunday

    Tonges corralled six of seven targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Tonges continued doing his best George Kittle (hamstring) impression in another effective spot-start Sunday. The 25-year-old Tonges has been a pleasant surprise in fantasy during his brief run as the starter, posting a 25-223-3 receiving line through six games. David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reported that Kittle could return from injured reserve in Week 7, which would effectively end Tonges' run of utility. Managers should wait until Kittle is officially activated before making any rash decisions regarding Tonges in Week 7 and onward.
