  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Multiple TDs in close win

    Jones completed 22 of 30 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding five carries for 20 yards and another score in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Jones put together another efficient performance that's become par for the course for him in the Colts' scheme. Jones eclipsed the 70.0 percent completion threshold for the fourth time overall in the first six games, and the veteran signal-caller also tossed a pair of touchdown for the second consecutive contest by connecting with Tyler Warren and Josh Downs from eight and five yards out, respectively. Jones added a three-yard scoring rush just before the halfway point of the second quarter, his fourth touchdown on the ground already. Jones will remain a highly coveted option in all formats for a Week 7 road showdown against the Chargers that could develop into a high-scoring affair.

  • Josh Simmons OT | KC

    Chiefs' Josh Simmons: Officially out for SNF

    Simmons (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Simmons will not play in Sunday night's game as he is attending to a personal matter. Jaylon Moore is slated to start at left tackle in Simmons' absence.

  • Titans' Oluwafemi Oladejo: Exits game with calf injury

    Oladejo is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a right calf injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Oladejo is being evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. The Titans are already without Arden Key (quadriceps), so Jihad Ward and Jaylen Harrell should see more snaps at outside linebacker opposite Dre'Mont Jones for as long as Oladejo is out of the game. Oladejo logged three tackles (two solo), including two for a loss, prior to his injury.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Remains busy in Week 6 loss

    Waddle secured six of eight targets for 95 yards in the Dolphins' 29-27 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also completed an eight-yard pass attempt.

    Waddle fell just short of his second consecutive 100-yard effort, but he still led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The 2021 first-round pick has unsurprisingly seen an uptick in involvement during the first two full games Miami has played without Tyreek Hill (IR, knee), posting a combined 12-205-1 receiving line on 17 targets in that pair of contests. Waddle's clear-cut No. 1 receiver role should persist in a Week 7 road matchup against a talented Browns defense.

  • Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Stymied in Week 6 loss

    Etienne rushed 12 times for 27 yards and brought in four of five targets for 28 yards in the Jaguars' 20-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Etienne was absolutely stonewalled on the ground by a talented Seahawks front seven, although he was able to partly atone for the shortfall with a solid day through the air that saw him post new season highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The fifth-year back now has back-to-back 12-carry tallies after opening the season with at least 14 rush attempts in each of the first four games, but he remains the Jaguars' unquestioned No. 1 back and next faces a Rams defense that was gashed by the Ravens' Derrick Henry in Week 6.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Won't return Sunday

    Ridley (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Ridley thus ends his day with one catch (on one target) for 18 yards, while Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson will handle the Titans' WR duties in his absence for the remainder of the contest. Ridley's next chance to see game action will arrive Oct. 19 against the Patriots.

  • Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Leaves game with back injury

    Hendrickson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers due to a back injury.

    Hendrickson appeared to sustain the injury during the second quarter and was taken to the locker room by trainers shortly before halftime. With Shemar Stewart (ankle) inactive, Cameron Sample and Myles Murphy are poised to see more snaps at defensive end for as long as Hendrickson is out of the game.

  • Tyler Warren TE | IND

    Colts' Tyler Warren: Paces air attack in win

    Warren secured six of nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Warren tied Josh Downs for the team lead in receptions and led the way in both receiving yards and targets on an afternoon where he also recorded his second touchdown grab of the season. Warren found the end zone from eight yards out to cap off the opening possession of the game, and he tallied his fifth catch of 20-plus yards this season earlier in the drive with a 23-yard reception. The rookie tight end will continue to serve as a focal point of the offense during a Week 7 marquee road matchup against the Chargers.

  • Travis Vokolek TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Travis Vokolek: Released from hospital

    Vokolek (neck/concussion) was released from a local hospital following the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Vokolek was carted off the field after suffering a neck injury while on kickoff coverage during Sunday's game. He was also diagnosed with a concussion after being taken to a local hospital, but the third-year tight end was cleared to fly back to Arizona with the team. Vokolek faces an uphill battle to be available for the Cardinals' Week 7 contest against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 19.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Excellent in defeat

    Prescott completed 25 of 34 passes for 261 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers. He also rushed twice for minus-1 yard and fumbled once but recovered.

    Prescott continued his excellent season, throwing for three or more touchdowns in his third straight game while also surpassing 250 passing yards for the fourth time in six contests on the campaign. He showed an ongoing strong connection with George Pickens, connecting with him for three gains of more than 30 yards, including scores from 45 and 34 yards away. Prescott's outlook could improve further in Week 7 due to the potential return of CeeDee Lamb (ankle), though Prescott has proven plenty capable of producing without one of his star pass catchers.
