Croskey-Merritt rushed 17 times for 61 yards and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

The rookie seventh-round pick was coming off a career-best performance Week 5 against the Chargers, but he surprisingly found tough sledding on the ground against a Bears defense that has struggled to contain the run. Croskey-Merritt's late-first-quarter fumble also was costly, as he lost the ball at his own 33-yard line and saw the Bears score a touchdown on a Caleb Williams one-yard run five plays later. Despite the miscue, Croskey-Merritt remained the clear lead option in the ground attack, as No. 2 back Jeremy McNichols recorded just two carries. Croskey-Merritt's outlook for Week 7 remains bright, as a road matchup with the porous Cowboys defense is on tap Sunday.

Daniels completed 19 of 26 passes for 211 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday night. He also rushed 10 times for 52 yards and committed two fumbles, losing one and recovering the other.

As his collection of numbers indicates, it was a mixed bag of a night for Daniels in his second game back from a knee sprain that cost him a pair of contests. The second-year signal-caller threw a season-high three touchdown passes, connecting with Chris Moore (22 yards), Luke McCaffrey (33 yards) and Zach Ertz (six yards) to erase 13-0 and 16-10 deficits. However, Daniels' first-quarter interception, his first of the season, led to a Bears field goal, and his fumble at Chicago's 45-yard line on an attempted handoff to Jacory Croskey-Merritt with 3:10 remaining and Washington clinging to a two-point lead would eventually result in a game-winning field goal by opposing kicker Jake Moody. Daniels also took three sacks, and this was his first multi-turnover tally of the season. The star quarterback and his teammates don't have time to dwell on the last-second defeat, however, as a road date with the arch-rival Cowboys awaits Sunday afternoon.

Moody went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try Monday in a 25-24 win over Washington.

Moody made his Bears debut as a result of Cairo Santos being inactive due to a thigh injury. Moody instilled confidence with his first field-goal try, a successful 47-yarder early in the first quarter. The former 49er then hit a 48-yarder and a 41-yarder before having another 48-yard try blocked at the start of the fourth period. However, Moody was able to conclude a successful team debut by nailing a 38-yard field goal as time expired to give Chicago a one-point win. Whether or not he kicks again in Week 7 versus New Orleans likely depends on Santos' health and ability to suit up.

Spillane recorded 11 total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.

Spillane was able to reach double-digit stops for the third time this season, all of which have come over the last four contests. The linebacker has now compiled 51 total tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, and a forced fumble over six games this year.

Swift rushed 14 times for 108 yards while catching two of three targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.

Swift broke out in a big way on Monday Night Football when he posted his first 100-yard game of the season. The 26-year-old also scored his first receiving touchdown of 2025 when he converted a short reception into a 55-yard trip to the end zone. Swift had been providing fantasy managers with a solid floor over his first four appearances this year, but he looked recharged coming out of Chicago's bye week. Swift will attempt to carry the momentum from his best outing to date into Sunday's tilt against New Orleans.

Henley tallied seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 29-27 victory versus Miami.

Henley's seven tackles paced the Chargers in the narrow victory. The third-year linebacker has been quite consistent this season, notching between seven and 10 stops in five of his six games so far. Overall, Henley has registered 46 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, along with two pass defenses (including an interception).

Gay went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Monday night's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

Gay hit the left upright on a 50-yard field-goal try in the second quarter, missing his first kick since Week 3. The kicker later added a make from 53 yards to finish off the Commanders' first drive of the second half. Gay has gone 10-for-14 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 16 of his extra-point tries over six games this year.

James notched five tackles (one solo) and an interception Sunday in a 29-27 win over the Dolphins.

James' pickoff came on the final play of the game when Tua Tagovailoa attempted to complete a desperation pass. The interception was James' first of the season. The veteran safety has now recorded at least one pickoff in five consecutive campaigns.

Allgeier carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for six yards in Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills.

Allgeier got involved in the box score early with a 21-yard touchdown scamper on Atlanta's opening possession. The talented backup then took a back seat to starter Bijan Robinson, who ripped apart Buffalo's defense to the tune of 238 yards from scrimmage and a score of his own. Allgeier has generated some flex appeal after hitting pay dirt thrice over his last four appearances. There is a four-yard dud nestled in between, so fantasy managers should also be aware of Allgeier's drastic floor ahead of Sunday's tilt against San Francisco.

London corralled 10 of 16 targets for 158 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-14 win over Buffalo.

It was the Bijan Robinson and Drake London Show on Monday Night Football after the two budding superstars accounted for 396 of Atlanta's 443 yards of offense. The 23-year-old London didn't cool off over his team's Week 5 bye, bookending the break with a pair of 100-plus yard games with a touchdown scored in each. He actually finished the contest as the only wide receiver to record a catch for Atlanta, highlighting his status as QB Michael Penix's unquestioned No. 1 target. A red-hot London will set his sights on a battered 49ers defense Week 7.
