Dowdle carried the ball seven times for 40 yards and caught three of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.

Seeing his first action since Week 2 after recovering from a toe issue, Dowdle took a back seat to Jaylen Warren in terms of touches (16 to 10) and scrimmage yards (78 to 49). The volume was still encouraging for Dowdle given how dominant Warren had been during his absence, but the split doesn't help the fantasy value of either RB. Dowdle may need to get into the end zone to make an impact in Week 7 against the Saints in Paris.

Rodriguez rushed 11 times for 55 yards while failing to reel in his only target during Sunday's 34-31 loss to Houston.

Rodriguez led the team in rushing yards, out producing fellow running back Bhayshul Tuten's 39 yards on 12 carries. Although the two split the carries almost evenly, Tuten caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and two scores in the contest. Rodriguez has now compiled 168 yards on 39 carries while catching one pass for his yards over six contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Warren carried the ball 14 times for 50 yards and caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.

While Warren still led the Steelers' backfield, his touch volume and production took a dip as Rico Dowdle returned from a three-game absence due to a toe injury, with Dowdle turning 10 touches into 49 scrimmage yards. As long as coach Mike McCarthy insists on using a timeshare between the two, Warren will be hard-pressed to repeat the outstanding numbers he compiled while Dowdle was on the shelf. Warren will try to make a bigger impact in Week 7 against the Saints in Paris.

Gainwell rushed two times for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers. He caught his only target for seven yards.

Even with Sean Tucker (quadriceps) inactive, Gainwell didn't see any sort of increase in his offensive role, getting out-carried 19 to two by Bucky Irving, who also saw three targets. Gainwell has 122 total yards through six games and can be sent to waivers in 10- and 12-team redraft fantasy leagues.

Rodgers completed 33 of 49 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.

Down 16-3 to begin the fourth quarter, Rodgers began the comeback with a five-yard TD pass to Darnell Washington before leading the Steelers on three straight field-goal drives. The veteran QB then put together a 12-play, 70-yard drive to begin OT that was capped with a six-yard score to Germie Bernard. Rodgers has tossed multiple touchdowns in four straight games, posting an 11:4 TD:INT over that stretch and giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 7 trip to Paris to face the Saints.

Likely caught six of 11 targets for 99 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints.

The tight end came through with another big performance and connected with J.J. McCarthy on a 24-yard TD in the fourth quarter after the young QB had replaced Jameis Winston under center. It's reassuring that Likely remained involved even after the switch at quarterback, and he's seen double-digit targets in three straight games, delivering a 24-259-3 line on 36 targets as the team's No. 2 pass catcher behind Malik Nabers. Likely will look to keep rolling in Week 7 against the Texans, regardless of who is throwing him the ball.

Skattebo played only six snaps and got zero carries or targets in the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

One week after losing a key fumble in a 27-27 tie to the Commanders, Skattebo was removed from his starting job as the Giants' backfield devolved into a four-man committee. Tyrone Tracy was the team's most productive back, scoring one rushing and one receiving TD but managing just 45 scrimmage yards on eight touches, while Devin Singletary had 33 yards on five touches and Najee Harris eked out just two rushing yards on four carries. With no one really stepping up in his place, Skattebo could return to a more significant role in Week 7 against the Texans, but it will be hard to trust any New York RB in fantasy lineups until one of them emerges from the pack.

Kelce caught four of five targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 22-6 win over the Chargers.

Kelce was able to exceed two receptions for the first time since Week 2, finishing second on the team in targets and catches behind wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who caught all seven of his targets for 73 yards. Kelce has now reeled in 20 of 27 targets for 299 yards and two touchdowns over five contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Worthy totaled seven catches on as many targets for 73 yards during Sunday's 22-6 victory versus the Chargers.

Worthy served as the Chiefs' No. 1 WR in Week 6 with Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) on the pine, and the former paced the team in all receiving categories on an afternoon in which QB Patrick Mahomes didn't record a touchdown pass. There are bound to be weeks like Sunday in which a ground game led by RB Kenneth Walker keeps Kansas City's offense humming along, but if Rice continues to miss time, Worthy figures to be among the team's leading pass catchers on a weekly basis.

Winters (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Green Bay, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Winters suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, and his availability for the rest of the game is now up in the air. The linebacker has already recorded a pick-six Sunday night, and in his absence, Shemar James will stand to see an increase in workload at inside linebacker.
