Nix completed 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed four times for two yards in the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday. He also recovered a fumble.

Nix continued his season-long trend of sticking to mostly short-area passes, leading to a season-low passing yardage figure and average of 4.0 yards per attempt. The third-year signal-caller did reverse a trend of three straight games with sub-60.0 percent completion rates, but Nix also failed to throw a touchdown for the first time all season. Denver's defense did most of the heavy lifting and both of the Broncos' touchdowns came on the ground, while Nix now has three sub-200-yard passing efforts in the last four contests. The Oregon product should have a good chance of boosting his numbers in Week 7, however, as the Broncos visit the defensively challenged Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Curl was limited in practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The fact Curl showed up on the injury report midweek may be indicative of a health concern that happened in practice. In any case, the status of the Rams' starting strong safety will be monitored to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals.

Sigle (ankle) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

After Sigle suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 4, head coach Kyle Shanahan said that the second-year pro was slated to miss multiple weeks. With one absence under his belt so far and no practice reps to begin Week 6 prep, he appears to be trending toward another DNP on Monday versus the Commanders. The 49ers can confirm as much when they post their final injury report of the week Saturday.

Bosa (knee/calf) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Despite having an extra day of rest between Week 5 action and the start of Week 6 prep, Bosa has yet to mix into drills since Week 2, missing the last three games in the process due to knee and calf injuries. If he isn't able to practice Friday and/or Saturday, he likely isn't a candidate to suit up Monday against the Commanders.

Epps (groin) practiced fully Thursday.

Epps was held out of Weeks 4 and 5 due to a groin injury, but with a full practice under his belt, he's poised to regain his standing as the Eagles' starting strong safety Sunday against the Panthers. Prior to the recent absence, he tallied 14 tackles in the first three games of the campaign.

Darnold completed 27 of 51 passes for 278 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed twice for 19 yards in the Seahawks' 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Darnold's final passing yardage total appears perfectly acceptable from a fantasy standpoint, but the veteran quarterback couldn't produce anywhere near enough scoring and also committed a pair of critical turnovers. While Darnold's first interception didn't lead to any points, it came at the Broncos' 31-yard line with 1:31 remaining and could have cost Seattle the game had the Seahawks not gotten another opportunity with the ball by subsequently forcing a three-and-out from Denver. Darnold's second pick did ultimately lead to the loss, as it came on the first drive of overtime at the Seahawks' 43-yard line to set the Broncos up on the edge of field-goal range. Darnold's yardage total was his second highest of the season, but he's been much more mistake-prone while throwing seven interceptions, half his 2025 total. Darnold may have a tough time atoning in Week 7 as well, as the Chiefs will pay a visit for a Sunday night showdown on Oct. 25.

Wilson rushed 14 times for 52 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Seahawks' 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday.

Wilson had 12 of his 14 carries in regulation while once again serving as the Seahawks' lead back, and he averaged under 4.0 yards per carry for the fourth straight game. Wilson was held without a catch for the first time in three contests, however, capping his overall fantasy production in the low-soring defeat. Zach Charbonnet (knee) has been back at practice for the last two weeks and must be activated from the PUP list by next Thursday to avoid having to miss the rest of the season, so Wilson's days in a meaningful role appear to be drawing to a close.

Harvey rushed six times for 25 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 31 yards in the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday.

Harvey finished with a team-high receiving yardage total on a night when Bo Nix threw for only 107 yards, and the second-year back made key complementary contributions on the ground as well. Harvey scored his first touchdown of the season on a one-yard run with 5:15 remaining in the second quarter, while his rushing yardage total tied a season high. Harvey projects to remain in his change-of-pace role when the Broncos visit the Cardinals in a Week 7 matchup on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Dobbins rushed 17 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for five yards during the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday.

Dobbins was in the customary position of leading the Broncos' ground attack in rush attempts and rushing yards, but he averaged only 2.4 yards per carry against a stingy Seahawks front. Nevertheless, the veteran back made a trip to the end zone for the second consecutive game, going in from four yards out early in the second quarter. After averaging 4.5 yards per carry in a Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, Dobbins has hit a wall in terms of efficiency, but he'll remain the top option in the ground attack for a favorable Week 7 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Smith-Njigba brought in 12 of 16 targets for 134 yards in the Seahawks' 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday.

Despite the Broncos being down Pat Surtain (ankle) and Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks' air attack as a whole couldn't get much going through the first half-plus of play. The All-Pro receiver turned it on in the latter portion of the contest, however, and he ultimately finished with season highs in receptions and targets, along with his second-highest amount of receiving yards. JSN already has five 100-yard efforts in his first six games of the season, and his tendency to dominate Sam Darnold's attention will once again make him an elite option in all formats during a Week 7 Sunday night home showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Oct. 25.
