Colts | Colts sticking with Daniel Jones as starter after two-INT loss: 'He's got to play better' Sun Oct 18, 07:05 PM
Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed after Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Titans that QB Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback. "I think he knows he's got to play better," Steichen said. Jones went 22-of-42 for 269 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, including one in the red zone, and now has six interceptions to three touchdowns this season as the Colts fell to 2-4.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Stephen Holder notes, Jones hasn't come close to matching the run he had at the start of last season, which was the basis for the Colts giving him a new deal following his ruptured Achilles in December. Jones had two more interceptions Sunday, tying for the NFL lead with nine turnovers (he has three lost fumbles to go with the INTs). The turnovers are undermining offensive consistency, which has been a challenge in itself. With Anthony Richardson Sr. the next man up, it appears the Colts are willing to weather more inconsistency from Jones. |

Los Angeles Rams TE Colby Parkinson caught 5 passes for 31 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 3.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.6.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson had seven carries and played 16 offensive snaps in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets after being listed as questionable with an ankle injury. Henderson told reporters it was "by Tuesday or Wednesday" that he thought he could play this weekend.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo finished with zero carries in Sunday's loss to the Saints, but head coach John Harbaugh said Skattebo wasn't benched and that the lack of carries wasn't by design. Harbaugh said no one has stepped up in the running back room and that he is trying to figure out who "the guy" is. When pressed on the topic, Harbaugh said, "I don't know what else to say. That's the best answer you can ever get on that in 1,000 years... If you're not thrilled with that answer, I got nothing else for you, honestly."
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh is trying to be tactful in the media, but there's zero chance that Skattebo not appearing in the box score was accidental. Najee Harris was unimpressive as the starter and Tyrone Tracy can't do everything, but Skattebo is unlikely to get back to the clear lead back role he had to open the season. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues heading into a matchup with the Texans. |

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs with a concussion. McConkey had been evaluated for a head injury earlier in the game.
| Footballguys view: It seems like it is always going to be something with McConkey and durability, which was the one real concern about his translation to the NFL when he was in the the 2024 NFL draft class and was selected early in the second round by the Chargers. The Chargers have a bye next week, so hopefully he'll be back for Week 8 with a chance to find his form once the Chargers are through the rough Week 4-10 stretch the schedulemakers put together for this beleaguered team. |

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game at the Chiefs. McConkey had been limited in practice on Wednesday with a foot injury but carried no injury designation for the game.

Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. made an early trip to the injury tent during Sunday's loss to the Bears. A smiling Penix declined to explain the visit afterward: "I did go into the injury tent. I'm not going to say what that was about. Just say I am good."
| Footballguys view: Penix was injured a week ago when he left Sunday night with a rib injury. The first notice that he had an issue on Sunday was when the Fox broadcast showed him going to the tent. He hadn't missed a play when the Falcons had the ball up to that point. It wasn't obvious whether Penix had re-injured his ribs or if something else had happened. Penix completed 19 of 33 passes for 225 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions against the Bears, and he ran just once for one yard. |

Ravens DE Trey Hendrickson, who returned on Sunday against the Browns after missing two games following finger surgery, was spotted waiting his turn outside the X-ray room after the game. Asked about his health after the game, Hendrickson called it an "ongoing process."

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Germie Bernard caught 11 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.2.
| Footballguys view: Bernard had a massive PPR day and scored the team's only touchdown in his first game as a starting wide receiver with three of his teammates at the position out for this game. Bernard was a priority waiver wire pickup last week and will be a strong WR3/Flex option against the Saints in Paris next week. |

Carolina Panthers TE Tommy Tremble caught 4 passes for 46 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 3.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran 28 times for 120 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 1 yard on 2 targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 15.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers offense passed their stiffest test of the season, with Hubbard's tough running helping them close out a resounding road win against a good defense. Hubbard is a solid RB1 in a balanced offense with a line that is going to get some key starters back. He has a tough matchup against the Bucs stout run defense next week. |
Chuba Hubbard player page
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 34-27 win over the New York Giants. He was projected for 9.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: The Saints pass offense didn't do a lot of the heavy lifting for the team in Week 6, and Johnson's fantasy output was one of the casualties. He'll head to Paris and face the Steelers next week with a bye up in Week 8. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues if he's not your most productive tight end. |
Juwan Johnson player page
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran 6 times for 18 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 27 yards and a touchdown on 3 targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 4.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.5.
| Footballguys view: Najee Harris got the start, but he was ineffective. Tracy was the red zone back with Cam Skattebo benched following another costly fumble in overtime last week, and he got free for a receiving touchdown to open the scoring for the Giants. He was on the field during the comeback bid with JJ McCarthy and added a rushing touchdown. He clearly has the most athleticism of any of the Giants backs and should be added while the Giants try to figure out who their best quarterback and running back is going into Week 7 with a trip to Houston up next. |
Tyrone Tracy Jr. player page
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 12 passes for 165 yards on 15 targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 13.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.5.
| Footballguys view: The good news is that Nabers put up a good chunk of this with JJ McCarthy after Jameis Winston was benched. McCarthy wasn't able to get on the same page with Justin Jefferson last year, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with his Southeast Louisiana pedigree #1 receiver with the Giants. |
Malik Nabers player page
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 16 of 30 passes for 144 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 5 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the New York Giants. He was projected for 17.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.0.
| Footballguys view: Shough wasn't a dangerous downfield passer, but he was a courageous runner and made the plays in the red zone (along with an inspired 31-yard catch and run touchdown by Alvin Kamara on a day that he became the sixth player in NFL history to get to 5000 yards receiving and rushing) including a quarterback sneak touchdown. He is playing with two breaks in his left hand and faces a tough Steelers defense next week, so maybe Shough is not an automatic play despite the big fantasy result today. He'll have a bye in Week 8 to heal with a favorable schedule for fantasy production in the second half of the season. |

Chiefs rookie WR Cyrus Allen was introduced before Sunday's game against the Chargers as one of the team's three starting wide receivers. WRs Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals were introduced as the other two starters.

Atlanta Falcons WR Jahan Dotson caught 3 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 5.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.2.

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts Sr. caught 5 passes for 60 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 6.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.5.
| Footballguys view: Pitts scored two garbage time touchdowns that ended up not being garbage time, as they turned a 24-point deficit into an 8-point gap late in the game and made the Bears sweat out this game until Kyler Gordon sacked Michael Penix and forced a fumble that Chicago recovered to end the Falcons last drive. Pitts is back to being a boom/bust TE1 after a very slow start to the season might have gotten him dropped in some leagues. |
Kyle Pitts Sr. player page
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. completed 19 of 33 passes for 225 yards with 3 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 15.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.1.
| Footballguys view: Penix ended up with his best fantasy result of the season mainly because the Bears jumped out to a 31-7 lead. He has a good connection with Jahan Dotson in the downfield passing game and Kyle Pitts in the red zone, so Penix's fantasy value might not rely solely on Drake London big games. He's a boom/bust streaming QB1/QB2/Superflex heading into a game against the 49ers on the road. |
Michael Penix Jr. player page
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards with 1 touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 19.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.5.
| Footballguys view: Williams was in control much in the same fashion he was when the Bears scored 59 points in Week 1. The Week 2 game in the rain against the elite Vikings defense appears to be the outlier. Williams could have had a much bigger game, but the Bears were up 31-7 and the offense let up, allowing the Falcons to get back within one score late in the game. This is actually good for Williams and the rest of the Bears fantasy stock, as Ben Johnson probably won't make the mistake of letting up again until the opponent has also waved the white flag by putting backups. |
Caleb Williams player page
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson ran 9 times for 61 yards and also caught 2 passes for -8 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 20.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 6.3.
| Footballguys view: The Bears are going to do this to opponents occasionally this season. The Falcons had just over seven minutes of time of possession in the first half and were down by multiple scores at halftime. There's not much Robinson could have done to avoid to avoid the fantasy dud. The Falcons have another treacherous matchup against the 49ers next week. |
Bijan Robinson player page
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 7 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.1.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had two scores in a part-time role in Week 5, and he took on more work this week after Romeo Doubs left with a shoulder injury in the first quarter and now will be a clear add in fantasy leagues. He has the most dependable chemistry with Drake Maye of any of the healthy Patriots wide receivers after AJ Brown looked very rusty in his return against the Jets. |
DeMario Douglas player page
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. caught 6 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 2.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.3.
| Footballguys view: Cooper scored a long touchdown against a busted coverage and still would have led the team in receiving yards and catches if you took that play away. Adonai Mitchell should be back soon from his finger injury, so you have to wonder how Garrett Wilson is going to deliver the WR2 value we expected when he was going in the 3rd/4th round with Cooper and Mitchell both looking like very viable targets that Geno Smith has good chemistry with. Cooper will be an add across formats with a good matchup against the Dolphins next week. |
Omar Cooper Jr. player page
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 14 times for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 14.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.6.
| Footballguys view: TreVeyon Henderson was the back that fumbled in Week 6, but Stevenson was ineffective and both of them yielded to former UDFA Corey Kiner, who was acquired for a seventh round pick right before the season. We'll be listening closely to see what the plan is going forward in this backfield, but for now Stevenson is just a what-the-heck flex until we get more clarity with a Thursday night game at Chicago coming up. |
Rhamondre Stevenson player page
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 18 of 32 passes for 235 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 4 times for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 20.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.8.
| Footballguys view: Maye had a big game with AJ Brown back in the lineup, but Brown wasn't normal self as Romeo Doubs, Demario Douglas, and Hunter Henry caught the touchdowns. Maye will be a high ceiling QB1 against the Bears on Thursday, but with offensive line issues and the Bears dominating time of possession for long stretches, Maye will also have some bust potential on the road. |

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 7.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Fannin started slow and then appeared to emerge as Deshaun Watson's favorite red zone target with three touchdowns over two games in Weeks 3 and 4, but he has retreated to the background of the passing game again. The Browns have a good matchup against the weak Titans pass defense in Week 7, but you would be forgiven for dropping Fannin in short bench leagues, and maybe even in a longer bench league if you have a strong tight end option and Fannin has been on your bench. |
Harold Fannin Jr. player page
Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston caught 1 pass for 15 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.0.
| Footballguys view: Jerry Jeudy has been a trade candidate, but he made the biggest play of the day for the Browns to set up the game-winning field goal. Jeudy led the team in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in receptions, which means this somewhat meager passing game is now going to be split four ways with KC Concepcion and Harold Fannin also figuring into the weekly game plan. The Browns are in first place, but there's not a reliable fantasy play on the roster. |
Denzel Boston player page
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry ran 17 times for 58 yards, also caught 1 pass for 2 yards on 1 target and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 17.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.5.
| Footballguys view: Henry's value should get back to previous levels with the return of Lamar Jackson, which could come next week against the Bengals now that the Ravens have dropped a divisional game. |

Browns WR Jerry Jeudy is viewed as a trade candidate, but Cleveland is not actively shopping him. Jeudy made a 33-yard catch on Sunday, an example of why the Browns are keeping him. Cleveland is atop the division, and Jeudy provides veteran WR experience.

Giants QB J.J. McCarthy entered Sunday's game against the Saints at quarterback in place of an ineffective QB Jameis Winston. The change came after New Orleans scored 34 unanswered points to take a 34-10 lead over the Giants. McCarthy threw an interception on his first drive and then led two touchdown and one field goal drives to get the Giants within seven points. McCarthy then drove the team down into scoring range, but couldn't throw a touchdown on the game's final play as Isaiah Likely had three Saints all over him as the ball arrived. McCarthy was 11 for 21 for 243 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, with two carries for 26 yards on the day.
| Footballguys view: It's hard to know exactly what John Harbaugh will do after this game, but McCarthy made a strong case to be the starting quarterback against the Texans next week. The Saints were in garbage time defense mode at first, so we can't be sure this will stick, but McCarthy was making the necessary throws to not just get the Giants back in this game, but also support top end fantasy value for Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely after he sunk Justin Jefferson's value last season. McCarthy should be added in 2QB/Superflex leagues as the still first place Giants don't know who their best quarterback and running back are heading into Week 7. |

Giants WR Darnell Mooney (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints. The Giants are down to three wide receivers, and WR Charlie Jones is "getting a lot of snaps" with Mooney sidelined. Mooney had been limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday with the neck injury.

Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate was down momentarily after being slammed to the ground during Sunday's game against the Colts. Tate has since returned to the game. He finished with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and also drew a big pass interference penalty to set up the game-winning field goal.
| Footballguys view: Tate has looked like a #1 receiver in two of the last three games with fantasy numbers to match. Even though the Titans offense has been one of the worst in the league and Cam Ward isn't improving at quarterback, Tate has the demonstrated upside to stay in lineups as a WR3/Flex despite a tough matchup against Denzel Ward and the Browns next week. |

Browns WR KC Concepcion gingerly jogged off the field after taking a big hit from Ravens S Kyle Hamilton on a screen pass during Sunday's game against Baltimore.

Bills WR DJ Moore will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, missing his second straight game with a shoulder injury. Moore is "getting closer but needs a little more time." With the Bills on a Week 7 bye, the hope is he will be closer to 100% coming out of it. TE Dalton Kincaid, WR Keon Coleman and WR Khalil Shakir will be in the spotlight as Buffalo's receiving trio on Sunday.

Bills WR Joshua Palmer (shoulder), listed as questionable, was going through pregame warmups on Sunday ahead of the game at the Raiders, so it "looks like he'll be back this week."

He is officially questionable with a shoulder injury.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. Baltimore's remaining receivers are Zay Flowers, Ja'Kobi Lane, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester.
