Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette racked up 21 carries and 6 targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He managed just 63 yards on the ground (3.0 per attempt) but caught all 6 of his targets for 38 yards and the team's lone TD. Fournette handled 27 of 35 RB opportunities for the game (77.1%). Rookie Rachaad White carried just 4 times for 12 yards and caught 3 of 4 targets for 11 yards.
Buccaneers QB Tom Brady threw for just 243 yards and 1 TD on 25-of-40 passing in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. It was a disappointing outing vs. a Pittsburgh defense that arrived just 24th in Football Outsiders' pass-defense DVOA. On top of that, The Steelers were missing 3 corners and S Minkah Fitzpatrick. Chris Godwin led the team with a 6-95 receiving line on 12 targets, double his nearest teammate. RB Leonard Fournette was the only other Buc with more than 4 targets. WR Mike Evans posted a 4-42 receiving line on his 4 targets. Tampa Bay visits the Panthers in Week 7, before home dates with the Ravens, Rams and Seahawks.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews caught 7 balls or 106 yards and Baltimore's only passing TD in Sunday's loss to the Giants. His 11 targets marked 34.4% of QB Lamar Jackson's 32 attempts for the game, and his yardage a little more than half of the team total. WRs Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson tied for 2nd on the team with 5 targets apiece. Robinson caught 3 for 27 yards, while Duvernay snared just 1 for 14 yards. Baltimore gets the Browns in Week 7.
Ravens RB Kenyan Drake took his team-high 10 carries for 119 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants, highlighted by a 30-yard TD run. Drake garnered some extra work because RB J.K. Dobbins' repaired knee "tightened up," keeping him from playing the 2nd half. We'll see whether that issue affects Dobbins' availability for Week 7.
Giants QB Daniel Jones threw for just 173 yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens. He tossed TD passes to rookies TE Daniel Bellinger and WR Wan'Dale Robinson. Bellinger led the team with 5 targets catching all of them for 38 yards. Robinson tied Marcus Johnson for 2nd on the team with 4 looks. He caught 3 for 37 yards. RB Saquon Barkley was the only other Giant with more than 2 receptions.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley ran for 83 yards and a TD on 22 carries in Sunday's win over the Ravens. He added 3 catches for 12 yards on 3 targets. Barkley could have scored a 2nd TD late in the 4th quarter but slid short of the goal line to allow his team to run out the clock with a 4-point lead.
Packers WR Allen Lazard reached the end zone for the 4th time in 5 games in Sunday's loss to the Jets. Overall, he caught 4 of 9 targets for 76 yards and the score. It marked his 3rd straight game with at least 8 targets. Lazard and rookie Romeo Doubs also continued to easily lead the offense in routes. Doubs also saw 9 targets, catching 4 for just 21 yards.
Packers RB AJ Dillon led RB Aaron Jones in both carries and targets in Sunday's loss to the Jets. He took his 10 carries for 41 yards and caught 4 of 6 targets for 11. Jones went 9-19 rushing and caught 3 of 4 targets for 25 yards. Jones still led the duo in playing time but spent just 5 more snaps on the field than Dillon. That marked a rebound for Dillon from the split of the Week 5 loss to the Giants. For the year, Dillon and Jones have seen snaps and opportunities split pretty evenly.
Saints HC Dennis Allen declined to name a starting QB for Thursday night's game vs. the Cardinals. "Let's get in the study on that and we'll see where he's at and then we'll go from there," Allen said after the loss to Cincinnati. QB Andy Dalton completed just 17 of 32 passes (53%) for 162 yards (5.1 YPA) and 1 TD against the Bengals. But Allen said that QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) still isn't at 100%. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but neither guy will be more than a lower-end QB2 for Week 7.
TE Robert Tonyan led the Packers in targets (12), receptions (10) and receiving yards (90) in Sunday's loss to the Jets. His 76% route rate also ranked 3rd among Green Bay players. Tonyan and the Packers now get 3 straight road dates, against Washington, Buffalo and Detroit.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown hurt his left foot late in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He told the media afterward that x-rays came back negative, but he was in a walking boot and had a "noticeable limp," according to insider Darren Urban. Brown will undergo further testing on Monday, so we should learn more then. The Cardinals host the Saints this coming Thursday night.
Jets RB Breece Hall ran for 116 yards and a TD on 20 carries in Sunday's win over the Packers. He added 2 catches for 5 yards on 2 targets. That tied him for the team lead in receptions in a game that found the Jets attempting only 18 passes. RB Michael Carter rushed 6 times for 41 yards and caught 1 pass for 6 yards.
Browns WR Amari Cooper caught 4 balls for 44 yards and Cleveland's only TD in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. He drew 12 targets, a 26.7% share and double the total of his nearest teammate. The Browns get an upside passing matchup vs. Baltimore in Week 7.
Browns RBs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt combined for just 68 yards on 16 carries in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. The Cleveland running game clearly suffered from falling behind in the 2nd half. The Browns passed 17 times vs. just 13 rushing attempts in the 1st half. Week 7 finds Cleveland heading to Baltimore.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran for 76 yards and 2 TDs on 19 carries in Sunday's win over the Browns. He also caught 4 of 5 targets for 15 yards. Damien Harris (hamstring) turned up inactive after entering the day questionable. We'll see about his status for a Week 7 meeting with the Bears.
Panthers QB P.J. Walker was knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Rams with a 4th-quarter neck injury. QB Jacob Eason mopped up, completing 3 of 5 passes for 59 yards and a pick. We'll see if Walker is available for Week 7 -- and if Carolina sticks with him. Walker mustered just 60 yards on 10-of-16 passing today. QBs Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are unlikely to be ready for Week 7 with their ankle injuries.
Patriots QB Bailey Zappe threw for 309 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Browns. He completed 4 passes to 5 different receivers, hitting TE Hunter Henry and Tyquan Thornton for his 2 TDs. We'll see whether QB Mac Jones can make it back for the next game.
Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier led the team's backfield in snaps in Sunday's win over the 49ers. But his 15-51 rushing line trailed RB Caleb Huntley's 16-59. Neither drew a target. Avery Williams claimed the only backfield target, catching it for 2 yards. He added 2 carries for 6. Allgeier remains the top play in a situation with a low ceiling and floor. The matchups get better in the coming weeks than the Bucs and 49ers the past 2 games.
Falcons QB Marcus Mariota went 13-of-14 passing for 129 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the 49ers. He also ran for 50 yards and a TD on 6 attempts. The San Francisco matchup looked worse ahead of time than any other opponent before the Week 14 bye. So Mariota is potentially usable at any point during that stretch.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is INACTIVE for tonight's game vs. the Eagles. It's a big surprise after he was left off the final injury report. TEs Jake Ferguson, Peyton Hendershot and Sean McKeon are active for Dallas tonight. Ferguson and Hendershot figure to split the pass-catching work.
