Cards’ Murray seems to be finding his stride
These players saw their fantasy values increase or decrease most based on their performances in Week 6:
Sizzlers
QB Kyler Murray, Arizona
Cardinals: The Cardinals seem to have discovered the optimal balance of their rookie signalcaller’s skills. Murray was accurate with his passes, completing 27 of 37 for 340 yards against Atlanta, and also kept plays alive with his scrambling ability. WR Stefon Diggs, Minnesota Vikings: Diggs was the fantasy star of the week with seven receptions for 167 yards and three scores. Unfortunately, given his slow start, some fantasy owners likely had him on their bench. QB Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans: Watson has almost 800 yards in total offense and has contributed eight total touchdowns over the last two weeks. QB Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Only one quarterback – Michael Vick – has rushed for more yards in an NFL game than the 152 Jackson tallied in Week 6. TE Hunter Henry, Los Angeles Chargers: Henry’s return from a knee injury (eight catches, 100 yards, 2 TD) adds muchneeded depth to the position.
Fizzlers
RB Titans: Derrick A Henry, Tennessee Tennessee offense stuck in neutral has Henry’s fantasy owners worried. He did see 15 carries but mustered only 28 yards rushing. WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, Pittsburgh Steelers: After catching one pass for 7 yards, it’s clear Smith-Schuster’s primary issue is finding a quarterback who can get him the ball. QB Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams: After totaling just 78 passing yards against San Francisco, facing the lowly Atlanta Falcons’ pass defense might help him get back on track. RB Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals: Mixon had nowhere to run in Week 6, managing just 10 yards rushing. It appears Cincinnati will be playing from behind often, which will continue to reduce Mixon’s fantasy value. RB Jordan Howard, Philadelphia Eagles: After scoring five times in three weeks, Howard failed to find the end zone and rushed for 49 yards. He could lose snaps to rookie Miles Sanders, now a major weapon in the passing game.
