Fantasy value meter,
These players saw their fantasy values increase or decrease most based on their performances in Week 6:
Sizzlers
QB Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans: Thanks to back-to-back four-TD games, Tannehill has now thrown 13 touchdown passes to just two interceptions in leading the Titans to a perfect 5-0 record.
QB Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagles: Wentz’s frequent interceptions have been distressing, but he has a rushing TD in four of his six games and he very nearly led an amazing comeback last week versus the Baltimore Ravens.
RB D’Andre Swift, Detroit Lions: The rookie broke out in Week 6. Against a struggling Jacksonville Jaguars defense, he totaled 116 yards and two touchdowns on just 14 carries.
TE Trey Burton, Indianapolis Colts: Burton has been the Colts’ primary pass-catching tight end for the past two weeks. Cementing that role, he scored twice in Week 6, once receiving and once rushing.
TE Rob Gronkowski, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: With a team-high eight targets on Sunday (including his first TD since 2018), Gronkowski has joined QB Tom Brady in turning back the clock.
Fizzlers
RB Alexander Mattison, Minnesota Vikings: In perfect position for a huge game with Dalvin Cook out, Mattison produced just 26 yards on 10 carries as the Vikings’ offense looked stuck in neutral.
WR Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland Browns: After showing some signs of life the past two weeks, Beckham saw only four targets on Sunday, catching two for 25 yards.
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, Pittsburgh Steelers: While everyone else is contributing, Smith-Schuster seems lost. In a blowout win, he had two catches for 6 yards, while fellow wideouts James Washington and Chase Claypool scored.
WR Julian Edelman, New England Patriots: Edelman hasn’t had more than three receptions in his last three games. His only saving grace last week: a pair of pass completions to James White and Cam Newton.
TE Mike Gesicki, Miami Dolphins: Gesicki has been trending up lately, but he failed to catch either of his two targets against the lowly New York Jets.
