Fantasy Impact: The Dolphins will make a mid-season change at kicker. Veteran Zane Gonzalez was signed on Tuesday after the team tried out multiple kickers.

Fantasy Impact: Even with starting running back Cam Skattebo in the dog house, Harris did very little in Week 6, netting just two yards on four carries. The veteran has gained only 99 yards on 31 carries in total this season, and the Giants made the decision to release him Tuesday morning. The Giants will move forward with the familiar backfield trio of Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary.

Terry McLaurin (knee) was knocked out of Monday night's loss to the 49ers and will have an MRI on Tuesday. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: McLaurin's injury looked quite ugly and the expectation is that the Commanders star wideout will miss the rest of the season. He will undergo further testing on Tuesday to determine the full severity of the injury.

Fantasy Impact: After being let go by the Chargers this past weekend, Valdes-Scantling will meet back up with QB Aaron Rodgers and other familiar faces in Pittsburgh. Valdes-Scantling played in five games with the Steelers last season, catching 10 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown.

The 49ers D/ST allowed 17 points while notching four sacks in a 23-17 win over the Commanders in Week 6's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: San Francisco held the Commanders to just three points in the first half before Washington's offense came to life a bit after halftime. They will look to stay hot against the Falcons on the road in Week 7.

Eddy Pineiro made his lone field-goal attempt while adding two extra points in a 23-17 win over the Commanders in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Pineiro hit a 33-yard field goal in the third quarter to give the 49ers their last points of the contest. The veteran kicker has made six of his nine field goals while adding 19 extra points this season. He will take on the Falcons in Week 7.

George Kittle caught five of his eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in a 23-17 win over the Commanders in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Kittle finished second on the 49ers in receiving yards and catches in the close win on Monday night. The veteran tight end scored his touchdown on an 11-yard pass from Brock Purdy early in the first quarter. Overall, Kittle has 26 catches for 337 yards and five touchdowns through six games for the 49ers. With Mike Evans (Achilles soreness) expected to be held out through the team's Week 8 bye, Kittle will be a top-five fantasy tight end option in Week 7 vs. the Falcons.

Jordan Watkins caught his lone target for a 22-yard gain in a 23-17 win over the Commanders in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Watkins was quiet in the win. The veteran receiver could see a larger role in Week 7 vs. the Falcons, with Mike Evans (Achilles soreness) not expected to play. Watkins has caught just three passes for 82 yards on the season.

Brandin Cooks caught one of his two targets for 13 yards in a 23-17 win over the Commanders in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Cooks was quiet in the win on Monday night despite Mike Evans leaving the game right before halftime with Achilles soreness. The 49ers leaned on Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle in the passing game in Evans' absence while Cooks was held to just one catch. Cooks is worth a roster spot in deeper leagues, but he should not be in starting lineups heading into Week 7's matchup vs. the Falcons.

Kaelon Black carried the ball eight times for 34 yards while catching his lone target for a three-yard gain in a 23-17 win over the Commanders in Week 6's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Black looked good playing behind Christian McCaffrey, averaging 4.3 yards per carry for the 49ers. The rookie remains one of the top handcuffs in fantasy heading into a Week 7 matchup vs. the Falcons.

Christian McCaffrey carried the ball 16 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns while catching nine of his 10 targets for 53 yards in a 23-17 win over the Commanders in Week 6's Monday night game. He also lost a fumble in the contest.

Fantasy Impact: McCaffrey turned in a huge performance in the close win. He scored his touchdowns on a pair of one-yard runs in the first half, while he led the 49ers in targets and receptions. With seven total touchdowns through his first six games this year, the veteran tailback will be a top-three fantasy option heading into Week 7's road matchup vs. the Falcons.

Brocky Purdy completed 21 of his 29 passes for 264 yads and one touchdown while adding five rushes for 28 yards in a 23-17 win over the Commanders in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Purdy was efficient in the win over Washington on Monday night, although the offense slowed down a bit after halftime. His lone touchdown pass went to George Kittle early in the first quarter. Purdy has been one of the top fantasy QBs this season, posting 1,460 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and two interceptions across six games. He will be a high-end fantasy option in Week 7 vs. the Falcons.

The Commanders D/ST allowed 23 points while notching two sacks and recovering a fumble in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Washington's defense allowed 20 points in the first half but held the 49ers to just a field goal after halftime. They recovered a Christian McCaffrey fumble while getting sacks from Shy Tuttle and Odafe Oweh. Washington will be on bye in Week 7 before they face the Eagles in Week 8.

Drew Stevens made his lone field-goal attempt and added two extra points in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Stevens nailed a 51-yard field goal in the contest, giving him three this season from at least 50 yards out. Overall, the rookie kicker has made 10 of his 12 field-goal attempts and added 10 extra points for Washington. He will be on bye in Week 7 before a Week 8 matchup vs. the Eagles.

Chig Okonkwo caught all seven of his targets for 69 yards in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Okonkwo led the Commanders in receiving in the close loss on Monday night. The veteran tight end has caught at least four passes while reaching at least 60 yards in two straight games. He could be in store for a larger role after his bye in Week 7, as Terry McLaurin was carted off the field on Monday vs. the 49ers with a knee injury.

Antonio Williams caught three of his four targets for 50 yards in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Williams finished third on the team in receiving in the loss on Monday night. The rookie wideout has shown flashes this season but his role hasn't been large enough to be trusted as a weekly starter in fantasy. He could see more work after his bye in Week 7, after Terry McLaurin had to be carted off the field during Monday night's game against the 49ers. Williams is worth a waiver claim in most leagues this week.

Treylon Burks caught four of his six targets for 66 yards in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Burks finished second on the Commanders in receiving yards behind only Chig Okonkwo. The veteran receiver saw an expanded role after Terry McLaurin suffered a knee injury in the first half and was carted off the field. Burks will have some flex appeal in Week 8 after his Week 7 bye, assuming McLaurin can't play.

Stefon Diggs caught six of his seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Diggs set a season-high in catches for the Commanders in the close loss to San Francisco. He found the end zone for the fourth time this season on a one-yard pass from Jayden Daniels late in the third quarter. Diggs should remain a key piece of the Washington passing attack, especially after Terry McLaurin had to be carted off the field with a knee injury on Monday night. The Commanders are on bye in Week 7 before they take on the Eagles in Week 8. Diggs can be considered a solid flex option in fantasy going forward.
