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.

Austin Ekeler carried the ball once for three yards and caught both of his targets for four yards in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Ekeler mixed in behind Rachaad White in the Washington backfield. The veteran running back should continue to see a handful of touches behind White while Jacory Croskey-Merritt is on injured reserve with a groin injury.

Rachaad White carried the ball seven times for 27 yards and caught four of his five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: White had a larger role than usual with Jacory Croskey-Merritt on injured reserve with a groin injury. White took advantage, leading the Washington backfield in touches while scoring on a nine-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the fourth quarter. White is looking like a high-end RB3 in fantasy going forward as he heads into his bye in Week 7.

Jayden Daniels completed 29 of his 40 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns while adding four rushes for 10 yards in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Unlike Week 5, Daniels didn't do much damage on the ground, but he made up for it with a solid day in the passing attack. His touchdown passes both came in the second half with one going to Stefon Diggs and the other to Rachaad White. Daniels has thrown for 759 yards and five touchdowns across four games this season. A solid QB1 in fantasy going forward, he will be on bye in Week 7 before taking on the Eagles in Week 8.

Fantasy Impact: There is no rupture, which is a positive sign after Evans left Monday's game late in the first half. He'll continue to be further evaluated later in the week.

Terry McLaurin was carted off the field after suffering an apparent leg injury, staying on the ground for several minutes before having an air cast placed on his leg. He has since been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Not a surprise given the circumstances. (Source: ESPN on X)

Fantasy Impact: The injury occurred while McLaurin was trying to run a route late in the first quarter. The whole Washington roster and several of the Niners veterans, including Mike Evans and George Kittle, also came to wish him well. Fantasy managers will need to watch for updates, but expect a lengthy absence. With McLaurin out, Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams will see an uptick in work, with TE Chig Okonkwo and WR Treylon Burks also filling in some as well.

Fantasy Impact: Charbonnet will continue to practice all week. He'll have to be activated by Thursday, which will be 21 days after they designated him to return to practice. His status will need to be monitored in practice throughout the week.

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said RB Jeremiyah Love will get "some running in" on Tuesday. (Source: Tyler Drake on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Love missed Sunday's win over the Rams. The Cardinals will have a better idea of where he’s at and what he’ll do on Wednesday.

The Ravens signed kicker Jake Moody to their practice squad. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Moody was with Baltimore earlier this season. He'll continue to add depth.

The Rams placed DT Poona Ford on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact: Ford will miss the rest of the season for the Rams.

The Rams placed DL Kobie Turner on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact: Turner will officially miss at least the next four weeks. It is another injury for the Rams defensive line.
