Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 6 Half PPR Rankings

22.
Ashton Jeanty
RB - (vs . BUF)
It has been a weird season for Jeanty. After starting the year dealing with an ankle injury, it seems that he has never fully recovered. At the same time, he has been heavily involved in the receiving game and eating up yards each week. Heading into Week 6, he has the sixth most scrimmage yards at the position behind Derrick Henry and ahead of Jonathan Taylor. Unfortunately, the touchdowns have been hard to come by. What's been stopping him from being the RB1 we had hoped is that he has yet to score a rushing touchdown this season, and has not scored since Week 1. This week, they have a juicy matchup against the Bills. With his workload and lack of weapons on the Raiders, a Bills defense allowing the 10th most fantasy points to the position could be the perfect solution. I expect Jeanty to end his touchdown drought this week, making him a top-five play for me.

Brock Bowers
TE - (vs . BUF)
Despite missing the first two games, Bowers is the TE5 on the season. Across three games, he has accumulated 35 targets, 24 receptions, 312 yards, and three touchdowns. That's an average of eight receptions, 104 yards, and a TD per game. Wild. The Raiders have some tough defenses coming up, however, starting in Week 7. This week they face the Bills, whose defense has slowly become one of the worst in the NFL. They average the second-most passing yards per game and the fifth-most points allowed to opposing offenses. If the Raiders are going to move the ball and try to keep up with Josh Allen, it's going to be through Bowers and Jeanty.

Michael Mayer
TE - (vs . BUF)
With Brock Bowers in the lineup, Michael Mayer has had a 10.7% target share, 1.40 YPRR, one red zone target, and an 8.6% first-read share. In those three games, Mayer has one TE1 finish in weekly scoring (TE7). Mayer is on the streaming radar this week. Buffalo has allowed the 11th-highest yards per target to tight ends while ranking 18th in fantasy points per opportunity given up to the position.
