Fantasy Football Player Notes

Week 6 Rankings

Derrick Henry Note
Derrick Henry photo 1. Derrick Henry BAL (vs . WAS)
It took a 51-yard run in overtime to get him there, but Derrick Henry posted his fourth-straight weekly top-10 finish in last week's Ravens victory. King Henry is in a prime spot to dominate again in Week 6 versus the Washington Commanders. Washington is allowing a league-worst 5.28 yards per rush to opposing running backs this year. Their defensive line is the main culprit, allowing 1.57 yards before contact per rush. That is the second-worst mark in the NFL. Baltimore's offensive line has provided a league-best 1.94 yards per rush before contact. This matchup in the trenches is a huge advantage for Baltimore, and Henry should be the primary beneficiary.

Saquon Barkley Note
Saquon Barkley photo 2. Saquon Barkley PHI (vs . CLE)
Saquon Barkley has had at least 116 yards from scrimmage in his first four games as a Philadelphia Eagle. He should be in for another heavy workload in Week 6 versus the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has been in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to the running back position. But they have allowed six rushing touchdowns to enemy backs this year. The Browns have also allowed a reception on 84.2 percent of targets to running backs. Barkley is coming off a bye week and should be ready to resume his role as the bell cow back in a potent offense.

Jordan Mason Note
Jordan Mason photo 3. Jordan Mason SF (at SEA)
Though Jordan Mason had a relatively quiet fantasy day last week, he remained one of the more efficient backs in the NFL. Mason totaled 89 yards on 14 carries and has averaged five yards per carry or better in four of five games. He should continue to be a focal point of the 49ers' offense on Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle has been a good run defense, but Mason's volume should keep him as an RB1 in this matchup.

Bijan Robinson Note
Bijan Robinson photo 4. Bijan Robinson ATL (at CAR)
This isn't the type of season I envisioned for Robinson as the RB24 in fantasy points per game. Atlanta has scaled back his workload over the last two games. He has played 64-67% of the snaps with 13 touches and 75.5 total yards per game. The big problem for Robinson is that Atlanta has leaned into their passing game so heavily that it has limited his overall volume some. He has been splitting the workload with Allgeier since Week 4. Robinson has had a 57.5% snap rate on rushing plays, a 66.7% snap rate on passing downs, and a 57.1% snap share in the red zone. Among 59 qualifying backs, he ranks 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 27th in yards after contact per attempt. This could be the big Robinson game that we have been waiting for. Carolina can't stop anyone on the ground. Carolina has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest yards per carry to zone runs, and the fifth-highest success rate to zone runs (Robinson 82.1% zone).

Kenneth Walker III Note
Kenneth Walker III photo 5. Kenneth Walker III SEA (vs . SF)
A week after dropping a three-touchdown game on Detroit, Kenneth Walker III only had five carries in a home loss to the New York Giants. It was an odd game from a time of possession standpoint, which limited Seattle's commitment to the run. On the bright side, Walker III caught seven passes, which boosted him into RB2 territory in 12-team leagues. Seattle hosts San Francisco on a short week in Week 6. The 49ers have not been as dominant upfront as they have in recent years. San Francisco ranks 17th in the NFL against the run. I expect Seattle to ensure that Walker III is a featured player this week, so fantasy managers should continue to keep him in starting lineups as a low-end RB1.

Josh Jacobs Note
Josh Jacobs photo 6. Josh Jacobs GB (vs . ARI)
Josh Jacobs finally got into the end zone last week as Green Bay held off the Los Angeles Rams. That touchdown enabled Jacobs to finish the week as the RB8 in Half-PPR leagues after four straight weeks outside the top 20. Jacobs gets a chance to build on last week's performance in a favorable Week 6 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona is a below-average rush defense in most relevant metrics. His workload is about as projectable as they come at the running back position in 2024. Because of that, his place as a low-end RB1 should be relatively safe this week.
3 days ago
Alvin Kamara Note
Alvin Kamara photo 7. Alvin Kamara NO (vs . TB)
Alvin Kamara is coming off his worst game of the year, managing just 66 scoreless yards in a loss to Kansas City. He still had 19 opportunities, so fantasy managers will just have to chalk it up to a rough day at the office. Kamara missed practice on Wednesday but should be good to go for a Sunday matchup with division rival Tampa Bay. Kamara will continue to be an elite RB1 in this matchup.

Jahmyr Gibbs Note
Jahmyr Gibbs photo 8. Jahmyr Gibbs DET (at DAL)
Detroit's dynamic backfield duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have been as consistent as they are productive from a fantasy standpoint. Gibbs has been a top-16 back in all four of the Lions' games, while Montgomery has finished inside the top 18 each week. Fantasy managers should expect more of the same in Week 6 when the Lions face the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas ranks 31st in rushing DVOA and 32nd in defensive EPA against the run this year. Both backs are worth starting in Week 6 as potential RB1s, with Gibbs being the preferred option in most formats.
3 days ago
David Montgomery Note
David Montgomery photo 9. David Montgomery DET (at DAL)
Montgomery is the RB8 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.1 touches and 91.3 total yards per game. Montgomery and Gibbs have been the twin engines of the Detroit offense. Despite his fantasy production, Montgomery's efficiency metrics have slowed some this season. Among 59 qualifying backs, he ranks 37th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 31st in yards after contact per attempt. Montgomery could be held in check this week against what has been a surprisingly formidable Dallas run defense. The Cowboys have kept backs in check with the ninth-lowest explosive run rate, the seventh-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 13th-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Montgomery is a volume play this week.

Breece Hall Note
Breece Hall photo 10. Breece Hall NYJ (vs . BUF)
After three straight top-15 weekly finishes to start the year, Breece Hall has now finished outside the top 40 in each of the last two weeks. Despite the recent disappointments, there are reasons to believe in Hall this week. The New York Jets host the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. Buffalo has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this year. Much of that production has come in the receiving game. No team has given up more receptions (36), receiving yards (312), or receiving touchdowns (3) to running backs than the Bills. Hall is tied for second among running backs with 21 receptions this year. With the Jets shaking things up in the wake of firing head coach Robert Saleh, expect Hall to be heavily involved in the offensive game plan this week.
3 days ago
Tony Pollard Note
Tony Pollard photo 11. Tony Pollard TEN (vs . IND)
Pollard is the RB18 in fantasy points per game and the clear leader in the Tennessee backfield. He has averaged a 64% snap rate with an 80% snapshare in the red zone. Pollard has averaged 18.6 touches and 83.3 total yards. Among 59 qualifying backs, he is 26th in explosive run rate and seventh in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard faces an Indy run defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards per game, the tenth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the 12th-highest yards before contact per attempt. He should have a banner day.
3 days ago
James Conner Note
James Conner photo 12. James Conner ARI (at GB)
Though he failed to score a touchdown last week, James Conner recorded his third game with at least 100 total yards and his fourth top-18 weekly fantasy finish. Conner has touched the ball at least 19 times in all four of those games. Quarterback Kyler Murray was the only other Cardinal besides Conner to log a carry in their upset win in San Francisco. The veteran running back should be in for another large workload this week versus the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay profiles as a slightly above-average run defense. However, much like his counterpart in this game, Conner has bankable volume that is a commodity in terms of expected fantasy production. His ceiling may not be as high as some other backs in this range, but Conner's floor keeps him in the RB1 discussion in 12-team leagues.
3 days ago
Chuba Hubbard Note
Chuba Hubbard photo 13. Chuba Hubbard CAR (vs . ATL)
Hubbard is the RB12 in fantasy points per game, but he didn't really take off until Andy Dalton got the starting gig. Since Dalton has been under center, Hubbard has been the RB5 in fantasy points per game, averaging 21.6 touches and 128.3 total yards per game. Overall, among 59 qualifying backs, Hubbard ranks 21st in explosive run rate and 16th in yards after contact per attempt. Hubbard should keep rolling along this week. Atlanta has allowed the fourth-highest missed tackle rate and rushing yards per game, the third-highest rushing success rate, and the seventh-highest zone rushing success rate (Hubbard 72% zone).
60 mins ago
D'Andre Swift Note
D'Andre Swift photo 14. D'Andre Swift CHI (vs . JAC)
Swift has been awesome over the last two games as the RB3 in fantasy points per game, averaging 65% of the snaps, 23 touches, and 142.5 total yards per game. Over that span, among 40 qualifying backs, he ranks 22nd in explosive run rate, 17th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 35th in yards after contact per attempt. Good matchups and volume have been the engines of his production, while his tackle-breaking has remained modest. Swift will be running into brick walls this week on the ground, so he'll need all the passing game usage he can get. Jacksonville has kept rushers in check with the eighth-lowest rushing yards per game, the tenth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the second-lowest yards after contact per attempt allowed. Swift has an 11.2% target share while ranking ninth in YPRR and seventh in receiving yards per game (33) among 35 qualifying backs. The Jaguars have allowed the second-most receptions and receiving yards to running backs.

J.K. Dobbins Note
J.K. Dobbins photo 15. J.K. Dobbins LAC (at DEN)
Dobbins got off to a hot start this season, but he's run into some tough run defenses, and the pain train continues in Week 6. Dobbins is the RB16 in fantasy points per game. He ranks 29th in weighted opportunities and 37th in red zone touches. Among 59 qualifying backs, he is 12th in explosive run rate and 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt while averaging 16.5 touches and 96.5 total yards. Dobbins faces a Denver run defense that has brick-walled backs with the 12th-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest rushing success rate, and the third-highest stuff rate.
3 days ago
Bucky Irving Note
Bucky Irving photo 16. Bucky Irving TB (at NO)
Irving will operate as the Bucs lead back for Week 6 with Rachaad White out. Over the last two weeks, he has played 42-43% of the snaps while averaging 11 touches and 55.5 total yards. Irving has been extremely efficient with his touches (among 59 qualifying backs), ranking seventh in explosive run rate, sixth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. New Orleans continues to be a tough run defense, allowing the seventh-lowest explosive run rate, the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game, and the second-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Irving is a volume-based RB2.
1 day ago
Najee Harris Note
Najee Harris photo 17. Najee Harris PIT (at LV)
Harris has been the lead back for Pittsburgh all season in a run-first offense, and he's done very little with the role. He's the RB36 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.8 touches and 77.8 total yards. He is fourth in weighted opportunities and 13th in red zone touches. Among 59 qualifying backs, he ranks 45th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 42nd in yards after contact per attempt. This offense desperately needs Jaylen Warren to get healthy. Harris should have his best game of the season this week against a putrid Raiders' run defense that has allowed the 11th-highest explosive run rate, the tenth-most rushing yards per game, and the fifth-highest missed tackle rate.
3 days ago
Travis Etienne Jr. Note
Travis Etienne Jr. photo 18. Travis Etienne Jr. JAC (at CHI)
Etienne is dealing with a shoulder issue, and it has drastically affected his playing time. Over the last two games, he has averaged only 45% of the snaps with 12 touches and 60 total yards. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 25th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. The Bears run defense has been up and down. While they have the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate and the eighth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, they have also been exceptionally vulnerable to gap runs. They have allowed the ninth-highest explosive run rate and have given up the fourth-highest yards per carry to gap runs and the 11th-highest success rate to this run play type (Etienne 64% gap). With this snap rate cut, he's a dicey RB2, but the path is there for him to pay off this week, even with limited volume.
3 days ago
Rico Dowdle Note
Rico Dowdle photo 19. Rico Dowdle DAL (vs . DET)
Dowdle is coming off his best game of the season. He had a season-high 50% snap share with 22 touches and 114 total yards. Over the last two weeks, among 41 qualifying backs, he has shown some glimmer of hope, ranking 20th in yards after contact per attempt. Overall, this season, he's the RB34 in fantasy points per game, averaging 13 touches and 64.4 total yards. This isn't the week to go chasing last week's results for Dowdle. He has a horrible matchup this week against Detroit's top-shelf run defense. The Lions have allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the lowest yards per carry and success rate to zone runs (Dowdle 55.6% zone).

James Cook Note

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Note
Tyrone Tracy Jr. photo 21. Tyrone Tracy Jr. NYG (vs . CIN)
Tracy Jr. stepped up last week as the Giants' starting running back and the RB18 for the week. He played 59% of the snaps overall and 71.9% of the snaps for rushing plays, but he only saw a 35.7% snap rate in the red zone. He had 19 touches and 130 total yards. With the extended playing time, he displayed better tackle-breaking numbers that he had prior in the season, with an 11.1% explosive run rate, a 22% missed tackle rate, and 3.11 yards after contact per attempt. Tracy Jr. is an RB2 with upside. The Bengals have allowed the third-most rushing yards per game, the eighth-highest missed tackle rate, and the highest rushing success rate.

Chase Brown Note
Chase Brown photo 22. Chase Brown CIN (at NYG)
Brown was limited on Thursday and Friday with a quad issue. He has been listed as questionable, but he’s still expected to play this week. Over the last three games, Brown has seen an elevated role, playing 24-40% of the snaps, averaging 13.6 touches and 71.6 total yards. Among 59 qualifying backs, he ranks 11th in explosive run rate, ninth in missed tackle rate, and fourth in yards after contact per attempt. The Giants have been gashed by backs all year, allowing the tenth-highest explosive run rate, the highest missed tackle rate, and the second-highest yards after contact per attempt. Brown is a high-upside flex this week who could return RB2 value.
1 day ago
Joe Mixon Note
Joe Mixon photo 23. Joe Mixon HOU (at NE)
Mixon looks to be back this week. He had limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He has been listed as questionable, but he’s expected to play and handle a sizable workload. In his only full game this season, he handled 33 touches and produced 178 total yards. Mixon has only forced a missed tackle on 10% of his runs, with 2.28 yards after contact per attempt. These aren’t great numbers, and this week, while Mixon is playing, he is likely still not 100%, so we can’t expect his tackle-breaking to be much better than that baseline. He has a tough matchup this week, but if he sees anything close to his usual volume and red zone role, he’s somewhere in the RB2 realm. New England has allowed the 13th-fewest rushing yards per game, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 11th-lowest rushing success rate.
1 day ago
Tank Bigsby Note
Tank Bigsby photo 24. Tank Bigsby JAC (at CHI)
Bigsby exploded in Week 5 with a 40% snap rate, 14 touches, 129 total yards, and two scores. He played 60% of the rushing play snaps and had a 33% red zone snap rate. In the three games this season, Bigsby has played at least 29% of the snaps, he has averaged 11 touches and 97.3 total yards. He's been absolutely electric. Among 57 qualifying backs, Bigsby is putting up efficiency stats that would make De'Von Achane blush last year, ranking first in explosive run rate, third in missed tackles forced per attempt, and first in yards after contact per attempt. The Bears run defense has been up and down. While they have the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate and the eighth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, they have also been exceptionally vulnerable to gap runs. They have allowed the ninth-highest explosive run rate and have given up the fourth-highest yards per carry to gap runs and the 11th-highest success rate to this run play type (Bigsby 67.6% gap). Bigsby is a strong flex play this week that could finish with RB2 numbers.
3 days ago
Trey Sermon Note
Trey Sermon photo 25. Trey Sermon IND (at TEN)
Sermon surprised as a volume-driven RB1 last week (RB8). He was the clear lead back for the Colts with a 59% snap rate, 16 touches, and 63 total yards (one score). Sermon also had a 66.7% snap share in the red zone. Among 63 qualifying backs, he ranks fourth in explosive run rate and 21st in missed tackles forced per attempt. This is another tough rushing matchup for Sermon if he draws the start, but like in Week 5, he can likely overcome it with volume. Tennesse has the fifth-lowest missed tackle rate, the seventh-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the fourth-lowest yards per carry allowed to gap runs (Sermon 52.6% gap).
3 days ago
Javonte Williams Note
Javonte Williams photo 26. Javonte Williams DEN (vs . LAC)
Williams has been a volume play all season. The problem is the volume hasn't gotten anyone anywhere profitable. He is the RB38 in fantasy points per game, ranking 30th in opportunity share, 19th in weighted opportunities, and 22nd in red zone touches. Williams has averaged 14 touches and 64 total yards while ranking 32nd in explosive run rate and 41st in yards after contact per attempt. He's in for a long day against a Bolts run defense that has quieted rushers with the fifth-lowest explosive run rate, the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the second-lowest missed tackle rate allowed.
3 days ago
Jerome Ford Note
Jerome Ford photo 27. Jerome Ford CLE (at PHI)
Ford is the RB27 in fantasy points per game. He has played at least 58% of the snaps in four of five games while averaging 13.6 touches and 67.4 total yards. Among 59 qualifying backs, he ranks 17th in explosive run rate and 15th in yards after contact per attempt. The Eagles have been a prime matchup for backs, allowing the highest explosive run rate, the sixth-highest missed tackle rate, and the 14th-highest yards after contact per attempt. It's fair to question whether the offense will get Ford into scoring position or the team will feed him enough volume to take advantage, though.

Antonio Gibson Note

Zack Moss Note
Zack Moss photo 29. Zack Moss CIN (at NYG)
Moss opened the week with a DNP on Wednesday, but he had a limited practice on Thursday and a full session on Friday. He has been listed with no injury designation for Week 6. Over the last two games, he has played 60-67% of the snaps while averaging 15.5 touches and 65 total yards. Since Week 5, Moss has retained the leadback role. While his rushing play snap rate has fallen to 45.5%, his passing down snap share has been 79.1%, and his red zone snap rate has remained at 66.7%. Moss hasn’t been efficient with his touches this season, ranking 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 40th in yards after contact per attempt. He has a solid matchup to return RB2/flex value this week. The Giants have been gashed by backs all year, allowing the tenth-highest explosive run rate, the highest missed tackle rate, and the second-highest yards after contact per attempt.
1 day ago
Austin Ekeler Note
Austin Ekeler photo 30. Austin Ekeler WAS (at BAL)
Ekeler has played 43% or higher in three of his four games this season while averaging 7.6 touches and 75.3 total yards. He is the RB29 in fantasy points per game. The decreased volume this season has helped some of his former efficiency creep back into his game. Among 65 qualifying backs, he ranks fifth in explosive run rate and 24th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Ekeler is an RB2/3 volume play in a terrible matchup. He should operate as a workhorse with bell-cow upside this week. Baltimore has allowed the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, the fewest rushing yards per game, and the lowest yards after contact per attempt. The Ravens have allowed some production to receiving backs, though, with the 14th-highest yards per reception and the 11th-most receiving yards per game allowed. Ekeler has a 10.6% target share while ranking second in receiving yards per game (37.8) and first in YPRR (3.08) among 35 qualifying backs.
10 hours ago
Alexander Mattison Note
Alexander Mattison photo 31. Alexander Mattison LV (vs . PIT)
Mattison should be the lead back again this week. Last week, he was the RB29 in fantasy, playing 57% of the snaps with 17 touches and 61 total yards. This offense is a dumpster fire outside of Brock Bowers. The offensive line ranks 16th in yards before contact per attempt. Mattison has simply gotten what is blocked and very little else this season, ranking 49th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 37th in yards after contact per attempt. Mattison will spend Week 6 running into brick walls. Pittsburgh has stood pat with the second-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the 11th-lowest missed tackle rate allowed.
3 days ago
Tyler Allgeier Note
Tyler Allgeier photo 32. Tyler Allgeier ATL (at CAR)
Allgeier is a low-end flex this week. Overall, this season, he is the RB52 in fantasy points per game, averaging 7.8 touches and 44.6 total yards. Among 59 qualifying backs, he hasn't been amazing on a per-touch basis, ranking 25th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 29th in yards after contact per attempt. If Atlanta jumps out to a big lead or is salting the clock away late, Allgeier could get an expanded role this week. If that happens, Allgeier could payoff for Fantasy GMs struggling to fill out lineups this week. Carolina has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest yards per carry to zone runs, and the fifth-highest success rate to zone runs (Allgeier 78.8% zone).

Braelon Allen Note
Braelon Allen photo 33. Braelon Allen NYJ (vs . BUF)
Allen could see more work this week as New York should lean into their ground game to win this week's battle with Buffalo. Allen has played 26-36% of the snaps this season, averaging eight touches and 43 total yards. Among 59 qualifying backs, he ranks 18th in missed tackles forced per attempt and sixth in yards after contact per attempt. Buffalo has allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate, the seventh-most rushing yards per game, and the seventh-highest yards per carry to gap runs (Allen 53.1% gap).
3 days ago
Tyjae Spears Note
Tyjae Spears photo 34. Tyjae Spears TEN (vs . IND)
Spears is a low-end flex and handcuff. He has averaged only 33-45% of the snaps with 9.8 touches and 40.8 total yards per game. Among 59 qualifying backs, he has been extremely disappointing this season with zero explosive runs and ranking 44th in yards after contact per attempt and missed tackles forced per attempt. The matchup is great this week, so maybe Spears will break off a long run to pay off this week. Indy's run defense has allowed the second-most rushing yards per game, the tenth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the 12th-highest yards before contact per attempt.

Justice Hill Note
Justice Hill photo 35. Justice Hill BAL (vs . WAS)
Hill is a decent flex play. He is the RB37 in fantasy points per game, averaging 7.2 touches and 52.4 total yards. Among 65 qualifying backs, he is 29th in explosive run rate and 23rd in missed tackles forced per attempt. The matchup doesn't bode well for Hill's receiving upside, but he could make the most of this rushing work. Hill has a 12.6% target share, ranks fourth in receiving yards per game, and fifth in YPRR among 35 qualifying backs. Washington ranks 16th in receiving yards per game to backs while giving up the 13th-lowest yards per reception. They have also allowed the 11th-most rushing yards per game and the second-highest explosive run rate.
3 days ago
Roschon Johnson Note
Roschon Johnson photo 36. Roschon Johnson CHI (vs . JAC)
Johnson's role has remained the same as a handcuff or backup to Swift. Johnson has averaged 34% of the snaps, 8.5 touches, and 25.5 total yards with three total touchdowns over the last two weeks. He has only had 32% of the rushing play snaps and 26.7% of the red zone snaps during that period. Johnson's value had been highly touchdown-related. He's an easy sit this week in a tough rushing matchup. Jacksonville has kept rushers in check with the eighth-lowest rushing yards per game, the tenth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the second-lowest yards after contact per attempt allowed.

Even if he’s active, Warren is a must-sit. He has only averaged 6.4 touches and 27.3 total yards this season. Warren hasn’t busted an explosive run or forced a missed tackle this season while generating 2.43 yards after contact per attempt. Pittsburgh could ease him back in this week with a handful of touches.
