Post-game recap of Seahawks vs. Bears
Drops: Dalton Schultz
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is expected to play in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals and could see increased volume due to matchups. Despite a quiet season, a favorable matchup against a Bengals defense that struggles with tight ends, coupled with a potential Lamar Jackson return and defensive focus on Zay Flowers, presents Andrews as a boom-or-bust option with upside

Week 6 marks the first bye-pocalypse of the season, with fantasy-relevant players from the Vikings, Bengals, Lions, and Dolphins all unavailable for selection. We’re going to have to make some lineup decisions that don’t feel great this week. Hopefully, this week’s sportsbook-versus-experts battle offers some clarity. Before we get into this week’s wars, let’s take a look at how last week played out. The scoring system is simple: closest to the final rank wins. I highlighted these players before Sunday’s games: Justin Herbert – Experts win Alvin Kamara – Sportsbooks win Josh Downs – Experts win Dalton Schultz – Sportsbooks win For the second consecutive week, we got ourselves a tie. Perhaps the sportsbooks learned a valuable lesson about predicting Josh Downs to do anything. Now, on to Week 6. PlayerProfiler is home to award-winning dynasty rankings and tools.

The Kirk-aissance has been one of the most underrated stories of the season. Heading into the season, the prevailing feeling was that Kirk Cousins would play a handful of games before No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza would take the reins. The Raiders offense has looked better than competent, averaging the ninth-most points per game (26.4) — a significant improvement from last season’s league-low 14.2 points per game. 2026 NFL league leaders in passing TDs after Week 5: 1. QB Brock Purdy (SF) – 13 2. QB Jared Goff (DET) – 12 3. QB Kirk Cousins (LV) – 12 4. QB Joe Burrow (CIN) – 11 5. QB Jordan Love (GB) – 10 5. QB Aaron Rodgers (PIT) – 10 5. QB Trevor Lawrence (JAX) – 10 — NFL Talk (@NFL_Talk_Sports) October 13, 2026 In Week 6, the Raiders host the Super Bowl hopeful Buffalo Bills. Look, we all know about Josh Allen . So long as he is healthy, the Bills will remain in Super Bowl conversations. But the reality is that this defense is not good… again. The Bills have adopted an optional approach to defense, which makes for some fantastic fantasy football opportunities. Through five weeks, the Bills are giving up the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks (22.5), the second-most passing yards per game (295.8) and the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers (45.1). That’s why the books have Cousins ranked as a low end QB1 on the week. The 2025 summer of Jacory ‘Bill’ Croskey-Merritt seems like a mere dot on the rear-view mirror. Collectively, it’s hard not to overreact to the tiny morsels of preseason coachspeak and padless walkthroughs after being starved for months of interminable silence. In the end, Croskey-Merritt had a solid yet unspectacular rookie season, logging 800 rushing yards without his starting quarterback for the majority of the year. Year 2 has gotten off to a fine, if uninspiring start. Croskey-Merritt ranks as the RB28. He has 239 rushing yards, 67 carries, and just seven targets. Crucially, over the last three weeks, Croskey-Merritt has seen his snap share decrease from 57% in Week 3 to 45% in Week 4 to 35% in Week 5 — that was despite logging his most efficient game of the season (11 carries for 82 yards) last week. That pesky Rachaad White led the backfield in snaps against the 49ers as Jayden Daniels rushed for over 100 yards. I found this development to be particularly interesting. White offers more than Croskey-Merritt in the passing game and, crucially, in pass protection — an important advantage with a mobile quarterback like Daniels. His presence gives the Commanders another way to keep defenses guessing, but it also threatens Croskey-Merritt’s workload. The Commanders are 7.5 underdogs against a 5-0 San Francisco 49ers team which has fared middle-of-the-road when it comes to run defense (16th in rush yards allowed and ninth-lowest EPA/rush). Whilst the matchup isn’t a disaster, the books think that Croskey-Merritt is at risk of seeing his role reduced as the Commanders play [... truncated ...]
