  • CHI Wide Receiver #15

    Odunze, who led the Bears in pass routes on the day, was third in targets while Luther Burden and Colston Loveland had big days with Caleb Williams back under center. Odunze was seeing more targets and air yards with the Bears’ backups QBs under center, though he should remain a high-variance flex in Week 7 against the Patriots. Odunze leads the Chicago offense with a 35 percent air yards share this season.
  • NYG Running Back #44
    Before the game, it was widely reported that the Giants would start Najee Harris with Skattebo dealing with fumbling issues to start the season. This was indeed the case as Skattebo saw zero touches and just six snaps on the day, last among all four Giants running backs. After the game, head coach John Harbaugh insisted the team did not bench Skattebo, but its hard to see this as anything else. Fantasy managers will be hoping Skattebo will be out of the dog house after no Giants running backs surpassed 20 yards rushing against a poor Saints run defense. He is cautiously in the RB3 ranks until further notice.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #10
    With Caleb Williams back from a hamstring injury, Burden led the Bears with eight targets and a season-high 95 yards, mostly on short over-the-middle passes from Williams. Burden’s long play was a 25-yard catch and run. That he ran a route on just 19 of the Bears’ 45 drop backs is something of a concern going forward. With that little route involvement, Burden will have to be hyper efficient if he’s going to be a WR2/3 in fantasy formats. He should remain in lineups next week against the Patriots.
  • ATL Quarterback #9
    Penix was a mess in the first half, missing Drake London on what should have been an walk-in 30-yard touchdown. The Falcons abandoned the run game in the second half, facing a three touchdown deficit, and Penix threw three touchdowns in hurry-up mode. Taking five sacks on the day, Penix targeted London and Jahan Dotson heavily, connecting with Dotson on a nicely thrown 41-yard gain in the second half. This was the first multiple-TD game of Penix’s season. He’ll be a low-ceiling superflex play in Week 7 against the 49ers.
  • ATL Tight End #8
    Pitts was one of the beneficiaries of a pass-heavy second half for a Falcons offense that was forced to abandon the run game facing a multi-touchdown deficit. Pitts took advantage of single coverage a couple times, including on his first touchdown grab. He now has three touchdowns over his past two games as Michael Penix brings some stability to the Atlanta offense. Pitts, who ran a route on 26 of the team’s 38 drop backs against Chicago, will be a viable play in Week 7 against the Niners.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey exited the game after a 17-yard reception in the first quarter and was seen entering the blue medical tent before being helped to the locker room. The quickness with which he was ruled out could mean the injury is on the severe side. The Chargers are down to their fifth and sixth wideouts on the depth chart. Justin Herbert likely won’t be fantasy relevant for the rest of the season.
  • CHI Quarterback #18
    Williams was all the way back in this one, returning to action after three weeks on the sideline recovering from a hamstring injury. His only real miss of the day came on a ten yard throw to Colston Loveland that should have been an easy touchdown. Williams tormented the pass-funnel Atlanta defense with middle-of-the-field throws, along with typical out-of-structure passes to the sideline. It was an impressive outing against a Falcons defense giving up the league’s fifth lowest drop back success rate. Williams should remain in lineups in Week 7 against the Patriots.
  • ATL Wide Receiver #5
    London couldn’t get much going against Chicago’s middling secondary outside a 39-yard grab in the second half, with the Falcons abandoning the run game as they faced a three-touchdown deficit. Michael Penix missed London in the first half on what could have been a fairly easy 30-yard score with a better placed throw from Penix. London almost came down with an end zone target too. No other Atlanta pass catcher had more than seven targets on the day. London will remain a top-10 option in Week 7 against the 49ers.
  • NYG Quarterback #18
    McCarthy’s first play of the game was a read-option where he kept the ball and rushed for a loss of two yards in the red zone. With the Giants down 24 points in the fourth quarter, McCarthy replaced a struggling Jameis Winston and started throwing several deep targets downfield. He threw an interception his first drive but led multiple successful drives late in the fourth quarter. Charlie Jones corralled a 49-yard pass away from a defender, making a near-interception into a long completion for McCarthy. Martin Emerson dropped an interception later in the drive before McCarthy connected with Isaiah Likely for a touchdown. He wound up leading the Giants in passing and rushing through just one quarter of play. Averaging 11.6 yards per attempt, McCarthy was one play away from leading a comeback against the Saints. Instead, we will wait to see if John Harbaugh will name the 23-year-old the starter for Week 7 against the Texans; he would be a fantasy QB2 if he starts.
  • ATL Running Back #7
    Robinson couldn’t get anything going against a Chicago defense allowing the fifth highest rate of yards before contact. The Bears were intent on snuffing out the Atlanta rushing attack and forcing Michael Penix to move the ball through the air. It worked for much of the game. Robinson, who had 425 rushing yards in his previous three games, remains the engine of the run-heavy Falcons offense and should get back on track in Week 7 against the Niners.
