Overview
- Rico Dowdle is a top add after his 206-yard, 1-TD breakout for Carolina, with Chuba Hubbard still dealing with a calf issue and Dowdle projecting usable even when Hubbard returns.
- Sam Darnold profiles as a prime Week 6 streamer after a 341-yard, four-TD game and a matchup with Jacksonville, which has allowed 300-plus passing yards and multiple TDs in two straight.
- Michael Carter seized Arizona’s backfield, doubling Emari Demercado in snaps (38-17) and touches en route to 91 yards and a TD, positioning him as a high-priority pickup.
- With Chargers rookie Omarion Hampton on IR, Hassan Haskins projects for early-down/short-yardage work and Kimani Vidal for change-of-pace duties, making both speculative adds.
- Pass-catcher moves stand out as well, with adds like Kendrick Bourne, Ryan Flournoy, and tight ends Mason Taylor, AJ Barner, and Theo Johnson, while FantasyPros flags WR buys (Justin Jefferson, Drake London, Tetairoa McMillan, Ricky Pearsall, Stefon Diggs) and sells (Ja’Marr Chase, DK Metcalf, DeVonta Smith, DJ Moore).
