Overview

• Rico Dowdle is a top running back add after racking up 206 rushing yards and a touchdown on 23 carries for Carolina, with usage likely to hold while Chuba Hubbard recovers.
• Michael Carter operated as Arizona’s lead back with Trey Benson on IR, logging 23 touches and a score, positioning him as the Cardinals’ short-term No. 1 option.
• Kendrick Bourne’s 10 catches for 142 yards put him on the radar as San Francisco’s injury-driven target leader, while Dallas receiver Ryan Flournoy (6-114 on nine targets) profiles as a deeper add pending Cowboys injury returns.
• Sam Darnold’s 341 yards and four touchdowns for Seattle cement his status as a Week 6 streaming quarterback, a useful pivot with the Vikings and Texans on bye.
• Tight end help is surfacing: Darren Waller has three touchdowns in two games with Miami, Theo Johnson is emerging as the Giants’ red-zone finisher, and the Jets’ Mason Taylor just drew 12 targets for a 9-67 line.
