Overview

• Rico Dowdle is a top add after torching Miami for 206 rushing yards on 23 carries with Chuba Hubbard sidelined by a calf injury, with outlets noting he could keep a sizable role even when Hubbard returns.
• Kendrick Bourne’s 10-catch, 142-yard TNF breakout makes him a priority pickup if 49ers pass-catchers remain out, and Mac Jones’ three-Start surge has him recommended as a streaming quarterback.
• Michael Carter operated as Arizona’s lead back with Trey Benson on IR, logging heavy usage and a touchdown, which positions him as a multi-week starter in most formats.
• Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy delivered six catches for 114 yards while CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin were out, making him a deep-league add with the caveat that his role could shrink when starters return.
• Tight end Theo Johnson has become a red-zone favorite for Jaxson Dart with three TDs over two weeks, The Sporting News tips Sean Tucker for an expanded role with Bucky Irving expected to miss at least two weeks, and Week 6 byes are the Texans and Vikings.
