The 49ers head coach added that there’s no set date yet. Shanahan also estimated that Aiyuk would return in Week 6 in August. You may be aware that it is Week 7. While we’re sure to see some positive movement on Aiyuk over the next month, until we get word that the 49ers are going to open his 21-day return window, it’s hard to trust that he’s going to be back any time soon. We’d anticipate that Week 10 would be about the earliest he’d return based on how the 49ers have handled it thus far.

These are both very logical fits as GM Mike Borgonzi has worked with Nagy on the Chiefs and Smith was a long-time Titans OC under Mike Vrabel. There’s familiarity with both of them in the building. Neither hire would be particularly inspiring as failed head coaches in Atlanta and Chicago, respectively. But of course it’s going to take a while for the coaching candidate cycle to truly pick up and we don’t know yet who will emerge as a new name.

We’re still waiting on an update from the team after Moore finished the game against the Commanders but was mysteriously hospitalized Monday evening in the Washington area. Moore was notably seen blocking 15 yards downfield on the team’s final drive of the game, leading to the game-winning field goal. He did not travel home with the team while spending the night in a D.C. area hospital.

O’Connell has reportedly spent the bye week working with McCarthy on improving his mechanics, especially his footwork, an area of concern over the season’s first two games before McCarthy apparently sustained a serious ankle injury that has kept him sidelined for more than a month. Concerns about McCarthy’s unrefined mechanics stretch back to the offseason, when the second-year QB would miss easy throws and held the ball long enough for the pass rush to get home in practices. O’Connell and the Vikings might have no choice but to turn back to McCarthy in Week 7 against the Eagles with Carson Wentz “managing a serious left shoulder injury,” according to The Athletic’s Alec Lewis. McCarthy would be a significant downgrade for all of Minnesota’s pass catchers.

Williams also ran for a touchdown, although he ended up with negative two yards because of kneels. His touchdown saw D’Andre Swift do most of the work on a 55-yard scamper, but still looks good in the box score. There were some moments of inaccuracy, but there were some brilliant throws as well, and it’s worth noting he had an 11-yard TD pass to Rome Odunze negated by penalty. Williams hasn’t played at an elite level in 2025, but there have been enough flashes of brilliance to be encouraged. He has a chance for a big game in Week 7 in a matchup against the Saints.

London was leaned on heavily in the absence of Darnell Mooney, seeing 16 targets on 32 Michael Penix pass attempts. He also combined with star running back Bijan Robinson to account for a ridiculous 396 yards of the 443 yards of total offense from the Falcons. London was utilized all over the field, hitting the Bills deep for a 39-yard gain in addition to seeing an elevated red zone role. His touchdown came late in the first quarter on third down from nine yards out, with the alpha wide receiver catching the ball two yards shy of the end zone before reaching the ball over the line with a defender draped around his midsection. London will look to keep the momentum rolling when the Falcons face the 49ers in Week 7.

The highlight of the game for Robinson was an 81-yard touchdown run on an outside zone attempt at the beginning of the second quarter to put the team up by two scores, which went down as the longest run of Robinson’s already electric career. He accounted for over half of the team’s 443 total yards of offense on a night they played without Darnell Mooney due to injury, also combining with alpha wide receiver Drake London to account for 236 of quarterback Michael Penix’s 250 yards through the air. It was a truly dominant performance from one of the league’s top backs, and he’ll look to keep the momentum going when the Falcons travel to the Bay area to face the 49ers in Week 7.

Penix and the Falcons came out firing on all cylinders, scoring touchdowns on two of their first three possessions to have the Bills playing from behind from the jump. He leaned on his top two options in Drake London and Bijan Robinson as the team played without Darnell Mooney, targeting the top play makers on 24 of his 32 pass attempts. 226 of Penix’s 250 yards also were accounted for by the duo as the Bills had no answers. In all, it was a consistent showing for Penix even though the fantasy returns were less than appealing. Up next for the 3-2 Falcons are the 49ers on the road in Week 7.

He gained more yards on the team’s first possession of the second half than he did the rest of the game, which highlights the general inability of the Buffalo offense to move the football consistently amidst mounting injuries. Losing field stretcher Joshua Palmer early in the second quarter left the offense in a state of one-dimensionality they were unable to overcome in the face of consistent pressure from an aggressive Atlanta defensive front. Cook’s splits in wins versus losses this season are stark, something fantasy managers hope alter course when the Bills exit their Week 8 bye.

The Bills couldn’t overcome mounting injuries against the Falcons, managing just 291 yards of offense while scoring their only points of the game on their first possession of each half. Defensive tackle DaQuan Jones was injured in pre-game warmups and did not suit up, wide receiver Joshua Palmer departed early in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return, and linebacker Terrel Bernard was injured at the end of the first quarter and did not return. Those key injuries simultaneously paved the way for Bijan Robinson to amass 238 yards of total offense and forced the Bills into a more one-dimensional offense absent their downfield threat. Overcoming injuries is not anything new for the Bills, but it sure seems to be an unwanted similarity when looking back at their recent seasons. The Bills fall to 4-2 with the loss after dropping their second in a row, heading into their bye week tied with the Patriots atop the AFC East, with the Patriots now holding the tiebreaker.
