The Broncos managed just 168 yards of total offense on a night their defense carried them to victory in overtime. Nine of the Broncos’ 11 possessions, excluding the two kneel downs to end each half, ended in punts on drives that lasted five plays or fewer. Two second quarter touchdown drives had the Broncos playing with a lead for much of the game but they were otherwise unable to move the football with any consistency. An overtime interception by nickel corner Ja’Quan McMillian allowed for a game-winning, 53-yard field goal from kicker Will Lutz after the Broncos again failed to gain a first down. The win sends Denver to 4-2 while averaging only 18.7 points per game through six weeks. The team gets a scheduling gift with the Cardinals on deck in Week 7, although Nix cannot be treated as a starter-worthy fantasy asset outside of the deepest leagues.

Smith-Njigba overcame a sluggish first half to extend his stranglehold on the overall WR1 in fantasy circles with a dominant second half and overtime period. While the 51 pass attempts from Sam Darnold were highly uncharacteristic of this Seattle offense, a complete inability to run the football paired with a negative script to form the perfect environment for Smith-Njigba to set a season high in targets and receptions. Smith-Njigba has now gone over 100 yards in five of six appearances to start the 2026 regular season and is in a good spot to continue that dominance when the Seahawks host the Chiefs in Week 7, where he remains a top-tier WR1 in fantasy circles.

The Seahawks struggled to move the football throughout against the tenacious situational play calling from Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, scoring only three points until just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. A late-game surge saw them punch on in and a successful two-point conversion drew the team within three points. They would stop the Broncos on the subsequent possession but an interception in Denver territory put the game in jeopardy. The defense would do their job and force a three-and-out that took only 15 seconds off the clock, giving the ball back to Darnold to lead a two-minute drill to send the game to overtime through a chip shot field goal. Darnold would throw his second interception in overtime, watching from the sideline as the Broncos walked it off with a 53-yard Will Lutz field goal. The loss sends the Seahawks to 3-3, matching the total number of losses from a season ago through only six weeks of the 2026 season. The Seahawks have work to do to make up ground in the NFC West, now 2.5 games behind the undefeated 49ers through the first third of the regular season. Darnold and the Seahawks now have a long week to prepare for the now-undefeated Chiefs at home in Week 7, where Darnold will be a fringe QB2 in fantasy circles.

Waddle departed in the third quarter and was deemed questionable to return with a shoulder injury but made his way back to the field in the fourth quarter, catching two additional passes in the final frame. He ended with four receptions for 24 yards on seven targets and has quickly become a difficult weekly start in fantasy circles. An enticing matchup against the Cardinals in Week 7 is sure to give fantasy managers a hint of potential, but if he fails again to return a usable fantasy week, it might be time to reconsider entering him in weekly lineups.

Waddle departed early in the third quarter and was quickly deemed questionable to return with a shoulder injury. It is unclear when the injury occurred. Waddle managed to catch just 2-of-5 targets for 15 yards prior to departing, keeping his usable weeks total at just two games through the first six weeks of the 2026 season. Fantasy managers that invested a fourth-round pick on the veteran wide receiver have got to begin to make alternate plans at wide receiver moving forward.

Tyler Allgeier should be rostered in 10-team leagues. The Cardinals have downplayed Love’s ankle issues, but two missed practices are not a good sign. He still has a chance to suit up in Week 6 against the Rams, but he is currently on the wrong side of questionable.

It looks like the Bills could again be without their No. 1 wide receiver on game day. Josh Allen and Co. take on the Raiders this weekend, in what should be a fantasy-friendly game environment. Hopefully, Moore resumes practicing soon.

Barkley is firmly on the wrong side of questionable for his team’s Week 6 game against the Panthers, potentially leaving Dameon Pierce, Carson Steele and practice squad player Jaydon Blue to split touches. Hopefully, reports clarify whether Pierce would handle a sizable workload as the de facto starter.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo said he is “still hearing optimism he’ll play Sunday. We’ll see.” Given his follow-up comment, it doesn’t seem like he shares the organization’s optimism. If active, Smith would be catching passes thrown by backup Tanner McKee. Jalen Hurts is sidelined indefinitely by a blood clot. McKee, a pocket passer, could lock onto Smith, keeping him in the WR2 tier if active.

We already knew that Montgomery was considered week-to-week, so this is unsurprising. Woody Marks will start for however long Montgomery is sidelined. The Jaguars field one of the NFL’s best run defenses, but Marks ceded just one snap to Dare Ogunbowale last week. Theoretically, he should remain in a near-full-time role, elevating him to the RB2/FLEX tier despite the tough matchup.
