Another 100-yard game for Derrick Henry in OT win

Williams was immediately asked to fill the WR3 role for an offense missing its top two slot receivers. Even so, he finished fifth on the team in targets and carries little fantasy value for as long as the team’s top three options in Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft remain healthy. That doesn’t change ahead of a matchup with the Lions in Week 7.

Kraft was forced from the game in the second quarter after taking a scary hit to his thigh area that generated torsion on his knee while his foot was still planted. It was the opposite knee to the one he injured a season ago and the veteran tight end would miss only one drive before returning to the game after the half, providing a collective sigh of relief for fantasy managers that have tasted the despair of a major knee injury already. Kraft could be busy in Week 7 against the defense allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends when the Packers face off against the division rival Lions in a potential shootout.

Watson drew lockdown corner Joey Porter Jr. for much of the game, something that aided teammate Matthew Golden in leading the team in both targets and receiving in the win. The talented fifth-year receiver is already within 74 yards of setting a new career high in receiving while also being just one touchdown shy of a new high water mark, two achievements he will look to unlock when the Packers face off against the Lions in a potential shootout in Week 7. Watson remains a back-end WR1 for that matchup.

Golden took advantage of being the Green Bay receiver to mostly avoid Joey Porter Jr., although he did victimize the lockdown corner on a 37-yard reception in the first quarter. He would cash in on a touchdown eight plays later from nine yards out for his third score of the season. The speedy second-year receiver has now eclipsed 100 yards in half of his games while hitting 95 in one other, and is pacing for over 1,400 yards and eight touchdowns. That’s enough to have Golden in the conversation for one of the top values of fantasy drafts this summer. Golden will be an upside WR2 when the Packers take on the division rival Lions in Week 7.

Strong’s 17 opportunities handily led the backfield on a night MarShawn Lloyd was in and out of the game due to an early injury scare. Even so, he managed only 2.8 yards per carry that was overshadowed by the looking return of lead back Josh Jacobs, the latter of whom is expected to be activated from the commissioner exempt list Monday. Strong, Lloyd, and Kaleb Johnson can safely be returned to the waiver wire from whence they came.

Love isn’t typically a threat to punch in a touchdown with his legs, but the state of the backfield and flow of the game gave him that opportunity late in the second quarter, which he would cash in for his first rushing score since Week 11 of 2024. Fantasy managers shouldn’t get too excited about the touchdown on the ground considering running back Josh Jacobs is expected to be activated from the commissioner exempt list Monday. Even so, Love has now accounted for two touchdowns in all six games played through the first third of the season and has gone over 300 yards through the air in half his appearances to start the 2026 season, leaving plenty of meat on the bone for continued fantasy production as the Packers enter their most difficult stretch of the schedule. Love remains a locked-in QB1 ahead of a potential shootout against the division rival Lions in Week 7.

Ferguson has now been out-targeted by the team’s WR3, Ryan Flournoy, in five of six games, even being out-targeted by fellow tight end Brevyn Span-Ford in this one. The latter caught 4-of-5 targets for 35 yards on a night quarterback Dak Prescott attempted 54 passes. Any fleeting fantasy value is quickly evaporating as the fourth option, at best, through the air. Ferguson can safely be left on fantasy benches ahead of a Week 7 meeting with the Eagles on the road.

While the yardage totals continue to remain modest for the third-year receiver, his emergence as a trusted WR3 in the offense has led to him out-targeting tight end Jake Ferguson in five of six games through the first third of the season. That’s a role that can return usable FLEX production in the right matchups in the typically high-powered Cowboys offense, adding to his high-end handcuff value. Fantasy managers can continue to stash FLournoy ahead of a Week 7 meeting with the division rival Eagles.

Lamb was targeted relentlessly against the match-zone-based Green Bay defense but suffered through a failing connection with quarterback Dak Prescott on his way to middling fantasy returns. The Cowboys managed under 100 yards in the first half and were victimized by two Prescott interceptions deep in Green Bay territory, leading to a game environment that required 55 Prescott dropbacks. Even with a second consecutive middling-to-poor performance from a fantasy first round pick, Lamb is still pacing for a 1,500-yard, 11-touchdown season, plenty to provide a solid return on investment for fantasy managers that used their top pick on his services. Lamb could be busy again in Week 7 against the inside-funnel nature of the Philadelphia defense, where he will once again be a fantasy WR1.

Pickens was targeted just once in the first half as the Cowboys were held under 100 yards of total offense before the break. He would remain quiet through the third quarter, adding a single catch to his ledger on two additional targets before seeing eight looks in the final frame with the Cowboys in desperation mode. The 11 targets finished second on the team to CeeDee Lamb’s 18 while the 73 yards slightly edged the 70 of Lamb. Pickens remains an upside WR2 ahead of a divisional matchup against the inside-funnel Eagles’ secondary in Week 7.
