Marshall showed promise in early in the season after the Dolphins cut bait with Vontae Davis and handed him the starting job, but he hasn’t seen the field since Week 4. He will undergo surgery on Friday. Nolan Carroll will likely remain the starter at RCB going forward.

Knight seemingly earned more work as the game progressed by simply outplaying Allgeier, the team’s Week 6 starter. After a few unproductive Allgeier runs, the Cardinals got Knight involved as a receiver on the second drive, his first catch coming via a slant route and generating a first down. They gave him three carries on the third drive, culminating in a 31-yarder on a well-blocked run to the left. Allgeier subbed in for the red zone sequence on that drive, but the coaching staff gave Knight three red zone touches on the fifth drive, compared to just one for Allgeier. They gave Knight two more red zone touches on the seventh drive. Blocking failed him on the second one, and it may have resulted in a right hand or wrist injury. Knight trotted over to the medical staff after the play, and a trainer could be seen stabilizing Knight’s wrist while putting him through sideline testing. Knight did return to the game on the next drive, but this is worth keeping an eye on. If Jeremiyah Love (ankle) misses the Cardinals’ Week 7 game against the Broncos, and Knight’s apparent injury is a non-issue, Knight could end up getting the start next week. Stay tuned.

McBride’s first target ended up being a Quentin Lake interception, but Jacoby Brissett went right back to his star tight end on the following drive. McBride made a contested catch on a quick in route, spun off contact and took off downfield for a 26-yard gain. McBride’s day largely consisted of out routes and catches in the flats after that, but he was given two opportunities to score a touchdown from inside the Rams’ 25-yard line on the Cardinals’ seventh drive. On 2nd-and-1 from the Rams’ 21-yard line, McBride caught a pass in the flats and rumbled through contact for a short first-down gain. Three plays later, on 3rd-and-goal from the Rams’ seven-yard line, Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur dialed up a screen pass for him, but the Rams blew it up, resulting in a yardage loss. It wasn’t McBride biggest outing, but a 7/53 is hardly unusable. McBride remains an elite TE1 against the Broncos next week.

Coleman’s six targets tied for second-most on the Bills with Khalil Shakir, who also found the end zone in this one. Coleman scored on an impressive 12-yard play by Josh Allen, who appeared ready to take off and run with the ball before spotting Coleman open in the end zone and flipping a shovel pass to him for the score. Coleman has now scored in three straight games and has been targeted six or more times in two of his last three. With the Bills now heading into their Week 7 bye, Coleman could face more target competition when they return in Week 8 against the Ravens if DJ Moore (shoulder) is active. Moore was questionable entering this week and ruled out 90 minutes before kickoff, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he was a full-go after the bye.

Bourne got going with a 15-yard catch-and-run on the Cardinals’ third drive. He earned a third-down end zone target from the Rams’ three-yard line, running an out route just inside the goal line, but he was unable to secure the pass, resulting in a close incompletion. He later bagged a tight-window catch on the Cardinals’ first drive after halftime, helping the offense down the field for one of their six field goal drives. The crafty veteran remains a PPR FLEX starter against the Broncos next week.

The Eagles released Dalton less than two weeks ago. According to Florio, the Eagles reached out to Dalton with an offer after Jalen Hurts’ superficial blood clot moved in his calf, resulting in an indefinite sidelining, and Dalton told the Eagles, “no, thank you.” Florio did not reveal where Dalton plans to sign, but we should get word on that before long.

Wilson’s day would have looked a lot different if a would-be 36-yard touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett had not glanced off Wilson’s fingertips while he dove for it in the end zone. He had another 30-yarder go off his hands on the following drive, and had a five-yard catch overturned by a penalty. The disappointing box score results could allow fantasy managers to send a successful buy-low offer. Wilson is a WR2/3 next week against the Broncos.

Brissett threw an interception to Rams S Quentin Lake while targeting Trey McBride on the Cardinals’ third play from scrimmage but managed to play mistake-free, and touchdown-free, football from there on out. Brissett took zero sacks for the first time this season and linked up with four different players for explosive gains. That said, the box score results obviously disappoint. Brissett nearly linked up with Michael Wilson for a 36-yard touchdown on the Cardinals’ seventh drive, but the ball glanced off Wilson’s fingertips as he dove for it in the end zone. The drive ultimately resulted in a field goal, as did five others. Brissett will be a high-end QB2 against the Broncos in Week 7.

Hampton was his usual plodding self in this one, with a long rush of four yards in another depressing outing for the LA offense. Kimani Vidal, meanwhile had seven rushes for 21 yards and got much of his work in the first quarter. Keaton Mitchell had just two carries and did not catch his lone target. Hampton led the backfield in routes and targets on the day. His diminishing role and his lack of efficiency has made Hampton nothing more than a touchdown-dependent desperation flex option this year. The Chargers have a bye in Week 7.
