  • PHI Wide Receiver #80
    Eagles WR Julio Jones (concussion) will not return to the Wildcard Round game against the Buccaneers.
    Jones was shaken up on a reception towards the end of the second quarter. He was evaluated during the half and subsequently ruled out. His night ends with three receptions for 22 yards.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #17
    Wan’Dale Robinson caught 5-of-11 targets for 50 yards in the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bengals.
    In typical Wan’Dale fashion, 11 targets led to just 50 receiving yards in a low-aDOT role over the middle of the field. The Giants struggled mightily to move the football again in this one and have now failed to score more than 15 points in any of their three home games this season. That is not a trend to instill confidence with the Eagles on deck in Week 7.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #86
    Darius Slayton caught 6-of-11 targets for 57 yards in the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bengals.
    Slayton operated as the clear top dog in the Giants’ pass attack for the second consecutive week without Malik Nabers, this time failing to return the same counting stats as he did in Week 5 when he went over 100 yards and found the end zone. Slayton is not typically counted on to be the top wide receiver for the Giants, meaning his fantasy value is likely to fall back to earth once Nabers returns from a concussion suffered in Week 5. That could come as early as Week 7 when the Giants play host to the division rival Eagles.
  • NYG Running Back #29
    Tyron Tracy rushed 17 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bengals, adding 57 yards on six receptions.
    Tracy nearly doubled the yardage output of any of New York skill position player on a night both Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson saw 11 targets. That said, Devin Singletary appears to be near a return, something that should push Tracy back to a change of pace role. Up next for Tracy and the Giants are the Eagles at home in Week 7.
  • NYG Quarterback #8
    Daniel Jones completed 22-of-41 passes for 205 yards and one interception in the Giants’ 17-7, Week 6 loss to the Bengals, adding 56 yards on 11 carries.
    Jones and the Giants failed to get anything going on offense until they converted two fourth downs consecutively in the third quarter, a drive capped off by a Tyrone Tracy rushing score to mark the first touchdown the team has scored at home through three home games this season. In fact, the Giants average under 10 points per game through their first three homes games in 2024. Head coach Brian Daboll and the rest of the organization have some soul searching to do considering how well their defense has played to this point in the season, with Week 6 yet another example of the team allowing 21 points or fewer. After being blown out by the Vikings in their opener, the Giants have held the subsequent five opponents to 21 points or fewer, but have just two wins to show for it. Things don’t get any easier as the Giants prepare to host the Eagles in Week 7.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #80
    Andrei Iosivas caught 2-of-3 targets for 36 yards in the Bengals’ Week 6 win over the Giants.
    The lone target Iosivas failed to corral was one directed his way in the end zone. Joe Burrow simply failed to get enough on the ball when forced to throw off his back foot in the face of pressure, narrowly missing on an under-thrown ball in the middle of the end zone. Iosivas has returned inconsistent fantasy production throughout the season, making him a difficult start in managed leagues moving forward.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #1
    Ja’Marr Chase caught 5-of-6 targets for 72 yards in the Bengals’ Week 6 win over the Giants.
    Chase finished second on the team in receiving behind Tee Higgins on a night the Bengals struggled with consistency in the face of relentless pressure from the ferocious New York defensive front. The team would bookend their scoring, finding paint on their first possession and last possession, but managing a lone field goal between. Better days are surely in store for the electric veteran, although the team has another stiff test in Week 7 when they travel to Cleveland to face the Browns.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5
    Tee Higgins caught all seven targets for 77 yards in the Bengals’ Week 6 win over the Giants.
    The fact that Higgins led the team with just 77 yards through the air is more of an indictment against the way the Bengals performed against the Giants rather than a glaring endorsement. Even so, Higgins continued returning usable fantasy weeks and was targeted once in the red zone, ultimately being tackled at the one. An offensive holding penalty on the subsequent play would push the Bengals back 10 yards and lead to their only field goal of the night. Another difficult test awaits the Cincinnati pass offense when the Bengals travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns in Week 7.
  • CIN Running Back #30
    Chase Brown rushed 10 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals’ Week 6 win over the Giants, adding 11 yards on two receptions.
    Brown played sparingly in the first half but came on strong after a Zack Moss fumble on the team’s first possession of the second half, finding the end zone on the team’s final possession of that game that did not result in kneel downs. Brown’s largest snap share of the season prior to Week 6 was just 40%, making this a potential turning point in the young back’s trajectory this year. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on practice reports out of Cincinnati ahead of the team’s Week 7 showdown with the Browns.
  • CIN Running Back #31
    Zack Moss rushed six times for 13 yards in the Bengals’ Week 6 win over the Giants, adding two yards on his lone reception.
    Moss struggled along with the rest of the Cincinnati offense on a night the team scored on their first and last possession but managed a lone field goal between the bookended touchdown drives. A lost fumble on the team’s first possession of the second half saw Moss retreat to the bench, paving the way for Chase Brown to score in the fourth quarter. Moss had not played fewer than 60% of the team’s offensive snaps until tonight, making it a situation to monitor as the team prepares to face the Browns on the road in Week 7.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Joe Burrow completed 19-of-28 passes for 208 yards in the Bengals’ 17-7, Week 6 win over the Giants, adding 55 yards and a touchdown on four carries.
    Burrow got the scoring started with a 47-yard touchdown scamper on third-and-18 on the opening possession of the game but added very little the rest of the way in the face of consistent pressure from the ferocious Giants pass rush. Even without Kayvon Thibodeaux, the Giants managed four sacks and were consistently harassing Burrow in the backfield, leading to six total punts in addition to a lost fumble by Zack Moss. Still, the Bengals managed to escape New York with their second win as they attempt to salvage a season that did not start as the team had hoped. Another difficult test awaits in Week 7 when the Bengals travel to Cleveland to take on the stout defense of the Browns.
