Maye drew significant interest this offseason after being released by the Saints, ultimately choosing to be part of a Super Bowl contender in Miami. The Dolphins made multiple additions to their secondary this offseason with the signings of Kendall Fuller and Jordan Poyer, meaning Maye likely chose fewer snaps for the chance at chasing a ring. Either way, Maye brings veteran savvy to a Miami roster primed for a deep playoff run.

Corum got the Rams’ second drive all to himself before re-entering the game on the fourth drive and splitting reps with Kyren Williams thereafter. Rams coach Sean McVay seemingly rewarded Corum for powering through contact on a third-down conversion from the Cardinals’ 19-yard line by allowing him to remain on the field for the scoring-position sequence. Two plays later, Corum was scampering upfield for a 15-yard receiving score after hauling in a pass in the flats. He ran hard the rest of the way, but the Rams got off just 20 rushing attempts today, surprisingly playing in a trailing game script for the entire second half, as the Cardinals achieved victory via voluminous field goals. Corum is an RB3/FLEX against the Raiders next week.

Williams played for the duration of the first and third drives, ceding the second to Blake Corum, who played well right out of the gate. The duo rotated during drives thereafter. Williams looked like his normal, capable self, showcasing a slick spin move off contact on the Rams’ fourth drive. Unfortunately for him, Corum fought hard to convert a first down just inside the red zone and coach Sean McVay kept him out there for the scoring-position sequence, which ended in a 15-yard receiving score for Corum. Williams quietly continued his high-end receiving involvement, earning six targets against the Cardinals today. Williams belongs in the RB1 tier next week against the Raiders.

Higbee was simply outplayed by fellow TE Colby Parkinson in this one. Higbee also had the ball ripped from his possession by LB Cody Simon while trying to fall forward for extra yards on the Rams’ seventh drive, further reducing his fantasy output. With Parkinson playing well, Higbee is a shakier, low-end TE1 against the Raiders next week.

Parkinson played effectively against the Cardinals’ zone coverage this afternoon. He bagged a first down after finding a soft spot downfield on the Rams’ fourth drive, and deftly hurdled a defender on a one-yard gain a few plays later. His touchdown occurred on the Rams’ final possession and required post-catch effort, barreling through contact and extending for the score. Parkinson is a touchdown-dependent TE2 against the Raiders in Week 7.

Andrews ran 11 more routes than rookie tight end Josh Cuevas but was out-targeted by Cuevas 5-to-3. Andrews continues to underwhelm in the passing game and has now failed to surpass 28 yards in four straight games. He can be left on waivers ahead of Week 7’s game against the Bengals.

McLaughlin operated as the Browns’ lead back with Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson both sidelined. The 26-year-old back saw six of his carries go for four or more yards, and he was the only Browns running back to see a target. If either Judkins or Sampson are able to return in Week 7 against the Titans, McLaughlin will likely return to his role as a lightly used backup. If Judkins were to miss another game, McLaughlin could be in line for double digit touches, but he would be a risky bet as far as fantasy is concerned.

This was the worst game of Boston’s young career. After going for 40-plus yards in his first five games to start the season, the promising rookie was blanketed in coverage all afternoon and managed just one reception as a result. Boston may have had a chance at scoring were it not for a pass near the right side of the end zone sailing too far out of bounds for him to bring both feet down, but scoring opportunities were hard to come by in this one. Boston will be back on the fantasy radar as a WR3 next week against the Titans.

According to Florio, Gase “is expected to take over if McDaniel is fired.” The Chargers go on bye in Week 7, so this is the best time to install a new offense if they really intend to do so. Gase previously served as head coach of the Jets and Dolphins, though those stints are hardly reassuring. His offenses have frequently fallen short of expectations. The 0-6 Chargers are searching for answers, though, and the McDaniel-Justin Herbert pairing does not seem to be working out.

Adams appeared to injure his left knee while running a route in the red zone on the Rams’ final possession. He cut, turned upfield and quickly began limping his way to the back of the end zone, removing himself from the play while grabbing at the inside of his left knee. He subbed himself out after that. No word on his status, but we expect an update soon. Prior to that, the Cardinals’ pass rush made life tough on the Rams’ passing attack. Adams caught his first pass a minute and a half into the second quarter. Stafford was looking his way in the end zone later on the same drive, but Josh Sweat got to him for the strip-sack. Adams banked 16-yard receptions on the sixth and seventh drives, impressively getting wide open via a downfield out route on the second one. If Adams escaped with a minor injury, he would be a WR2 against the Raiders next week.

The Chiefs used more two tight end sets with Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton sidelined. Gray ran a route on around half of KC’s drop backs and matched Travis Kelce with 53 yards. If Kelce struggles to play through the ankle injury he picked up against the Bolts, Gray could step in as the team’s TE1 in Week 7 against the Seahawks.
