These players saw their fantasy values increase or decrease most based on their performances in Week 6:
Sizzlers
QB Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Winston exploded in his first game back as a starter, throwing for 395 yards and four touchdowns. The offense around him is a good one and the Bucs defense should continue to give up points, which will make Winston a hot fantasy commodity the rest of the way.
Week 6 fantasy heroes, zeros:Gurley goes wild, Evans disappears
WR Albert Wilson, Miami Dolphins: It did take overtime to push Wilson into the week’s top five fantasy receivers. He caught a pair of long touchdowns from backup quarterback Brock Osweiler, who played surprisingly well filling in for the injured Ryan Tannehill.
WR Cole Beasley, Dallas Cowboys: Beasley masterfully found the gaps in the Jacksonville Jaguars defense and operated in those seams all day long, catching nine passes for 101 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
TE Austin Hooper, Atlanta Falcons: He has flown under the radar in tight end-starved fantasy leagues, but that’s no longer the case after racking up nine receptions for 70-plus yards in consecutive weeks.
TE David Njoku, Cleveland Browns: Njoku scored his first touchdown of the season and was targeted a season-high 12 times in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. With seven or more times in every game but one, he has quickly become a favorite of QB Baker Mayfield’s.
Fizzlers
WR Jordy Nelson, Oakland Raiders: Catching just two passes for 6 yards, Nelson fizzled in a game that saw both quarterback Derek Carr and wideout Amari Cooper leave early due to injury.
WR Corey Davis, Tennessee Titans: Baltimore sacked Marcus Mariota 11 times in a lopsided game where the offense couldn't get anything started. The entire offense needs to be downgraded if the Titans can’t protect their quarterback.
WR John Brown, Baltimore Ravens: After seeing 14 targets last week, Brown disappointed with just two receptions on three targets while Michael Crabtree and Willie Snead received the majority of the receiving work.
