New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd outplayed his fellow receivers during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. He hauled in three of his four targets for 38 yards in this one. Sadly, a 38-yard performance was the best showing from a Pats wide receiver in this game. Quarterback Cam Newton was unable to get anything going against Denver. Byrd is be a desperation deep league option versus the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry was held without a catch during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was targeted twice and wasn't able to haul in anything here. Quarterback Cam Newton continues to struggle, so Harry's value has been all over the place this season. It's tough to predict what he's going to do on a weekly basis. He'll likely be someone to avoid in most formats against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman continues to struggle with three straight dud performances. In Week 6, Edelman caught two of his six targets for eight yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. He now has seven total receptions over the last three games combined. Quarterback Cam Newton struggled to move the ball on offense and Edelman's value continues to fall. He'll be a low-end WR3 against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
New England Patriots running back James White has been a big part of the passing attack over the last few weeks. He rushed four times for eight yards and caught eight of his nine targets for 65 yards during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Cam Newton struggled to move the ball on offense, so there were plenty of checkdown chances for White here. The Pats continue to heavily involved White in the gameplan, so that should remain the same against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. He'll be a PPR flex option for that game.
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead has seen his role basically disappear with the return of James White. In Week 6, Burkhead rushed five times for 14 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. He was unable to do anything in the receiving game and it pretty much killed his fantasy value. Damien Harris is the lead back and James White is the main receiving back on the Pats. Which means, Burkhead is the odd man out right now. He has pretty much become a desperation deep league option at this point.
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris was set up for a big workload for the Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Sadly, Harris was unable to carry over the momentum for his 100-yard performance in Week 4. He rushed six times for 19 yards and caught one pass for 14 yards in the loss. He basically fell out of the gameplan in the second half with the Pats trailing. Harris is expected to be the lead back once again versus the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. He'll be a low-end RB2 for that one.
New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was unable to get much going against the Denver Broncos in Week 6. He completed 17 of 25 passing attempts for 157 yards and zero touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss. He was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy value with 76 rushing yards and one touchdown. However, it was a fairly disappointing performance from Newton. He might have low-end QB1 value against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker had a busy day in a 30-28 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Tucker hit all three of his field-goal tries while tacking on three extra points in the win. The veteran kicker even got a chance to show off his big leg when he drilled a 55-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Both of his other field goals went for 46 yards. Tucker has now hit 13 of 14 field goals and all of his extra points on the year. He will be on bye in Week 7 before he takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews turned in a quiet performance in a 30-28 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Andrews was targeted four times and finished with two catches for 21 yards in the victory. The Ravens built up a big lead over the Eagles and didn't throw very often in the second half, which didn't allow for Andrews to take advantage of the plus matchup against Philly on Sunday. The star tight end is going to have some games like this, thanks to the run-heavy offense that he plays in. The Ravens are on bye in Week 7 before they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown caught four of six targets for 57 yards in a 30-28 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Brown's receiving numbers wound up leading the Ravens in the win. The Ravens continue to skew very run-heavy on offense, which has capped Brown's weekly ceiling, although he has gone for at least 57 receiving yards in four of his six games this season. Brown and his teammates will be on bye in Week 7 before they take on the rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.
