George Kittle caught five of a season-high 8 targets for 69 yards and a TD in the 49ers win over the Commanders. His performance led to 17.9 PPR points, resulting in a TE5 ranking in Week 6 and his fourth TE1 finish of the season.

Christian McCaffrey handled 16 rush attempts and 10 targets, both season-highs, producing 64 rushing yards and 2 TDs along with 53 receiving yards on 9 receptions. His season-high usage led to a season-high 29.7 PPR points for his first RB1 overall week this season. He accomplished that three times last season.

After capping off the opening drive with a TD to TE George Kittle, Brock Purdy failed to register another in the 49ers' win over the Commanders. But he still completed 21 of 29 attempts for 264 yards while adding another 28 rushing yards to finish as a back-end QB1 in Week 6.

Chig Okonkwo drew a team-high 7 targets in a week when the Commanders lost top WR Terry McLaurin to a non-contact knee injury. He caught all seven for a team-high 69 yards, good for 13.9 PPR points and his first TE1 finish of the season.

Rachaad White stepped in as the Commanders' lead RB with Jacory Croskey-Merritt being placed on IR following a groin injury. He handled a team-high 7 carries for 27 yards while catching four of five targets for 30 yards and a TD. White finished with a season-high 15.7 PPR points on his way to his second RB1 week this season.

Jayden Daniels overcame a slow start to complete 29 of 40 attempts for 300 yards and 2 TDs, while adding 10 yards on the ground in a comeback bid that fell short against the 49ers. His 21.0 PPR points were good for a QB7 finish in Week 6, giving him QB1 finishes in back-to-back weeks since returning from his elbow injury.

49ers WR Mike Evans missed the second half of Monday night's game vs. the Commanders with Achilles trouble. Evans entered this one questionable with the Achilles after missing practice all week. He caught 3 of 5 targets for 94 yards in the first half but looked noticeably slowed in the open field. He aggravated the Achilles issue with about a minute left in the first half, hobbled back to the locker room, and was ruled out at halftime. We'll see if Evans is able to heal up enough to play vs. the Falcons this coming Sunday. The 49ers get a Week 8 bye.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin injured his left knee on a non-contact play in the first quarter of Monday night's game vs. the 49ers. He was put in a brace and carted off. We'll update McLaurin's status when we know more, but this clearly looks like a serious injury.

Update: McLaurin has been ruled out with a knee injury.

49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles, rib) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Commanders. He missed practice all week as he battled Achilles soreness. That could play a factor tonight, but Evans also boasts a big ceiling against Washington’s 27th-ranked WR defense.

Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is active for tonight’s game vs. the 49ers. He was listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Friday and Saturday. Diggs carries elevated risk tonight but is available if you were waiting on him.

Rams WR Davante Adams is expected to miss 6-10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring, HC Sean McVay said Monday. Adams went down on a non-contact play late in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals.

The Vikings have designated RB Jordan Mason to return to practice. That clears him to practice Wednesday for the first time since landing on IR with a thumb fracture after Week 1. The team will still need to activate Mason from IR before he can play.

Texans WR Tank Dell will play vs. the Giants this weekend, HC Demeco Ryans said Monday. It'll be Dell's first game since his December 2024 multi-ligament knee injury. He's returning to a WR corps led by Nico Collins that just added Marvin Harrison and that's getting strong play from Jaylin Noel. Dell has a lot of work to do to carve out a significant role and isn't worth adding to fantasy rosters at this point.

The Rams placed K Blake Grupe (knee) on IR. He was just signed last week to replace K Harrison Mevis but went down with a knee injury early in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. The Rams are now back in the kicker market. We'll see who they sign this week.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs will return to practice Wednesday, but the team apparently hasn't decided yet whether he'll play Sunday at Detroit, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

The Commanders are placing RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt on IR with his groin injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. JCM was already ruled out for tonight's game vs. the 49ers but will now miss at least 3 more. We won't see him until Week 11 at the earliest, making Croskey-Merritt droppable in shallower fantasy leagues. Washington activated RB Jeremy McNichols from IR in a corresponding move. He joins Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler in the backfield. We're expecting White to control the work, but we'll see what the backfield looks like tonight.

The Patriots placed WR Romeo Doubs on IR with the shoulder injury he suffered in the Week 6 win over the Jets. We don't have any further details on Doubs' injury, but he's out at least the next 4 games. Doubs can be dropped in most redraft fantasy leagues. His absence leaves A.J. Brown and Demario Douglas as New England's top 2 WRs, with Efton Chism and Kyle Williams behind them. WR Mack Hollins (calf) is eligible to come off IR in Week 9.

Patriots WR A.J. Brown returned from a high ankle sprain to record 3 catches for 27 yards on 10 targets. The film might be even uglier than the box score suggests.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten rushed 12 times for only 39 yards in Sunday’s loss to Houston. But he delivered through the air with 4 catches, 48 yards, and a pair of TDs. And his fantasy day should have been even better.

Texans RB Woody Marks operated as the clear lead back in Sunday’s win over Jacksonville, his first game without David Montgomery. Marks led Jawhar Jordan in snap share (78% to 22%), carry share (61% to 26%), and target share (10% to 3%). But his lackluster efficiency left fantasy managers wanting more.
