Marquise Goodwin scores two long touchdowns in Week 6.

Goodwin was a fantastic target down the field for C.J. Beathard against the Packers, catching four-of-five targets for 126 yards and two touchdowns along with one carry for five yards. The first touchdown was on a deep ball down the middle of the field for 67 yards, and the second was a 30-yarder on a smooth post-corner route. After the second touchdown, the former Olympian had a great long jump celebration in the end zone. It was good to see a healthy Goodwin have this type of connection with Beathard in the game, and it leads to optimism for his fantasy value moving forward. We’ll see if he can keep it going in Week 7 against the Rams.

Will Fuller V (hip) remains limited in practice.

Expect Fuller to be limited in tomorrow’s practice, too, but we’ll have to see how he’s listed on the official injury report for the game when it’s released. The Notre Dame product is likely headed toward a questionable tag before ultimately playing on Sunday.

Jamaal Williams handles seven touches in win over the 49ers.

Williams rushed six times for 29 yards and caught a ten-yard pass as Green Bay survived on Monday Night Football, 33-30. Aaron Jones once again paced the team in carries and yards, but Williams seemed to get more run in the second half with the Packers trailing, and it’s unlikely that any of the team’s runners is able to separate themselves in a three-way timeshare. Consider Williams a risky FLEX option when Green Bay returns from their Week 7 bye to take on the Rams.

The Saints have placed Ted Ginn Jr. on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

Ginn is dealing with a knee injury, and the Saints have opted to place the veteran receiver on injured reserve. This means Ginn will miss at least the next eight weeks of the season, and there’s probably a good chance he’s one of New Orleans’ two possible designated-to-return players. With Ginn out, Cameron Meredith and rookie Tre’Quan Smith figure to benefit the most, with Austin Carr also a name to watch. We believe Smith offers the most upside of the three as a pickup for your fantasy roster.

Matt Breida scores against the Packers.

Breida, who was called doubtful just a few days ago but toughed it out and played tonight, started the game and ran the ball well. He set the tone on the opening drive with a short touchdown run that showed the Niners were ready to play, and he received a solid workload throughout the night while splitting time with Raheem Mostert (12 carries, 87 yards). Overall, Breida had 14 carries for 61 yards and a touchdown. He hobbled off the field at least once and was clearly not at 100%, but there’s no reason to believe he won’t be out there against the Rams next week.

Terrance Williams has been suspended three games, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

A suspension had been looming for Williams, but three games is not as long as it sounded like it might have been. Williams has seemingly fallen out of favor with the Cowboys and is on injured reserve, so he’s not on the fantasy radar right now anyway.

Alfred Morris doesn’t receive a carry in Week 6.

Morris had one carry on a third-and-two play that was negated by a penalty, but he didn’t appear to hit the field for an actual play that counted. This was a bit of a surprise, as it looked like earlier in the week that Morris would be slated to start with Matt Breida being called doubtful with an ankle injury. Instead, Breida played, and it was Raheem Mostert (12 carries for 87 yards) mixing in behind the starter. The Niners attacked the Packers with outside runs, so perhaps this was just a one-week thing, but Morris doesn’t need to be owned in fantasy leagues as no better than No. 2 in the backfield for San Francisco.
