Mike Boone rips off 20-yard run in win over the Cardinals.

It came on Boone’s only touch of the game. The rookie is unlikely to become a fantasy contributor with a limited role behind Dalvin Cook and/or Latavius Murray. He gets the Jets next Sunday.

Latavius Murray goes off in featured role as Minnesota tops Arizona.

Drawing a start with Dalvin Cook (hamstring) a surprising inactive, Murray rushed 24 times for 155 yards and one touchdown, also adding a three-yard reception. It’s strange that it took the Vikings so long to feed Latavius after he was great for them in 2017, but he scored on a 21-yard burst in the first quarter and was strong the rest of the way on Sunday. Unfortunately, Cook’s injury seems to be very troublesome, so Murray could be in for a featured role for at least another week. If so, he is an easy RB2 play against the Jets next Sunday with the hopes that Minnesota doesn’t suddenly abandon the running game.

Kirk Cousins, Vikings improve to 3-2-1 with 27-17 win over the Cardinals.

Cousins was 24/34 for 233 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, adding four carries for 14 yards and a score on the ground. He also lost a fumble that Arizona returned for a touchdown. Minnesota’s quarterback connected with Adam Thielen for a score and the receiver’s sixth 100-yard game of the season, but Cousins has now failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in three of the past four games. Still, he remains a QB1 option for a Week 7 matchup against the Jets in New York.

DeVante Parker doesn’t catch a pass in Week 6.

In his return from a quadricep injury and his second game of the season, Parker barely played for the Dolphins. Perhaps Parker just needs to work his way back into the swing of things after missing so much time, but the former first-rounder is off the fantasy radar for now.

Mike Gesicki catches one pass against the Bears.

Gesicki’s lone reception in the Week 6 win went for 11 yards. The talented rookie tight end isn’t a recommended fantasy option yet.

Jakeem Grant catches three passes in Week 6.

Grant gained 32 yards on his three receptions (four targets) against the Bears, and he didn’t get any opportunities as a returner. Grant is a clear top-four receiver for Miami right now, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option.

Kenny Stills catches one pass in Week 6.

Stills’ lone reception went for 35 yards, but he also had a two-point conversion to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Stills remains a risky boom/bust FLEX option.
