Orson Charles catches one pass in Week 6.

Charles’ lone reception against the Chargers went for eight yards. Charles is a great real-life presence for the Browns, but he shouldn’t be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Cameron Brate scores in Bucs’ loss.

Brate was targeted just one time against the Falcons, but he made it count by catching a 15-yard touchdown on a back-shoulder throw. It was Brate’s third straight game with a touchdown, and the connection he has with Jameis Winston is strong, but O.J. Howard currently looks like the top tight end for Tampa Bay. Consider Brate a touchdown-dependent TE1 option.

Antonio Callaway catches two-point conversion in Browns’ loss.

Callaway caught a two-point conversion on the fourth quarter, but overall he had just two receptions (on ten targets) for nine yards against the Chargers. The rookie receiver is very talented, but he’s been inconsistent to start his NFL career. Week 7 against the Buccaneers is a potential blowup spot in a great matchup if you want to take a change on him as a FLEX option, though.

JuJu Smith-Schuster goes over 100 yards in 28-21 win over the Bengals.

Smith-Schuster caught seven of a team-high ten targets for 111 yards, with the highlight coming on an acrobatic grab near the goal line that was ruled inches short of a touchdown as he landed on his head. The second-year receiver started shaky with a couple drops in the first quarter, but he was key late in a huge divisional win, including a two-point conversion on a quick screen. Fantasy owners will have to look elsewhere in Week 7 with JuJu heading into the bye, but he’s solidified himself as an every-week WR1/WR2 option when they return to face the Browns.

Jarvis Landry catches two passes in Week 6.

Landry was shut down by the Chargers, who limited him to 11 yards on his two receptions (nine targets) in Cleveland’s blowout loss. It was an uncharacteristic performance from the normally high-floor receiver, but he’ll look to bounce back against the Bucs in Week 7.

Stevan Ridley handles one touch in Week 6 win.

It was a two-yard carry, and he wasn’t targeted in the passing game. Ridley has little standalone value behind James Conner and/or Le’Veon Bell as Pittsburgh heads into the bye.

David Njoku scores first touchdown of the season in Week 6.

Njoku was targeted a team-high 12 times against the Chargers, catching seven passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. The score was on a fade route in the fourth quarter, and it was Njoku’s first touchdown of the year six weeks in. The second-year tight end has been much better with Baker Mayfield under-center for Cleveland, catching at least five passes for 52 yards in each of Mayfield’s three starts. He’s an obvious TE1 in a great matchup with Tampa Bay next week.
