Antonio Brown caught eight passes for 155 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 19-13 win over the Chiefs.

The highlight was a 51-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to put the Steelers up 19-10, as a Big Ben pass bounced off Phillip Gaines’ helmet and Brown was able to snatch it and avoid a hit from the safety before sprinting down the left sideline for a score. AB has really turned it on over the past couple weeks, and he now has exactly 700 receiving yards through six games. He’s obviously a top-end WR1 next week against Cincinnati.

Melvin Gordon goes off for second straight week.

After not getting enough touches against the Eagles in Week 4, Gordon has been a big-time workhorse for the Chargers, getting 26+ touches in two straight weeks. Against the Raiders, Gordon carried 25 times for 83 yards and a touchdown while adding nine receptions (on 12 targets) for 67 yards and a touchdown through the air. The first touchdown came on an athletic leap on a goal line carry, and the second touchdown was on a six-yard screen pass in the fourth quarter. Despite a matchup with the vaunted Broncos defense next week, Gordon remains an RB1 option that needs to be in your lineup. Gordon, who has become a scoring machine in PPR leagues, caught a touchdown against Denver in Week 1.

Chris Ivory plays great as a receiver out of the backfield in Week 6.

Ivory caught nine of ten passes for 74 yards and a touchdown while carrying twice for three yards against the Rams. Ivory’s touchdown was a 22-yarder on a screen pass where he ran up the sideline basically untouched for the score. Ivory’s previous career-high was six receptions, which he had last season with Jacksonville. Don’t expect him to be this involved as a receiver moving forward, but he’s definitely someone the Jags can try to get the ball to in open space more.

Jacquizz Rodgers handles four touches in Week 6 loss.

Rodgers rushed three times for one yard and caught a six-yard pass. With Doug Martin back, Rodgers isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Marqise Lee gets six touches in Week 6.

Lee had 100 total yards against the Rams, catching five of ten targets for 83 yards and gaining 17yards on one carry in the game. He has at least 49 yards in four of the last five games and appears to be the clear number one guy for Blake Bortles with Allen Robinson (ACL) done for the year. He might have some down weeks in an extremely run-heavy attack, but Lee is a FLEX option against Indy in Week 7.

Doug Martin rushed 14 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals.

He also caught an 11-yard pass. Martin’s one-yard score in the fourth quarter saved his day, as a good Arizona front made things tough for the running game of the Bucs. He gets another difficult matchup with the Bills next Sunday, but Martin remains a quality RB2.

Blake Bortles throws 35 times in Week 6.

The Jaguars threw more than they would have liked against the Rams, as they were down for most of the game. Bortles was 23/35 for 241 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while he was also sacked five times and fumbled twice (both were recovered by Jacksonville) in the Jaguars’ loss. Bortles’ touchdown was on a screen pass to Chris Ivory, and the interception was on a pass that was deflected and off Marcedes Lewis into Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman’s hands. The Jaguars face the Colts in Week 7.
