Le’Veon Bell dominates in win over the Chiefs.

Bell handled 35 touches, rushing 32 times for 179 yards and catching three passes for 12 yards. He was able to score once with a three-yard run in the second quarter. This is the game plan the Steelers should go to almost every week, as they are at their best when Bell gets fed to set up the passing game. Le’Veon is a high-end RB1 heading into next Sunday’s matchup with the rival Bengals.

Devin Funchess catches three passes in Week 6.

Funchess was targeted nine times in the game, but he was only able to catch three of them and gained 36 yards. Though his receptions included a couple nice grabs over the middle, a bigger game was expected against Philadelphia. The third-year receiver gets the Bears in Week 7.

Danny Amendola gets five targets against the Jets.

Amendola had three receptions for 40 yards, including a nice 17-yard grab he caught in tight coverage. Amendola would’ve had a key reception on a third down late in the game to help ice the game, but he couldn’t quite come up with it on a diving attempt. He’ll probably tell you he should’ve caught it, but he’s still been making plays for Tom Brady this season. Amendola will be a solid fantasy option against Atlanta in Week 7, especially in PPR leagues.

Kelvin Benjamin catches nine passes against Philadelphia.

Benjamin gained a team-high 99 yards on his nine receptions (13 targets) in the game, working as a reliable for option for Cam Newton throughout the entire game. Though he did have one drop on a hitch-type of route where he looked like he could’ve picked up some nice yardage, Benjamin made some very nice catches and took advantage of the Eagles corners. He’ll remain a good option in Week 7 against the Bears.

Gerald Everett scores first career touchdown in Rams’ win.

The rookie tight end caught one pass against the Jaguars, but he made it count as he took a shuffle pass for a four-yard touchdown. Everett should have many more touchdowns throughout his career, but he’s not yet a fantasy option with his role not that expansive so far in his rookie season.

Christian McCaffrey grabs ten passes in Week 6.

The versatile rookie running back was heavily targeted by Cam Newton, as he drew a team-high 14 targets and caught ten for 56 yards and a touchdown while also rushing four times for eight yards. The touchdown was on a short pass to the flat on a play where he was split out of the backfield and pretty easily got open on the route. McCaffrey was also targeted on a deep shot to the end zone late in the game, but Newton threw the ball out of bounds and didn’t give him a great chance to catch it. And McCaffrey was deep on a wheel route from the slot earlier in the second half, but Newton stepped up to the left and didn’t see him for the likely would-be touchdown. Though he’s not producing a ton on the ground, McCaffrey remains a very good fantasy option and a superb option in PPR leagues.

Jeremy Kerley scores 31-yard touchdown in Week 6 loss.

Kerley also caught another 30-yard pass, finishing with two receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown. The slot receiver is worth a look in PPR leagues as the Jets host the Dolphins in Week 7. He had five catches for 42 yards in their first meeting of 2017.
