Adam Thielen caught nine passes for 97 yards in Sunday’s win over the Packers.

Thielen operated as the team’s number-one receiver with Stefon Diggs (groin) out, and he continued his impressive season. The only thing missing right now is a touchdown, but they will hopefully come soon. Thielen has a difficult matchup with Baltimore in Week 7, but he should remain in fantasy lineups, particularly in PPR leagues, and especially if Diggs is out again.

Brett Hundley throws three interceptions in relief of Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) as Packers fall to Vikings.

Hundley was 18/33 for 157 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. He was put in a tough spot on the road against one of the league’s best defenses, as even Aaron Rodgers has struggled against Minnesota recently. Hundley might be the starter for the rest of the season, and he should be a lot better with a full week of practice to prepare from now on. Despite the biased sports media’s expected clamoring for Colin Kaepernick, he is not an upgrade on Hundley, whom might be the best backup in the league and has spent two-plus years learning from Rodgers. Quarterback is pretty deep right now, but the former UCLA star is worth a look as a streamer when the matchup is right, including next week against the Saints.

Marcus Mariota: “I feel a lot better.”

The third-year quarterback hopes he is able to play this week after missing last week with a hamstring injury. The Titans play on Monday night, so the first official practice of the week will be tomorrow, but it sounds like Mariota is absolutely headed in the right direction. Expect him to be at least limited in practice tomorrow.

Sam Bradford has no additional damage to his knee.

After Bradford left last night’s game versus the Bears, the team had him undergo and MRI. Thankfully, there is still no structural damage, but the knee obviously gave him issues and he couldn’t do much before getting pulled last night to risk further injury. Unfortunately, there’s still a chance Bradford isn’t healthy enough for the rest of the season—the Vikings aren’t going to throw him out there if he looked like he did last night, because it’d almost certainly lead to a more serious injury.

Michael Hoomanawanui scores in Week 6.

Hoomanawanui caught two passes for 27 yards and a touchdown against the Lions, with the touchdown coming on a play-action pass at the goal line that left him wide open. He’s not a recommended fantasy option, despite his contributions for his team in real life.

Matthew Stafford throws 52 times in loss to the Saints.

The Lions dropped to 3-3 in one of the wildest games imaginable, as the game was 52-38 with eight total turnovers and a near-comeback by the Lions after they were down early. Stafford had five turnovers in the game, as he was 25/52 for 312 yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and two lost fumbles. New Orleans’ defense sacked Stafford five times and got constant pressure, which included a sack (where Stafford probably held the ball too long) and a wild interception in the end zone by Cameron Jordan, who just put his arms up and picked it off while standing in the end zone. The Lions would probably like to get back out there after a game like that, but they have a Week 7 bye before facing Pittsburgh in Week 8.

Rex Burkhead (ribs) was limited in practice today.

There was thought that he might be a full participant, but it’s only Wednesday and his activity could be ramped up as the week progresses. Burkhead has missed the last three games.
