Tevin Coleman scores first touchdown of the year.

Coleman carried nine times for 32 yards and a touchdown versus the Dolphins, while adding a four-yard reception on his only target in the passing game. The Dolphins did a very good job of limiting the rush offense of Atlanta for the most part, but Coleman was able to break a 20-yard run in the game. The touchdown was on a tough six-yard run where Coleman just got into the end zone. The third-year back continues to be a high-floor fantasy option and will be a good option in fantasy lineups in a likely high-scoring matchup with New England next week.

Terrance West (calf) “expected to miss some time.”

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says West won’t have an “extended absence” because of his calf injury, so it sounds like he’ll miss a game or two. Javorius Allen and Alex Collins will handle the load with West out of the lineup, and hopefully West is able to get back soon. He doesn’t need to be kept on fantasy rosters if you are looking for roster space.

Devonta Freeman gets 11 touches in Week 6.

The Dolphins, for the most part, did a very good job of limiting Atlanta on the ground. Freeman had nine carries for 68 yards, with a long of 44 yards accounting for most of the damage done; and he also added two receptions for 11 yards. Freeman should find some more holes in Week 7 against the Patriots.

Dwayne Harris is getting foot surgery.

His fractured foot is to the fifth metatarsal bone, a common injury that many athletes have had. Hopefully Harris is ready to go for 2018 training camp. The Giants need others to chip in on special teams for Harris for the rest of the year.

George Kittle gets eight targets in 49ers’ loss.

The rookie tight end continues to get a good amount of playing time, as he caught four passes for 46 yards against the Redskins. Rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard seems to have a good connection with Kittle and isn’t afraid to let it rip down the seams to his tight ends. Kittle gets the Cowboys next week.

Demarcus Robinson caught one pass in Sunday night’s win over the Texans.

It went for 16 yards. The big news of the game for Robinson came when Chris Conley got injured, as Robinson might simply take his place in the starting lineup for the rest of the season if Albert Wilson keeps his usual role. However, it probably won’t lead to much fantasy success in an offense centered around Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill.

David Njoku held to zero yards in Week 6 loss.

The rookie was able to catch two passes, but they went for three and negative-three yards. Njoku showed good chemistry with Kevin Hogan off the bench, but they couldn’t get anything going in Hogan’s first career start. Njoku should only be owned in dynasty leagues, but he’s a great asset there.
