We are now six weeks into the NFL season, with Week 6 of fantasy football in the books.\u00a0 More players have fallen short of expectations for fantasy managers, while others are having breakout performances.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look at some players that are rising and falling in the rest of season rankings.<\/p>\n
Dell came to life in Week 6 in the absence of Nico Collins<\/a>, recording seven receptions for 57 yards and scoring his first touchdown of the season<\/a>.\u00a0 Dell saw a team-high nine targets, as he posted double-digit fantasy points for the first time in 2024-25.\u00a0 With Collins set for a stint on IR with a hamstring injury, Dell appears to be the biggest beneficiary.\u00a0 Dell, along with Stefon Diggs, should continue to dominate the air yards over the next few games from C.J. Stroud in this high-powered Texans<\/a> offense.<\/p>\n Engram<\/a> had a massive game in his return from injury, catching 10 passes for 102 yards in Week 6.\u00a0 Engram accounted for nearly half of Trevor Lawrence’s 234 passing yards while possessing a 29% target share, which are absurd numbers for a tight end.\u00a0 The overall TE2 last season showed he can be a league winner when healthy, particularly in PPR formats.\u00a0 Expect Engram to see plenty of targets down the stretch as Lawrence’s safety blanket on this struggling 1-5 Jaguars<\/a> team.<\/p>\n Love and the Packers offense<\/a> have looked formidable this season, scoring no less than 24 points in every game Love has started.\u00a0 Love has thrown 4 passing touchdowns in two out of three games since returning from an MCL sprain, scoring 26.6 fantasy points in a blowout Week 6 win over the Cardinals<\/a>.\u00a0 While the Packers’<\/a> offensive weapons are certainly doing their part, Love’s ability to spread the ball around makes him a difficult quarterback to defend.\u00a0 Love is averaging the third-highest points among QBs in fantasy and is locked in as a top 5 quarterback moving forward.<\/p>\n Robinson<\/a> and Allgeier both had big games in Week 6, combining for 200 rushing yards and three touchdowns against the Panthers.\u00a0 While the plus matchup certainly helped, it was encouraging to see Robinson finally have a breakout game that managers expected from the early-round fantasy pick.\u00a0 Despite Allgeier out-carrying Robinson 18 to 15, the Falcons<\/a> should continue to lean on their improved run game moving forward.\u00a0 Both running backs averaged over 5.8 yards per carry in Week 6 and have another advantageous matchup next week against Seattle’s porous run defense.<\/p>\n Prescott had a miserable Week 6 in a blowout home loss to the Lions<\/a>, throwing for 178 yards and two interceptions.\u00a0 Surely disappointing many fantasy managers with a measly 5.2 points, he looked lost in the pocket and was sacked four times.\u00a0 The entire Cowboys<\/a> offense looks one-dimensional, as they struggle to define an effective run game and seem too reliant on star receiver Ceedee Lamb<\/a>.\u00a0 The Cowboys have a Week 7 bye and will look to regroup before facing the 49ers in Week 8.<\/p>\n Aiyuk has been a huge disappointment this year and recorded only two receptions for 37 yards in Week 6.\u00a0 Despite signing a four year, $120 million contract in September<\/a>, Aiyuk has only recorded over 50 receiving yards in one game this season.\u00a0 This has resulted in poor fantasy outings, only surpassing double-digit fantasy points in Week 5.\u00a0 With so many mouths to feed in San Francisco<\/a>, it seems unlikely that Aiyuk will justify his second\/third-round draft value in fantasy.<\/p>\n The Cardinals<\/a> have had considerable struggles on offense this season, which was on full display in a 34-13 loss to the Packers in Week 6.\u00a0 This resulted in some brutal fantasy performances from all three of Kyler Murray, James Connor, and Marvin Harrison Jr.\u00a0 While Harrison Jr. suffered a concussion<\/a> and cut his day short with zero receptions, Murray and Connor could not pick up the slack in his absence.\u00a0 Murray<\/a> has only thrown more than one passing touchdown in a single game this season and has not surpassed 215 passing yards in the past four weeks.<\/p>\nEvan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars<\/h4>\n
