Welcome to the Week 6 main slate edition of RotoBaller's NFL DFS Bargain Bin for the 2024 NFL season, where the goal is to touch on some potentially mispriced players across the industry who find themselves in favorable matchups and/or suddenly expanded roles. Each week, I’ll give you my thoughts on where there may be […]

Jordan Mason Questionable To Return

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) is considered questionable to return during Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Mason appears to have suffered a shoulder injury during the second quarter of this Week 6 contest. He headed to the locker room with the trainers, so Mason is currently uncertain to return. He had […]

Rachaad White Misses Thursday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) was absent during Thursday's practice session. This is a downgrade for White who was limited to open the week. This is obviously not a good sign heading into Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. However, Friday's practice will go a long way to deciding […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Has His Reps Limited Again

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) continues to work his way through a shoulder injury and was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Etienne was also limited in all three practices last week before suiting up in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, but […]

Christian McCaffrey Targeting Early November Return

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is targeting an early November return from Injured Reserve. McCaffrey was technically eligible to come off IR to play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks, but that was never going to happen. The fact that CMC has yet to practice means he still […]

Trey Sermon Returns To Full Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon (collarbone) was held out of Wednesday's practice but was a full participant just a day later on Thursday. Sermon was a popular waiver-wire pickup last week after Jonathan Taylor suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Taylor did not play in the Week […]

49ers Not Looking To Jordan Mason As A Pass-Catcher

The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and the team clearly aren't looking for running back Jordan Mason as a receiver out of the backfield. Mason is still building his chemistry with Purdy as the team's lead back in 2024 with Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) injured. No RB who has run […]

Bijan Robinson Pops Up On Thursday's Injury Report

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson (hamstring) was added to the Week 6 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Thursday. Robinson was a full-go on Wednesday. His downgrade on Thursday is most likely just the Falcons giving him a little rest as the team prepares to take on the division-rival Carolina Panthers […]

Audric Estime Could Return For Week 6

Barring a setback, signs are pointing toward Denver Broncos rookie running back Audric Estime (ankle) being activated from Injured Reserve for Sunday's Week 6 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a source. Estime missed the required four games while on IR and was designated to return on Wednesday. He was listed as […]

Zack Moss, Chase Brown Both Limited On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running backs Zack Moss (foot) and Chase Brown (quadriceps) were both limited in Thursday's practice. Moss did not practice on Wednesday, while Brown is a new addition to the Week 6 injury report. Moss' ability to return to practice a day later is good news for his status this week, but the Bengals' […]

All other Premium Tools and Content can be accessed on the premium dashboard. This piece looks at the top running backs or wide receivers to build your cash or tournament lineups around.

Jaylen Warren Remains Limited On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) remained limited during Thursday's practice, according to Nick Farabaugh of PennLive. Warren was initially deemed "doubtful" earlier in the week for Sunday's game, according to his head coach, Mike Tomlin. However, seeing him at practice on consecutive days, albeit in a limited capacity, could open the door for […]

Alvin Kamara Returns To Practice On Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip/hand) was seen at practice on Thursday, according to Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Football Network. This is a great sign, as the star running back did not participate during Wednesday's session. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report as it should provide clarity on Kamara's status. […]

Devin Singletary Logs Limited Session On Thursday

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) logged a limited session during Thursday's practice, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Singletary was also a limited participant in Wednesday's session. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report, as it should provide clarity on his status heading into the weekend, but seeing him […]

NFL DFS Game Stacks of the Week: Week 6 (2024)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Now, THAT's more like it! After a rough Week 4, I steamrolled my way through both DFS and betting this week. My cash lineup beat over 70% of head-to-head opponents, and my Burrow-Chase-Higgins stack finished top-10 in two GPPs. The bye weeks continue into […]

Gus Edwards Not An Option In Most Week 6 Lineups

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (ankle) has missed two practices coming out of the bye week and is not an option in most Week 6 fantasy lineups. J.K. Dobbins has taken over the Chargers backfield as is the clear starter in a run-first offense. Despite the Bolts relying on the run all season, […]

J.K. Dobbins Has Another Tough Matchup In Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins has another tough matchup in a Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos. Dobbins got off to an excellent start this season with huge games in Weeks 1 and 2, but then hit some of the league's best run defenses in Weeks 3 and 4. Week 6 features […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Absent From Practice On Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) was not spotted at the team's open portion of practice on Thursday, marking the second straight day he has missed. A Thursday "DNP" is always concerning, so fantasy managers should start to prepare for the possibility of him missing the Week 6 contest against the Houston Texans. […]

Joe Mixon At Practice On Thursday

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is at practice on Thursday for the first time this week. The former Cincinnati Bengal is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and hasn't played since Week 2, so his return to practice is promising for a potential Week 6 return to game action. Mixon was excellent in the […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Not Spotted At Thursday's Practice

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) was not spotted during the open portion of Thursday's practice, meaning he's likely to be listed as a "DNP" with a knee injury for the second straight day. Robinson missed the first day of practice last week and still played, but opening the week with two straight […]

James Cook Misses Second Straight Practice

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (foot, toe) is not practicing on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice with foot and toe injuries. The third-year ball-carrier out of Georgia appears to be in real danger of missing the Week 6 game against the New York Jets, but the game is on Monday, so fantasy managers will […]

Javonte Williams – Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB27 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams has had a rough start to the 2024 season. He averaged 6.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the first month, totaling nine or fewer in every contest. However, the former North Carolina star has played well […]

Chase Brown - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: After seeing just seven rushing attempts through the first two weeks of the season, Chase Brown has begun to emerge as valuable fantasy contributor and should be started in all standard formats this weekend. Since Week 3, Brown has had at least seven carries […]

Trey Sermon – Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB36 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon was a popular waiver wire target last week. Jonathan Taylor missed the Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with a high-ankle sprain, giving Sermon his first start this season. The veteran running back had 10 rushing attempts for […]

Trey Sermon Returns To Practice On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon (collarbone) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sitting out the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars and not practicing yet this week, Sermon's status is worth watching closely. It's looking like Taylor is on track to miss his second […]

Jonathan Taylor Missing From Practice On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was not seen at practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Taylor suffered a minor high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and didn't play in the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. The fact that he has yet […]

Todd Downing To Take Over Offensive Play-Calling For Jets

New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said on Thursday that passing-game coordinator Todd Downing will take over the offensive play-calling from offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett after the organization fired head coach Robert Saleh earlier this week. Instead of also firing Hackett, the Jets instead are demoting him. Downing will have "the full say […]

Rico Dowdle - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: After sharing the Dallas backfield with Ezekiel Elliott during the first three weeks of the season, Rico Dowdle has begun to emerge as the lead option and should be viewed as a high-floor RB2 this weekend. During the first three weeks of the season, […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Still Jaguars' Featured Running Back

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) is still the team's featured running back when he was asked after the Week 5 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts if Tank Bigsby will start to see an increase in carries. "No. Travis is our guy. Tank had a good […]

49ers vs. Seahawks: NFL Inactives and Injury Updates for TNF Include George Kittle, DK Metcalf, Noah Fant, Fred Warner, Jake Moody, Chris Conley, and more

Week 6 NFL action begins with an exciting Thursday Night Football contest between two NFC West teams with plenty of offensive weapons. Both teams are coming off losses, and the 49ers would drop to 2-4 if they suffer another defeat. It's an early-season contest, but it feels like there is a lot to play for. […]
