Fantasy football pickups: Vidal steps up; Dart, Darnold being underrated
"The sixth Sunday of the NFL season featured another fantastic performance from Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle, another touchdown from Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens, and continued development from precocious New England Patriots QB Drake Maye as a top-10 fantasy option. Oh, there were injuries, too, with excellent wide receivers Puka Nacua (ankle), Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) and Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) leaving games prematurely. Fantasy managers must monitor their status for the upcoming week."
"Each Monday, before the current NFL week ends, we will identify players available in at least 50% of ESPN standard leagues worthy of your attention, from standard formats to deeper options. The NFL is a weekly league, and player valuation and roles seldom remain stagnant. It does not matter how you acquire players for your fantasy rosters, just that you get them."
"Dart was active in fewer than 10% of ESPN standard leagues in Week 6. That must change after Dart scored 23.6 points in a stunning win over the beleaguered Philadelphia Eagles. Although Dart remains an unfinished product as a passer, he has notably rushed for more than 50 yards in each of his three starts, scoring touchdowns in two of them."
Week 6 featured standout performances from Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle, a touchdown from Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens, and growth from New England Patriots QB Drake Maye as a top-10 fantasy option. Injuries left Puka Nacua (ankle), Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) and Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) exiting games and require monitoring for upcoming weeks. Players available in at least 50% of ESPN standard leagues merit consideration for roster additions in both standard and deeper formats. Jaxson Dart (34.4% rostered) scored 23.6 fantasy points in a win over the Philadelphia Eagles and has rushed for more than 50 yards in each of his three starts, making him a viable QB1 option despite passing limitations.
