Tuesday Evening Edition
Week
6 Sunday Heroes
Not
the Usual Suspects
In week 6 there were a lot of big names
like Le’Veon Bell, Melvin Gordon, and Antonio Brown on the board scoring well
for fantasy owners, but these were your not The Usual Suspects putting up
numbers on Sunday as well.
He’s not been the best each week, but it
seems every week Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer is in the fold. Palmer,
the No.8 fantasy QB through week 6 posted a solid line of 18 of 22 passing for
283 passing yards with 3 touchdowns and a pick; he was the No.4 fantasy QB for
the week.
In a back-up role Jaguars running back
Chris Ivory got a lot of play in the passing game on Sunday. Ivory was targeted
10 times, catching 9 balls for 74 receiving yards and a touchdown; good enough
for the No.7 fantasy RB in PPR for week 6.
The Giants running back Orleans Darkwa had
a Sunday night breakout performance against the league’s number one run defense
(Broncos). Darkwa carried the pigskin 21 times for 117 rushing yards finishing
the week as the No.17 fantasy RB in PPR (he was even better in standard at
No.11).
The Lions passing game got a boost from
wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. He’s been relatively quiet this season, but on
Sunday he erupted for 21.6 fantasy points in PPR with a stat line of 6/96/1. He
was the No.4 fantasy WR in week 6 (PPR format).
In the Sunday night Mile High Meltdown by
the Broncos, the Giants rookie tight end Evan Engram provided plenty of heat.
The rookie pass catcher hauled in 5 passes for 71 yards with a touchdown on 7
targets, good enough for the No.3 fantasy TE for Week 6 (in PPR).
That's My Take.
