Conclusion

Mark Andrews continues to show that in fantasy football, you need to have patience when a player comes back from a severe injury. Some in the fake football world asked if Andrews was droppable three weeks ago. Andrews has three solid games, and his investors are rejoicing. Brock Bowers continues to change the narrative that rookie TEs can’t succeed immediately. David Njoku returned to form after injury and a switch of QBs. 

It was a low-scoring week for WRs with only five over 20 PPR points compared to 13 for the RBs. Brian Thomas Jr continues to be the best value among the rookie WRs, and veteran Amari Cooper found his new home in Buffalo to his liking. George Pickens seemed to like the QB change in Pittsburgh, and Rashod Bateman came up with a big game on Monday Night. 

Derrick Henry and Joe Mixon continue to show that they are still young and better with their new teams. Richard White returned from injury to post a great game in a deep RB room in Tampa. Tank Bigsby took advantage of an injury to the starter, and Kareem Hunt continues to show that he is an excellent fit for the Chiefs. Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield had terrific games on Monday Night Football, and Lamar is the favorite for Fantasy Football MVP at QB. 

It continues to be a down year for the QB position in fake football, with only six players over 20 points this week. Injuries will shake things up all over the league heading into week seven. Good luck!
