Here are my Week 6 notes. They were posted later than usual this week due to Hurricane Milton, which put us out of power for more than a day (all is well otherwise).

 

Jacksonville at Chicago (London)

Don’t sell Travis Etienne Jr. short just yet. The last time the Jaguars gave a bunch of carries to Tank Bigsby, they came back the next week and returned that work to Etienne. This may be a matter of workload management, so be sure to get Etienne into lineups and don’t rely too heavily on Bigsby.

 

Washington at Baltimore

Austin Ekeler should be a flex in most leagues, but don’t forget that Jeremy McNichols has three rushing touchdowns the past two weeks. If McNichols gets the goal line carries against this week, Ekeler may have a lower than hoped for scoring ceiling.

 

Arizona at Green Bay

Don’t sell Kyler Murray short. He’s putting up huge numbers on the ground and this game could be one of the higher scoring matchups in Week 6. That’s why he’s fourth on my QB rankings board and thus should be in most lineups.

 

Houston at New England

The Texans foolishly wore Mixon out earlier this season with 30 carries in Week 1. They won’t make that same mistake again now that he’s missed games but do expect that they will cap his work at 18-20 scrimmage plays. That should still be worthy of RB1/RB2 status this week.
