Show Notes
Week 6 roundup, late and night games (00:31)
Breaking down all the NFL action from Week 6's late and night games
ARI 37, CLE 14
Kyler Murray playing MVP-like football
It's becoming more of a James Conner backfield as opposed to Chase Edmonds
DeAndre Hopkins comes to life while still dealing with the injured ribs
Will have TE Zach Ertz who they just traded for from PHI
Kareem Hunt heading to the IR (calf); if Nick Chubb out with his own calf injury, fire up D'Ernest Johnson
Donovan Peoples-Jones stepping up with more defensive attention focused on Odell Beckham Jr; a waiver wire must add
Next up: ARI hosting HOU, CLE hosting DEN (Thurs night)
LV 34, DEN 24
Thought this team would be down for the count after losing HC Jon Gruden due to those emails
Derek Carr back in stride again
Still a timeshare with Josh Jacobs & Kenyan Drake
The LV receivers' pecking order: Waller, Renfrow then Ruggs/Edwards
DEN need to cut down the dropbacks for Teddy Bridgewater; too susceptible to hits
Must get more for the RB tandem of Melvin Gordon III & Javonte Williams
Noah Fant, who's playing solid ball, has a fine outing
Next up: LV hosting PHI, DEN visits CLE (Thurs night)
DAL 35, NE 29 (OT)
DAL offensive line does great job in keeping Dak Prescott clean & letting him operate
Ezekiel Elliot seems fresh now in this 60-40 split in the backfield with Tony Pollard
For those with shares in CeeDee Lamb should be pleased with this performance after a few weeks of being forgotten in the pass game
The buy-low window has officially shut in trying to acquire Damien Harris; keep in eye on Rhamondre Stevenson who could be the 3rd down RB
Next up: DAL on a bye; NE hosting NYJ
PIT 23, SEA 20 (OT) (Sun night)
Big Ben gets it done despite the rumblings about his arm strength
Najee Harris, the unquestioned bellcow RB, continues to get all the work
Alex Collins does nicely filling in for Chris Carson (IR/neck); help is on the way with Rashaad Penny coming off of IR
It seems that Geno Smith has a better connection with DK Metcalf as opposed to Tyler Lockett
Next up: PIT on a bye, SEA hosting NO
TEN 34, BUF 31 (Mon night)
Let's not fool ourselves any longer: Derrick Henry should be the 1st RB coming off the board in future drafts regardless of league types
Nice to see AJ Brown back to his old self after overcoming his hamstring injury
BUF run game totally shut down in this one
Great to see Stefon Diggs having the breakout game those with shares in him were waiting for
Bad news: Dawson Knox leaving the game with a broken hand
Next up: TEN hosting KC, BUF on a bye
Waiver wire picks:
QB: Tua Tagovailoa (MIA), Sam Darnold (CAR), Matt Ryan (ATL)
RB: Darrell Williams (KC). Khalil Herbert (CHI), Chuba Hubbard (CAR), Alex Collins (SEA), D'Ernest Johnson (CLE), Rhamondre Stevenson (NE)
WR: Christian Kirk (ARI), Jakobi Meyers (NE), Sterling Shepard (NYG), Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (TEN), Donovan Peoples-Jones (CLE), Kendrick Bourne (NE)
TE: Ricky Seals-Jones (WAS), CJ Uzomah (CIN), Zach Ertz (ARI)
