Tucker Kraft’s Knee Check Ends With 37 Yards, While Christian Watson Leaves Fantasy Managers Wanting More Tucker Kraft returned from a knee injury check and finished with 37 yards on five receptions in Week 6. Christian Watson finished with 64 yards on three catches after dropping a sure touchdown, while the running game remains the sore spot on offense. Fantasy angle Tucker Kraft was checked out for a knee injury but returned and finished with 37 yards on five receptions in Week 6. That return keeps Kraft in the fantasy conversation, with 37 yards on five receptions after the knee injury check.
- Fantasy Frank
Christian Watson dropped a sure touchdown in Week 6 against Dallas and finished with 64 yards on just three catches. The 64 yards are useful, but the dropped touchdown is the swing that keeps Watson from a bigger fantasy result. Running game still the sore spot on offense that must improve. Green Bay’s passing game overcomes uneven night, but the running game remains the cleaner fantasy concern.

Josh Allen's 255-Yard, Two-Touchdown Line Leads the Fantasy Signals Josh Allen was 23-of-33 for 255 yards and two touchdowns, while the Chiefs scored nine points on their first two possessions to move to 5-0. The Jets' young talent continues to shine, but coaching mistakes and poor execution proved costly. Matchup signals The Chiefs scored nine points on their first two possessions of Sunday's home game against the Chargers, and that would be all they'd need to move their record to 5-0 on the season. For fantasy managers, Josh Allen's 23-of-33 passing line for 255 yards and two touchdowns is the cleanest production signal in this group.
- Podcaster Pete
Allen remains the strongest roster angle based on the available numbers. The Jets' young talent continues to shine, but coaching mistakes and poor execution proved costly in a loss to the Patriots. That makes the Jets a sharper matchup-analysis watch than an automatic fantasy start.

Emma Pravecek, packers.com QB Jordan Love GREEN BAY – The Packers by no means played their cleanest game Sunday night. But in beating the Cowboys 23-13 at Lambeau Field, for all their flaws, the Packers truly triumphed as a team. What does that mean? It means teammates were picking one another up to help erase, or at least mitigate, mistakes. When receiver Matthew Golden was flagged for taunting after a 37-yard reception in the first quarter, backing up what would've been a first-and-goal to the 24-yard line, running back Pierre Strong Jr. got the offense right back into scoring position with a nifty catch-and-run to convert on third-and-13.

When quarterback Jordan Love threw an interception late in the first quarter with the score 7-0, safety Evan Williams intercepted Dak Prescott six snaps later to keep the Cowboys off the scoreboard. When Golden dropped a deep ball that should've been a touchdown, Love converted the next third down with a 13-yard keeper to maintain pressure on the Dallas defense. And when Golden barely missed what would've been a spectacular, back-shoulder TD catch alon

Emma Pravecek, packers.com CB Brandon Cisse GREEN BAY – The Packers have taken hit after hit after hit on defense this season and yet Jonathan Gannon and his unit keep finding a way forward. Sunday night might have been the best one yet. Despite having three defensive linemen, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper and All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons on its reserve lists, Green Bay and its wily defensive coordinator still had the Dallas Cowboys all out of sorts during a largely one-sided 23-13 victory in front of 77,383 at Lambeau Field. Dak Prescott averaged just 4.8 yards per passing attempt, throwing the ball 54 times for 258 yards.

While Prescott threw a late touchdown, he was picked off twice in the second quarter as the Packers parlayed those takeaways into a 17-0 halftime lead. The Cowboys failed to establish their ground game as well. They didn't have a carry longer than eight yards, managing just 48 rushing yards behind running back Javonte Williams. Green Bay did it through a sea of disguises, overloaded blitzes, timely stops and two key takeaways to hold
