Seven games kick off in Sunday's early window for Week 6. What's the latest injury buzz as kickoff time approaches? Which player is the better bet for your flex spot? Should you be considering a trade to upgrade your roster? Ask away! Our expert will try to answer as many questions as he can prior to kickoff of the early games.

Sometimes waiting for someone to show up or for a situation to develop becomes a waste of time, rather than an exercise in diligence. It's such a fine line to walk. Knowing when to cut bait and when to hang on. What if the promise materializes the moment after you've walked away? Conversely, what if you're left checking your watch and tapping your foot only to realize there's suddenly egg on your face?

Buffalo Bills RB rushed for 16 touchdowns last season, but seven running backs scored more fantasy points because they either accumulated many more rushing yards or played a large role in their team's offense catching passes. Cook did neither. He barely slid past 1,000 rushing yards and he caught only 32 passes. With Cook's TD rate expected to fall, he was only the No. 10 RB in ESPN ADP, a bit of an overlooked third-round selection.

How did injuries to the quarterbacks for top wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson impact their draft value? When did Christian McCaffrey, whose preseason ADP was affected by his previous injury history, get selected? And how far did early-season disappointments like Brian Thomas Jr. and Brock Bowers slide? Let this mock draft help guide you as you make your own decisions moving forward, including assessing trade value and which players we feel you can trust ... for now.

The Falcons laid an absolute egg in Charlotte territory, getting pulverized 30-0 in a game where they looked woefully unprepared. Atlanta got out played and out coached. As you would imagine, just about all of their players (but not quite all) were complete disappointments in fantasy football this week. It was difficult picking a "fantasy dud" just because there were so many great options.

xTD stands for expected touchdowns. It is a statistic that weighs every carry/target and converts the data into one number that indicates a player's scoring opportunity. For example, if a player has an xTD of 3.0, it means that a statistically league-average player who saw the same number of carries/targets in the same area of the field would have scored three touchdowns.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase was the No. 1 pick in most ESPN drafts this year, coming off a season in which he caught 127 passes for 1,708 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. He was the top flex-eligible scorer in PPR formats, second overall only to Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. However, awesome QB Joe Burrow threw every one of Cincinnati's passes for the 2024 season. He may not throw another this season.

Welcome to Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season and our weekly PPR fantasy football superflex rankings. We know many of you compete in superflex formats that invite/covet second quarterbacks in starting lineups, and these rankings account for that. It might look odd to see the lowest-ranked fantasy passers ahead of typical RB2 and WR2 options, but the potential scoring impact demands it. If your league is a standard flex, rankings without QBs appear toward the bottom. Regardless, good luck this week!

After scoring two touchdowns in the preseason, Henderson is becoming a popular pick in fantasy football drafts.

No one needs more stress in their lives. Strange as it may sound, among the more anxiety-inducing parts of the fantasy football experience centers around one's draft position. Whether it's fretting that your most desired player won't be there by the time you get to pick, the bother of not knowing your slot until an hour beforehand (as is the case in ESPN default leagues), or the fear that you'll pick the inevitable "first-rounder who is a bust" and be openly ridiculed by your counterparts, we collectively exhaust far too much energy sweating this particular topic.

Selecting Las Vegas Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty at No. 5 overall was a mild surprise in a 12-team PPR fantasy football mock draft, where he typically ranks at pick 13.3.
