Week 6 Stock Up, Stock Down: The young receivers are here
Rivers McCown highlights four fantasy players whose fantasy football stock rose in Week 6 of the NFL season and four whose stock fell.
Week 6 was a week of incremental gains on the field, rather than dramatic shifts. New players emerged, while others faced challenges. Dameon Pierce, a young receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, played a game where he took 61-of-64 offensive snaps despite Saquon Barkley's hamstring injury possibly keeping him out of the next game.
Omar Cooper Jr. from the New York Jets became a standout after returning from injury, amassing 103 yards and a touchdown. Ja'Kobi Lane from the Baltimore Ravens, who was activated from injury, showed promise with a 4/40 opening game, indicating he could be a valuable addition to fantasy rosters. On the Giants' side, their backfield is a confusing mix of players like Devin Singletary, Tyrone Tracy, and four others who all had between nine and six carries.
As the season progresses, fantasy managers will need to navigate these new developments and assess the potential of these young players.
