Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers for Week 6 of the 2026 NFL Season
The 2026 NFL season is advancing into Week 6, prompting a review of significant fantasy football players whose values are changing. This week highlights both rising stars and those facing challenges.
Jaylen Warren has emerged as a standout player, accumulating 126 total yards against the Browns and 188 yards with two touchdowns against the Colts in the previous two games. His performance has solidified his position as the lead back in Pittsburgh, likely resulting in a 65-35 split in his favor.
Isaiah Likely also had a notable performance, catching 11 of 13 targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns against the Commanders, following a strong showing against the Cardinals. His consistent target share indicates he is becoming a reliable option at tight end.
Mike Evans had a strong game against the Seahawks, recording seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. With Deebo Samuel expected to miss time due to injury, Evans is likely to see increased opportunities.
On the other hand, Jeremiyah Love's recent performances have raised concerns due to limited usage and potential injury. Similarly, Luther Burden III has struggled with inconsistent opportunities, although a potential return of Caleb Williams could improve his situation.
Chase Brown's role has diminished, with Samaje Perine outpacing him in carries during the last game. With the Bengals on a bye in Week 6, the coaching staff will have time to reassess the running back situation.
