The Fallout 6.24

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Daily Dose newsletter, our “Fantasy Fallout” day. In this article, you will get a quick rundown of the relevant things we learned from the week’s games from Thursday through Sunday. This won’t talk about every single player and we usually won’t spend time on studs who go nuts (no one needs to be told to start CeeDee Lamb right now!), but rather, the idea is to update you on usage trends, injuries, and other relevant things to help your decisions with your teams.

Bucs at Falcons

• Kirk Cousins threw for over 500 yards and four TDs, for only the 13th-such occurrence in NFL history. This led to Drake London (who we wrote up last week) and Darnell Mooney producing their career best fantasy outputs, as they both surpassed 30 points in PPR scoring.
• The Buccaneers’ secondary has become a matchup to target with opposing WRs as London, Mooney, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Courtland Sutton have all posted their best fantasy lines of the season against Tampa Bay.
• Tyler Allgeier continues to be involved for Atlanta, seeing a season-high 38% snap count on Thursday. Like the Jets’ Brealon Allen, Allgeier is a strong handcuff who has weekly starter value even without an injury to Bijan Robinson. 
• The Buccaneers’ backfield has evolved into a 50/50 split between rookie Bucky Irving and Rachaad White. Since Week 1, White has 36 rush attempts while Irving has 35. 
• Mike Evans and Chris Godwin continue to be heavily involved in the offense, but it was Evans who secured two TD catches in this one for the bigger fantasy day. Both remain every-week starters.
• Baker Mayfield produced his fourth game (out of five) this season with 20 or more fantasy points. He remains a weekly starter and a cheaper trade target / waiver pickup for any team needing QB help.

Jets at Vikings

• Aaron Jones left the game early with an apparent hip injury. If he were to miss time, Ty Chandler would be in line for an increased workload and should be a priority add if available on waivers. Jones has been an integral part of the Vikings’ offense, so this is definitely an injury to monitor. The Vikings do have a Week 6 bye, so he has some time.
• The chemistry we’ve been talking about between Aaron Rodgers and Garrett Wilson finally seems to be coming together, as Wilson exploded for a 13-101-1 line on 22 (!!) targets.
• In his second game back from injury, Jordan Addison took a back seat to Justin Jefferson, but he saw eight targets as the Vikings improved to 5-0.
