This video provides fantasy football insights and analysis for Week 6 of the NFL season, discussing each of the 32 teams. The hosts break down player performances, team strategies, injuries, and potential fantasy impacts, offering advice on who to start, trade for, or fade.

Key takeaways

• The fantasy football season is heavily impacted by injuries, with a significant number of top picks being sidelined.
• Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars are a talented team with strong coaching, but still have some inconsistencies in game management and play execution.
• The Kansas City Chiefs' offense is showing signs of improvement, with Patrick Mahomes using his legs more and the receiving corps showing promise despite injuries.
• The New England Patriots' backfield is a committee situation, and with Antonio Gibson's injury, Trevion Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson will see increased work, though Stevenson is favored for goal-line opportunities.
• Stefon Diggs is a beneficiary of Drake May's emergence and is considered a strong fantasy asset.
• The Buffalo Bills' defense is a concern, but Dalton Kincaid is showing potential as a top-tier tight end.
• Joe Flacco's move to the Bengals is expected to improve their fantasy output, particularly for Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins, despite offensive line concerns.
• The Philadelphia Eagles' offense has some issues with AJ Brown's performance and play-calling, despite a 4-1 record.
• Omarian Hampton's injury has opened opportunities for Hassan Haskins and Cam Akers in the Chargers' backfield, but the overall situation is uncertain.
• Michael Carter has emerged as the lead back for the Arizona Cardinals, with potential for increased passing game involvement.
• Bijan Robinson is a top fantasy prospect for the Commanders, showing explosiveness and efficiency.
• The New York Jets' offense is struggling, but Mason Mitchell is a reliable target, and Breece Hall is expected to carry the load in the backfield.
• DK Metcalf is a highly efficient receiver for the Seahawks, but his workload could be inconsistent.
• Despite injuries, the 49ers' offense, particularly Christian McCaffrey, remains a dominant fantasy force.
• The Steelers' offense is struggling with wide receiver usage, but Diontae Johnson is a reliable target, while DK Metcalf is a negative regression candidate.

Here's everything mentioned about Travis Hunter in the transcript:

• Fantasy Usage and Outcome: His Week 5 performance was his highest in terms of fantasy usage and outcome of the season.
• Receiving Stats: He had three receptions for 64 yards in Week 5. This included a 44-yard reception where he "climbed the ladder" and another catch after the catch where he made two defenders miss.
• Snap Count & Route Participation: He played 77% of the routes and was out there for all of the three-wide receiver sets the Jaguars used.
• Route Types: He still saw some of his signature choice routes and shallow crossing routes, where he made defenders miss and gained first downs.
• Athleticism: He looked very athletic, which is how he was used in college.
• Catching Ability: He is described as one of the best wide receivers at the catch point, literally "floating in the air."
• Role: The speaker believes he shouldn't just be a slot, Cole Beasley-type receiver and needs to run downfield routes.
• Downfield Play: He had a big cross-post route where he was "literally floating."
• Potential Usage: There's hope for more downfield shots, which would make him valuable in some weeks.
• Defensive Play: He still played some corner and had a nice route coverage against Travis Kelce. Otherwise, he was scripted out on defense.
• Ideal Usage: The speaker believes he should be used more downfield due to his abilities at the catch point.
• Team Record Impact: The Jaguars' 4-1 record allows for "questionable" pre-snap penalties or confusion to be overlooked.
• Snaps Breakdown: He played 39 snaps on offense and 25 snaps on defense, totaling 64 snaps.
• Key Play: The Jaguars likely wouldn't have won the game without his 28-yard catch from his own goal line on third-and-15, where he "climbed the ladder for an uncontested grab." He also had a 44-yard catch that was crucial.
• Defensive Play in Pivotal Moments: He was not on the field during a crucial defensive drive when the Chiefs needed to be stopped from scoring a touchdown.
• Potential Limitations: There's speculation that the team might not feel he can acclimate to playing in two-wide receiver sets this season.
• Previous Coaching Comments: Liam Cohen reportedly said at Colorado that Hunter received hand signals and was told routes to run, suggesting he might not know how to play wide receiver yet.
• Current Role Limitation: He is currently used in slot work, limiting him to about 66% of offensive snaps.
• Long-Term Potential: The speaker believes he has the potential to be a premier wide receiver in the league but is currently capped due to playing both sides of the ball.
• Overall Assessment: He is an amazing player, but his usage is frustrating.
• Reps: Practice reps are identified as a limitation.
• Future Potential: The speaker feels confident he will be one of the best wide receivers in the league in 3-5 years.
• Comparison to Promises: His Week 5 performance was the closest to what was promised, with a higher offensive snap count than previous weeks.
• Fantasy Trust: It's still hard to trust him for fantasy purposes because he is only a three-wide receiver set player for now.
• Overall Impression: He is a "freaking awesome awesome wide receiver" with a nice ceiling that needs to be unlocked.

• Explosiveness: There are signs of his explosiveness returning, though he's not yet at his freshman or rookie speed.
• Red Zone Work: It's unclear if he will be taken off the field near the 10-yard line, but the speaker would be "stunned" if he were.

Here's everything mentioned about the Saints and their offense, particularly their wide receivers:

Overall Team & Offense:

• Record: The Saints are 1-4.
• "Favorite Team": The speakers jokingly refer to the Saints as their "favorite team this year" despite the record.
• Offensive Identity: They are 29th in neutral pass rate and number 1 in running back usage collectively.
• Taaseem Hill's Role: He is coming in as a "Wildcat quarterback," and his usage comes at the expense of other pass catchers. There's no pass attempt when he's on the field.
• Win/Loss Impact: The speakers suggest that wins and losses "don't matter anymore" for the Saints' offensive playcalling and player usage, which they find problematic.
• Kendra Miller: They are trying to get Kendra Miller going a bit.
• O-Line: The offensive line is described as "terrible" in run blocking, and the "pass blocking is still good, but it's not like by far the best in the NFL like it was the last couple seasons."
• Passing Game: They are passing the ball more and more in neutral situations.
• General Inconsistency: The offense is described as inconsistent, with players like Jauan Johnson fluctuating in value.

Wide Receivers & Pass Catchers:

• Rashid Shaheed:
  • Ran fewer routes/snaps than Brandin Cooks in the prior two weeks.
  • Had a monster game with 4 catches, including an 87-yard "out and up" where he "torched" the Giants secondary.

  • Considered an exceptional route runner.
  • Described as a "very, very good football player."
  • His 87-yard reception was considered even better than other plays.
  • He also ran a corner route where a defender "straight up just fell over."
  • He's a player they've been able to "hang their hat on."
  • His role is somewhat uncertain with other players returning.
• Brandin Cooks:
  • Ran more routes/snaps than Rashid Shaheed in the prior two weeks.
• Jauan Johnson (Tight End, but discussed with WRs):
  • Considered a "target getter" and a "PPR scam."
  • Was a top-tier tight end in the first four weeks, receiving 7-8 targets weekly.
  • His role might be declining due to other players returning (Taaseem Hill and Kendra Miller).
  • No longer considered a top 5 tight end, but rather fluctuating in the TE 15 category.
  • Speaker would try to sell him if possible.
  • Speaker would rather have Mason Tauter or Theo Johnson over him rest of season.
  • Ran 83% of routes last week, but usage is down due to the Saints' neutral pass rate (29th) and Taaseem Hill's involvement.
  • His targets are coming at the expense of other pass catchers.
  • Considered a valuable piece of an NFL offense.
  • Is now considered a top 15 tight end.
• Chris Olave: Not mentioned in the transcript.
• Malik Nabers: Not mentioned in the transcript.
• General Wide Receiver Situation: The speakers mention the "PPR scam" nature of most of the Saints' pass catchers.
• Team Strategy: The Saints are moving away from multiple tight end sets and are 29th in neutral pass rate. They are also not using Taaseem Hill as a passer.
