Week 6 highlights major backfield shuffles and rising-usage players for fantasy leagues. Vidal’s hot streak with the Chargers and Knight’s late-week surge for the Cardinals sharpen waiver priorities, while Carter and Haskins share a split at Arizona and KC’s backfield trend grows more two-man. The report also highlights Tyjae Spears, Stevenson’s two-man New England role, and Pacheco’s expanded workload with Hunt nearby. These shifts shape rest-of-season and DFS lineup decisions.

Sunday Night DFS preview: Chiefs at Lions. Detroit takes the field minus Taylor Decker with corner injuries looming, boosting KC’s passing upside while Mahomes and Co. push for a high-scoring night. The backfield shuffle in Kansas City creates value with Pacheco and Hunt, and Worthy’s return broadens the aerial tree beside Kelce. Detroit leans on St. Brown and LaPorta, with Williams and Raymond as secondary paths to points. Kicking and defensive play add balance in a game with ceiling to spare.

Week 6 fantasy starts/sits from Scott Engel highlight a wary approach to Derrick Henry as his production wanes, pushing owners to consider Dowdle, Dobbins or Hunt as safer RB options. Receivers Stefon Diggs remains a solid floor play as he regains form, while Marvin Harrison Jr. faces a tougher matchup with Kyler Murray sidelined. Ridley shows life for Tennessee, but volatility lingers. Trevor Lawrence enters Week 6 with momentum, and AJ Barner emerges as a viable TE streaming option in Jacksonville’s high-scoring matchup.
