Nick Bolton’s calf issue headlines Week 6 chatter as the Chiefs host the Lions on Sunday Night Football. Bolton fully participated in practice and avoided a designation, signaling a real shot to play. Kansas City’s linebacking corps could lean on Bolton as an anchor, while veteran backups Jeffrey Bassa, Jack Cochrane, and Cooper McDonald stand by in case he’s limited or inactive.

Detroit’s primetime visit tests KC’s run defense and Bolton’s availability will shape the tackle upside for Chiefs linebackers and the Lions’ approach. If Bolton plays, anticipate a solid tackling floor for KC LBs; if not, expect deeper roles for the backups and modest shifts in fantasy upside across the unit.

Nick Bolton has returned to form for Kansas City, delivering a reliable tackle floor in Week 6 and lifting KC’s IDP upside. His presence should boost tackle volume for fantasy managers who lean on linebacker scoring.

Maxx Crosby aims to snap his sack drought against the Tennessee Titans in Week 6, offering a clear path to big plays and pressure stats. If the matchup plays out as projected, Crosby could post a disruptive week with sacks and tackles for loss.

Trevor Lawrence answered a rocky start against Kansas City with decisive scrambles and precise throws, sealing the win with a late rushing TD. The comeback underscored his growing poise under pressure and the Jaguars’ resilience in a year defined by ups and downs.

Jacksonville's attack, steered by Liam Coen, looks capable of sustaining a playoff push with a rising receiving corps behind Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr., plus the added rushing floor from Lawrence. If the WRs continue to emerge, Lawrence could sustain QB1 fantasy upside.
