Dowdle warned Dallas to buckle up, and he delivered a revenge-game masterpiece: 183 rushing yards and 56 receiving yards, including a 36-yard TD that flipped the momentum. The performance marks back-to-back 200+ yards from scrimmage and vaults him toward a breakout season.

Across nine starts (seven with the Cowboys), he's on pace for 2,000+ yards from scrimmage—an elite mark reached by only a few. Carolina's offense suddenly looks viable for fantasy managers and keeps Dallas' defense under pressure.

After the loss, Jerry Jones offered no comment, a stark contrast to Dowdle's icy, efficient finish that may push him from underrated to must-roster in dynasty and redraft leagues.

Vikings’ 10-day overseas swing to Dublin and London tested routine, sleep, and roster depth as injuries mounted and discipline was put to the test. Addison’s benching, a crowded injury room, and travel grind challenged coach Kevin O’Connell’s clarity. Carson Wentz steadied the attack while the rookie J.J. McCarthy’s status loomed, and Minnesota closed the trip with a 21-17 win over Cleveland to cap a tense run.

The journey underscored how international games reshape fantasy value: depth, rosters, and the ability to adapt on the fly become as important as star production. A disciplined, no-excuses approach, plus a few roster moves, set the stage for a health-focused bye week and a clearer view of roles going forward.

Week 6 fantasy RBs hinge on snap-driven risers: Kimani Vidal seizes the Chargers' backfield after Omarion Hampton's injury, while Isaiah Bond widens his Browns workload with rising route participation and targets as Cleveland pushes tempo. Kamara's workload fades in New Orleans as Kendre Miller surges, and Jameson Williams' target share remains volatile in Detroit. A broad list of honorable mentions—Henderson, Downs, Legette, Davis, Mostert, Bech, Mitchell, Dulin, Blue—offers deeper flex as byes loom.
