Brian Callahan is out in Tennessee after six weeks of offensive struggles, a move aimed at shedding a stalled attack and re-energizing Cam Ward's development. The emergency edition maps interim options, potential long-term hires, and a plan to salvage a rookie season that’s looked directionless.

Ward’s future hinges on an offensive mind who can tailor schemes to his strengths; names range from internal Bones Fossil to external options like Joe Brady, Cliff Kingsbury, Mike McCarthy, and Eddie George, with play-action and clock management as key levers.

Week six delivered a chaotic fantasy landscape with a rash of injuries and a handful of breakout performances. Brian Thomas Jr. delivered a true breakout, Kamani Vidal seized a lead back role with a strong showing, and Derrick Henry finally supplied a usable line after a drought. Puka Nakua and DK Metcalf weathered injury chatter with returns that mattered for shiny matchups, while the waivers loom with potential every week.

Key takeaways: chase backfield opportunities where a lead can flip, decide if Brian Thomas Jr. is a hold or a sell high after a red-hot game, monitor rest-of-season schedules for rookies, and weigh the odds on veterans like Henry and Metcalf amid shifting spreads and injury notes as we move toward the fantasy playoffs.

Week 6 delivered a flood of breakout performances and consequential injuries that will shape the rest of the fantasy season. Derrick Henry reasserted his floor with heavy rushing volume, Devin A-Chan exploded for over 120 yards and two scores, and Jackson Smith & Jigba erupted for 162 yards and a score, signaling a legitimate breakout. Puka Nakua’s status looms as a key waiver decision after an ankle issue, while Brian Thomas Jr. and George Pickens delivered prime-time-like showings that bolstered their staying power. Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense surged, with CD Lamb set to return soon, while Jonathan Taylor, Travis Etienne, and Baker Mayfield also left clear narratives for managers to chase in Week 7.
