  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Cools off out of bye week

    Odunze finished with two receptions (on five targets) for 32 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.

    Chicago's Week 5 bye didn't benefit Odunze, who saw the four-game scoring streak he started the season with end abruptly Monday. The 23-year-old finished fourth for the Bears in receiving as QB Caleb Williams spread the ball around evenly amongst his targets in the win. Odunze was providing WR1 production prior to Monday's dud, so managers should continue starting the wideout with confidence against the Saints on Sunday.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | WAS

    Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Toughs out heel injury in loss

    Samuel (heel) secured four of five targets for 15 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

    Samuel wasn't at 100 percent, and although Jayden Daniels kept him involved, the veteran receiver couldn't do much with his opportunities. Samuel posted his second-lowest receiving yardage total of the season, but his injury seemed to play a role. The seven-year pro will look to get healthier ahead of a key Week 7 road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.

  • Demario Davis OLB | NO

    Saints' Demario Davis: Quiet performance in Week 6

    Davis recorded three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 25-19 loss to the Patriots.

    Davis was uncharacteristically quiet in Week 6, securing a season-low three stops in the loss. The three tackles were his lowest total since Week 13 of last season and four fewer than the seven he posted in Week 4 of this year. Davis is still off to a strong start to the campaign though, compiling 51 total tackles (27 solo), a pass defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over six games this season.

  • Caleb Williams QB | CHI

    Bears' Caleb Williams: Scores twice in MNF win

    Williams completed 17 of 29 pass attempts for 252 yards and a touchdown while rushing four times for a loss of two yards and another touchdown in Monday's 25-24 win over Washington.

    Williams didn't post gaudy numbers on Monday Night Football, but he played a clean game while lifting the Bears to a third straight victory. The 2024 first-overall pick won the individual battle between the top two quarterback selections from that draft, but Jayden Daniels arguably had the superior fantasy score after hitting pay dirt thrice in a losing effort. Williams has been looking more comfortable running head coach Ben Johnson's offense with each passing week, a trend the duo will look to maintain against the Saints on Sunday.

  • Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Costly fumble in loss

    Croskey-Merritt rushed 17 times for 61 yards and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

    The rookie seventh-round pick was coming off a career-best performance Week 5 against the Chargers, but he surprisingly found tough sledding on the ground against a Bears defense that has struggled to contain the run. Croskey-Merritt's late-first-quarter fumble also was costly, as he lost the ball at his own 33-yard line and saw the Bears score a touchdown on a Caleb Williams one-yard run five plays later. Despite the miscue, Croskey-Merritt remained the clear lead option in the ground attack, as No. 2 back Jeremy McNichols recorded just two carries. Croskey-Merritt's outlook for Week 7 remains bright, as a road matchup with the porous Cowboys defense is on tap Sunday.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Three TDs in Week 6 loss

    Daniels completed 19 of 26 passes for 211 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday night. He also rushed 10 times for 52 yards and committed two fumbles, losing one and recovering the other.

    As his collection of numbers indicates, it was a mixed bag of a night for Daniels in his second game back from a knee sprain that cost him a pair of contests. The second-year signal-caller threw a season-high three touchdown passes, connecting with Chris Moore (22 yards), Luke McCaffrey (33 yards) and Zach Ertz (six yards) to erase 13-0 and 16-10 deficits. However, Daniels' first-quarter interception, his first of the season, led to a Bears field goal, and his fumble at Chicago's 45-yard line on an attempted handoff to Jacory Croskey-Merritt with 3:10 remaining and Washington clinging to a two-point lead would eventually result in a game-winning field goal by opposing kicker Jake Moody. Daniels also took three sacks, and this was his first multi-turnover tally of the season. The star quarterback and his teammates don't have time to dwell on the last-second defeat, however, as a road date with the arch-rival Cowboys awaits Sunday afternoon.

  • Jake Moody K | CHI

    Bears' Jake Moody: Comes through with game-winning FG

    Moody went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try Monday in a 25-24 win over Washington.

    Moody made his Bears debut as a result of Cairo Santos being inactive due to a thigh injury. Moody instilled confidence with his first field-goal try, a successful 47-yarder early in the first quarter. The former 49er then hit a 48-yarder and a 41-yarder before having another 48-yard try blocked at the start of the fourth period. However, Moody was able to conclude a successful team debut by nailing a 38-yard field goal as time expired to give Chicago a one-point win. Whether or not he kicks again in Week 7 versus New Orleans likely depends on Santos' health and ability to suit up.

  • Patriots' Robert Spillane: Double-digit stops in win

    Spillane recorded 11 total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.

    Spillane was able to reach double-digit stops for the third time this season, all of which have come over the last four contests. The linebacker has now compiled 51 total tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, and a forced fumble over six games this year.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Breaks out on MNF

    Swift rushed 14 times for 108 yards while catching two of three targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.

    Swift broke out in a big way on Monday Night Football when he posted his first 100-yard game of the season. The 26-year-old also scored his first receiving touchdown of 2025 when he converted a short reception into a 55-yard trip to the end zone. Swift had been providing fantasy managers with a solid floor over his first four appearances this year, but he looked recharged coming out of Chicago's bye week. Swift will attempt to carry the momentum from his best outing to date into Sunday's tilt against New Orleans.

  • Daiyan Henley LB | LAC

    Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Leads LA with seven stops

    Henley tallied seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 29-27 victory versus Miami.

    Henley's seven tackles paced the Chargers in the narrow victory. The third-year linebacker has been quite consistent this season, notching between seven and 10 stops in five of his six games so far. Overall, Henley has registered 46 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, along with two pass defenses (including an interception).
