Fantasy sizzlers, fizzlers: Jay Ajayi, Kendall Wright have breakout games
These playersd saw their fantasy football values increase or decrease most based on their performances in Week 6:
Sizzlers
RB Jay Ajayi, Miami Dolphins: Despite the presence of Arian Foster, Ajayi tore through the Pittsburgh Steelers for two touchdowns and 204 rushing yards, more than he had total in his first five games.
QB Case Keenum, Los Angeles Rams: Keenum was efficient in a loss to the Detroit Lions, finding receiver Kenny Britt time and time again. On the day, he only had five incompletions in his 32 attempts, racking up 321 yards and three TDs, succinctly silencing the calls for No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff to start.
WR Kendall Wright, Tennessee Titans: Targeted nine times, Wright converted eight of them into 133 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown. Wright missed the entire preseason and the first three regular-season games with a hamstring injury, but he looks fully recovered now.
QB Cody Kessler, Cleveland Browns: Kessler was one of the many quarterbacks in the 300-yard club with a 336-yard, two-touchdown performance in a nail-biter loss to the Titans.
WR Golden Tate, Detroit Lions: The Lions involved all of their receivers Sunday, even Anquan Boldin, who caught eight balls. But the offense finally ran through Tate, who juked, caught and danced his way to 165 yards and a score.
Sunday fantasy takeaways: Welcome back, Odell Beckham Jr.
Fizzlers
WR Sammie Coates, Pittsburgh Steelers: The exciting young player who had the fantasy world abuzz, was active for Week 6. But with a lacerated hand, fractured finger and quarterback who suffered a torn meniscus in the second quarter, Coates managed no catches for no yards.
TE Delanie Walker, Tennessee Titans: Walker tends to be the focal point of the Titans passing offense but was only targeted twice in what was supposed to have been a juicy matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
RB Darren Sproles, Philadelphia Eagles: Sproles was a fringe flex play, but was targeted just once and ran the ball four times as the Eagles offense struggled to move the ball.
WR Michael Crabtree, Oakland Raiders: Fantasy owners have come to expect more from Crabtree, with several big performances this season. Against the Kansas City Chiefs he managed just two receptions for 10 yards as Amari Cooper received the majority of the targets in a tough matchup.
Carolina Panthers defense: Losing Josh Norman, Charles Tillman and Roman Harper in the defensive backfield and replacing them with rookies, has turned out to be not that great of an idea.
