- Jaylin Noel posted 4 receptions, 107 yards, and a TD in Week 6 for the Texans, and the source says he remains unrostered in a slew of leagues despite the mid-week trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. freeing up Noel's intermediate and vertical routes.
- Isaiah Likely caught 6 passes for 99 yards and a TD for the Giants, with his production improving after the team benched Jameis Winston for J.J. McCarthy at quarterback.
- Chuba Hubbard racked up 28 carries for 120 yards and a TD against the Eagles, and the source pegs him as a workhorse who would land in the second round of fantasy redrafts today, ahead of any Jonathon Brooks return.
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in 12 receptions for 134 yards on 16 targets for the Seahawks, with the source saying defenses can't stop him even when they bracket him because of his route running.
- Caleb Williams went 30-of-36 for 305 yards and a TD in the Bears' 31-23 win over Atlanta, and head coach Ben Johnson told reporters this preseason he wants to set scoring records.
- C.J. Stroud completed 24 of 34 passes for 312 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT for the Texans, with the source saying his anticipation and accuracy are the best since his rookie year and should improve as he builds chemistry with Harrison Jr.
- Malik Nabers caught 12 passes for 165 yards against the Saints, and the source says he would be an easy first-round redraft pick after flashing even higher upside once McCarthy took over at QB.
Why it matters: Six weeks into the 2026 NFL season, fantasy redraft values are crystallizing — the source pegs Hubbard, Smith-Njigba, and Nabers as first-or-second-round redraft picks today, giving managers holding those assets clear leverage in trade talks during the Week 7 waiver run.
