Fantasy Football Updates, Week 6: Ahmad Bradshaw Scores Thrice

Marshall’s performance was big but in reality it could have been much bigger. He missed a touchdown catch and ran out of bounds on a big play when he seemingly could have continued for more yards. We don’t know exactly what the balancing act was going down the line, but it seemed just a bit off.

Sanchez is not exactly a great fantasy quarterback, and it appears to drag down Holmes to some extent. Holmes is talented enough to retain much of his fantasy value, but as long as Sanchez is not targeting him more, he will not be a fantastic fantasy option. Good enough that you have to start him every week, but you won’t get many monster performances. It’s not the end of the world, but it can be a little frustrating.

Graham has emerged as an impressive fantasy prospect at the tight end position and is a must start moving forward. Colston has been recovering his a collarbone injury and showed that he is in fact 100% and good to go. He should be reinserted into your lineup on a regular basis.

Cam Newton will have his share of passing struggles as a rookie, but his raw athleticism allows him to overcome that to some extent with his rushing game. He may eventually become a more disciplined scrambler, but he is doing some serious damage at this point, which is a boon for fantasy owners.

Moore had two receptions for 12 yards as his quarterback threw 45 passes, but McCoy completed just 21 of his attempts -- to eight different receivers.
