1. RB Kimani Vidal played 69% of snaps in Week 6, with 21 touches for 138 yards.
- Key Stats: 76% RB opportunity share / 57% route share
Vidal got the start and took four touches to Hassan Haskins' one during a 10-play opening drive (six snaps for Vidal, four for Haskins). On the second drive, which lasted just four plays, Haskins got all four snaps and took two touches for 11 yards. At that point, Haskins actually had an 8-6 advantage in snaps and just one fewer touch (4-3) than Vidal.
The third drive was when Vidal took charge, playing all six snaps and taking four carries for 50 yards, highlighted by a 38-yard gain on a 3rd-and-1 pitch play that left him with nothing but green grass. He got stuffed on a 3rd-and-2 to end the drive, but Vidal then had a 19-yard gain on the second snap of the following series and dominated playing time for the rest of the afternoon. He had a few more chunk gains from there, and a receiving TD to round out his stat line.
After the first two drives, Vidal took 74% of snaps and 18 of 22 RB opportunities, getting 78% of snaps on first down, 73% on second down and 67% on third down. That's a better role than what anyone expected for either him or Haskins, creating hope for RB2 fantasy value moving forward.
There is still risk, of course. We've already seen Michael Carter lose ground quickly in a similar situation, and there was a hot-hand element to Vidal's workload dominance this past Sunday (rather than the coaches planning things that way). The Chargers' injury-riddled offensive line was a pleasant surprise, like Vidal, but while facing one of the worst defenses in the league.
A tougher matchup against the Colts in Week 7 brings risk of Vidal getting shut down early and Haskins taking more playing time as the game progresses. The good news? Vidal is far more explosive than Haskins and may not have to deal with Omarion Hampton (ankle) until late November or December. There's an opportunity for Vidal to be a solid starter in both real life and fantasy for a month-plus — and the upcoming game against Indianapolis is a huge one for him.
2. RB Cam Skattebo scored three TDs on 21 touches with Tyrone Tracy healthy.
- Key Stats: 72% snap share / 75% RB opportunity share / 43% route share
Tracy's return barely impacted Skattebo, who recorded his third straight game with at least 21 touches and 49 snaps in an upset win over Philadelphia. The rookie's snap share (72%) was actually slightly higher than the week before, with Tracy getting playing time that had been going to third-stringer Devin Singletary in his absence.
Skattebo missed out on some of New York's pass plays, falling a bit shy of 50% route share, but that's mostly just nitpicking, given his 26% target rate this season and his nine carries inside the 5-yard line (tied with Jalen Hurts for second most). Jaxson Dart is the only other Giant with a carry inside the 5 this year; Skattebo was getting the goal-line looks even before he seized the rest of the workload.
In the win over Philly, he had 21 of New York's 26 RB opportunities (81%) before Devin Singletary took the final two carries. Skattebo played 69% of snaps on first down, 70% on second down and 77% on third down, suggesting he's preferred over Tracy in all situations and only being subbed out some for maintenance/fatigue.
Skattebo's average of 4.1 YPC is a strong mark for someone with a large proportion of carries in short-yardage situations, and he's also added value as a pass catcher with an 83.3% catch rate and 7.8 yards per catch (both solidly above positional averages). He's fumbled once on 102 touches, and hasn't dropped a pass yet, largely avoiding rookie mistakes while becoming the centerpiece of a banged-up offense.
3. RB Bam Knight took 49% of snaps and a team-high 11 carries in Week 6
- Key Stats: 13 of 29 RB opportunities / 54 total yards + TD
Knight didn't quite get enough work that you'll feel good putting him into a Week 7 lineup, but he definitely got enough to destroy any confidence in Michael Carter, who previously had 59% snap share and 23 touches (74% opportunity share) in the Week 5 loss to Tennessee.
Carter dropped to 46% snap share and 48% opportunity share in Week 6, essentially forming a 50/50 split with Knight once passing-down specialist Emari Demercado left with an ankle injury. The specifics of their split were odd, with Carter getting most of the snaps in the first and fourth quarters, while Knight played 17 of 17 snaps in the third quarter (but just 36% of snaps otherwise).
The Cardinals seem to prefer Knight as a runner and Carter as a pass catcher, but that doesn't mean Carter can't get hot and lead the team in carries again. It's hard to trust either RB for more than 8-10 touches in a tough Week 7 matchup with Green Bay.
4. RB Breece Hall has 36 of New York's 39 RB carries the past two games.
- Key Stats: 67% snap share in Weeks 5-6 / 18.0 carries, 2.5 targets in Weeks 5-6
Isaiah Davis has picked up most of the playing time Braelon Allen (ankle) left behind,* but that's almost exclusively been on pass plays, with Hall dominating the non-Fields rushing work. Hall didn't get any targets in Sunday's loss to Denver, but his 54% route share was actually well above his season-long mark (44%).
In Weeks 1-4, Hall took on 60% snap share and 43% route share, with 52 of the team's 75 RB carries (69%) and 19 of the 27 RB targets (70%).
In Weeks 5-6, Hall got 67% snap share and 46% route share, with 36 of 39 RB carries (92%) and five of 10 RB targets (50%).
More receiving work should be coming, especially now that Garrett Wilson's expected to miss time. And while Wilson's absence adds to the mounting concern about New York's offense in general, Hall has an opportunity for massive workloads in the coming weeks.
*Allen is expected to miss most, if not all, of the season.
5. TE Oronde Gadsden saw his snap and route shares rise for a fourth straight week.
- Key Stats: TPRR: 21% / W6: 70% route share / W6: 7-68-0
Will Dissly's return to the lineup in Week 6 ended up impacting only Tyler Conklin, who played just three snaps and didn't run a single route. Gadsden, meanwhile, hit career highs for both snap share (74%) and route share (70%), up from 52% and 61%, respectively, the week before.
He lost a fumble on his first target, but rebounded to finish with 7-68-0, boosting his target rate for the season to 21% (a surprisingly strong number for someone sharing an offense with Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston). The rookie has a 15-144-0 receiving line on 19 targets through four games, with a consistent upward trend in playing time (though he's probably now maxed out around 70-75% snap share as an all-catch, no-block rookie TE).
Exciting times for Round 5 rookie TE Oronde Gadsden. Entered college as a WR, moved to TE & went 73-934-7 for Syracuse in 2024.
Both Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin were active for #Chargers yesterday. Routes run on 39 JHerbert dropbacks:

6. TE Dallas Goedert has a 23% target share in his active games.
- Key Stats: 25% TPRR / 6.5 targets per game / five TDs in five games.
Goedert has been one of the statistical oddities of 2025, scoring five TDs in five games after five straight seasons with a consistently low TD rate (relative to his catches and yardage). Then he put up 9-110-1 on 11 targets in Week 6, making his receiving line for the season more than just TDs.
In fact, i's better than it looks at first glance, because Goedert didn't play Week 2. In the five games he has played, he's second on the team in target share (23%) and air-yard share (24%), ahead of DeVonta Smith (but not AJ Brown) in both categories. Goedert's 8.5 aDOT is in line with numbers from the first half of his career, after three straight years well below 7.0.
Believe it or not, Goedert had significantly higher marks for target rate and yards per route last season — a 28% TPRR and 2.7 YPRR put him in elite territory for TEs — but didn't make much impact in fantasy due to injuries and the run-heavy nature of Philadelphia's offense. Struggles with the run game this season, in combination with incredibly good TD luck, have Goedert on track for his best fantasy year yet.
The touchdowns will slow down, but there may be something to the career-best volume (6.5 targets per game), as the Eagles haven't been able to rely on Brown and Saquon Barkley the way they'd like to.
7. WR Elic Ayomanor is second among rookies with 185 routes run.
- Key Stats: 81% route share / 28% air-yard share / W6: 93% snap share
Ayomanor was already close to a full-time player over the first five weeks of his career before hitting high-water marks for snap share (93%) and route share (91%) in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Las Vegas. He finished with just five targets and 27 yards, even though Calvin Ridley missed the final three quarters with a hamstring injury.
The poor output dropped Ayomanor to an 18% target rate and 1.1 yards per route for the season, with just 5.8 yards per target. He does have one drop, but QB play and coaching have been the bigger issue. Firing Brian Callahan doesn't fix that, but it at least changes something, and there's opportunity for a target share well above 20% if Ridley now misses time.
8. WR Kendrick Bourne has 284 yards on 20 targets over the past two weeks.
- Key Stats (W5-6): 24% TS / 36% AYS / 25% TPRR / 3.6 YPRR
Bourne's value still feels fragile, but maybe not as fragile as Ricky Pearsall's knee and Jauan Jennings' ribs. We're looking at strong odds for at least a handful of targets again, though the projection is highly variable at this point with so many injuries up in the air.
For now, Bourne is slotted into my Week 7 lineup, hoping to squeeze out another game or two. Don't forget to give Kyle Shanahan credit for keeping the offense moving with Bourne, Jake Tonges and Mac Jones as if they were Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle and Brock Purdy.
9. RB Isiah Pacheco played a season-high 77% of snaps in Week 6.
- Key Stats: 76% route share / 12 of 18 RB carries / 15 of 26 RB opportunities (58%)
Kareem Hunt still got the short-yardage work, and Brashard Smith drew four targets despite playing only 10% of snaps. Even so, this was the first real sign of progress for Pacheco, who previously lingered not far from 50 percent snap share (with about half of the touches as well) in every game this season.
Pacheco took 12 of 18 RB carries in the win over Detroit, with season highs for snap share and route share. I'm not sure if Pacheco will do anything with the opportunity, but it looks like the Chiefs may give him a shot to really be the lead guy again. Or maybe it'll be a one-week fluke... either way, it's worth floating a trade offer in leagues where Pacheco is available for basically nothing.
10. RB Rhamondre Stevenson played a season-high 71% of snaps in Week 6.
- Key Stats: 56% route share / 13 of 22 RB carries / 14 of 25 RB opportunities (56%)
The split between Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson didn't really change in the first game after Antonio Gibson's season-ending ACL tear. Both RBs got some of the snaps that went to Gibson in prior weeks, with Stevenson still getting far more playing time than Henderson (while the rookie maintains a much higher rate of touches per snap).
The upside scenario for fantasy here is still the one where Henderson takes over, but we've also got a chance to squeak out some value from Stevenson in the meantime, even if a lot of the snaps he's playing are ones with the ball in Drake Maye's hands. A friendly schedule for New England in the coming weeks should lead to at least one or two games in which Stevenson piles up rushing volume and has something to show for it.
