What's up, friends? Welcome in to Fantasy Focus Football alongside Mike Clay and Field Yates. My name is Daniel Dopp here and excited to be able to recap everything that was Week 6, honestly kind of a little bit of a down week in Week 6 We have yet to have a player score 30 fantasy points. We still have Monday Night Football. Hopefully, someone named Jaden Daniels can make that happen in case you need them.

Mike Clay (1:00)

This is what happens when Jameer Gibbs decides to take a vacation.

Daniel Dopp (1:03)

I don't know how long it's been. I would love it if our buddy Kevin Pulsfer, who sometimes watches the show, can tell us when was the last time we had a week in which a player did not score at least 30 fantasy points, not even a quarterback.

Field Yates (1:12)

Well, I can tell you it's been since at least 2024 It didn't happen at all last year. Last year, we had somebody score at least 30 fantasy points in every week. Obviously, this year, we've had somebody score at least 30 fantasy points in every week. Yes, we had four teams on a buy, but we have weeks in which we have six teams on a buy. One of those four teams on the buy was the Dolphins. They didn't even really count. The Dolphins were on a buy, the Vikings, they sort of count. They were on a buy as well. I get it. The Lions and the Bengals, they help us out often. But I'm just saying, this was a disaster week in Fantasy Football. Nobody was as much of a disaster as the person who's deciding how to play the Giants running backs. We'll dive into that in a little bit. But yeah, this was a messy week six.

Mike Clay (2:10)

Yeah, this one now feels like a few weeks ago because so much happened yesterday. But speaking of no offense, oh, wait a minute, 34-31.

Guys, we got a lot of your 65 points on the board with two of what we thought were the best defenses in the NFL, not so fast. Of course, in true form to the way this week went, we had eight touchdown scores and they weren't super helpful in fantasy. Michelle Tooten did score two. Both were touchdown catches. Foster Morrow had two. Jalen Noel had one. Jawar Jordan off the practice squad had one. Travis Hunter had one.

That was cool.

Mike Clay (2:44)

And Nick Borchacher.

SPEAKER_4 (2:47)

Nate Borchacher.

Mike Clay (2:50)

Nate Borchacher. It always happens. There's always a tight end.

SPEAKER_4 (2:54)

There's always a tight end.

Daniel Dopp (2:55)

Was Nate the one with the sick one-handed grab too?

Field Yates (2:57)

That was actually him and Foster Morrow had really cool one-handed grabs. Foster Morrow's was called back because of a timeout.

Daniel Dopp (3:03)

Oh, that's right.

Field Yates (3:04)

And then, by the way, this was cool.

So the Texans had second and goal or something. They were getting ready to snap the football. Timeout was called, but it was so close to when they snapped it that they did run the play. Foster Morrow catches a pass, like a little flag route to the corner. They take a timeout, they come back, and they run the exact same play, which usually it's like the defense is saying, Like they saw it all day. What are they going to do the next play? And the offense ran the exact same play, and it worked.

Mike Clay (3:30)

Unbelievable, so a lot of touchdowns that didn't help us, but let's get into the notable things we need to know moving forward. Running back snaps were interesting. We were talking about this. We were of course live on Fantasy Focus Countdown. We got there.
