Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season was another wild one with overtime finishes and key Fantasy Football performances that defined the week. Before we turn the page on Week 6, it's time to reflect on key standout performances and what the Week 7 waiver-wire priorities should be. From emerging wide receivers to running backs making the most of expanded opportunities, several players have put themselves on the Fantasy radar.
Week 6 stats: 4 receptions, 107 receiving yards, 1 touchdown Noel scored a touchdown last week and showed signs of a budding rapport with CJ Stroud, but an early-week trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. sapped the excitement surrounding Noel during last week's waiver wire. Noel remains unrostered in a slew of leagues and that has to change immediately. Stroud and Noel continue to develop a rapport.
Noel, the 2025 third-round pick, is a route winner on the intermediate and vertical levels of the field. Harrison's addition could actually help free up Noel for more opportunities to make big plays. For now, he's probably worth rostering in most leagues, but he's a better fit for non-PPR formats and not a player you should be allocating major budget to.
Week 6 stats: 6 receptions, 99 receiving yards, 1 touchdown Likely to continue dominating for the Giants in what has become one of the most concentrated passing games in the entire NFL. Likely is a multi-level route-winner who has consistently uncovered on whip routes and choice routes in the short area while also eating up space and winning matchups in the intermediate range. He's also a monster in the red zone.
He is not a sell-high, but more likely a buy-high after proving his production did not slip (and actually improved) once the Giants turned to J.J. McCarthy at quarterback and benched Jameis Winston. Week 6 stats: 28 carries, 120 rushing yards, 1 touchdown Hubbard racked up over 100 yards against the Eagles defense and found the end zone.
He continues to be one of the best buys in Fantasy Football drafts and likely our biggest league-winning pick of the season. It's the workload that really stands out here. 28 carries in a football game. He's one of the few and true workhorse backs remaining and wouldn't last longer than the second round of Fantasy drafts if we redrafted today.
