In Sunday's London game, which few would consider an instant classic, Denver tight end Evan Engram led all Broncos pass catchers with five receptions for 42 yards. Both marks also represented season highs for the veteran tight end, who has now seen at least five targets and four receptions in three straight games. While none of these numbers justify the brief offseason hype stemming from head coach Sean Payton's talk of using him in the Joker role, Engram has provided a reliable floor at a position where that's hard to come by. If he can mix in the occasional touchdown, as he did in Week 5, he should continue to be in play in most formats as injuries and bye weeks mount.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty recorded a season-high 23 rush attempts for 75 yards and a touchdown in their 20-10 win over the Titans in Week 6. Head coach Pete Carroll spoke on Wednesday regarding the workload for his star rookie running back and said that he hopes that is the norm for him moving forward. Jeanty has topped 20 carries twice this season, including a career-high performance in Week 4 against the Bears, when he rushed for 138 yards and scored three total touchdowns. He hasn't been very efficient running behind a poor run-blocking offensive line, but his touch volume ranks among the highest at the position. Jeanty will rank as a low-end RB1 in Week 7 against the Chiefs.
