The formerDallas Cowboytouched the ball 34 times, logging 239 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown while facing his old team. Dowdle has now cleared 22 rushing attempts and collected at least three balls in back-to-back outings. Carolina will travel to the Meadowlands in Week 7, taking on a Jets defense that gave up 78 rushing yards on 26 attempts versus the Broncos in London. Assuming Hubbard remains sidelined, Dowdle projects as a top-15 fantasy play at the position. He might have very well gained control of the backfield’s top spot even if Hubbard is healthy enough to suit up. Despite being stuffed at the goal line in the game’s first half, Henry rebounded Sunday. The Ravens fed the vet early and often, helping him reach 90 rushing yards before halftime. Despite the Ravens falling to the Rams 17-3, Henry averaged 5.1 YPC, clearing 100 rushing yards for the first time since Week 1. Baltimore goes on bye in Week 7, but Henry’s production should continue to pick up from there, especially ifLamar Jacksonreturns in Week 8. Harrison suffered what was being reported as concussion-like symptoms in the first half of Arizona’s game at Indianapolis.Jacoby Brissett(who was starting in the stead ofKyler Murray) focused the bulk of his efforts onTrey McBride(8-72-1),Zay Jones(5-79) andMichael Wilson(4-44). Fantasy managers should brace for both Harrison and Murray sitting out next Sunday’s tilt versus Green Bay. Maye posted more than 20 fantasy points for the third time in five weeks this past Sunday. The second-year signal-caller led his team to a third straight victory, throwing for 261 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs while the Patriots beat the Saints 25-19. Maye also buoyed his fantasy stock on the ground, taking off nine times for 28 rushing yards. He has now managed at least 25 rushing yards and/or found the end zone in four of his past five outings. He’ll offer virtual investors top-10 positional appeal in another solid matchup at Tennessee (70.2 COMP% allowed) in Week 7. While he has yet to be officially ruled out, Adam Schefter is reporting thatKyler Murraywill not play Sunday, withJacoby Brissettgetting the start under center. TheArizonaQB suffered a foot injury late in the third quarter of the Week 5 loss to theTennessee Titans, but he was able to return to the game after a visit to the locker room. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday but was listed as a limited participant Friday.
