Week 6 was a relatively quiet one for wide receivers. Only eight receivers surpassed the 100-yard mark and 24 reached double digit fantasy points. That second point of data marked the first time that has happened all season. Despite the modest numbers from the position, we saw a couple of blow-up performances from dormant receivers.
Stefon Diggs detonated on a weak Eagles secondary for seven catches, 167 yards and three touchdowns, putting to bed the rumors of his disgruntled nature and returning to his elite form. Tyreek Hill, who had been out since Week 1 due to injury, went up and over the Texans secondary for an insane 46-yard touchdown catch on his way to a 5/80/2 stat line. But the most encouraging performance of all came from Robby Anderson, who welcomed back his starting quarterback Sam Darnold and torched Dallas for a 92-yard touchdown, the longest play of the current NFL season.
Let’s hope Week 7 has the same in store for them and for the other wideouts on this list.
