With all but one game in the books for Week 6 (Bills at Jets on MNF), we’ve come upon some new revelations. Now, we’ve got several games under our belts and we’ve passed the initial excitement of thinking a team can win the Super Bowl after starting 2-0, or thinking a team is dead to rights after falling to 0-2. Now, our fantasy teams are taking shape and, just think, after next week we will have played half of the fantasy season!

Dobbins had a career-high 25 carries in Week 6 against the Broncos that he turned into 96 yards and a touchdown, good for RB12 with MNF pending.
