Six weeks are behind us, and the identity of this fantasy season is starting to take shape. We’ve reached the point where trends have become truths, usage is stabilizing, and depth charts are beginning to solidify — for better or worse. This is where sharp dynasty managers start separating from the pack, capitalizing on market inefficiencies before the rest of the league catches up.

The goal remains the same: simplify the chaos. You shouldn’t need ten tabs open on a Monday morning to figure out what matters. This is your one-stop shop — dynasty risers and fallers, buy/sell/hold trade calls, injury fallout, panic checks, and redraft edges to help you stay a step ahead each week.

Week 6 gave us some breakout performances, some warning signs, and plenty of movement in dynasty value. Let’s dive into it — starting with this week’s headline story.

Section 1: Trends & Usage Tracker (The Data Pulse)

While Skattebo’s three-touchdown performance on Thursday night likely won many fantasy players their Week 6 matchup, now is the time to explore trade options for the rookie running back. The former Arizona State star has averaged 20.6 PPR fantasy points per game over the past four weeks, totaling 24 or more twice. However, he has averaged 4.3 yards per rushing attempt during that span. While fantasy players shouldn’t force a trade, they should explore sell-high options for Skattebo

Cam Skattebo Keeps Producing — But I’m Still Selling

Tyrone Tracy’s return didn’t slow down Cam Skattebo, but it did give us a clear picture of what this Giants’ backfield looks like moving forward. Tracy opened the year as the lead back, playing over 70% of the snaps in Week 1, but since Week 3, Skattebo has taken control, handling 60% or more of the offensive snaps in three straight games. Against Washington, he once again started and handled most early-down, short-yardage, and goal-line work, while Tracy rotated in for extended drives.

The split was about what Brian Daboll prefers, a 60/30 rotation with the third back seeing spot duty. Skattebo continues to operate as the hammer in this backfield, and his touchdown equity keeps him fantasy-relevant. He’s averaged over 20 PPR points per game over the past month and has found the end zone in back-to-back contests.

But from a dynasty perspective, this is the perfect sell window. Skattebo’s efficiency has dipped (just 4.3 YPC in that same span), and his fantasy value is currently propped up by touchdowns and volume, two things that rarely hold for mid-tier RBs in unstable offenses. Add in Tracy’s return, a questionable long-term scheme fit, and potential staff turnover, and the writing’s on the wall.

If you can get a 2026 or 2027 first-round pick or a young wideout with upside, it’s time to cash out. Enjoy the production while it lasts, just don’t get caught holding the bag when the regression hits.
