Fantasy Football Week 6 Disappointments (2026)

Key Points:

• Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season saw several notable fantasy football players underperform, identified as busts by Andersen Pickard, with injuries excluded from the analysis.
• Quarterbacks Bo Nix and Jacoby Brissett had quiet games, with Nix throwing for just 107 yards and no touchdowns, while Brissett had zero touchdowns and one interception, though both are expected to rebound.
• Running backs MarShawn Lloyd, Derrick Henry, and Bijan Robinson struggled, with Lloyd scoring just 1.0 point amid injury concerns, Henry having his first fumble of the season, and Robinson posting his first single-digit fantasy point game.
• Wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and A.J. Brown had disappointing performances, with Waddle struggling to find consistency after a trade to Denver and Brown dropping multiple passes in his first game back from injury.
• Tight ends Mark Andrews and Pat Freiermuth underwhelmed, with Andrews having his worst game of the season and Freiermuth being outproduced by a teammate, raising concerns about their reliability moving forward.
