Fantasy Football top scorers by position: NFL 2025 Week 6
We’re a third of the way through the NFL season and some players are still surprising with their fantasy performances. Here are the top scorers from Week 6.
Week 6 of the 2025 NFL fantasy season delivered some huge performances and surprise stars. Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle continued his breakout stretch with another 30-plus-point game, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba exploded for 162 yards and a touchdown in a career-best outing. De’Von Achane showcased his trademark speed with 128 yards and two scores, and George Pickens shined as the Cowboys’ top receiver in CeeDee Lamb’s absence. But the top performers in the receiving and running back categories actually came during Monday night’s game when the Falcons beat Buffalo, with outstanding performances from both Drake London and Bijan Robinson.
At quarterback, Patrick Mahomes bounced back with a 30-point performance against the Lions, and Josh Jacobs stayed hot for Green Bay with another dominant showing.
NFL Fantasy Football 2025: Week 5 top scorers
Quarterback
Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: 31.48
The Chiefs are making their comeback with a statement win over the Detroit Lions and Mahomes leading the way. Mahomes was outstanding, throwing for 257 yards and three touchdowns, and adding 32 yards and another score on the ground.
Running Back
Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: 35.80
Robinson dominated in a 24–14 Monday night win over the Bills, putting on one of the best performances of his young career. Robinson totaled 238 yards of offense (170 rushing and 68 receiving) on 19 carries and six catches, highlighted by an 81-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Though quieter in the second half, Robinson’s early heroics sealed the victory.
Wide Receiver
Drake London, Atlanta Falcons: 31.80
Along with Robinson, Drake London put on an offensive show against the Bills too. He hauled in 10 of 16 targets for 158 yards and a touchdown, combining for 396 yards of the Falcons’ 443 total offensive yards. He emerged as quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s clear No. 1 target and was the only wide receiver to record a catch for Atlanta.
Tight End
Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles: 26.00
Goedert had a huge week in fantasy, with nine catches for 110 yards and a touchdown against the Giants. He continues to be one of quarterback Jalen Hurts’ top targers, and that marks his fourth straight game with at least one score, solidifying his status as a locked TE1 for fantasy managers.
Kicker
Cameron Dicker, Los Angeles Chargers: 17.00
The Chargers beat the Dolphins by just two points, 29-27, and 17 of those points were scored by Dicker, who made all five field goal attempts - a career high - and both extra points. He continues to have a perfect season with 14 of 14 field goals made.
Defense
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams’ defense dominated in their 17-3 win over the Ravens, delivering one of their best performances of the season. With Baltimore missing Lamar Jackson, Los Angeles’ defense, led by linebacker Nate Landman, rookie edge rusher Jared Verse, and safety Quentin Lake, completely stifled the Ravens’ offense. Landman racked up a franchise-record 17 tackles, Verse forced a fumble and made a crucial fourth-and-goal stop on Derrick Henry, while Lake notched his first career interception and recovered a fumble. Despite allowing 122 rushing yards to Henry, the defense kept Baltimore out of the end zone entirely, forcing them to settle for a single field goal.
