NFL Scores Week 6: Results and Top Fantasy Football Stars for Sunday Games

Week 6 of the 2018 NFL season is here. And once again, there were plenty of huge fantasy performances.

Those big-time playmakers are starting to separate themselves from the field, much like teams are in the standings. That doesn't mean surprise games are done, though.

Both categories are covered in the table below, with highlights from the week's most explosive players under that.

Saquon Barkley

New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley has been a machine. And after piling up 30 fantasy points on Thursday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles, he's averaging nearly 20 a game. He's had over 15 points in all but one contest.

On Thursday, he did it both as a runner and receiver. He went for 130 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries and then added 99 yards on nine receptions.

The NFL shared highlights of the big night:

Barkley's averaging 135.2 yards from scrimmage per game, second in the NFL behind Todd Gurley, and around 5.0 yards per game more than third-place Alvin Kamara.

Melvin Gordon

The Los Angeles Chargers demolished the Cleveland Browns 38-14 on Sunday, and running back Melvin Gordon had plenty to do with that.

In his biggest fantasy performance of the season, Gordon went for 132 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. He added 18 yards on two receptions as the cherry on top.

The NFL shared video of his third score:

Coming into Week 6, Gordon was already averaging 19.9 fantasy points per game, which ranked third among non-quarterbacks. After running all over the Browns, that number is up to 21.6, which puts him within striking distance of Todd Gurley's average of 24.1.

Jameis Winston

Fitzmagic may have run its course following a huge performance from recently reinstated Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston.

His Bucs may have lost, but Winston put up 30 fantasy points. He was 30-of-41 for 395 yards, four touchdowns and two picks. He also ran for 31 yards.

The NFL tweeted one of his scoring throws:

It looks like Tampa Bay may have one of this season's stronger passing attacks, regardless of who starts. Ryan Fitzpatrick averaged 32.5 fantasy points over the team's first three games. Winston has put up 37 total in the last two.

Todd Gurley

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley destroyed the Denver Broncos in the second slate of games, running for 208 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. He also had two catches for 17 receiving yards.

The league's Twitter account posted video of his second score:

Prior to this monster game, Gurley trailed Barkley for the NFL lead in yards from scrimmage per game, but he's comfortably at the top now, with a whopping average of 145.

And in case anyone didn't already know, Gurley showed this Rams attack can also ground-and-pound its way to a win.

Dak Prescott

Elsewhere during the second batch of Sunday games, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had his biggest fantasy performance of the season in a 40-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Prescott went 17-of-27 for 183 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions as a passer. He added another 82 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

The NFL shared video of the rushing touchdown:

Prescott came into Week 6 averaging just 12.5 fantasy points, 27th out of the 30 quarterbacks with at least 100 passing attempts. Sunday's game will bump that average up around three points, inching him closer to the middle of the pack.

More performances like this will not only continue to move him up that leaderboard, they'll give the Cowboys a chance to compete for an NFC East title.

Tyreek Hill

Sunday's finale was an absurd display of offense. And that might be an undersell.

In a back-and-forth battle that saw both squads reach the 40s, Tyreek Hill separated himself from the other playmakers, racking up 142 yards and three touchdowns on seven receptions.

His blistering speed was on display in this 75-yard catch and run posted by the NFL:

On a team loaded with weapons, Hill may be the most difficult to pin down. He can hurt an opponent as a receiver, runner or returner. On Sunday, he just happened to do all his damage in the first category.

Patrick Mahomes

Hill's quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, went 23-of-36 for 352 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions and topped 20 fantasy points for the fifth time in six games. 

If you add his one appearance from last season, Mahomes now has 171 career fantasy points. Only Eric Dickerson (177) had a more productive first seven games.

When he's surrounded by Hill, Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelce, it seems like Mahomes could stay on this ridiculous trajectory for the rest of his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback.
