Bo Nix was the QB11 in fantasy points per game in 2025 (18.6) and QB9 in fantasy points per game in 2024 (19.3). However, Nix has fallen all the way to QB32 in fantasy points per game (12.1) across the first six weeks of this season.

Besides Nix not running as much coming off his season-ending ankle injury, he has the fewest yards per attempt (5.6) and the sixth-highest turnover-worthy play rate (5.0%) among 26 QBs with 150-plus dropbacks in 2026. Despite his woes to begin the year, Nix is still rostered in 66% of Yahoo leagues.

Chris Godwin Jr., WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chris Godwin Jr. has long been a consistent source of fantasy football production when he’s been healthy. But over the first six weeks of this season, Godwin is the WR66 in fantasy points per game (7.6), and he’s yet to clear 10.0 fantasy points in a game.

Along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ aerial attack taking a step back with rookie Jalon Daniels, Godwin has to compete for targets with Emeka Egbuka and rookie Ted Hurst. Even with the third-highest catch rate (82.1%) among 68 WRs with 20-plus targets, Godwin has the fifth-fewest yards per route run (1.02).

Mark Andrews, TE, Baltimore Ravens

Mark Andrews has possessed a valuable fantasy role over the years as the starting TE in a Lamar Jackson-led offense. That being said, Andrews is the TE25 in fantasy points per game (7.5) through six weeks, and he’s produced 10-plus fantasy points just twice.

In addition to the Baltimore Ravens deploying other TEs in their offense this season, Andrews has the third-fewest yards per reception (7.9), the fewest yards after the catch per reception (2.4), and the fifth-fewest yards per route run (1.30) among 20 TEs with 25-plus targets. At the moment, Andrews is still rostered in 75% of Yahoo leagues.

Jake Ferguson, TE, Dallas Cowboys

Jake Ferguson has been mentioned in this article a few times this season, but the veteran TE is still rostered in 62% of Yahoo leagues. Even though Ferguson scored 20.3 fantasy points in Week 2, he’s the TE26 in fantasy points per game (7.4).

Ferguson has failed to score 5-plus fantasy points in four of his first six starts in 2026. Of the 27 TEs with 20-plus targets this season, Ferguson also has the fewest yards per reception (6.8), the second-fewest yards after the catch per reception (2.7), and the fewest yards per route run (0.65).
