Risers and fallers after almost all of Week 5, plus a 49ers-Commanders preview

Week 6 delivered sharp swings, starting with the Los Angeles Rams’ 18-16 loss to Arizona. The setback came despite Rams being 12.5-point favorites, and amid key absences including left tackle Alaric Jackson, corner Trent McDuffie, and edge rusher Myles Garrett. Kicker Chad Ryland left on crutches after injuring himself while trying to tackle on the opening kickoff, and another late penalty altered the game. Arizona scored 16 points—choked by an offense missing running back Jeremiyah Love—and its defense allowed 32.4 points per game entering Week 6. Meanwhile, the Steelers, Ravens, Browns, and Titans all erased late deficits. The weekend also flagged concerns for teams like New Orleans (Giants), with Jameis Winston benched for J.J. McCarthy.
