NFL Week 6 latest buzz, questions, news and fantasy tips - ESPN

We're cruising into Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season, and insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano have been making calls to sources around the league for the latest news and buzz on key situations.

This week, they got the pulse of the Raiders after Geno Smith had another iffy game. He's now up to nine interceptions on the season and hasn't delivered on the promise of Las Vegas' offseason trade.

It's all here, as our national reporters answer big questions and empty their notebooks heading into Week 6.
