Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings

WEEK 6 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS

Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings are in! Week 5 taught us many things. Tom Brady is clearly back with a vengeance, the Steelers offense is on a serious roll and Larry Fitzgerald can still do his thing. What will Week 6 have in store for us? Who should you start this weekend? Lets examine our Week 6 Rankings.

WEEK 6 QB RANKINGS

It will be interesting to see how Cam Newton plays this weekend. He is currently on track to play this Sunday against the Saints. The Saints offer a Newton a juicy match up if he can play. The New Orleans team cannot seem to play defense and are constantly in high scoring games. The Panthers need their franchise player on the field.

Matt Ryan is the best fantasy QB in terms of average points per game (unless you count Tom Brady who has had one game). Matt Ryan is taking on a tough Seattle defense. I am not saying to start him if you have a better QB available, but his rating in the ECR was criminally low. 17th? No way. Matt Ryan will produce fantasy points this weekend, he may even have a great game. The Seahawks are an intimidating defense but I do not believe it will completely limit Ryan’s production.

WEEK 6 RB RANKINGS

Oct 9, 2016; Minneapolis, MN, USA; Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (26) rushes against the Minnesota Vikings in the first quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings win 31-13. Mandatory Credit: Bruce Kluckhohn-USA TODAY Sports

Lamar Miller has a wonderful match up against the Colts. The Colts have not been good against the run (or much of anything) this season. I am expecting a decent game from Miller. You should see some good things from Miller this weekend.

I am really uncertain how Jeremy Hill will play this weekend. He went into last weeks match-up banged up and left early with an injury. I can not confidently roll him out in my fantasy line up this week. Hill will be great when healthy, however he currently is not.

The Patriots have not been allowing much rushing yardage and should put up points on the Bengals. It will not be a big rushing game for the Bengals. If you have another option for Week 6 utilize it.

WEEK 6 WR RANKINGS

Oct 6, 2016; Santa Clara, CA, USA; Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (11) catches the ball for a touchdown against San Francisco 49ers cornerback Tramaine Brock (26) during the third quarter at Levi

I feel like Doug Baldwin will be heavily utilized this week. He is Russell Wilson’s favourite target. The Seahawks take on the Falcons who give up the 10th most fantasy points to WR. The Falcons have given up a ton of points this year and I expect this game to play out in a similar manner.

Oct 9, 2016; Cleveland, OH, USA; New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (87) gives his glove to a fan after the game against the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium. The Patriots won 33-13. Mandatory Credit: Scott R. Galvin-USA TODAY Sports

WEEK 6 TE RANKINGS

It is typically the same cast of characters in the TE portion of player rankings. Rob Gronkowski and Greg Olsen sit up top. The other Patriots TE will be a Top 10 fixture for the remainder of the year. His name? Maretellus Bennett . Martellus has actually benefit from the return of Rob Gronkowski. The TE position is typically gambling that a player gets a touchdown, Martellus is a fair gamble to make week in week out. I mistakenly thought the return of Gronk would hinder him but it has only helped.

Week 6 will be another great weekend of NFL action. I look forward to the MNF Game as the Cardinals take on the Jets. I wish you all luck in your fantasy match-ups this weekend. Hopefully you all make the right decisions in terms of sits and starts.
