Having just two teams on byes last Sunday likely didn't affect anyone's Fantasy football lineups too much, but the same can't be said for this week. Four teams having off undoubtedly shuffles the Week 6 Fantasy football rankings and creates some anxious Fantasy start-sit decisions. Fortunately, some players who got off to slow starts have come on strongly as of late like Drake Maye and Malik Nabers to create a deeper pool of top options to select from with Week 6 Fantasy football picks.
Injuries to monitor for the upcoming slate include Lamar Jackson (ankle), Caleb Williams (hamstring), David Montgomery (groin) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring). In addition to Smith, Philly's RB depth will be tested with its top three backs banged up, but that could present value when constructing your Fantasy football strategy.
Before setting your Week 6 Fantasy football lineups, you NEED to see the Week 6 Fantasy football rankings from SportsLine's advanced computer model.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking! That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.
Now the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its latest Week 6 Fantasy football rankings.
One player the model is high on this week: Colts receiver Josh Downs, despite him being the WR43 in PPR leagues. And a massive shocker: Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins, who ranks sixth in Fantasy points for QBs this year, doesn't crack the top 15 at his position this week!
The model is also calling for a SHOCKING quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 6 of its Week 6 Fantasy football rankings! This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.
