Fantasy Football week 6 Starts/Sits


Here we are, week 6 of the NFL and your fantasy football season. We have seen a trade in the NFL. RB Adrian Peterson goes from backup in New Orleans to starter with the Arizona Cardinals. How will this affect your lineup going forward? Hopefully, you still wire active. Here are your Week 6 Starts n Sits. (Bye Weeks: Seahawks, Cowboys, Bengals, Bills)

Start Em

Quarterback

Deshaun Watson – Plains and simple the kid is H.O.T! He has 10 TDs in his last two games. They have a matchup in week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are giving up 20 PPG.

Running Back

C.J. Anderson – The Broncos are coming off their bye week. They should be fresh and ready to play a weak Giants team. This should be a no-brainer.

Wide Receiver

Kelvin Benjamin – The Eagles are ranked 29th in pass def. This should allow Benjamin and Newton to hook up a few times in the game.

Tight End

Austin Seferian-Jenkins – Patriots are averaging 17 PPG to opposing TEs. Last week ASJ had a nice day against the Browns with 15 fantasy points. He should see more good production this week.

Kicker

Dustin Hopkins – The 49ers are a good defense for opposing kickers. They have given up 11 or more fantasy points in four out of five weeks to the opposition.

Defense

Kansas City Chiefs – The Steelers are a struggle right now. They do not know if they want to throw or run. Big Ben is not very good on the road either. Play the Chiefs.

Sit Em

Quarterback

Carson Wentz – Last week Wentz had a solid game against the Cardinals at home. This is a short week and on the road. Continue to use him in matchup situations. Just not this week.

Running Back

Aaron Jones – Jones produced a 100 yard game last week against the Cowboys. He does not have a good matchup this week against the Vikings. Keep the rookie down.

Wide Receiver

Terrelle Pryor – Until Pryor has consecutive high-scoring games I would keep him down. Even against a poor secondary such as the 49ers.

Tight End

Ed Dickson – Don’t fall foolishly for the amazing week he had in week 5. The Eagles may be poor against the pass but not against the TE.

Kicker

Phil Dawson – Although Dawson has been kicking well this season, this week is not viable for him in fantasy. The Bucs are only giving 7 FPPG this season.

Defense

New York Jets

The Jets are a matchup defense. Last week they were a solid play against the Cleveland Browns. This week not so much. The Patriots are only allowing 4 FPPG to opposing defenses.

There you have your week 6 starts n sits. The Guru went 3-2 last week. What will this week bring? We will soon find out.
