Another week of the fantasy football season is in the books, and now that we have five data points at our disposal, we have a fairly clear understanding of each team's pecking order at the wide receiver position. Of course, week-to-week variance is inevitable (just ask DeVonta Smith), but as a whole, the sample size is large enough to really know who's who and which matchups lend themselves to breakout sleeper performances. All is taken into account in our Week 6 fantasy WR rankings for standard leagues.The Week 6 wide receiver landscape has been shifted with Justin Jefferson heading to the injured reserve, prompting his fantasy owners to search for viable fill-ins.Get everything you need to know for this upcoming week as we break down fantasy football's deepest position.MORE: Only two teams (Packers, Steelers) are idle in Week 6, so the WR pool is still plenty deep. Although the Steelers' offense is in flux, not being able to start George Pickens stings.WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS:
Blank Jersey | | | | | Green Bay's WR room is unquestionably the bigger lo s, as Christian Watson was just starting to get in his groove alongside Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.WEEK 6 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | With Jefferson out for at least the next four weeks, Stefon Diggs (vs. Giants in Week 6) sits at No. 1 in what's likely a bounce-back offensive showing from Buffalo. Diggs still got his in the Bills' five-point lo s against Jacksonville, but he could really feast against a struggling Giants defense.Tyreek Hill (vs. Panthers) is also set up for another solid receiving day in another favorite matchup. We'll see if A.J. Brown (@ Jets) can maintain his dominant play against a steady New York secondary, but he's still a safe bet to post another WR1-caliber fantasy day. Ja'Marr Chase (vs. Seahawks) had his first ma sive performance of the season and could post another solid day against an exploitable Seattle pa s defense.Cooper Kupp (vs. Cardinals) proved he's the alpha within the Rams' receiving corps, not mi sing a beat in his
Brett Martin Jersey 2023 season debut. Puka Nacua still had himself a strong fantasy day, but it's clear Kupp's the wideout Stafford's looking to the most.WEEK 6 FANTASY ADVICE: | | | On the sleeper front, Drake London (vs. Commanders), Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup (@ Chargers), Tyler Boyd (vs. Seahawks), Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn (@ Bears), and Skyy Moore/Rashee Rice/Kadarius Toney (vs. Broncos) face defenses who entered Week 5 in the top third of the league in fantasy points allowed to WRs. All are worthy of a starting spot if you have an opening, though some are better suited for deep leagues.Elsewhere, Josh Downs (@ Jaguars), Josh Reynolds (@ Buccaneers), DJ Chark (@ Dolphins), and Tyler Boyd (vs. Seahawks) make for solid streaming options if they're still available. Downs likely won't have Anthony Richardson (shoulder) throwing him pa ses this week, but could still see six-plus targets as he did in Week 5. We'll see if Amon-Ra St. Brown's healthy enough to return from an abdomen injury, but even if St. Brown plays, the Lions' offense is potent enough to support multiple fantasy wideouts.While there's not much to get amped up about for the 0-5 Panthers, Chark has some standard league appeal given how pa s-happy the Panthers are in negative game scripts. Like Reynolds, Boyd's fantasy outlook is more promising if Tee Higgins (ribs) mi ses his second straight game, but regardle s, the matchup's juicy enough to give him standalone value. K.J. Osborn and Jordan Addison (@ Bears) are flexed into significant roles in favorable matchups with Jefferson landing on the injured reserve.WEEK 6 DFS: | | | We'd be hesitant to start Rashid Shaheed (@ Texans), Courtland Sutton (@ Chiefs), and Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel (vs. Falcons), as each of these pa s-catchers faces defenses that entered Week 5 within the top third of the league in fewest fantasy points allowed to WRs. If there's a better replacement option on your bench or in free agency, it might be wise to bench them. That could even apply to Michael Thomas (@ Texans), Jerry Jeudy (@ Chiefs), or Terry McLaurin (vs. Falcons) in shallow leagues.Elsewhere on the bust front, we're just
Kyle Bird Jersey not sure year one's the time to truly see what Jaxon Smith-Njigba (@ Bengals) is capable of, as fantasy owners should continue to sit him until there's a DK Metcalf/Tyler Lockett injury. We also wouldn't touch any Giants WRs with a 10-foot pole, as we have no interest in starting Isaiah Hodgins or Darius Slayton as a deep-league flex.Ahead of Week 5, we didn't see Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen), Tee Higgins (ribs), and Treylon Burks (knee) suit up. We'll be watching all three this week, as none are sure things to play.As for in-game injuries, we saw Justin Jefferson (hamstring), Zay Jones (knee), Tank Dell (head), JuJu Smith-Schuster (head), and Wan'Dale Robinson (head) exit their respective games with injuries. For now, we've taken each of those wideouts out of our initial Week 6 rankings, but we'll be keeping a close on their team's practice reports as the week progre ses.Additionally, Mike Evans (hamstring) had an extra week to recover from his Week 4 ailment with Tampa Bay on bye, so hopefully, Baker Mayfield will get his top receiver back.As usual, we'll update these standard WR rankings throughout the week, so check back for the latest player movement and analysis.Rank Player1 Stefon Diggs, Bills vs. Giants2 Tyreek Hill, Dolphins vs. Panthers3 Ja'Marr Chase, Bengals vs. Seahawks4 Cooper Kupp,
