Fantasy Football Week 6 Rankings & Start/Sit Advice
Week 6 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice
Evan Engram (JAX) at IND: Jaguars +2 | 42 O/U
- Engram had a nice 6-69-0 receiving on 10 targets last week, and for the season he has basically functioned as another wide receiver for the team, ranking No. 3 in pass play snaps (171), routes run (155) and receptions (19).
- Against the Colts in Week, 2, Engram had 7-46-0 receiving on eight targets.
- The Colts are No. 5 in most fantasy points allowed to tight ends (13.5 FPPG).
Taysom Hill (NO) vs. CIN: Saints +1.5 | 43.5 O/U
- Hill isn’t a traditional tight end — he has just 14 routes and one target on the year — but he gets regular usage each game as a wildcat quarterback, and as such he has 21-228-5 rushing and a 22-yard touchdown passing.
- Hill leads the Saints with four carries inside the 20-yard line and three carries inside the 10 — all of which he has converted into touchdowns.
- Especially in the bye weeks, Hill’s upside is too great to ignore.
Hayden Hurst (CIN) at NO: Bengals -1.5 | 43.5 O/U
- No. 2 WR Tee Higgins (ankle) is uncertain, and Hurst’s two biggest games this year (Weeks 1 & 5, 11-99-1 receiving on 15 targets) have been when Higgins has played less than 30% of the snaps.
- The Saints will be without S P.J. Williams (quadriceps, IR) and maybe also S Marcus Maye (ribs), who hasn’t played since Week 2.
