2022 Fantasy Football Rankings powered by FantasyProsECR (TM) – Expert Consensus Rankings

Week 6 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice

D.J. Moore (CAR) at LAR: Panthers +10.5 | 40.5 O/U

What if the “loss” of HC Matt Rhule (terminated) and QB Baker Mayfield (ankle, likely out) is addition by subtraction?
After getting six targets in each of Weeks 1-3, Moore has 19 targets (and two carries) over the past two weeks.
Even with No. 1 CB Jalen Ramsey, the Rams are No. 5 in most fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers (34.5 FPPG), and they could be without Nos. 2-4 CBs Troy Hill (groin, IR), David Long (groin) and Cobie Durant (hamstring).

Tyler Boyd (CIN) at NO: Bengals -1.5 | 43.5 O/U

No. 2 WR Tee Higgins (ankle) “played” through an injury last week, but he saw just 10 snaps with no targets, and his status is uncertain for Week 6.
In his four entire or partial games without Higgins since last year, Boyd has a respectable 20-219-2 receiving on 28 targets.
The Saints are No. 29 in defensive DVOA against supplementary wide receivers (37.1%).

Rondale Moore (ARI) at SEA: Cardinals -2.5 | 51 O/U

Since making his 2022 debut in Week 4, Moore has played an 88% snap rate and been the No. 2 wide receiver with 13 targets for 10-79-0 receiving (and three carries … for -11 yards, ugh).
The Seahawks are No. 28 in defensive pass DVOA against No. 2 wide receivers (35.2%).

K.J. Hamler (DEN) at LAC: Broncos +5 | 45.5 O/U

The Chargers are No. 28 in defensive DVOA against supplementary wide receivers (36.6%).
Let’s just say that QB Russell Wilson owes Hamler some targets …
