Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice: Chuba Hubbard, Zach Ertz, Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts

Which under-the-radar players might be able to give your fantasy team a lift? Which chalky players might not be as safe as they seem? Our featured analysts name some potential sleepers and underachievers along with start/sit advice for Week 6. Here are all of their picks, and below we dive into a few notable names.

Fantasy Football Week 6 Start/Sit Advice

Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)

“Chuba Hubbard is my play from outside the Top 100. There are two reasons why: game script + Miles Sanders‘ injury. Sanders spent time dealing with a nagging groin injury and missed practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. When you combine the injury with the game script that could mimic last week(where Hubbard received garbage time snaps), you could see a useful running back outside of the Top 100.”
– Joe Pepe (Beyond The Gridiron)

Zach Ertz (TE – ARI)

“Zach Ertz has tremendous appeal as a sleeper in Week 6. Ertz has averaged nearly 7 targets per game and has finished inside the Top 12 of TEs in three out of the five weeks. Most importantly, Week 6 has Ertz going up against the Rams, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to TEs. If you are looking outside of the Top 100 for a flex play, Zach Ertz is your sleeper.”
– Chew Russell (Going For 2)

Darnell Mooney (WR – CHI)

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Darnell Mooney has a nice game in Week 6. Mooney ran a route on over 80% of dropbacks last week but failed to convert any of his 95 air yards on 4 targets. Justin Fields has looked great throwing the ball downfield lately, and Mooney has played over 70% of snaps in three straight games now. The matchup at home against MIN is great, too. ”
– Joe Orrico (No Expert Fantasy Football)

“Take the shot w/ Darnell Mooney against the Vikings. The Bears tried to get him involved against the Commanders, and he did finish with a O-fer. But, there were narrow misses on two deep balls. I suspect that Getsy goes back to the well, and we see him involved early against a bad Minnesota secondary. ”
– Mike Harmon (Swollen Dome)

Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL)

“Kyle Pitts finally got his share of looks last week! He had 11 targets with 7 receptions for 87 yards. Hopefully, Desmond Ridder has figured out how talented this guy is and continues to pepper him with targets. If he does, eclipsing 100 yards and a touchdown shouldn’t be a surprise.”
– Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)
