Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice: Cole Kmet, Logan Thomas, Michael Gallup, Jonnu Smith

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

Cole Kmet (TE – CHI)

“I know the tight end position is very tricky after the top two or three options, but Cole Kmet feels like a smash play for me lately. He’s currently at 107th in flex rankings and TE12, but I’m happily starting him over other tight ends ahead of him, like Kyle Pitts and Dallas Goedert. Kmet finished as TE1 in Week 4 and TE7 in Week 5. He’s broken out, and I’m not benching him until he gives me a good reason to do so.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)

Logan Thomas (TE – WAS)

“Logan Thomas is the TE9 this year despite missing 1.5 games because of a concussion, averaging 9.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. More importantly, the veteran leads the team in target per route run rate (18%) among players with at least 13 targets this season. Thomas is coming off his best performance this year, totaling nine receptions on 11 targets for 77 receiving yards and a touchdown, scoring 16.2 fantasy points against the Chicago Bears. Now he faces an Atlanta Falcons defense that gave up seven receptions on 10 targets for 65 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 16 fantasy points to Dalton Schultz last week and the second-most fantasy points per game to tight ends in 2023. Thomas has top-five upside in Week 6.”

Michael Gallup (WR – DAL)

“The Cowboys face the Chargers in Week 6, and that makes Michael Gallup a good sleeper start. The Chargers have conceded the most points to wide receivers so far this season, and while CeeDee Lamb will be the main beneficiary, Gallup has played ahead of Brandin Cooks in recent weeks.”
– Ben Wasley (The Fantasy First Down)

Jonnu Smith (TE – ATL)

“Jonnu Smith is an excellent sleeper for Week 6. After missing Week 1, he has since gone on to record 6 or more targets in four straight games. He has gone over 45 yards receiving in three out of four games, going over 65 yards in the last two games. His short average depth of target has made him a prime target for the struggling Desmond Ridder. Look for that to continue with another solid fantasy output this week.”
– Aaron St Denis (The League Winners)

“Only three TEs have more receiving yards than Jonnu Smith this season, even though he threw up a 0 in the opener. Over the past three weeks, no TE has more. And that span includes Kyle Pitts’ apparent Week 5 rebound game. Smith has 4, 5, 6, and 6 catches the past four weeks and now gets a weak Washington defense. Use Smith at fantasy’s worst position.”
