Here is our fantasy football start/sit article, including all the players we’re calling sleepers and duds this week. Below, let’s take a closer look at a few players to consider this week.
Ray-Ray McCloud III (WR – ATL)
“Ray-Ray McCloud III is a solid sleeper start in Week 6. It may be flying under the radar, but McCloud is an every-down player for the Falcons. He has seen 16 targets over the past two games and five or more targets in all but one game. This week, he faces a Panthers team that surrenders 7.9 yards per pass attempt (tied for second-most in the NFL). Even if the Falcons are not in a tight game, they will continue to throw and have McCloud involved.”

Rashod Bateman (WR – BAL)
“Rashod Bateman is the player outside of the top 100 in the FantasyPros flex ranking that is a good sleeper start this week. He had four receptions on eight targets last week and is becoming a nice secondary target of Lamar Jackson. In three of his five games this season, he’s had 40+ receiving yards per game. He has two receiving IDs on the season. Bateman has a strong matchup this week against Washington and the following week against Tampa. He makes for a nice bye week play for those who need wide receiver assistance.”

Dalton Schultz (TE – HOU)
“Dalton Schultz is ready to break out. With Nico Collins shelved for a spell, Schultz should be leaned on more heavily in the passing game. He already saw a season-high six targets a week ago and faces a Patriots defense that has performed below average fantasy-wise versus tight ends. At worst, Schultzy is a serviceable bye-week replacement.”
