Of course, just as we wrote in the standard rankings, Austin Hooper wins the matchup sweepstakes this week against Arizona. He’s already been a top-tier tight end this season, especially in PPR with his consistent volume. He’ll be a favorite DFS play this week, too.
WEEK 6 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Gerald Everett broke out on a prime-time stage on Thursday Night Football last week for the Rams. He had seven catches for 136 yards, showing off both potential for volume and dynamic after-the-catch ability. It’s unlikely that he’ll see such high usage every week because the L.A. offense has so many weapons. But in his best weeks, in a high-volume passing offense, Everett will be a fantasy starter.
WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver
Chris Herndon returns from suspension this week for the Jets, and he’s a borderline fantasy starter assuming Sam Darnold is back from mono. As a rookie, Herndon averaged 2.5 catches in the games he started, so maybe he’s not any more of a PPR option than a standard option. But at a position without a lot of options, Herndon might be worth a pickup. (Update: Herndon is out this week with a hamstring strain.)
Week 6 sees the first four-team bye week of the season. Fantasy owners will be without Darren Waller, Eric Ebron, Jack Doyle, Dawson Knox and Trey Burton.
