Luckily, a couple of mid-tier options are returning from bye weeks. T.J. Hockenson has been, for the most part, a solid starter for the owners who drafted him late, and the Lions get a favorable matchup with the Jaguars in Week 6. He can be trusted. Robert Tonyan (@ Buccaneers) is a bit more of a risk, but he has caught five TDs in his past three games. We’re not sold on Tonyan’s long-term value, but he looks like a good-enough option this week.
WEEK 6 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | D/ST | Kicker
The best streamer of the week is Eric Ebron, who has a fantastic matchup against a Browns defense that entered Week 5 allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game against TEs. Other top options include Jordan Akins (@ Titans), Trey Burton (vs. Bengals), and Kyle Rudolph/Irv Smith Jr. (vs. Falcons). The former two may be better for PPR than some of the other available options, while Rudolph and Smith are both more of boom-or-bust TD threats.
WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
The other storyline to watch this week will be the health of Noah Fant (knee). The Broncos’ tight end was set to miss Monday night’s game against the Patriots before it was postponed, but given that he had a week-to-week designation, he could see an uptick in practice opportunities if all goes well this week. We won’t bank on him playing – and thus, he will not be included in these rankings just yet – but Fant’s owners should keep an eye on him. If he is unavailable, feel free to grab one of the aforementioned streamers.
