Welcome to Week 6 of the fantasy football season!
It’s time to start thinking about setting your lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 6 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!
Among the running backs, Raheem Mostert has moved into the top eight with the absence of rookie De’von Achane. Alvin Kamara is in the top 10 against the Texans, and Breece Hall is in the top 20 despite a tough matchup against the Eagles. Derrick Henry, on the flip side, has fallen out of the top 15 backs. I also have Zack Moss ranked ahead of Jonathan Taylor, but check back for updates on that.
At wideout, Ja’Marr Chase is atop the list after a 50-point explosion a week ago. DJ Moore is in the top 10 based on his recent success and a nice matchup against the Vikings, and Jordan Addison is in the top 15 as the top option for Minnesota with Justin Jefferson out of action. Deebo Samuel, who has three targets in the last two weeks and faces the Browns this week, has fallen out of the top 30 wide receivers.
At tight end, rookie Sam LaPorta remains in the top four after another nice stat line. Dallas Goedert is back in the top five after a breakout game in Los Angeles, and Cole Kmet has emerged into a top-10 tight end after two strong games.
Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
