Fantasy Football Buy/Sell/Hold Week 6

Davante Adams has been flying under the radar this season, which feels weird to even say. With Puka Nacua putting up video game numbers, Adams has basically been cast as the “other guy” in the Rams’ offense. But let’s not kid ourselves, Adams is still the more polished, more dangerous receiver, and a second-half surge feels inevitable.

Even while playing Robin to Puka’s Batman, Adams is quietly putting up 9.2 targets and 71.4 yards per game. That’s not washed-up territory, that’s “ready to pop off” territory. Right now, his fantasy value couldn’t be lower because Puka’s soaking up all the spotlight, but that won’t last forever. If you can buy low on him, this is your chance because the storm’s coming, and he’s wearing No. 17.

Buy – Jaylen Warren

If you went Hero RB or Zero RB this year, 2025 was the perfect season to pull it off because, wow, what a steal Jaylen Warren turned out to be. With an average ADP of 84, most people thought he’d be nothing more than a flex fill-in. And with Aaron Rodgers under center, a guy who’s never exactly been Mr. Checkdown, expectations were low. Yeah… about that.

Warren’s been cooking. He’s averaging 14.8 fantasy points per game without a single rushing touchdown or even cracking 50 yards on the ground. That’s absurd efficiency and pure usage upside waiting to explode. Coming off the injury and a bye week, this is your window to trade for him before Week 6.

The schedule sets up beautifully down the stretch, too. Miami in Week 15 and Detroit in Week 16? That’s championship-week gold. If you can buy Warren now, do it before he becomes untouchable.

Sell – Xavier Worthy

Xavier Worthy’s 2025 season hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. When Rashee Rice got hit with that six-game suspension, most fantasy managers thought Worthy was a breakout waiting to happen. Instead, the football gods laughed. Three plays into the season, Worthy wrecks his shoulder and misses the next two weeks. Brutal.

Since returning in Week 4, he’s been solid, not spectacular, but solid. The speed is still there, the routes are crisp, but those signature game-breaking touchdowns we were promised? Still MIA. And now with Rice coming back in Week 7, things get even murkier. We’ve all seen how much Mahomes loves feeding Rice, and that’s going to eat into Worthy’s targets.

But here’s the wildcard: we haven’t actually seen Worthy, Rice, and Hollywood Brown all on the field together yet. That could change everything. Maybe Rice’s return opens up deeper lanes for Worthy to finally unleash that track-star speed. Just don’t be shocked if the big plays come at the cost of consistent volume because in Kansas City, somebody’s getting left out every week.

Sell – George Pickens

George Pickens has been playing like a man possessed since Week 2, averaging 71.4 yards per game and racking up five touchdowns in his last four outings. This is exactly why Dallas went out and got him. The upside was always there, and now we’re finally seeing it.

But here comes the curveball: CeeDee Lamb is almost back. And when Lamb’s in the lineup, he’s not just Dak’s favorite target, he is the passing game. Pickens’ presence on the outside will help open up space for Lamb, but it’ll likely come at the cost of his own production.

I’d expect both Pickens and Jake Ferguson to take a bit of a hit, though let’s be real, the tight end landscape is so thin that you’re better off holding Ferguson and hoping he doesn’t fall off too much. Pickens, on the other hand, is a prime sell-high candidate. If you can flip him for someone like Drake London or Rashee Rice, that’s a move you made yesterday.

Hold – Marvin Harrison Jr.

Marv Harrison Jr. is a flat-out baller. Don’t let the box scores fool you. Yeah, for the second straight season, the numbers haven’t fully popped, but that doesn’t mean the kid isn’t legit. He flashed plenty of talent as a rookie, even if the offense barely used him. This year? The stats aren’t matching the draft-day hype, but he’s still putting up a solid 61.2 yards per game on 6.2 targets.

Here’s the thing: Marv isn’t the problem. Sure, he’s still polishing parts of his game, but when your offensive coordinator refuses to scheme plays around your best weapon, what can you do? And Kyler? Let’s be honest, he looks more focused on the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 than finding Marv downfield.

If the Cardinals keep sliding, I wouldn’t be shocked to see their OC replaced by midseason. The good news? The back half of the schedule softens up, and that’s when Harrison Jr. is going to remind everyone why he was a top pick. Stay patient

Hold – Tee Higgins

If you’re a Tee Higgins owner, should you be panicking? Not quite, but yeah, there’s a little reason to sweat. Through five weeks, Higgins has just 13 catches and two touchdowns, and that’s not exactly WR2 territory. Still, help might be on the way. Enter Joe Flacco, yes, the same Joe Flacco who’s somehow still out here slinging deep balls at 40.

The Bengals defense has been a mess, which means plenty of high-scoring, pass-heavy games ahead. That’s exactly the kind of chaos Higgins can thrive in. So before you toss him on your bench for the “hot waiver guy of the week,” take a breath. You don’t want to be the one watching Higgins drop 25 points from your bench. There’s light at the end of this tunnel, and it might just look like a vintage Flacco moon ball.
