Week 6 Wide Receiver Rankings Fantasy Football

Tier 2: Proven Solid WR2s

The players in this tier are all must-starts this week and will provide plenty of fantasy value throughout the season:

• McMillan continues to put up solid numbers, but he has yet to break out. He gets a great chance to do just that against the Cowboys in Week 6.
• With the injury to McLaurin, Samuel has looked like vintage Deebo this season. He has three top 12 finishes on the year and gets a great matchup against the Bears this week. If McLaurin does play, Samuel will get a slight downgrade in the rankings.
• Waddle stepped up in the absence of Hill, scoring 23 fantasy points and finishing as a top ten wide receiver on the week. He will be a top 20 wide receiver for Week 6.

Tier 3: WR3s With Something to Prove

This tier of players includes wide receivers who are all borderline WR starts this week, depending on the size of your league:

• Doubs had a bye in Week 5, but scored almost 30 fantasy points in the Packers game the week before. He only had six receptions, but he scored three touchdowns. He gets a great matchup against the struggling Bengals in Week 6.
• Brown had another poor performance, scoring single-digit fantasy points for the fourth time in five weeks this season. He will try to get back on track against a bad Giants secondary on Thursday Night Football.

Tier 4: Potential Flex WRs

These guys are FLEX options to fill out your starting lineup:

• Shaheed caught the big-play touchdown, scoring over 21 fantasy points in the Saints first victory of the season. This is the fourth straight week with exactly four receptions. He doesn’t have the target share to be a trustworthy start, so he is just a boom-or-bust option.
• If Pearsall and Jennings are both out again for the 49ers, Kendrick Bourne will be a FLEX option for fantasy managers after scoring 24.2 fantasy points in Week 5.
