Week 6 TE Start/Sit
Week 6 TE Start/Sit Week 6 is here, and by now fantasy rosters are starting to take shape — for better or worse. With injuries, bye weeks, and surprising breakouts shaking things up, every lineup decision counts. Written by Adam Krautwurst STARTS Mark Andrews Mark Andrews draws a soft matchup against the Rams, who continue to struggle against tight ends after finishing dead last versus the position in 2023. They’ve surrendered touchdowns to a TE in three straight games. Andrews leads Baltimore in red-zone looks and should capitalize here. Mason Taylor Mason Taylor is quietly emerging as a safety valve for Justin Fields, commanding 19 targets over the past two weeks. If Patrick Surtain locks down Garrett Wilson, Taylor’s volume should remain strong enough to make him a viable streaming play at tight end. SITS Juwan Johnson Juwan Johnson’s production has dipped sharply, with targets trending down as Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara eat into his opportunities. Facing a disciplined Patriots defense, Johnson’s floor is too low to justify starting. Kyle Pitts Kyle Pitts has clawed back into relevance but draws the Bills, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points and third-fewest yards to tight ends. With limited scoring chances, Pitts is better left on benches this week. QB Start em Sit em RB Start em Sit em WR Start em Sit em
Week 6 WR Start/Sit
Week 6 WR Start/Sit Week 6 is here, and by now fantasy rosters are starting to take shape — for better or worse. With injuries, bye weeks, and surprising breakouts shaking things up, every lineup decision counts. Written by Adam Krautwurst STARTS Josh Downs Josh Downs is finally seeing the usage many fantasy managers expected. He led the Colts in targets and catches last week and now faces an Arizona defense that’s vulnerable underneath. Slot receivers have averaged nearly 90 yards and a score per game against the Cardinals. Downs’ volume makes him a strong WR3 with WR2 potential. Stefon Diggs Stefon Diggs remains red-hot after posting 247 yards and 16+ PPR points in consecutive games. Despite a tough matchup with the Saints, New Orleans has already allowed multiple wideouts to top 17 PPR points this year. Diggs should stay productive as a dependable WR2. SITS Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson has been outstanding, but his Week 6 matchup against Denver — and Patrick Surtain II — is brutal. Surtain has held multiple star receivers under 10 fantasy points this season, making Wilson a tough start outside of deeper formats. Jameson Williams Jameson Williams remains a boom-or-bust option, ranking near the bottom of the league in catch rate despite elite air yards. The Chiefs defense has allowed the lowest completion rate and passer rating on deep throws. Williams’ volatility makes him an easy sit. QB Start em Sit em RB Start em Sit em TE Start em Sit em
Week 6 RB Start/Sit
Week 6 RB Start/Sit Week 6 is here, and by now fantasy rosters are starting to take shape — for better or worse. With injuries, bye weeks, and surprising breakouts shaking things up, every lineup decision counts. Written by Adam Krautwurst STARTS Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson keeps finding ways to stay fantasy-relevant, whether as a receiver or goal-line hammer. He’s coming off a two-touchdown performance and remains heavily trusted in key situations. Facing a Saints defense that’s looked better on paper than on film, Stevenson is a solid RB2 with scoring upside. J.K. Dobbins J.K. Dobbins continues to dominate the Denver backfield with over 50% of snaps and all the short-yardage work. He leads the NFL in runs of 10+ yards and has scored in every game this season. The Jets have allowed the seventh-most rushing yards to running backs, and with game script in his favor, Dobbins should deliver another steady outing. SITS Derrick Henry Derrick Henry remains healthy but hampered by game flow. With Baltimore’s defense forcing shootouts and the Rams projected for 30+ points, Baltimore will likely be in catch-up mode, limiting Henry’s touches. He’s a risky start in Week 6. Jaylen Warren Jaylen Warren faces a brutal Browns defense that ranks third in fewest fantasy points allowed to RBs. With Kenneth Gainwell also mixing in, the workload is too unpredictable. Both backs are best left on the bench. QB Start em Sit em WR Start em Sit em TE Start em Sit em
Week 6 QB Start/Sit
Week 6 QB Start/Sit Week 6 is here, and by now fantasy rosters are starting to take shape — for better or worse. With injuries, bye weeks, and surprising breakouts shaking things up, every lineup decision counts. Written by Adam Krautwurst STARTS Matt Stafford Matt Stafford has been on a tear, topping 375 yards and throwing three touchdowns in back-to-back games. After torching the 49ers, he now gets a depleted Ravens defense that’s surrendered the second-most passing yards and the most touchdowns through the air. Baltimore has also allowed the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks while generating little pressure. Stafford stays hot — ride the wave. Jordan Love Jordan Love erupted for 32.3 fantasy points before Green Bay’s bye and now faces a Bengals defense that’s been generous to opposing QBs. Cincinnati has allowed four straight signal-callers to top 20 points, including Trevor Lawrence and Jared Goff, both clearing 25. Love profiles as a top-10 fantasy quarterback this week. SITS Kyler Murray Kyler Murray has topped 20 fantasy points only twice this season and now deals with a foot injury that could limit his rushing. The Colts rank eighth in fewest fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks, holding nearly every passer under 14 points. Murray belongs on the bench in single-QB leagues. Trevor Lawrence Trevor Lawrence’s big Week 5 feels unsustainable. He had more rushing production than usual, but Seattle’s defense ranks among the league’s best at creating pressure and holding opposing passers in check. Don’t chase last week’s numbers in this matchup. RB Start em Sit em WR Start em Sit em TE Start em Sit em
Respected Money Breakdown: Eagles vs Giants TNF Week 6
Thursday Night Football Respected Money Breakdown: Eagles vs Giants Week 6 of the 2025 season kicks off on Thursday Night with an NFC East battle between Jalen Hurts and the Eagles (4-1) and Jaxson Dart and the Giants (1-4). Written by Frank Taddeo, @RespectedMoney on X TOP PLAYS RB Saquon Barkley – Over 2.5 Receptions (+103) Barkley has only rushed for 30, 43 and 46 yards on the ground over the last three weeks against the Broncos, Buccaneers and Rams, respectively. After three straight brutal matchups he now gets to face his former club, who are allowing a whopping 5.6 yards per rush to opposing RBs through five games. A deeper dive reveals that three opposing backs have surpassed this demand against the Giants through five weeks: Jacory Croskey-Merritt (82 yards), Javonte Williams (97 yards) and Omarion Hampton (128 yards). We also can not forget the revenge motivation here for Barkley, who torched Big Blue for 176 yards on the ground last season. However, instead we will pivot and target his receptions market at plus-odds. At a total of 2.5 catches at +103, the value is there investing in a line he has surpassed in four of five games this season. A deeper dive reveals that four RBs have surpassed this demand against the Giants this season: (Ekeler, 3; J. Williams, 7; O. Hampton, 5 and Kamara 4). Expect Barkley to become the 5th player at plus-odds. WR – A.J. Brown Over 4.5 Receptions (-118) Since only getting one target in Week 1 against the Cowboys, Brown has witnessed strong target volume seeing 8-plus targets in four straight games. The Eagles star WR1 has eclipsed this line in three of five games and we know Hurts will be looking his way in prime time against a New York defense surrendering 14.8 receptions per game to opposing wide receivers. A deeper dive reveals that seven wideouts have eclipsed this projection against the Giants secondary this season: (Samuel, 7; Pickens, 5; Lamb, 9; T. Thornton, 5; Q. Johnston, 8, K. Allen, 5 and Olave 7.) RB – Cam Skattebo Over 2.5 Receptions (+120) / Over 13.5 Rec Yds (-104) Fresh off hauling in six of seven targets for 45 yards against the Saints, the Giants’ talented rookie RB continues to fly under the radar in many markets. With fellow 2025 rookie draft class member Jaxson Dart under the center, expect several checkdown opportunities against the Eagles vaunted pass rush. Philadelphia has struggled to contain pass-catching backs, allowing 4.2 receptions per game to the position. Specifically, over the last two games, three RBs have surpassed this demand: (B. Irving, 5; R. White, 5 and R.J. Harvey, 3). Expect Skattebo to become the 4th player at solid plus-odds, while also investing in over 13.5 receiving yards against an Eagles’ defense that has allowed a shocking 170 total receiving yards to opposing RBs over that same two-game span. Performance Recap After five weeks, Vegas vs FullTime projections is up double-digit units in profits: ✅Week 1: 5-6 (+6.15 UNITS)📈 ✅Week 2: 7-10 (+7.25 UNITS)📈 ✅Week 3: 4-1 (+4.3 UNITS)📈 Week 4: 3-6 (-1.95 UNITS) Week 5: 3-6 (-2.10 UNITS) 🔥Overall YTD: 22-29 (+13.65 UNITS)📈

FullTime Fantasy: Week 5 Injury Report & Waiver Radar
FullTime Fantasy: Week 5 Injury Report & Waiver Radar FullTime Fantasy goes over the full injury report from Week 5 and the biggest names to target on the waiver wire before Week 6. Written by Duke Deming FullTime Fantasy goes over the full injury report from Week 5 and the biggest names to target on the waiver wire before Week 6. Week 5 Injury Report Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL) Missed Week 5 game against Houston Texans with a hamstring injury. He looks to suit up for Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Held out of Week 5 matchup with knee injury. He is considered week-to-week, and his timeline to return is uncertain. Bucky Irving (RB – TB) Missed week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks with foot and shoulder issues. Rachaad White took over the majority of workload in the backfield. Irving is expected to miss at least one more week. CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) Remained out for the second week in a row with an ankle injury. Lamb has a chance to return against the Panthers in Week 6. Continue to monitor his designation throughout the weekend. Omarion Hampton (RB – LAC) Left Week 5 game against Commanders with ankle injury and did not return. He was seen in walking boot and was placed on the IR on Monday, meaning he will miss a minimum of four games. Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR) Missed Week 5 matchup with calf injury. Rico Dowdle took off for over 200 scrimmage yards and a touchdown versus the Miami Dolphins. Hubbard’s status is up in the air for Week 6. Brock Purdy (QB – SF) Missed Week 5 victory with toe injury, and has a chance to play in Week 6. Mac Jones continues to get reps under center during Purdy’s absence. Mike Evans (WR – TB) Remained out with hamstring injury for the second straight game. Emeka Egbuka and Sterling Shepard continue to step up during Evans’ absence. Evans has yet to return to the practice field and is expected to miss more time. Jaylen Warren (RB – PIT) Missed Week 5 game with knee injury. The severity of his injury is unknown. Kenneth Gainwell posted a strong game in Warren’s absence. Brenton Strange (TE – JAX) Strange suffered a non-contact hip injury and did not return to the game. He is headed to short term injured reserve and could return Week 11 at the earliest. Week 5 Waiver Wire Radar Sam Darnold (QB – SEA) – Darnold had a breakout game versus Tampa Bay in Week 5 with 341 yards and 4 touchdowns. He remains a strong option versus Jacksonville in Week 6. Bryce Young (QB – CAR) – Continues to heat up with the Carolina Panthers. Young has a favorable schedule in upcoming weeks versus Dolphins, Cowboys, and Jets. Kenneth Gainwell (RB – PIT) – Played a great game versus Minnesota in Jaylen Warren’s absence. Gainwell had 134 total yards and two touchdowns. He will continue to play a strong role if Warren remains out with an injury. Kendre Miller (RB – NO) – Played a season-high percentage of snaps and had more carries than Kamara. If Kamara misses any time or is traded, Miller will have high value in New Orleans’ offense. Kimani Vidal/ Hassan Haskins (RB- LAC) – Omarion Hampton will miss at least four games on IR. It is currently unclear which running back will take over the bulk of the workload, but Vidal and Haskins are both worth adds on the waiver wire. Kendrick Bourne (WR – SF) – Posted a monster game with 10 catches and 142 yards with Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings sidelined. Has high value with injuries to San Francisco’s receiving room. AJ Barner (TE – SEA) – Continues to find the endzone with Seattle. Barner is forming a nice connection with Sam Darnold and has scored four touchdowns this season. Jake Tonges (TE – SF) – Beneficiary of injuries to San Francisco offense. Put up a strong game in Week 5 and remains a viable add during Kittle’s absence. Week 6 Byes HOU, MIN NFL Injuries

Week 5 On the Mark: Top Prop Picks
Week 5 On the Mark After a very successful 2-1 “Mark” in Week 4 (+2.53 units), we have our sights locked on several players ready to outperform their projections before the calendar flips to October. Written by Mark Deming, former #1 ranked player in the world Let’s dive right in! WR Michael Pittman over 5 1/2 receptions +110 Colts Adonai Mitchell could see a decreased role from a pivotal Week 4 miscue and with fellow WR Alec Pierce out with a concussion, Pittman should be featured versus the Raiders. Full-time fantasy advanced metrics project Pittman for 6+ receptions. Through four games Pittman is averaging 5.25 receptions per game and should see additional opportunities in Week 5 due to WR depth issues. — Oh, and it’s his birthday! WR Khalil Shakir over 4.5 receptions +155 Full-time fantasy data is high on the Bills offensive players in Week 5 which includes Shakir projected for five receptions. Shakir’s coming off a strong Week 4 performance where he had five receptions for 69 yards and one touchdown. The +155 is an excellent round robin value. RB Omarion Hampton over 77.5 rushing yards +140 The Chargers will continue their commitment to the run game which will feature the North Carolina rookie RB. In Hampton’s first game without fellow RB Najee Harris who is on IR, was a breakout game in Week 4 that included 128 rushing yards. Hampton has an opportunity to kill it again in Week 5 versus susceptible Commanders run defense. RB Rashad White over 4.5 receptions +155 Rashad White will have a featured role versus the Seahawks with fellow running back Bucky Irving out. White has excellent hands and the strong Seattle pass rush should force QB Baker Mayfield to get rid of the ball quickly which plays into White’s strength. Strategy Insight The best way to play our premium fantasy recommendations is in a round robin format, and there is a lot of plus value in Week 5 Good luck!! NFL Stats | Player Rankings
