It's a good thing wide receiver is the deepest position in fantasy football because injuries and the first week of byes do a number on our Week 6 fantasy WR rankings for standard leagues. Fortunately, we're able to pinpoint a few sleepers and worthwhile waiver streamers in what looks to be a down week for the position as a whole.Cooper Kupp (vs. Panthers in Week 5) is back to the top spot in our rankings, but Stefon Diggs (@ Chiefs) and Deebo Samuel (@ Falcons) arent far behind. Youll notice a trend this week, as outside of A.J. Brown (vs. Cowboys) the majority of our top-heavy top-10 involves wideouts with juicy matchups. Regarding Brown, the Eagles' offense is still efficient enough to where a tough matchup wont hurt him too much, but it's fair to wonder if both Brown and DeVonta Smith (vs. Cowboys) can have big games.Its also worth monitoring the statuses of Dolphins QBs Tua Tagovailoa (head) and Teddy Bridgewater (head), as they'll have an impact on where stud WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (vs. Vikings) are ranked. Considering the situation, third-string QB Skylar Thompson wasnt horrible for a seventh-round rookie thrust into game action, but neither Hill Salvador Perez Jersey nor Waddle eclipsed double-digit fantasy points in standard scoring. Hill (foot) was also stepped on late in the Dolphins 40-17 road lo s to the Jets, so well have to monitor his status as the week progre ses.WEEK 6 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | Also on the injury front, well be keeping tabs on the statuses of Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, and Jarvis Landry (vs. Bengals), Keenan Allen (vs. Broncos), Wily Peralta Jersey Tee Higgins (@ Saints), Drake London (vs. 49ers), Rashod Bateman (@ Giants), and Jahan Dotson (@ Bears), as those key pa s-catchers are nursing injuries at the moment. If any of these wideouts were to mi s Week 6, look for more run from fellow WRs Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway (vs. Bengals), Josh Palmer (vs. Broncos), Tyler Boyd (@ Saints), Olamide Zaccheaus (@ Bears), Devin Duvernay (@ Giants), and Dyami Brown (@ Bears), respectively, in their places.WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Some receivers who are on the start 'em-sit 'em bubble every week see their rankings drop because of tough matchups. London (vs. 49ers), Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, and Corey Davis (@ Packers), Duvernay (@ Giants), Dyami Brown (@ Bears), Zay Jones and Marvin Jones Jr. (@ Colts), JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (vs. Bills), George Pickens (vs. Buccaneers), and Rondale Moore (@ Seahawks) are chief among this group. Even Diontae Johnson (vs. Buccaneers) could be on the chopping block in shallow leagues.WEEK 6 DFS: | Conversely, Darnell Mooney (vs. Commanders), Darius Slayton (vs. Ravens), Julio Jones (@ Steelers), if active, Adam Thielen (@ Dolphins), Isaiah McKenzie/Khalil Shakir (@ Chiefs), and Jerry Jeudy (@ Chargers) all look like solid plays with favorable matchups, depending how deep your league is.WEEK 6 DFS LINEUPS: | The unfortunate part about the Titans, Lions, Texans, and Raiders all being on bye isn't so much the key WRs who are out (Davante Adams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Brandin Cooks, etc.). Rather, it's the favorable matchups that wide receivers won't be getting against Tenne see, Detroit, and Vegas. Plenty of owners in 12-team leagues won't feel great about their WR3s, never mind their flexes this week, Whit Merrifield Jersey so follow the targets and/or matchups and hope for a TD.WEEK 6 FANTASY PICKS: | | Note: We'll be updating these WR rankings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest changes.Rank Player1 Cooper Kupp, Rams vs. Panthers2 Stefon Diggs, Bills @ Chiefs3 Deebo Samuel, 49ers @ Falcons4 Tyreek Hill, Dolphins vs. Vikings5 Justin Jefferson, Vikings @ Dolphins6 Mike Evans, Buccaneers @ Steelers7 Ja'Marr Chase, Bengals @ Saints8 A.J.
