Knowing the advantageous Fantasy football matchups is key, and you can expect to see several members of the Washington Football Team high in the Week 6 Fantasy football rankings. That’s because Washington takes on the Kansas City Chiefs, a defense that is giving up 437.4 yards per game this season. That means players like running back Antonio Gibson and quarterback Taylor Heinicke could be among the top Week 6 Fantasy football picks. But can you trust a player like Washington wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who’s been held under 65 receiving yards in two of his last three outings?
A reliable set of Week 6 Fantasy football rankings can help answer those questions and assist in your Week 6 Fantasy football start-sit decisions, trade evaluations or even help you find a gem in the free agent pool the rest of your league may have missed. Therefore, before you lock in your lineups, be sure to check out the Week 6 Fantasy football rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine. It can help you make those tough decisions on which players to start and which players to leave on the bench.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine’s model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.
Last week, the model was extremely high on Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown, saying he’d finish as a top-10 player at his position. The result: Brown hauled in nine receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns against the Colts. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a huge week.
Now, the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its Fantasy football rankings for Week 6 of the 2021 NFL season. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top Week 6 Fantasy football picks
One player the model is extremely high on this week: Bengals wide receiver Ja`Marr Chase. Cincinnati’s rookie had a strong showing in the loss against the Packers, catching six of 10 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown. Chase secured an impressive 70-yard touchdown catch, giving the rookie five scores through as many games as a pro, including four of 30-plus yards.
Chase gets another mouthwatering matchup against the Lions in Week 6, a team that’s giving up 381.8 yards per game this season. SportsLine’s model ranks Chase as a top-10 wide receiver this week, making him a rock-solid WR1 option against the Lions.
And a massive shocker: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, who’s thrown three or more touchdown passes in each of his last three games, stumbles big-time and doesn’t even crack the top 15 at his position. Prescott completed 68.8 percent of his passes for 302 yards and three touchdowns last week against the Giants.
Prescott has already racked up 1,368 passing yards this season, but now he’ll face-off against the Patriots, one of the NFL’s stingiest defenses. The Patriots are giving up 317.6 yards per game on average to opposing offenses, which ranks fifth in the league. New England’s defense also held Tom Brady, who leads the NFL in passing yards, to just 269 yards and zero touchdowns two weeks ago. With such a tough matchup on Sunday, Prescott is a player to consider putting on the bench in Week 6.
