Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 6:
Calvin Ridley, WR, Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that the team has to "keep finding ways to use" wide receiver Calvin Ridley's skill set, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. "He played well for us down the stretch on Sunday, and we're going to need that to continue ... We protected well, too, which helped," Callahan added.
After a quiet start to the season through four weeks that saw Ridley go over 50 yards just once in a single game with no touchdowns, he broke out in Sunday's upset win over the Arizona Cardinals for a 5-131-0 line on a season-high 10 targets. The 30-year-old still hasn't scored in 2025, but his Week 5 performance was a breath of fresh air for his fantasy managers.
Hopefully, his down-the-field chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward continues to improve, but even if it does, there are going to be more frustrating outings. He'll have a good matchup to keep things going in a Week 6 contest against the one-win Las Vegas Raiders.
Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had an impressive outing in the win versus the Eagles on Sunday. While leading the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards, Sutton showed some dominant contested catches to help out the offense. Outside of his week 2 dud, Sutton has posted fringe WR1 numbers in every other week.
The developments of the rest of the receiver room should only help Sutton elevate his game as teams are forced to pay attention to more than one receiver. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton clearly trust Sutton the most in crucial moments, which should secure Sutton as a high-upside WR2 in all matchups going forward.
Xavier Worthy, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
After missing Thursday's practice, Kansas City Chiefs second-year wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder/ankle) was a full participant on Friday and carries no injury designation for Sunday night's clash with the Lions. Since returning from the shoulder injury that knocked him out of the season opener, Worthy has averaged 8.5 targets, 5.5 receptions, and 86 yards from scrimmage in the last two games, as Andy Reid and Matt Nagy have made an obvious effort to get him designed touches.
In what should be the last game played without suspended receiver Rashee Rice, and what could turn into a primetime shootout, Worthy is a high upside WR2/flex play in Week 6.
Romeo Doubs, WR, Green Bay Packers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has recorded 13 catches for 179 yards and four touchdowns on 19 targets through four games so far this season. The Packers like to spread the ball around to multiple different players in the passing game, which is part of the reason for Doubs' middling target volume (4.75 targets per game).
Still, Doubs may be Green Bay's most reliable receiver in terms of fantasy production because he has been the team's leading snap-getter at the position in each of the team's first four games. In two full games without Packers wideout Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot), Doubs has played at least 89% of the team's offensive snaps. Heading into a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, Doubs profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3/flex option.
J.K. Dobbins, RB, Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has "been fantastic," according to Broncos head coach Sean Payton. The 26-year-old is in his first year with the team and has gotten off to a fast start to the season, rushing for 402 yards and four touchdowns on 77 carries through five games. Dobbins does not offer much as a receiver (six total receptions), but he's been the clear lead rusher in a Broncos backfield that also features RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie.
Health has always been a question mark for Dobbins, as he had played in just 22 games over his previous three seasons coming into 2025. However, if he stays healthy, it does not appear he's in any danger of losing his current role in Denver.
Dobbins profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 6 against the New York Jets.
