Week 6 Wide Receivers - Rankings & Matchups Analysis

Maybe I'm too high on Jordy Nelson, but I see a ton of factors adding up for fantasy goodness here. For one, the Packers are going to have to throw to move the ball in this game. The Cowboys run defense has been surprisingly good, and Eddie Lacy will likely not be at 100% for the game. Nelson is clearly Rodgers' go-to in the red zone, and he's poised to have a huge day in Week 6.

Kelvin Benjamin has a terrific matchup against the Saints this week, but the fact that he's been dealing with discomfort in his surgically-repaired knee gives me pause. Add that to the fact that the Saints' best cornerback, Delvin Breaux, should be back in the mix and it could be another surprisingly quiet one for Benjamin.

I'm sticking it out for one more week with DeAndre Hopkins. If Brock Osweiler can't somehow find a way to connect with one of the game's best receivers against the godawful Colts secondary, then there is truly no hope. If we get another dud out of Nuk, his value will be at...#BrockBottom.

Perhaps I'm missing something that my colleagues aren't, but I don't see a ton of upside for Jeremy Maclin. While it's true that the Chiefs have had the bye week to prepare and a cupcake matchup against the Raiders, I think Andy Reid will choose to unleash Jamaal Charles now that he is supposedly back to full health. Even if Ware does a lot of the pounding down low, Charles will definitely take some of the quick-hit targets that Alex Smith thrives on. Maclin doesn't have a great shot at the end zone, and the fact that he underwhelmed in matchups against the similarly beatable Jets and Steelers secondaries has me low on him in Week 6.

Never thought I'd see the day, but Alshon Jeffery simply isn't a WR1 anymore. One of the league's best deep-ball threats is now a boom-or-bust WR2 thanks to the ultra-conservative approach that Brian Hoyer has to the quarterback position. He's content to go down low to Jordan Howard and Zach Miller, and with Cameron Meredith now in the mix (in place of Eddie Royal) Jeffery might actually be the fourth option on this team. Sad but true, I probably don't even have him ranked low enough.

I'm holding out hope that the Giants offense is going to start figuring things out, and if they do then Sterling Shepard should return to fantasy relevance. The Ravens secondary is extremely beatable, and I trust that Eli will air it out versus leaning on the running game. They're going to have to get Shepard involved if they want to get things back on track, and Ben McAdoo should have that factored into his gameplan.

I'm way up on Jamison Crowder with Jordan Reed possibly dealing with what would be his sixth concussion. All of those targets in the end zone and over the middle of the field have to go to someone, and Crowder has proven he can be effective in both of those aspects of the passing game. He should be a WR3 with upside as long as Reed is out.
