Updated Week 6 Flex Rankings (Top 200)

Our updated Week 6 fantasy football Flex rankings (RB, WR, TE) for 2021. Follow these fantasy football FLEX ranks when setting your Week 6 lineups.

Welcome to Week 6 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 6 Flex rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates. These Flex rankings are geared towards making decisions for your Flex spot (RB/WR or RB/WR/TE), which in most leagues consists of running backs, wide receivers and in many cases tight ends as well:

These rankings are a consensus from four of our lead fantasy football columnists - Nick MarianoPierre Camus, Brandon Murchison and Scott Engel - who have all analyzed the NFL matchups and game slates for Week 6.

And in case you weren't aware, our very own Nick Mariano was ranked #11 overall in 2018 out of ~120 industry experts, and was ranked #9 overall the year before. So be sure to follow his rankings every week!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:
