Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes will take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday night in Week 6. Mahomes completed 29 of 41 pass attempts (71%) for 318 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite the loss, the Chiefs superstar set a new season-high for passing yards and completion percentage. Mahomes also rushed six times for 60 yards and a touchdown in Week 5. Kansas City's offense hasn't quite hit its stride, but Mahomes has still been valuable for fantasy. The 30-year-old has recorded at least 57 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown three times in five weeks, giving him a strong floor to go along with his passing production. Mahomes should continue being a valuable fantasy asset against the Lions, who have scored the most points in the league this season. The Sunday night matchup has the highest total of the week, meaning that Mahomes and the Chiefs will need to score a lot to keep up with Detroit. Mahomes is ranked QB4 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a strong QB1 this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Jaylen Warren (knee) is set to return to action in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. Though
Kenneth Gainwell impressed in Warren's absence, the latter is expected to reclaim RB1 duties immediately after practicing in full all week. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check, however, as the Browns are allowing the fewest yards per carry and third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. If Pittsburgh is forced to lean on the passing attack, Warren should remain involved as a key target for quarterback
Aaron Rodgers, especially with
Calvin Austin III (shoulder) sidelined. While this isn't the most appealing matchup, Warren still checks in as the RB26 in RotoBaller's half-PPR rankings and profiles as a high-end flex play in most formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers is returning from a bye in Week 5 for an AFC North showdown against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cleveland has been tough on opposing quarterbacks, holding the position to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game. However, with the Browns even more dominant against the run, Pittsburgh may be forced to lean on Rodgers and the air attack despite
Jaylen Warren's return. Though receiver
Calvin Austin III (shoulder) has been ruled out, Rodgers could find success with his favorite target,
DK Metcalf, after the two displayed strong chemistry in Week 4. Still, this contest is expected to be a low-scoring defensive battle, keeping Rodgers in the low-end QB2 range in superflex leagues.

Dallas Cowboys running back
Javonte Williams has been one of the best backs in the league early in the season. The 25-year-old has found a new home in Dallas and appears to be earning himself a nice payday at the end of the season. Last week, Williams rushed 16 times for a season-high 135 yards with a touchdown in the win over the New York Jets. Williams has rushed for over 75 yards in four of the first five games this season. He remains an elite RB1 for the upcoming plus-matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback
Dak Prescott has been on another level lately. Over the last two games, Prescott has thrown for 556 yards with seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. He's missing his top wide receiver in
CeeDee Lamb (ankle), but somehow is putting together fantastic numbers without him. Now, Prescott heads into a plus-matchup against the Carolina Panthers defense in Week 6. The 32-year-old has found a way to get it done without Lamb and he figures to do it again on Sunday. Fantasy managers should consider Prescott a top tier QB1 for this weekend

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Calvin Ridley finally was able to have success on the field during last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley came into last week's game with three receptions for 57 yards over his last two games. The 30-year-old came out of nowhere and posted a huge performance in the win. Ridley hauled in five of his 10 targets for 131 yards, but was held out of the endzone. The hope is that Ridley and rookie quarterback
Cam Ward continue building chemistry each week. Ridley has a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. Fantasy managers should feel fine with plugging in Ridley as a WR3.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard continues to be a solid contributor early in the season. Last week, Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 67 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. Pollard has rushed for 60 yards or more in four of his first five games of the season. The return of
Tyjae Spears figures to slowly take away some of Pollard's value, but for now fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. Pollard has a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders defense in Week 6. He should be able to offer low-end RB2 value for this weekend. Pollard continues succeeding, so the Titans are likely going to continue feeding him the ball.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback
Cameron Ward was able to have more success through the air during last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Ward completed 21-of-39 passing attempts for a career-high 265 passing yards with zero touchdowns and one interception in the win. The 23-year-old helped lead a fourth-quarter comeback and finally started building chemistry with
Calvin Ridley. Despite that, Ward hasn't done enough on the field to warrant starting even against the shaky Las Vegas Raiders defense in Week 6.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker
Daniel Carlson remains a low-upside option for fantasy managers despite a potentially favorable Week 6 matchup against the Titans. The Raiders' offense has struggled to sustain drives, posting the league's second-highest turnover rate at 18.5%, and quarterback
Geno Smith's inconsistency compounds Carlson's limited scoring opportunities. Even in games with red zone chances, the Raiders' inefficiency reduces Carlson's fantasy ceiling, making him a risky play. Until Las Vegas' offense becomes more consistent and turnover-prone plays are minimized, Carlson is unlikely to provide the reliable fantasy production owners hope for, and those with stronger options at the position should continue looking elsewhere for week-to-week stability.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After missing last week's game, Jennings has been a limited participant in practice this week. It sounds like Jennings is trending towards being a game-time decision for Sunday's game. That's not exactly great news for fantasy managers with this game being a 4:25 pm ET kickoff this weekend. That means, fantasy managers will need to have another late afternoon option in case Jennings is unable to go. If active, Jennings should offer WR3 value with quarterback
Mac Jones (oblique, knee) also questionable for this game.

The Las Vegas Raiders defense has endured a rough start to the season, logging negative fantasy outputs twice and only delivering in their Week 1 matchup against the Patriots. However, Week 6 presents a prime opportunity for a rebound as they face a struggling Tennessee Titans offense. The Titans have surrendered the second-most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season and continue to rank near the bottom in nearly every major offensive category. With Maxx Crosby anchoring the pass rush, the Raiders have a strong chance to generate turnovers and sacks against a mistake-prone Titans squad. Fantasy managers seeking a streaming option should look no further--Las Vegas profiles as a sneaky top-10 defensive play this week with legitimate upside in a favorable matchup.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Michael Mayer is on track to return in Week 6 after being a full participant in practice throughout the week. Mayer has not played since suffering a concussion on September 21 but is expected to reclaim the starting role with
Brock Bowers (knee) still sidelined. While Mayer doesn't offer the same explosive playmaking ability as Bowers, his steady hands and blocking versatility should make him a reliable complementary option in the Raiders offense. Fantasy managers, however, should temper expectations--Mayer is projected as TE17 this week, placing him outside the starting range in standard leagues. Still, with Bowers' recovery timeline uncertain, Mayer could see expanded opportunities in the weeks ahead and is worth monitoring as a potential streamer or stash in deeper formats.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Malik Washington had his busiest game of the season in Week 5 against the Panthers. He played about his normal amount of snaps but set a season-high with four catches on his five targets. He ended up with no yards on those four catches, but he did seem to get a little more work with
Tyreek Hill (knee) unavailable for the first time this year. Washington has shown big-play ability in the return game, but he hasn't been able to get loose for any big receptions. He'll have a tough matchup this week against the Chargers, which is why he's only the WR57 in RotoBaller's rankings, but he does bring boom-or-bust potential if you need a deep league or DFS flier at receiver

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver
Jack Bech is beginning to make his presence felt, turning in his most productive game of the season in Week 5. After playing just 10% of snaps in Week 4, Bech saw his snap share jump to 53% and drew five targets, finishing with a career-high 27 receiving yards. While those numbers don't yet warrant fantasy consideration in standard formats, the increased involvement is an encouraging sign for the rookie's development. If Bech continues to earn a steady role in the Raiders' offensive rotation, he could emerge as a deeper-league stash with intriguing dynasty upside. For now, Bech should remain on the fantasy radar as a potential riser in an offense still searching for consistent playmakers aside from
Ashton Jeanty.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker remains an intriguing name for fantasy managers, but continues to struggle with consistency heading into Week 6. The speedy wideout has shown flashes of big-play ability, yet his week-to-week production remains unpredictable, making him a tough player to trust in starting lineups. Tucker's boom-or-bust nature keeps him just outside of the flex range for most fantasy formats, though his increasing involvement in the Raiders' offense makes him a worthy stash candidate. As the team continues to search for reliable playmakers with
Brock Bowers sidelined, Tucker's explosive potential gives him long-term appeal, but until he develops steadier usage and target volume, he's best viewed as a bench stash in all leagues rather than a dependable weekly starter.
