Evan Engram a Tough Starting Option in Week 6 Against Jets
Evan Engram has been drawing more targets in recent weeks while looking healthy again after dealing with back issues to start the season. Last week, he found the endzone for the first time this season in what was Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix's lone touchdown pass on the day. In Week 6, the Broncos will visit London to face the New York Jets, who allow 31.4 points per game to opposing offenses. Although Engram has averaged 6.5 targets per game in the past couple of weeks after missing Week 3 of the season, he will still be hard to depend on in starting lineups and is mainly a streaming option in deep leagues.

Chris Boswell Draws Tough Matchup In Week 6
Chris Boswell got off to a hot start this season but cooled off for fantasy purposes with two underwhelming outings before the team's Week 5 bye. He'll look to get back on track against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The Browns have held kickers to the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game, as their defense has made it difficult for offenses to sustain drives. Still, it's difficult to imagine the Steelers emerging victorious on Sunday without the help of Boswell's leg. His lone miss this year came on a blocked field goal attempt in Ireland against the Vikings. Fantasy managers can likely find a safer streaming option in a more favorable matchup, but Boswell's ceiling remains among the highest at the position, making him a viable starter in most formats.

Bhayshul Tuten Remains Handcuff While Dealing With Shoulder Injury
Bhayshul Tuten (shoulder) has no injury designation for Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. He was listed as a limited practice participant all week, just as he has the past few weeks. With Travis Etienne Jr. taking control of the backfield, Tuten has been nothing but a touchdown dependent backup so far this season. He at least has been solid in limited play time (two touchdowns, 3.5 yards per carry), but without an injury to Etienne Jr., Tuten has no value in the short term. He seems like an exciting prospect in dynasty, but in redraft, managers will have to continue waiting for Tuten to get his chance before he becomes fantasy relevant.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Jordan Whittington Not Reliable in Role Behind Alpha WRs
Jordan Whittington can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Whittington has seen a decent workload at times this season, including Week 4 when he played 80 percent of the snaps. However, his production has been modest at best, as he has just seven catches for 89 yards and ranks as the overall WR99 in PPR leagues. Whittington and Atwell have both been off the fantasy radar in their roles behind alpha receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. That should remain the case, despite a favorable matchup against Baltimore. As long as Nacua and Adams are healthy, Whittington and Atwell can be left on waivers.

Troy Franklin Profiles as a WR3/ Flex for Week 6 in London
Troy Franklin has continued to see around 60% of the snaps every week and will look to produce in Sunday's London game against the New York Jets. Counterpart wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been the target hog since Franklin's breakout in week 2, but Sutton will likely be covered by Jets star cornerback Sauce Garner, which increases the odds of receiving some work when on the field. On another note, the Broncos have been successful at running the ball this season and will likely look to best the Jets in London by exposing their weak run defense. Franklin will carry low-end WR3/ flex appeal and comes in as RotoBaller's WR45 heading into Week 6.

Titans Defense a Solid Streamer Against Turnover-Prone Quarterback
Brock Bowers (knee) being injured and Geno Smith failing to perform at a high level. Smith has a whopping nine interceptions to just six passing touchdowns this season, getting picked off in four of his five contests so far. We've also seen a little bit of inconsistency from Ashton Jeanty, whose production on the ground varies week to week. The Raiders have allowed the second-most fantasy points to D/ST units in 2025, ranking behind only the Cincinnati Bengals. RotoBaller has the Titans' D/ST ranked 15th this week, making them a solid streaming option in most leagues.

The Tennessee Titans D/ST hasn't been a dependable fantasy option so far this season, but that should change in Week 6. Tennessee's defense is a strong streaming option heading into their matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

RJ Harvey Still a Valuable Handcuff, Mainly a Flex Option vs. the Jets
RJ Harvey will continue to back up veteran J.K. Dobbins in the London game versus the New York Jets. Harvey has been solid for the Broncos when given the opportunity to flash for the offense. Still, with Dobbins being so reliable this season, Harvey has continued to be suppressed in the backfield. The Broncos' rookie received four carries compared to Dobbins, who had 20 rushing attempts last Sunday versus the Eagles. However, what's most notable is that he has been getting more consistent work in the passing game since Week 3, averaging 3.7 targets per game. The Jets' defense ranks at the bottom of the league, allowing 31.4 points per game. With the limited touches, it's going to be challenging to depend on Harvey as anything outside of a FLEX play. Harvey comes in as RB36 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 6.

J.K. Dobbins a Borderline RB1 in a Plus Matchup Against the Jets
J.K. Dobbins has been consistent through the first five weeks of the season, with roughly 14 points per game on average. Dobbins will look to keep things rolling in the London game versus the New York Jets. While more questions were coming into the season around how much the Broncos would lean on Dobbins as opposed to the rookie RJ Harvey, Week 5 may have finally cleared that up for fantasy managers. The former Baltimore Raven was the clear lead back ahead of Harvey in Denver's offense with 21 touches in the game. The Jets' defense has averaged 140.4 rushing yards allowed per game on the season, ranking 27th. Dobbins is a solid bet to maintain his highly efficient 5.22 YPC this season while exploiting the Jets in London on Sunday.

Davante Adams an Intriguing Touchdown Threat Against Ravens
Davante Adams is a very strong WR2 option in fantasy football ahead of his Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Adams has posted at least 13.8 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last four games, including a touchdown in three of those four. The talented veteran hasn't been quite as dominant as teammate Puka Nacua, but he's still a must-start fantasy receiver, especially with a favorable matchup on tap. This week, Adams faces the Ravens, who are banged up on both sides of the ball. Baltimore has allowed the most touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Adams is a top-18 fantasy receiver this week, and a touchdown could vault him into the top 12.

Pat Freiermuth's Role Uncertain Coming Out of Bye
Pat Freiermuth has been underwhelming in his fifth professional season and will look to turn things around against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. With wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) sidelined this week, quarterback Aaron Rodgers could target his tight ends more frequently, but it's difficult to predict who will benefit most at the position. Though Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith were expected to be featured in the offense early on, it was Darnell Washington who led the group in snaps in Week 4. Given Cleveland's strong defensive front, the big-bodied Washington could be in line for more opportunities on Sunday, further limiting Freiermuth's fantasy output. Fantasy managers should steer clear of Pittsburgh's tight ends this week, leaving Freiermuth on the waiver wire in most formats.

Bo Nix Profiles as a Fringe QB1 in London Game vs. the Jets
Bo Nix comes into Week 6 as the fantasy football QB12 overall after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles for their first loss of the season in Week 5. With eight passing touchdowns on the season and four interceptions, Nix has seemingly picked up where he left off last season instead of reverting to his slow start in his rookie year. The 25-year-old will look to keep things going in the London game against the New York Jets on Sunday. The Jets' defense has been weaker against the run than the pass this season and no longer looks to be the intimidating defense it once was. With this in mind, the Broncos may look to run the ball more than pass. Nix should still be dependable as a fringe-QB1 for fantasy managers.

Puka Nacua Looking to Strengthen Position Atop WR Leaderboard in Week 6
Puka Nacua has been excellent this season, and he should continue to produce at a high level against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. The 24-year-old has at least 22 fantasy points (PPR) in all five games this season, ranking as the overall WR1 so far. He's on pace for 1,999 receiving yards, putting the NFL's single-season record and 2,000-yard milestone well within reach. From a fantasy perspective, Week 6 offers Nacua a chance to further widen the gap between him and the next-highest-scoring receiver. The star pass catcher gets a favorable matchup against the Ravens, who are banged up on both sides of the ball. Baltimore has surrendered the most receiving touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Nacua should be started in every fantasy league.

Tyjae Spears Not Startable as Workload Increases Slowly
Tyjae Spears is not a reliable fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Spears returned from injured reserve last weekend, rushing for 14 yards on four carries in his season debut. The 24-year-old played one-quarter of the offensive snaps, and reporting out of Tennessee indicates that the Titans are gradually going to get Spears more involved. Tony Pollard has run well enough in the lead-back role to justify easing Spears into a split backfield, rather than feeding him double-digit touches in his first couple of weeks back. As a result, managers will need to continue expressing patience with the young running back. He's not a reliable fantasy starter this week, while Pollard is headed for a sizable role once again.

Blake Corum Not a Fantasy Threat Despite Favorable Matchup
Blake Corum should continue to be benched in most fantasy football leagues ahead of his Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. While Corum made a push for more playing time from Weeks 2 to 4, his snap share dropped to a measly nine percent last Thursday night, as he rushed the ball just one time and didn't catch a pass. The most important factor here is Kyren Williams' effectiveness out of the backfield, and he has played quite well, making an impact on the ground and through the air. Williams' 91 percent snap share, 131 scrimmage yards, and two touchdowns last week gave the Rams plenty of reasons to pound the rock with Williams and no desire to get Corum involved. Corum remains a mere handcuff option heading into Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens, despite Baltimore allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs.

Jonnu Smith Difficult to Trust Against Cleveland
Jonnu Smith turned in three straight games with fewer than five fantasy points before the team's Week 5 bye and will hope to be more involved in a Week 6 bout with the Cleveland Browns. Though the Browns have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, Smith could be an important piece of Pittsburgh's passing attack with wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) inactive. That said, head coach Mike Tomlin hinted earlier this week at continued usage of fellow tight end Darnell Washington, who out-snapped both Smith and Pat Freiermuth in Week 4. It wouldn't be shocking to see any of the three have a productive outing on Sunday, but fantasy managers can't currently depend on Smith in starting lineups.
