New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas has been highly underwhelming this season, and that should remain the case during Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. The 24-year-old has just seven catches for 30 yards and one touchdown, taking a backseat to Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, and Hunter Henry, among others. In addition to his poor stat totals so far, he lacks fantasy appeal because of his matchup. Douglas runs most of his routes in the slot -- 73.3%, to be exact -- and the Saints have allowed the fewest points to slot receivers in 2025. He should be left on waivers for the time being.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has been underwhelming in fantasy football lately, and he'll look to get right against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Boutte broke free for 100 yards in Week 1 but has been held to fewer than 9.0 fantasy points (PPR) in every game since then. Last week against the Bills, he caught three passes for a respectable 43 yards but played a season-low 62 percent snap share. It's hard to predict Boutte's stat line in any given week, but it has become a common trend to see him fail to reach his projections. That will likely remain the case on Sunday as he remains behind Stefon Diggs, but if there's one factor working in Boutte's favor, it's the matchup. Boutte is a deep threat who runs most of his routes out wide; New Orleans has allowed the fewest fantasy points to slot receivers but the 10th-most fantasy points to perimeter receivers. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on Boutte, stashing him on the bench in deeper leagues.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been excellent lately, and he'll look to remain effective heading into Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Diggs has at least 100 yards in each of his last two games, including a phenomenal 10-catch, 146-yard performance against his old team, the Bills, last Sunday. The veteran receiver started slow this season but has suddenly broken out in a huge way, cementing himself as Drake Maye's favorite target. In addition to his track record, Diggs is a strong fantasy option for this week because of his matchup. We should see him thrive if he runs most of his routes out wide, as New Orleans has allowed the fewest fantasy points to slot receivers but the 10th-most fantasy points to perimeter receivers. He's a low-end WR2 for the time being.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is looking to bounce back as a reliable fantasy option during Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Henry wasn't heavily involved last Sunday against the Bills, catching just two passes for 46 yards as he turned in his second-worst fantasy performance of the season. He should be more involved this week against the Saints, and he has a great opportunity to produce in a big way. After all, New Orleans has allowed the second-most touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Henry is Drake Maye's favorite target not named Stefon Diggs, and he should be a mid-to-low TE1 this week.--Andersen Pickard

The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6 where Parker Washington will look to continue his momentum from last week. Washington finished Week 5 with just two catches on 16 yards, but caught his first touchdown of the season. With tight end Brenton Strange on IR, Washington could be tasked with stepping up even more for Trevor Lawrence and the passing game. The Jaguars pulled off the upset victory last week despite still finding their groove in the passing game. It will be interesting to see if things improve even more this week, and if Washington is a part of it. The young receiver is a speculative flex play in deeper leagues in Week 6.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller

The New England Patriots D/ST can be started with confidence heading into Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. For starters, the Patriots' defense has been trending up lately, forcing four turnovers over the last two weeks while allowing just 13 points to the Panthers and 20 points to the Bills. Meanwhile, the Saints are no strangers to rewarding defenses, as they've allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to opposing D/ST units in 2025. We may see a limited supply of turnovers this weekend -- Spencer Rattler has turned the ball over just once in 2025 -- but the Patriots' defense should get plenty of pressure against New Orleans while holding them to a low point total. RotoBaller's experts have the Patriots ranked #11 among D/ST units in Week 6.--Andersen Pickard

The Dallas Cowboys D/ST has been one of the worst-performing units this season, but they have a great chance to bounce back against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. Dallas has forced just three turnovers this year and has needed its offense to bail out the defense time and time again. However, the Cowboys' defense had its best game of the season last week against the Jets, and they could parlay that strong performance into another quality outing against Carolina. After all, the Panthers have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing D/ST units in 2025, and Bryce Young turned the ball over twice against Miami last weekend. RotoBaller's experts believe Dallas is a solid streamer for Week 6, ranking them as the #14 D/ST unit.--Andersen Pickard

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey remains a top fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Aubrey is the overall K2 this season, and although that ranking is largely skewed by big performances in Weeks 1 and 2, he remains a threat to deliver a massive fantasy performance in any given week. In addition to being extremely accurate, Aubrey has one of the strongest legs in the league, making four kicks from at least 50 yards out so far. As a result, he should be started in all fantasy leagues despite the Panthers allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025.--Andersen Pickard

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Hunt was on the injury report with a calf injury, but practiced fully all week and was removed from the report ahead of this week's matchup. Hunt handled seven carries for 49 yards and two touchdowns in their Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The veteran running back also caught one pass for eight yards last week. Hunt averaged 7.0 yards per carry against the Jaguars, but a 33-yard run boosted his average. Hunt managed just 16 yards on his other six carries in the contest for a 2.7 yards per carry average. The 30-year-old has failed to average at 4.0 yards per carry in four of five games this season, but Kansas City has still given him the most valuable touches out of the backfield. Hunt is the primary goal-line and passing downs back for the Chiefs despite his inefficiency, and that trend should continue this week. Kansas City will take on the Lions in a game where the O/U is 52.5 and the Chiefs are favored by 2.5 points. There should be plenty of scoring in this week's contest, and Hunt could be the one scoring touchdowns in this Chiefs backfield. Hunt is ranked RB35 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him in the RB3 conversation this week.--Joshua Costello

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson remains a must-start fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Ferguson has been excellent so far this season, ranking as the overall TE1 with his 41 catches, 272 yards, and three touchdowns through five games. He has continued to demonstrate a strong rapport with Dak Prescott, cementing himself as one of the top targets in an offense that racks up high yardage totals every week. The 26-year-old could be headed for another big outing on Sunday against the Panthers, who have allowed the most receiving yards and second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Ferguson should be started with confidence in all leagues.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson remains relegated to the No. 2 role on the depth chart, but he could still carve out some fantasy relevance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Rhamondre Stevenson lost his third fumble of the season last Sunday, which is one reason why Henderson could be given more opportunities with the football this week. The rookie will also get more snaps and touches after Antonio Gibson (knee) was placed on season-ending injured reserve. While we expect Stevenson to handle the majority of the snaps again this week, Henderson should still carve out a role for himself, especially against a New Orleans defense allowing the 11th-most rushing yards, seventh-most receiving yards, and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Henderson is a low-end RB3/flex this week.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is headed for a sizable workload again during Sunday's Week 6 contest against the New Orleans Saints. Despite losing three fumbles through five games, he has held onto his lead-back role. Both Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson should see a slight uptick in touches with Antonio Gibson (knee) done for the year, but it seems like the former will remain the No. 1 running back in New England for the time being. He salvaged his fantasy performance last week with two touchdowns and could be headed for another strong outing against the Saints. New Orleans has allowed the 11th-most rushing yards, seventh-most receiving yards, and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Stevenson ranks as a mid-range RB3/flex this week.--Andersen Pickard

The Pittsburgh Steelers, fresh off their Week 5 bye, are getting healthier on defense ahead of a divisional clash with the Cleveland Browns. Although defensive back Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) is questionable to suit up, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (hamstring) and linebacker Alex Highsmith (ankle) are set to return after missing multiple games. Pittsburgh's defense wreaked havoc in Weeks 3 and 4, forcing seven turnovers and recording 11 sacks, and now returns home to face rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel in his second NFL start. While Ramsey's availability could slightly impact the unit's ceiling, there are few safer fantasy options than the Steelers DST this week in what projects to be a low-scoring affair.--Jorden Hill

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye remains a must-start fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. The 23-year-old ranks as the overall QB7 this season, racking up nine total touchdowns and just two interceptions. He has three touchdowns in two different games this season and also helped take down the NFL's only remaining undefeated team, the Buffalo Bills, last Sunday night. Maye has made huge strides in the start of his first full NFL season, showing signs of a very bright future. In the short term, he has a very favorable outlook this week against the Saints. Maye's track record pairs well with New Orleans' defense allowing the third-most passing touchdowns and eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025.--Andersen Pickard

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (shoulder) was limited at practice all week, but doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Brown is still far down the pecking order, even likely behind Parker Washington, heading into Week 6. Besides Week 2 (five catches, 57 yards, and a touchdown), the 25-year-old hasn't done much, and there's a good chance that continues against the Seahawks. He might get extra opportunities with tight end Brenton Strange on IR, but he still has lots of target competition to deal with. Brown hasn't shown managers he deserves to be in starting lineups, but he at least is worth holding in deeper leagues to see how things change with more opportunities potentially on the table for Jaguars pass catchers.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller
