Jacksonville Jaguars tight end
Hunter Long is in line for a significant increase in snaps over the coming weeks, with fellow tight end
Brenton Strange (quadriceps) placed on injured reserve. Long stepped in for Strange when he got injured in Jacksonville's Week 6 win over the Chiefs, playing 60% of the snaps and catching one pass for three yards after his departure. He recorded a season-high three receptions for 23 yards in Week 4 against the 49ers and has some appeal for fantasy managers who are desperate at tight end. He'll face a Seattle defense in Week 6 that has allowed the most receptions to tight ends on the season.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Cooper Rush is taking over for the injured
Lamar Jackson (hamstring) again, and it doesn't seem to be any better of a situation. Even though the Houston Texans have been the toughest fantasy matchup for opposing QBs this season, he now takes on the 12th-ranked unit against the position in the Los Angeles Rams. They allow an average of 16.02 fantasy points per game through five weeks and have only given up seven passing touchdowns total. Rush had an abysmal game last time out by throwing three interceptions with only 179 yards. Fantasy managers should look for different options if a streamer is needed due to bye weeks.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Tory Horton should remain on your bench in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Horton continues to produce at a high level, and he will be difficult for the Seahawks to keep off the field. Horton has a nose for the end zone. He has scored four touchdowns in his first five games in the league. Unfortunately, his volume has been low. Horton has yet to exceed 39 receiving yards or four targets in a game. Despite the low volume, Horton's efficiency has been absurd. Three of his eight receptions this season have gone for touchdowns, and he has returned a punt for a touchdown. While the Jaguars boast a solid defense, they are relatively banged up in the secondary. Their recent addition of Greg Newsome II will help, but Jacksonville needs to worry about wide receivers
Jaxon Smith-Njigba and
Cooper Kupp first. Horton has a great chance to get lost in the shuffle and find the end zone once again in a game that projects to be relatively competitive. He is still not worthy of a start, but Horton could be a great second-half player in 2025.

Seattle Seahawks running back
Kenneth Walker III checks in as a low-end RB2 once again in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Walker continues to split time with running back
Zach Charbonnet in Seattle's backfield. The Jaguars are 18th against opposing running backs in fantasy. As such, there should be running lanes available for Walker. Walker has been very efficient over the last couple of weeks, having amassed 167 rushing yards on 29 carries. Unfortunately, his passing game volume remains low, which lowers his floor. However, the Seahawks love to run the ball in neutral and positive game scripts. They should be able to take care of business against Jacksonville, which bodes well for Walker in fantasy. Walker's ceiling will be tapped as long as he is splitting time with Charbonnet, but if he remains efficient, he will provide solid fantasy value. Additionally, Walker is as good a bet as anyone to score a long touchdown.

Seattle Seahawks running back
Zach Charbonnet is a touchdown-dependent flex option in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Charbonnet has taken firm control over Seattle's goal line running back role, but his general efficiency has been atrocious. Charbonnet is averaging 2.75 yards per carry this season. He has yet to exceed 4.0 yards per carry in a game this year. However, Seattle's offense has been very effective in 2025, which has provided Charbonnet with plenty of chances to score this season. He is still splitting time with fellow running back
Kenneth Walker III, which taps both of their ceilings. The Jaguars are the No. 18 team against opposing running backs in fantasy. There should be enough work to go around for both running backs to be fantasy relevant this week. Still, Charbonnet is a risky play if he does not find the end zone, given his relative lack of involvement in the passing game.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback
Sam Darnold is in a great position to succeed in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the Jaguars have played solid defense to open the season, they have allowed opposing quarterbacks to enjoy solid fantasy days, especially over the last two weeks. Darnold has found his groove in Seattle. He is coming off a 341-yard and four-touchdown performance in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks' defense should have an easier time containing the Jaguars' offense this week, which would reduce the need for high passing volume. However, Darnold's efficiency should not falter in this game. With so many injuries and uncertainties with fantasy quarterbacks this season, Darnold is a great bet to remain steady for your team. Start him as a low-end QB1 in Week 6.

Seattle Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers is poised to continue his solid 2025 fantasy campaign in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Myers delivered his worst fantasy finish of the season in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thanks to a missed field goal. The Seahawks proceeded to score only touchdowns from that point, which lowered Myers' ceiling. Still, the Seahawks' offense is playing fantastic football right now. They are constantly in scoring positions, and they are not turning the ball over very often. That combination allows Myers to rack up fantasy points. The Jaguars boast a solid defense, but it is nothing the Seahawks cannot handle. As such, Myers should deliver once again for fantasy. Start him with confidence.

The Seattle Seahawks defense/special teams is a risky option in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Seahawks' secondary continues to remain decimated by injuries. Most importantly, cornerbacks Devon Witherspoon (knee) and Riq Woolen (concussion) are unlikely to play in this game. The good news is that the Jaguars' passing offense has not exactly been potent this season. Seattle's backup cornerbacks may be able to contain the slow passing attack. However, Seattle has not been great against opposing running backs in fantasy, which means they could have trouble containing Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr., who is having a career year so far. The Seahawks' D/ST was a fantastic option to open the season, but their injuries have made everything difficult. They may still deliver a solid fantasy outing this week, but they are also a threat to deliver near-zero points in Week 6. It would be best to look elsewhere.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Tyquan Thornton is coming off his highest yardage total of the season in Week 5 against Jacksonville, catching three of five targets for 90 yards. But Thornton's route participation has declined over the past couple of weeks. After being north of 70% the first three weeks, he slid down to 35% in Week 4 and 43.5% in Week 5. That number will likely only decrease in future weeks, with star wide receiver
Rashee Rice set to return from suspension in Week 7. Thornton could take advantage of a positive matchup on Sunday night as the Lions have allowed the third most PPR points per game to wide receivers this season.

Seattle Seahawks tight end
AJ Barner is coming off the best game of his career in Week 5 against Tampa Bay, securing seven of seven targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns. All three marked a career high for Barner in a single game. The 23-year-old has played at least 80% of the snaps in every game except Seattle's Week 3 blowout win against the Saints, when a handful of starters were pulled early from the game. Barner has established himself as a strong threat in the red zone, leading the team with four red zone targets and four touchdowns. Barner will likely need to find the end zone for a productive fantasy day, which puts him in TE2 territory for Week 6 against the Jaguars.

Carolina Panthers running back
Rico Dowdle is in line to make his second straight start with
Chuba Hubbard (calf) ruled out again for Week 6 against Dallas. Dowdle erupted for 234 total yards and a touchdown on 26 touches in Week 5 against Miami in his first spot start of the year. Dowdle may have earned more snaps moving forward when Hubbard returns from injury, given how well he's played. Dowdle and the Panthers should be successful moving the ball on the ground again on Sunday versus a Dallas defense that has allowed 4.5 yards per carry and the seventh most PPR points per game to opposing running backs this season. Dowdle should be fired up as a borderline RB1 for Week 6.

Indianapolis Colts kicker
Michael Badgley will make his debut with his new team in a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Badgley was signed earlier in the week after former kicker
Spencer Shrader (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in a Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. While this will be Badgley's first game this season, the Colts' offense has provided plenty of scoring opportunities for the kicker through the first five games of the season. This sets Badgley up as a top-12 fantasy option right out of the gate. Fantasy gamers can feel free to insert him into their starting lineups on Sunday as a solid option.

Indianapolis Colts tight end
Tyler Warren's rookie season is off to a spectacular start so far. The first-year tight end has now caught 23 passes for 307 yards and one touchdown while adding another touchdown on the ground through five games. Warren will now look to keep it going in Week 6's home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been average at best this season against tight ends, allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Warren has emerged as one of
Daniel Jones' most trusted options in the passing attack this season and can be locked in as a top-six fantasy tight end this weekend.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Josh Downs is off to a slow start in 2025. The veteran slot receiver has now caught just 20 passes for 175 scoreless yards in five contests. Downs thrived on seeing high volume over the past two seasons, but new Indy quarterback
Daniel Jones seems to prefer throwing to
Michael Pittman Jr. and
Tyler Warren in the passing attack. Downs will hope to get it going in Week 6's home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are allowing the 20th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, setting up a moderately tough matchup for Downs and company. Downs is on the radar as a WR4/flex option in PPR leagues this season.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Michael Pittman Jr. is off to a hot start in 2025. The veteran wide receiver has now caught 26 passes for 273 yards and four touchdowns thus far. Pittman will look to keep it going in Week 6's home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been solid against the pass this season, allowing the 20th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts in five contests. That being said, Pittman has emerged as Indy's top wide receiver this season as
Daniel Jones seems to prefer him over
Josh Downs when dropping back to pass. Fantasy gamers can trust Pittman as a solid WR2 heading into Week 6's slate.
