Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6: DeVonta Smith, Raheem Mostert, Puka Nacua

Puka Nacua - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Should I start DeVonta Smith, Raheem Mostert, Puka Nacua for Week 6 Fantasy football start em, sit em picks and recommendations for the 2023 NFL season.

Week 6 NFL fixtures are ahead of us as the teams shape up to make a push for the playoffs. With numerous injuries to star players and teams having bye weeks, fantasy football managers are now having a difficult time selecting their teams.

Players like DeVonta Smith, Raheem Mostert, and Puka Nacua are playing quite well and are healthy to play on Sunday. Should you start these players on your fantasy football teams this week?

Let's take a look at their fantasy outlook for their upcoming games based on their opponents and rankings given by the RotoBaller staff.

Should I Start DeVonta Smith for Fantasy Football?

DeVonta Smith and the Philadelphia Eagles will go against the New York Jets in Week 6. So far this season, in five games, he has recorded 23 catches for 290 yards and scored two touchdowns on 34 targets, while averaging 58 yards per game and 12.6 yards per reception.

Although the Jets have a pretty good defense, their elite cornerbacks could miss the game against the Eagles. D.J. Reed is still out with a concussion, while Sauce Gardner is questionable to play the game.

This will allow both A.J. Brown and Smith to dominate the Jets and help Jalen Hurts lead the Eagles to a 6-0 start. As a result, you should definitely start the Alabama product in Week 6. The RotoBaller staff currently has him ranked #19 among wide receivers for this season.

 

Should I Start Raheem Mostert for Fantasy Football?

Raheem Mostert and the Miami Dolphins will face the struggling Carolina Panthers in Week 6. With De'Von Achane placed on the IR, it will further increase Mostert's usage, and he could have another big game.

So far this season, the Dolphins running back has recorded 314 yards on 58 carries while scoring eight touchdowns. He is averaging 62.8 yards per game and an impressive 5.4 yards per carry.

You should certainly start Mostert in Week 6 because the Panthers struggle to contain the run, providing a great opportunity for the running back to score multiple touchdowns. The RotoBaller staff has him ranked #2 among running backs ahead of Week 6.

 

Should I Start Puka Nacua for Fantasy Football?

Puka Nacua has been the story of the season so far. He and the Los Angeles Rams will take on the Arizona Cardinals this upcoming week, and the rookie wide receiver can have another impressive performance.

Many people were skeptical about Nacua's usage following the return of Cooper Kupp. However, last week it was proven that Sean McVay will use both players and put them in a position to succeed.

In five games this season, Nacua has recorded 46 receptions for 572 yards and scored two touchdowns. The Rams star is off to a historic start to his career and deserves to start for your team this week. The RotoBaller staff currently has him ranked #11 among wide receivers.
