Week 6 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back

If you’ll indulge me, I’d like to begin this week by returning to a favorite topic of mine: Arthur Smith.

Desmond Ridder (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Desmond Ridder’s production was underwhelming through the first four weeks of the season.
