Week 6 Wide Receiver Outlooks For Fantasy Football

Calvin Ridley, Tennessee Titans - Fantasy Football Outlook

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley takes on a leaky Colts secondary in a Week 6 divisional game this Sunday. The former Falcon has carried over his boom-bust ways from last season into 2024, and it's been much more of the latter through four games played.

Ridley has finished as a top-50 WR only once, when he scored 24.7 points against the league's best secondary in Week 2. The quarterback play in Tennessee has been a major area of concern this season, and Ridley is suffering as a result.

However, the upcoming matchup against Indianapolis presents a very solid "get right" game for the speedster, with Indy surrendering the seventh most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. He remains a risky play, but Ridley does have some upside this week, coming off a bye against a vulnerable group of DBs.

- Ryan Goodman, RotoBaller

Darnell Mooney, Atlanta Falcons - Fantasy Football Outlook

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (knee) was a full participant in Atlanta's final practice of the week and is a full-go for the team's Week 6 matchup on Sunday. Mooney started off the week with two limited sessions, but his status for the road tilt against the Carolina Panthers was never in doubt.

The 26-year-old and the Falcons' offense have one of the more enticing fantasy matchups this week. Carolina has allowed the most passing touchdowns and second-most yards per pass attempt to opposing offenses. It's another opportunity for the former fifth-round pick to continue his streak of production, which has him sitting as the WR15 in PPR formats through the season's first five weeks.

Mooney has had a strong beginning to his first season in Atlanta and should continue to be a solid third option at worst in the Falcons' passing attack. He'll be a WR3 with upside against the Panthers.

Dontayvion Wicks, Green Bay Packers - Fantasy Football Outlook

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks looks to bounce back from a lackluster performance on the stat sheet in this week's matchup, where the Packers host the Arizona Cardinals. Wicks only put up two receptions for 20 yards, but tied for the team-lead in targets share with 23% and led the Packers with 44% of the air yards.

While those metrics didn't turn into fantasy points, yards, or receptions, the Packers' offensive intent was very well known as they peppered Wicks with targets and downfield looks. Changing the outlook for Wicks is Romeo Doubs' return to the lineup following a one-game suspension and the possibility of Christian Watson (ankle) playing in Week 6, as he's listed as questionable on the injury report.

A Watson return would likely affect Wicks' snaps and route directly and would be a low-end flex for fantasy. If Watson is inactive, Wicks is a low-end WR3 and a high-end flex option for Week 6.
