Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 6:
Quentin Johnston, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins due to a hamstring injury, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim. Johnston has been one of the breakout stars of the 2025 season so far, recording 26 catches for 377 yards and four touchdowns through his first five games.
If he were to be sidelined for Week 6, Chargers wideouts Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey could both see an uptick in target volume. Rookie wide receivers Keandre Lambert-Smith and Tre' Harris could also factor into the mix at the position for Los Angeles. If Johnston can play, he profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in a favorable matchup against the Dolphins.
Michael Carter, RB, Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter appears poised to shoulder a significant portion of the team's backfield workload for the foreseeable future. The Cardinals are without veteran James Conner (ankle) for the remainder of the season, and second-year back Trey Benson (knee) is on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury.
In the team's first full game without both players in Week 5, Carter logged 73 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 23 total touches. In contrast, fellow Arizona running backs Emari Demercado and Bam Knight combined for just eight touches. The Cardinals could be without starting quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts, potentially leading to a run-heavy game plan for the team.
Carter profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 6.
Jaylen Warren, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) has now logged a full week of practice without limitation and carries no injury status into the team's Week 6 matchup with the Browns. Warren was a surprise inactive for the Steelers' Week 4 win over the Vikings in Dublin, but has since had a bye week and this full week of practice to get back on track.
While Kenneth Gainwell had a week-winning performance in his stead, expect Warren to reclaim most of the team's early down and passing work, putting him right back into play as a safe-floor RB2/flex option, especially in PPR formats.
DK Metcalf, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf delivered his best showing of the season in Week 4 with five receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings. Although nearly all of his production came in the first half, it was encouraging to see the seventh-year pro featured early and often after a slow start to the campaign.
Coming out of a Week 5 bye, Metcalf will get his first taste of an AFC North rivalry with the Cleveland Browns on tap for Week 6. While Cleveland has been strong defensively this season, it has still allowed five wideouts to finish as top-24 fantasy options in as many games. Fantasy managers may have safer choices this week, but Metcalf remains firmly in the WR2 mix in Week 6.
Stefon Diggs, WR, New England Patriots
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs made an enormous impression with his 10 catches and 146 yards on Sunday Night Football. The veteran receiver was able to get revenge on his old team, the Buffalo Bills, while turning in the best game yet with his new team.
The 31-year-old has been everything the Patriots could have asked for (and more), making a variety of toe-drag plays and catches while being covered by a defender. He has 16 catches and 247 yards over his last two games, putting him firmly in the mid-range WR2 mix for Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints.
