Wide Receivers
Main Adds:
- NYJ Robby Anderson (35% owned) vs IND
- GB Geronimo Allison (46% owned) vs SF
- GB Marquez Valdes-Scantling (9% owned) vs SF
- LAR Josh Reynolds (0% owned) @DEN
- Brandin Cooks & Robert Woods could both clear the concussion protocol in time for Week 6, making Reynolds irrelevant for fantasy again.
- HOU Keke Coutee (34% owned) vs BUF
- CLE Antonio Callaway (27% owned) vs LAC
- Fellow Browns WR, Rashad Higgins is expected to miss at least two games with an MCL sprain. Catch the ball Callaway!
- ATL Mohamed Sanu (32% owned) vs TB
- Potentially Jason’s favorite WR additon for Week 6. He’s had three solid games in a row and now has a juicy matchup against Tampa Bay.
- IND Chester Rogers (5% owned) @NYJ
- Could be a strong play if T.Y. Hilton were to miss more time.
- JAX Keelan Cole (55% owned) @DAL
- JAX Donte Moncrief (13% owned) @DAL
- JAX Dede Westbrook (51% owned) @DAL
- All three Jaguars have shown to be talented and have fantasy value. Good luck predicting which ones when though.
- ARI Christian Kirk (9% owned) @MIN
- While Josh Rosen may have saved this offense from being completely fantasy irrelevant, Larry Fitzgerald hasn’t been himself. Kirk came up with a big TD late
- TEN Taywan Taylor (12% owned) vs BAL
- TB Chris Godwin (38% owned) @ATL
- returning from BYE
- CHI Taylor Gabriel (18% owned) @MIA
- returning from BYE
- NO Cameron Meredith (11% owned) on BYE
- NO Tre’Quan Smith (2% owned) on BYE
Running Backs
Probably Owned but worth checking:
- BAL Javorius Allen (64% owned) @TEN
- Continues to split snaps with Alex Collins and is getting red zone work
- IND Nyheim Hines (59% owned) @NYJ
- Averaging over 5 catches a game
- SF Alfred Morris (42% owned) @GB
- Could be a nice workload coming with Matt Breida looking doubtful for Week 6.
Main Adds:
- PHI Corey Clement (23% owned) @NYG
- PHI Wendell Smallwood (4% owned) @NYG
- Jay Ajayi is out for the season. While the Eagles RBs will split time, their offensive line is still one of the best. Find out what Wendell Smallwood showed on film in Week 5.
- TB Ronald Jones (26% owned) @ATL
- DET LeGarrette Blount (12% owned) on BYE
- DET Theo Riddick (19% owned) on BYE
- SEA Mike Davis (19% owned) @OAK
- Found the end zone again in Week 5 with Chris Carson back, but Carson still played more snaps.
- HOU Alfred Blue (14% owned) vs BUF
- Had a nice PPR performance without Lamar Miller playing in Week 6.
- HOU D’Onta Foreman (20% owned)
- Eligible to return in Week 7.
- SF Kyle Juszczyk (0% owned) @GB
- Even though he’s a fullback, he could be a sneaky PPR beast. Had 7 targets in Week 5 and Matt Breida is doubtful for Week 6.
Tight Ends
Probably Owned but worth checking:
- NYG Evan Engram (71% owned) vs PHI
- CAR Greg Olsen (68% owned) @WAS
Main Adds:
