Depending on how your fantasy league playoffs work, the regular season is probably almost half over already. If you are outside the playoffs looking to make a move in or trying to cling to a precious playoff spot, the next few weeks are critical to get you in the right spot for a big finishing kick. As you look to get the win this week, make sure to keep an eye on the best week 6 matchups to attack on the following slides. These matchups should result in plenty of fantasy points for the players listed which could lead to them being stars this weekend.

On the NFL slate, there are some interesting Week 6 matchups to watch this week with some important division games like Oakland-Kansas City, Carolina-New Orleans, and Philadelphia-Washington. The Primetime game Sunday Night is another good divisional showdown as the Colts and Texans face off. In some of the better non-divisional contests, Atlanta flies west to take on Seattle, the Bengals visit Foxboro, and Colin Kaepernick will make his season debut as the 49ers take on the Bills.
