Fantasy football Week 6 rankings: Who to start and sit

Start: Larry Fitzgerald

Outside of his Week 3 explosion against the Dallas Cowboys (13 catches, 149 yards and a score), Future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald has been a little quiet this season. He’s had three of five games under 52 yards receiving, and only has two scores so far. He’s looking good on the season as the fantasy PPR WR7, but a lot of that production came in the one big game (over 40 percent).

Obviously, a large part of the whole team is lack of success has been the injury bug as they suffered a huge loss with running back David Johnson heading to injured reserve after Week 1, and that hit all of their fantasy options hard. But Larry Fitzgerald is not just another fantasy football option, he is one of the all-time greats and will continue to be a strong fantasy contributor for the rest of his career. This week, he has a fantastic matchup.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have given up the fifth-most points to fantasy quarterbacks, and the most points in the league to wide receivers. They are only ahead of the New England Patriots in pass defense. Don’t be put off by Fitzgerald’s scoreless performance against the Eagles – he’s a must-start this weekend.
