In this weekly post, we’ll discuss wide receivers that could be a huge boost to your fantasy team or could be that sneaky play in daily to put you over the top. Let’s get into the Week 6 plays!
Wide receiver tends to be a very deep position in fantasy football. The NFL continues to trend towards a pass-first game and WR is typically easy to fill. However, bye weeks have started and that can make things for difficult. Teams are missing top-notch options like Dez Bryant, A.J. Green, and Doug Baldwin. We’ll go over 10 targets that could help you fill the void this week.
10. Jermaine Kearse, New York Jets

Kearse isn’t coming off one of his best games, having only caught 4 passes for 38 yards in Week 5. His day was saved by catching a touchdown. Many people will look at his stat line against the woeful Browns and pass right over him.
Week 6 represents a nice bounce-back spot for Kearse. The Jets are at home to face the New England Patriots, one of the worst defenses in the league through five weeks. In addition, the Jets are most likely going to be trailing early in this game. The New England offense shouldn’t have any issues putting points on the board. New York will be passing frequently to try and keep up. You may have to wait until garbage time for points, but Kearse should be able to deliver.
