Fantasy football 2018, Week 6 rankings: Who to start and sit
By Jon Dove
Start: Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans
vs. Buffalo Bills
Deshaun Watson is nowhere near the fantasy pace he set last year. However, he’s dealing with offensive line issues and some predictable regression. This weekend’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills gives him a chance to jump start his production.
Buffalo’s defense has been solid this season, but are forced to spend too much time on the field. The Bills offense has struggled to sustain drives, protect the football and put points on the board.
This has resulted in a worn down Bills defense that is barely keeping their head above water. The Houston Texans have enough pass catching weapons to put up some big numbers. Watson has done a nice job this year finding big-play threats like DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller V.
Another key to Watson’s fantasy production is his legs. He doesn’t hesitate to pull the ball down and take what the defense gives him. Watson is always a candidate to provide some extra points on the ground.
Sit: Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings
@ Arizona Cardinals
Cousins has had a solid start to his Vikings career. However, this weekend he faces a deceptively tough matchup. The Arizona Cardinals boost some talent in the secondary with Patrick Peterson and Budda Baker.
However, Chandler Jones might be the biggest game changer in this matchup. The Vikings offensive line has really struggled this year and don’t have anyone capable of routinely keeping Jones out of the backfield.
