Week 6 is here and it’s that time of the week to try and sort through all the Fantasy Football Rankings!

Is it just me or does this week not seem to have the best slate of games on it? Sure, the Thursday night game looks alright on paper and it carries plenty of star power. If you want to see who I would play from that game, you can check it out right here. There are some really good matchups like New England and Kansas City Sunday night and that’s likely the marquee game of the week. Missing Detroit and New Orleans doesn’t help from a fantasy perspective but let’s get into who we should be playing this week in our Fantasy Football Rankings.

Fantasy Football Rankings Quarterback, Week 6

1. Patrick Mahomes, at New England Patriots 

2. Tom Brady, vs Kansas City Chiefs – These two quarterbacks are in the game with the highest over/under of the week and no defense is going to be found here.

3. Matt Ryan, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

4. Deshaun Watson, vs Buffalo Bills – Watson would drop a couple spots if Tre’Davious White plays but he’d still be a top 10 option regardless

5. Aaron Rodgers, vs San Francisco 49ers 

6. Jameis Winston, at Atlanta Falcons – He’s on the road and will likely throw a couple interceptions but it won’t matter at the end of the day

7. Cam Newton, at Washington Redskins 

8. Kirk Cousins, vs Arizona Cardinals 

9. Ben Roethlisberger, at Cincinnati Bengals 

10. Jared Goff, at Denver Broncos – He’s in Denver in the cold but it appears his receivers will be fully healthy

11. Andy Dalton, vs Pittsburgh Steelers – Pittsburgh’s defense has been playing better and I don’t trust Dalton like I should

12. Andrew Luck, at New York Jets – Not having Jack Doyle and T.Y. Hilton doesn’t help but Luck came through last week without them

13. Baker Mayfield, vs Los Angeles Chargers 

14. Philip Rivers, at Cleveland Browns – The second half of quarterback this week is a little weaker than normal

15. Russell Wilson, vs Oakland Raiders

16. Blake Bortles, at Dallas Cowboys 

17. Joe Flacco, at Tennessee Titans – The Ravens likely won’t be able to run the ball effectively so Flacco should have the volume

18. Alex Smith, vs Carolina Panthers 

19. Mitchell Trubisky, at Miami Dolphins 

20. C.J. Beathard, at Green Bay Packers – Blake Bortles West should have plenty of garbage time in this one

21. Marcus Mariota, vs Baltimore Ravens – He’s been wildly disappointing this year for the most part

22. Derek Carr, vs Seattle Seahawks 

23. Sam Darnold, vs Indianapolis Colts 

24. Case Keenum, vs Los Angeles Rams 

25. Ryan Tannehill, vs Chicago Bears – Good luck against a rested Chicago defense

26. Dak Prescott, vs Jacksonville Jaguars 

27. Josh Rosen, at Minnesota Vikings 

28. Josh Allen, at Houston Texans 

Fantasy Football Rankings Running Back, Week 6

1. Todd Gurley, at Denver Broncos – Cold, snowy and up against a defense that has been gouged by the run game

2. Kareem Hunt, at New England Patriots 

3. Melvin Gordon, at Cleveland Browns 

4. Christian McCaffrey, at Washington Redskins 

5. Joe Mixon, vs Pittsburgh Steelers – I think Mixon might have a big day receiving in this game

6. Jordan Howard, at Miami Dolphins – I hope Howards gets back to seeing 20+ touches and the last game was just because the Bears were blowing out the Bucs

7. T.J. Yeldon, at Dallas Cowboys 

8. James White, vs Kansas City Chiefs – The Chiefs have given up the most yards receiving to running backs in the league

9. James Conner, at Cincinnati Bengals 

10. Ezekiel Elliott, vs Jacksonville Jaguars – You can’t get away from Zeke by any stretch but this could be his lowest scoring game of the year

11. Chris Carson, at Oakland Raiders 

12. Tevin Coleman, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers – This is assuming that Devonta Freeman is out

13. David Johnson, at Minnesota Vikings – The volume is there but you can’t feel good about much else in this one

14. Bilal Powell, vs Indianapolis Colts – Isaiah Crowell has missed two straight days of practice and could miss this week

15. Sony Michel, vs Kansas City Chiefs – The red zone touches should still be there but the Pats could go very pass heavy here

16. Carlos Hyde, vs Los Angeles Chargers 

17. Marshawn Lynch, vs Seattle Seahawks 

18. Latavius Murray, vs Arizona Cardinals – Dalvin Cook‘s status is murky at best. If Cook plays, I’d put him right about here

19. Phillip Lindsay, vs Los Angeles Rams 

20. Chris Thompson, vs Carolina Panthers 

21. LeSean McCoy, at Houston Texans – Shady could be an Eagle by this time next week

22. Aaron Jones, vs San Francisco 49ers – Give. Him. The. Ball.

23. Nyheim Hines, at New York Jets 

24. Alfred Morris, at Green Bay Packers – Matt Breida is already listed as doubtful

25. Kenyan Drake, vs Chicago Bears – See Aaron Jones

26. Austin Ekeler, at Cleveland Browns 

27. Tarik Cohen, at Miami Dolphins – The Howard/Cohen dynamic is one of the more interesting storylines of the week

28. Lamar Miller, vs Buffalo Bills 

29. Mike Davis, vs Seattle Seahawks 

30. Dion Lewis, vs Baltimore Ravens 

31. Alex Collins, at Tennessee Titans – Collins and Buck Allen are splitting and draw a really tough matchup

32. Kyle Juszczyk, at Green Bay Packers – You could do worse in PPR formats

33. Ronald Jones, at Atlanta Falcons – Could the breakout game be here?

34. Derrick Henry, vs Baltimore Ravens 

35. Royce Freeman, vs Los Angeles Rams 

Fantasy Football Rankings Wide Receiver, Week 6

1. Antonio Brown, at Cincinnati Bengals 

2. Julio Jones, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers – If this isn’t a boom game for Julio, I give up trying to predict his season

3. Tyreek Hill, at New England Patriots 

4. Mike Evans, at Atlanta Falcons 

5. A.J. Green, vs Pittsburgh Steelers 

6. Davante Adams, vs San Francisco 49ers – He’s been a rock so far this year

7. DeAndre Hopkins, vs Buffalo Bills – Keep an eye on Tre’Davious White

8. Adam Thielen, vs Arizona Cardinals 

9. Jarvis Landry, vs Los Angles Chargers 

10. Keenan Allen, at Cleveland Browns 

11. Stefon Diggs, vs Arizona Cardinals – He might see the most Patrick Peterson but the Vikings move everyone around enough that it’s not a major concern

12. JuJu Smith-Schuster, at Cincinnati Bengals 

13. Julian Edelman, vs Kansas City Chiefs 

14. Emmanuel Sanders, vs Los Angeles Rams – Weather is a slight concern but the game script should favor Sanders to rack up some points

15. Brandin Cooks, at Denver Broncos – He still has to be cleared but it looks positive

16. John Brown, at Tennessee Titans 

17. Tyler Boyd, vs Pittsburgh Steelers 

18. Sammy Watkins, at New England Patriots 

19. Cooper Kupp, at Denver Broncos – Same story as Cooks. He needs cleared bu appears to be on track.

20. Mohamed Sanu, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers – He’s getting more snaps and targets than Calvin Ridley

21. Robert Woods, at Denver Broncos – The passing game could take a bump down if the weather is really bad but that remains to be seen

22. DeSean Jackson, at Atlanta Falcons 

23. Will Fuller, vs Buffalo Bills 

24. Quincy Enunwa, vs Indianapolis Colts 

25. Allen Robinson, at Miami Dolphins – Xavien Howard is a serious concern for me in this spot

26. Calvin Ridley, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

27. Doug Baldwin, at Oakland Raiders 

28. Chris Godwin, at Atlanta Falcons 

29. Keke Coutee, vs Buffalo Bills – Could we be seeing another situation like Detroit or the Rams where the Houston offense supports three fantasy receivers?

30. Josh Gordon, vs Kansas City Chiefs 

31. Demaryius Thomas, vs Los Angeles Rams 

32. Amari Cooper, vs Seattle Seahawks 

33. Corey Davis, vs Baltimore Ravens 

34. Chester Rodgers, at New York Jets 

35. Devin Funchess, at Washington Redskins 

Fantasy Football Rankings Tight End, Week 6

1. Travis Kelce, at New England Patriots – I don’t know who Bill Belichick is going to try and take away from the Chiefs, but I don’t think it’s going to matter

2. Rob Gronkowski, vs Kansas City Chiefs – He’s been fairly quiet lately but that can’t last much longer

3. George Kittle, at Green Bay Packers – This is where we’re at with tight ends, although Kittle and Beathard have shown plenty of chemistry

4. Jimmy Graham, vs San Francisco 49ers – Before the dud that Ricky Seals-Jones laid, the 49ers were giving up plenty of touchdowns to tight ends

5. Eric Ebron, at New York Jets – I’m leaving Ebron here for now but keep the name Eric Swoope in mind for a streamer if Ebron can’t go

More from FanSided

6. Austin Hooper, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Atlanta should have a total field day

7. Jared Cook, vs Seattle Seahawks – It’s hard to argue with the amount of targets that Cook continues to get

8. Trey Burton, at Miami Dolphins – If Allen Robinson does get neutralized, maybe Burton sees a few extra looks

9. Cameron Brate, at Atlanta Falcons – He should continue to be a top 10 option for as long as O.J. Howard is out and he draws a fantastic matchup this week

10. Jordan Reed, vs Carolina Panthers – Hopefully he has a bounce back game this week after virtually nothing last week

11. David Njoku, vs Los Angeles Chargers – Trade for this man right now because his schedule the rest of the way is totally glorious

12. Kyle Rudolph, vs Arizona Cardinals – The floor is fine and hopefully he finds the end zone but the same can be said every week

13. Greg Olsen, at Washington Redskins – If the foot is healthy, Olsen is top five every week but we don’t know what to expect with the foot

14. C.J. Uzomah, vs Pittsburgh Steelers – Uzomah hasn’t been a cog in the Bengals offense but the Steelers can’t stop the position and something has to give here

15. Nile Paul, at Dallas Cowboys – He’s the number one in Jacksonville so we have to pay attention to him, although I don’t think he has another seven receptions in him this week
