5 breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 6

1. Indianapolis Colts' WR Josh Downs

We've discussed Downs before in this space but the problem for the Colts' rookie has been that the passing offense varies heavily from starter Anthony Richardson to backup Gardner Minshew. While Downs has done well with both quarterbacks, his production has been much better with the pass-first Minshew under center than the hybrid game of Richardson.

An injury to Richardson's shoulder may serve to the benefit of Downs, who clicked well with Minshew again in Week 5 to the tune of six catches for 97 yards. It is unclear how long Richardson will be sidelined, but as long as Minshew is the starter it will be to the benefit of Downs, who is more of a possession receiver that can be trusted on third downs.

The other game that Richardson missed was in Week 3 and Minshew looked to Dobbs a season-high 12 times. Dobbs turned eight of those targets into receptions for 57 yards, making him a valuable PPR play in any game that Minshew is starting.

There is a great opportunity to add Dobbs, who is rostered in only nine percent of leagues, with Indianapolis set for a trip to Jacksonville in Week 6. The game may well turn into a revenge spot for Minshew, who will look to his new favorite target a lot and makes Dobbs the top pickup of the week.
