Left WR vs Right CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Marvin HarrisonARI12.5 / 10.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mekhi BlackmonINDSafe
Marvin Harrison led Cardinals pass catchers in Week 5 with 98 yards on only 4 receptions and 5 targets. He did most of his damage in the first half of the game, and almost found the end zone, but came up just short of his 3rd TD of the season. Cardinals OC Drew Petzing said he felt like he didn’t do enough to get MJ the ball down the stretch, so we’ll see if he gets more looks in a plus matchup this week. If Petzing’s quote isn’t just coach speak, Marvin Harrison could be in for a big day this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Casey WashingtonATL4.6 / 3.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian BenfordBUFSafe
Casey Washington missed weeks 2 and 3 with a concussion and has only 4 receptions for 52 yards on 9 targets in the two games he’s played this year. Until we see Washington more involved in the offense, he can be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Rashod BatemanBAL5.4 / 4.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cobie DurantLARRisky
In the first game without QB Lamar Jackson at QB, Rashod Bateman finished Week 5 with 0 receptions on 3 targets against Houston. Bateman was already difficult to rely on with Jackson healthy, so he really needs to be avoided as long as Cooper Rush is starting at QB.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Keon ColemanBUF11.5 / 9.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
A.J. TerrellATLRisky
Keon Coleman didn’t play the first series of the Bills Week 5 game against the New England Patriots due to a disciplinary matter, but still finished 2nd among Bills pass catchers with 7 targets. Unfortunately, those 7 targets to 4 receptions for only 23 yards but he saved his day with a receiving touchdown. Coleman’s snap percentage should be back in the normal 75%+ range in Week 6, but he’s got a tough matchup ahead against Falcons CB A.J. Terrell. I’ve got Coleman just outside of my top 40 WRs for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tetairoa McMillanCAR12.4 / 10
CornerbackOppMatchup
Trevon DiggsDALSafe
The Panthers passing attack continues to be Tetairoa McMillan and then everyone else. McMillan finished Week 5 with a team high 6 receptions for 73 yards on 8 targets. McMillan has yet to have his breakout game but has had 8+ targets in each game this season and leads the Panthers with a 22.8% target share. The Cowboys secondary could be exactly what McMillan needs to break through and have a big day, and I’m expecting a strong week if the targets continue to be there. I’ve got McMillan as a borderline top 12 WR for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
DJ MooreCHI10 / 7.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Marshon LattimoreWASModerate
Coming out of the Week 5 bye, DJ Moore appears to be the clear #2 option in the Bears passing offense with a 15.8% target share and 173 receiving yards on the season, both 2nd among Bears pass catchers. The Washington Commanders secondary presents a difficult challenge, so I’ve got Moore as a WR3 or flex option in Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Ja'Marr ChaseCIN18.7 / 15.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nate HobbsGBModerate
After a couple of down weeks without Joe Burrow at QB, Ja'Marr Chase delivered for fantasy managers in Week 5 with 6 receptions for 110 yards and 2 TDs on a team-high 10 targets. It might have taken some garbage time to get there, but those fantasy points count just the same. This is why you have to continue to rank Ja'Marr Chase as a top 10 WR on a weekly basis regardless of who is at QB, and that goes for new Bengals QB Joe Flacco as well. Chase remains a must start each week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jamari ThrashCLE1.8 / 1.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Brandin EcholsPITModerate
Jamari Thrash continues to play a minimal role in the Browns passing offense, with only 1 reception for 22 yards on 1 target in Week 5. Thrash should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
George PickensDAL18.3 / 16
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaycee HornCARModerate
George Pickens took a back seat to teammates Ryan Flournoy and TE Jake Ferguson in Week 5, finishing 3rd among Cowboys pass catchers with 2 receptions for 57 yards on 4 targets, but found the end zone to salvage his fantasy day. I don’t expect this to be a common theme moving forward and is more likely due to Pickens having to deal with Jets CB Sauce Gardner for a good amount of the game. Pickens should continue to a top two option in the Cowboys offense with TE Jake Ferguson while CeeDee Lamb continues to miss time with an ankle injury. The matchup isn’t much easier against the Carolina secondary in Week 6, but I’ve got Pickens as a top 10 WR this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Courtland SuttonDEN16.7 / 14.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Sauce GardnerNYJModerate
Despite a touch matchup against the Eagles secondary, Courtland Sutton finished with a respectable line of 8 receptions for 99 yards on 10 targets. Sutton continues to lead the way for the Broncos passing offense, with a team high 21% target share and 27.7% first read percentage. Sutton has another difficult matchup against the Jets secondary on paper, but the Jets defense hasn’t quite lived up to expectations so far this season. I’ve got Sutton as a high-end WR2 for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jameson WilliamsDET8.5 / 7.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Trent McDuffieKCRisky
Jameson Williams was one of the most disappointing players for fantasy managers in Week 5, who finished with only reception for 9 yards on 1 target in what should have been a plus matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals secondary. With Williams finishing outside of the top 50 WRs in 4 of the first 5 weeks of the season, it’s fair to question if you should be starting Williams in your fantasy lineups moving forward. The matchup against the Chiefs secondary is much more difficult, so I’ve got Williams outside of my top 30 WRs for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Romeo DoubsGB13.7 / 12.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cam Taylor-BrittCINModerate
Romeo Doubs went into the Packers Week 5 bye with a bang, finishing the Week 4 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys with 6 receptions for 58 yards and 3 touchdowns on 8 targets. Doubs continues to compete with TE Tucker Kraft as the top option in the Packers passing offense to start the season, leading the team with a 20.3% first read percentage and tied with a team-high 15.7% target share. Despite the big game, it’s tough to trust Doubs on a weekly basis considering that was his first game this season inside the top 30 fantasy WRs on a given week. Doubs and teammate Matthew Golden are almost back-to-back in my rankings for Week 6, both just inside the top 40 WRs.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Nico CollinsHOU 
CornerbackOppMatchup
N/AN/AN/A
The Houston Texans are on bye for Week 6. Don't forget to take Nico Collins out of your fantasy lineups!
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Alec PierceIND8.7 / 7.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kei'Trel ClarkARIModerate
Alec Pierce is expected to make his return after missing the last two weeks with a concussion but remains the 4th option in the Colts offense and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Brian ThomasJAC9.6 / 8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Riq WoolenSEASafe
Brian Thomas had his best game of the season in Week 5 against the Chiefs with 4 receptions for 80 yards on 6 targets including a huge catch that help set up the Jaguars game winning drive. Even with this performance, BTJ has yet to finish inside the top 24 WRs so far this season. He has an opportunity to build on his solid week against a Seahawks secondary that was just picked apart by Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers pass catchers. I’ve got BTJ as a back-end WR2 for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
JuJu Smith-SchusterKC7.8 / 6.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Amik RobertsonDETModerate
JuJu Smith-Schuster finished Week 5 with 2 receptions for 17 yards on only 3 targets. JuJu is outside of my top 60 WRs for Week 6 and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tre TuckerLV15.5 / 13.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
L'Jarius SneedTENSafe
Tre Tucker was the most productive Raiders WR in their disappointing Week 5 showing with 4 receptions for 62 yards on 6 targets. Tucker now has 6+ targets in 3 out of the last 4 games, and should continue to be more involved if TE Brock Bowers continues to miss time with a knee injury. Tucker has a plus matchup this week and is just outside of my top 40 WRs.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Quentin JohnstonLAC17.5 / 14.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jack JonesMIASafe
Quentin Johnston finished Week 5 with 4 receptions for 40 yards on 4 targets. This was Johnston’s first true dud on the season, but he’s in a great spot for a bounce back game against the Miami Dolphins this week. Johnston still leads all Chargers pass catchers in receiving yards and is 2nd in target share. I’ve got Johnston as the highest ranked Chargers pass catcher this week, just outside of my top 15 WRs.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Davante AdamsLAR15.7 / 13.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nate WigginsBALModerate
The Rams passing offense continues to be Davante Adams and Puka Nacua and then everyone else. Adams saw 11 targets in Week 5, which he turned into 5 receptions for 88 yards. With how consolidated this passing attack is, and how talented Adams is, he continues to be a must start. I’ve got Adams as a borderline top 5 WR this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaylen WaddleMIA14.7 / 12.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cam HartLACModerate
With Tyreek Hill out for the season, Jaylen Waddle filled the role as the Dolphins go-to option in the passing game with 6 receptions for 100 yards and a TD on a team high 9 targets in Week 5. Waddle should be a borderline top 12 WR moving forward, and a must start option regardless of matchup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Justin JeffersonMIN 
CornerbackOppMatchup
N/AN/AN/A
The Minnesota Vikings are on bye in Week 6. Don’t forget to take Justin Jefferson out of your fantasy lineups!
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Kayshon BoutteNE8.6 / 7.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kool-Aid McKinstryNOSafe
Kayshon Boutte continues to be an afterthought in the Patriots passing offense after a big Week 1. Boutte’s snap count has decreased in back-to-back weeks, and he only had 3 receptions for 43 yards on 4 targets in Week 5. Boutte should be avoided in all formats despite the plus matchup. I’ve got him outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Chris OlaveNO12.5 / 9.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian GonzalezNERisky
Chris Olave once again led all Saints pass catchers with 7 receptions on 10 targets but only finished with 59 receiving yards. Olave continues to be a low upside option due to his team low 4.69 yards per target but has a safe floor due to the number of targets he sees on a weekly basis. Olave has a difficult matchup this week against the Patriots secondary, but he’s still a borderline top 24 WR due to his involvement in the passing game.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jalin HyattNYG0 / 0
CornerbackOppMatchup
Quinyon MitchellPHIModerate
Jalin Hyatt continues to be uninvolved in the Giants passing attack, unable to haul in any of his 3 targets in Week 5. Hyatt should continue to be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Garrett WilsonNYJ19 / 15.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Pat SurtainDENRisky
Garrett Wilson had another solid outing in Week 5, finishing with 6 receptions for 71 yards on 10 targets, all of which led Jets pass catchers. Wilson also caught his 4th TD and has caught a TD in all but one game this year. Wilson has a really tough challenge ahead of him in Week 6 dealing with the Surtain shadow realm, but he’s still a must start given his 30% target share. I’ve still got Wilson as a top 12 WR for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jahan DotsonPHI3.1 / 2.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cordale FlottNYGModerate
Jahan Dotson finished Week 5 with 1 reception for 24 yards on 3 targets. Dotson is the clear 4th or 5th option in this offense, and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
DK MetcalfPIT15.5 / 13.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tyson CampbellCLEModerate
Coming out of the Steelers Week 5 bye, DK Metcalf leads all Steelers pass catchers with a 20% target share and 261 receiving yards on the season. Metcalf will spend a good amount of time lining up against newly acquired Browns CB Tyson Campbell. I’ve got Metcalf just inside my top 24 WRs for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jauan JenningsSF10 / 8.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jamel DeanTBModerate
As of the time I’m writing this report, Jauan Jennings has yet to practice this week and could once again miss a game due to multiple injuries he’s currently managing. If he’s active, Jennings could have a decent opportunity with the injuries the 49ers offense is currently dealing with, but there’s still the risk of him being on a snap count due to returning from injury as well. I’ll likely avoid Jennings this week if he’s active unless we get a report that he won’t be on a snap count.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaxon Smith-NjigbaSEA21.7 / 18.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Greg NewsomeJACSafe
Week 5 was yet another productive game for Seahawks top WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished the game with 8 receptions for 132 yards on 9 targets. JSN has an insane 31.4% target share and 42% first read percentage on the season, and remains a must start option regardless of matchup. JSN is a top 5 WR for me once again in Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Emeka EgbukaTB21.7 / 19.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Renardo GreenSFModerate
Emeka Egbuka was once again the go-to guy for Bucs QB Baker Mayfield, finishing their Week 5 matchup against Seattle with 7 receptions on 7 targets for 163 yards and a TD. Mike Evans is trending toward missing another game, but at this point it doesn’t look like it’s going to matter who is healthy and whose not. Egbuka is a top 5 WR for me this week, and a must start regardless of matchup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Elic AyomanorTEN8.6 / 7.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kyu KellyLVModerate
After coming out hot to start his rookie season, Elic Ayomanor was targeted at his lowest rate of the season and finished with the least amount of receiving yards since Week 1. Coming off a performance with 2 receptions for 18 yards, Ayomanor will look to get back on track against the Raiders in Vegas. After back-to-back underwhelming performances, I’m looking to avoid Ayomanor where I can. He’s just inside my top 50 WRs for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Terry McLaurinWAS8.3 / 6.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nahshon WrightCHISafe
Fantasy managers were hoping to get Terry McLaurin back in their lineups this week, but that’s still in question with McLaurin not practicing yet this week as of Thursday morning. Fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on his status and any reports of a snap count, because he has a plus matchup ahead of him if he’s able to play Week 6 against Chicago.

Zay JonesARI2.2 / 2.1
CornerbackOppMatchup

Zay Jones had only 2 receptions and 8 yards on 2 targets in Week 5 and has only a 5% target share on the season. Jones should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Drake LondonATL14.7 / 11.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tre'Davious WhiteBUFModerate
Prior to the Falcons Week 5 bye, Drake London had his best game of the season with 8 receptions for 110 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Week 4 against the Washington Commanders. London is now up to a team high 28% target share and 38% first read percentage on the season. He’s a top 5 WR for me this week against the Buffalo Bills and a must start every week regardless of matchup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Zay FlowersBAL15.2 / 12.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darious WilliamsLARModerate
Zay Flowers looks like the only pass catcher that you will be able to somewhat trust while Lamar Jackson misses games with his hamstring injury. Flowers finished Week 5 with 4 receptions for 72 yards on 5 targets. His ceiling is capped while Cooper Rush is starting, but the targets should still provide a decent floor. I’ve got Flowers as a high-end WR3 for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Joshua PalmerBUF5.9 / 4.7

Joshua Palmer had yet another disappointing performance in Week 5 with 2 receptions for 36 yards on 2 targets. Palmer should continue to be avoided in all formats.

Brycen Tremayne had only 1 reception for 9 yards in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. With Xavier Legette returning from injury and Jalen Coker being activated from IR, Tremayne will unlikely play meaningful snaps moving forward and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Rome OdunzeCHI20.7 / 18.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Trey AmosWASRisky
Rome Odunze has taken a huge leap forward so far in his second season, leading all Bears pass catchers with a 25.6% target share and 296 receiving yards. Coming out of the bye, Odunze has a difficult matchup against Commanders standout rookie CB Trey Amos, but has had at least 7 targets in each game this season. I’ve got Odunze as a top 10 WR for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tee HigginsCIN8.2 / 6.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Keisean NixonGBModerate
Tee Higgins finished tied for 2nd among Bengals pass catchers with 7 targets but only ended up with 3 receptions for 22 yards. Thankfully for Higgins fantasy managers that are still starting him, he salvaged his fantasy day with a touchdown in the 4th quarter. With the Bengals trading the Browns for QB Joe Flacco, hopefully that will lead to Higgins being a more reliable fantasy option moving forward. Unfortunately, Flacco hasn’t been much better than Jake Browning so far this season. I’ve got Higgins just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jerry JeudyCLE6.9 / 5.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darius SlayPITModerate
In rookie QB Dillon Gabriel’s first career start, Jerry Jeudy finished 4th in targets, receptions, and receiving yards with 2 receptions for 15 yards on 3 targets in Week 5. This is just the latest in what’s been a disappointing start to the season for Jeudy. I’ve got Jerry Jeudy outside of my top 40 WRs for Week 6, and am trying to avoid starting him anywhere I can.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jalen TolbertDAL4.4 / 3.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mike JacksonCARModerate
Despite playing more snaps than Ryan Flournoy, Jalen Tolbert only had 1 target in Week 5 and finished the game without a catch. Tolbert’s ceiling is the 3rd option in this Cowboys offense, but even that looks in question at this point. I’ve got Tolbert outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 5.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Marvin MimsDEN7.9 / 6.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jarvis BrownleeNYJModerate
Marvin Mims was once again disappointing for fantasy managers in Week 5 with only 2 receptions for 10 yards on 5 targets. Mims is the clear 3rd option for the Broncos passing offense with an 11.9% target share and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Isaac TeSlaaDET4.1 / 4.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaylen WatsonKCRisky
Isaac TeSlaa caught his lone target for 12 receptions and a touchdown in Week 5, but continues to be a part-time player with only 34% of snaps in the game against the Bengals. TeSlaa should continue to be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Dontayvion WicksGB5.4 / 4.1
CornerbackOppMatchup

Dontayvion Wick continues to project as the 4th option in the Packers offense and has yet to have a week inside the top 50 fantasy WRs. Wicks should continue to be avoided in all formats.

CornerbackOppMatchup
Will JohnsonARIRisky
Michael Pittman had another solid game in Week 5 against the Raiders finishing 2nd among Colts pass catchers with 5 receptions for 39 yards and his 4th touchdown of the season on 6 targets. Pittman leads all Colts pass catchers with a 22% target share on the season and remains a go-to option for Colts QB Daniel Jones. Arizona Cardinals CB Will Johnson has played really well so far this season, but I still have Pittman as a top 20 WR for Week 6
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Dyami BrownJAC8.2 / 6.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Josh JobeSEAModerate
Dyami Brown finished Week 5 with 2 receptions for 15 yards on 4 targets. With TE Brenton Strange landing on IR, Brown is going to be provided an opportunity to make a bigger impact in this offense, but it’s not anything fantasy managers should feel comfortable trust for their lineups. I’m taking a wait and see approach so we can see if it’s Brown or Parker Washington that ends up being the #2 option behind Brian Thomas
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Hollywood BrownKC11.5 / 8.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Rock Ya-SinDETModerate
Hollywood Brown ended up with his highest target total since Week 1 with 8 targets that resulted in 4 receptions for 48 yards in Week 5 against the Jaguars. Hollywood has been solid for the Chiefs through 5 weeks, with the most receptions and 2nd most receiving yards among Kansas City pass catchers. This could be his last week to make a significant impact, with Rashee Rice expected to return in Week 7. I’ve got Hollywood Brown just inside my top 50 WRs for Week 6.

Dont'e ThorntonLV2.9 / 2.4

Dont’e Thornton continues to have minimal involvement in the Raiders offense, with 0 catches on 2 targets in Week 5. Thornton should continue to be avoided in all formats.

Keenan AllenLAC15.2 / 12.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Rasul DouglasMIASafe
Keenan Allen was the most productive Chargers pass catcher in their underwhelming Week 5 showing, with 5 receptions for 58 yards on 8 targets. Allen also had one end zone target on the week, but he and QB Justin Herbert were not able to connect on the attempt. Allen continues to hold a slight lead with a 23% target share on the season, but targets continue to be pretty spread out between the Chargers top 3 WRs.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG

Keyon MartinBALSafe
It was just another day at the office for Puka Nacua in Week 5, with 10 receptions for 85 yards and a TD on 12 targets. This marks touchdowns in back-to-back weeks for Nacua, who continues to be a must start regardless of matchup. Puka is my overall WR1 for Week 6 against a beat-up Ravens defense.

Quincy RileyNOSafe
Stefon Diggs has emerged as the #1 option for Patriots QB Drake Maye, finishing their Week 5 matchup against the Buffalo Bills with 10 receptions and 146 receiving yards on 12 targets, all of which were team highs. Diggs should be valued as a solid WR2 on a weekly basis moving forward. I’ve got Diggs just inside my top 20 WRs for Week 6, and he should be a solid play in the plus matchup against New Orleans.

Darius SlaytonNYG5.5 / 4.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kelee RingoPHIModerate
The entire Giants passing offense was underwhelming in Week 5 despite a plus matchup against the Saints, and Darius Slayton was no exception. Slayton finished with 3 receptions for 31 yards on 6 targets, with TE’s Daniel Bellinger and Theo Johnson being the two most productive pass catchers on the day. Slayton is currently dealing with a hamstring injury, so his status will need to be monitored heading into the weekend. Even if he’s healthy, he shouldn’t be started against the Eagles secondary.

Despite the plus matchup against the Cowboys in Week 5, Josh Reynolds finished with only 3 receptions for 29 yards on 4 targets. Reynolds has a target share below 10% on the season and should continue to be avoided in all formats. The #2 option in this passing offense behind Garrett Wilson is rookie TE Mason Taylor.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
A.J. BrownPHI9.5 / 7.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Pualson AdeboNYGModerate
A.J. Brown was disappointing for fantasy managers once again in Week 5, only able to turn his 8 targets into 5 receptions for 43 yards. This one was a little more understandable given the matchup with Broncos star CB Pat Surtain. Brown has had 8+ targets every game since his one target game in Week 1 but has still only delivered for fantasy managers once this season. The Giants have been a plus matchup for fantasy WRs so far this year, and Hurts reportedly had a discussion with his top WRs earlier this week, so maybe we get to see the A.J. Brown we’ve been expecting this week. I’ve got Brown as a high-end WR2 for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG

Kendrick BourneSF11 / 8.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jacob ParrishTBModerate
Jauan Jennings is still missing practice, and it’s already been reported that Ricky Pearsall is unlikely to play this week, so Kendrick Bourne could be in for another heavy workload in Week 5. Bourne led the way for the 49ers in Week 5, finishing with 10 receptions for 142 yards on 11 targets. His familiarity with QB Mac Jones from their time together in New England was evident, and he could be a solid start once again this week if both Pearsall and Jennings are inactive.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tory HortonSEA8.9 / 8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Travis HunterJACModerate
Tory Horton finished Week 5 with 3 receptions for 39 yards on 4 targets, but found the end zone for the 3rd time in the last 4 games. Horton continues to compete with Cooper Kupp as the 2nd option in this passing offense, but the lack of consistent targets has made him TD dependent. Given it’s unlikely for Horton to continue to run as hot as he has been in the TD department, I’m looking to avoid putting him in my fantasy lineups where I can. Horton is just inside my top 60 WRs for Week 6.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tez JohnsonTB3.1 / 2.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Deommodore LenoirSFRisky
Tez Johnson had a decent game filling in for Mike Evans in Week 5, finishing with 4 receptions for 59 yards on 4 targets. Johnson should get another opportunity to play significant snaps this week with Evans expected to miss another game, but fantasy manager should stay clear of Johnson as he appears to be the 4th option at best even with Evans out of the lineup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Calvin RidleyTEN9 / 7.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Eric StokesLVModerate
Calvin Ridley had easily his best game of the season in Week 5, finishing with 5 receptions for 131 yards on 10 targets, all of which were season bests for Ridley. It was encouraging to see Ridley and Ward’s chemistry start to build down the stretch of their Week 5 matchup against Arizona, but I’m not sure fantasy managers should feel confident putting him back in their lineups just yet. I’ve got Ridley as a top 35 WR this week, so you can start him if you need too, but I’d like to see him perform in back-to-back games before I feel confident playing him.

Jaylin Lane finished Week 5 with 1 reception for 16 yards on 2 targets and continues to have limited opportunities. Lane should be avoided in all formats.

CornerbackOppMatchup
Taron JohnsonBUFModerate
Darnell Mooney left the Falcons Week 4 contest against the Washington Commanders in the 3rd quarter with a hamstring injury and had only 1 reception for 15 yards on 1 target while playing 45% of snaps. With a timely week 5 bye, the hamstring injury isn’t expected to affect his ability for Week 6. Mooney should continue to compete with Kyle Pitts to be the Falcons 2nd option in the passing offense, and is just inside my top 40 WRs this week.

CornerbackOppMatchup
Billy BowmanATLModerate
Khalil Shakir led all Bills pass catchers with 9 targets in Week 5 and finished the game with 6 receptions for 45 yards. He had a season-low 5 yards per target, but it was the 2nd game with 9 targets through 5 weeks. Due to how much Josh Allen spreads the ball around, and the type of targets Shakir has been seeing, he remains a low-upside option with a decent floor. I’ve got Shakir as the top ranked Bills WR for Week 6, just outside my top 30 WRs for the week.

Chamarri ConnerKCModerate
Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to do Amon-Ra St. Brown things. ARSB finished Week 5 with a team high 8 receptions for 100 yards on 9 targets and leads all Lions pass catchers with a 27.4% target share on the season. There’s not much that needs to be said here, St. Brown continues to be a must-start on a weekly basis.

Matthew GoldenGB6.6 / 5.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Daxton HillCINModerate
Leading up to the Packers Week 5 bye, rookie WR Matthew Golden was starting to see his role in the offense increase. Golden’s targets have continued to climb as the season has gone on, reaching a season high 6 targets, 5 receptions, and 58 yards. We’ll see if the first round rookie ends up receiving a post-bye bump in usage for a team that’s still looking for a go-to option. Through 4 weeks, there’s not a Packers pass catcher with a target share over 16%. I’ve got Golden just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 6.

Avonte MaddoxDETModerate
Xavier Worthy finished Week 5 with 6 receptions for 42 yards despite being an unexpected addition to the Chiefs injury report earlier in the week. Worthy now has 8+ targets in back-to-back weeks after returning from injury. Given his involvement in the offense, and the potential for a shootout against the Detroit Lions, Worthy has a high ceiling for Week 6. I’ve got Worthy just inside my top 10 WRs for the week.

CornerbackOppMatchup
Roger McCrearyTENSafe
The Raiders passing offense was a huge let down in Week 5, and nobody probably felt this more than Jakobi Meyers owners. He was in a great spot against the Colts secondary but only finished with 4 receptions for 32 yards on 6 targets. Given the matchup, and TE Brock Bowers being inactive, expectations were much higher than that. Meyers was still tied for the team lead in targets, but Geno Smith has been spreading the ball around and not playing particularly well while he’s doing it. Meyers has another plus matchup once again this week and is just outside of my top 24 WRs for the week.

Cornell ArmstrongMIASafe
Ladd McConkey was set up in a smash spot in Week 5 against a Commanders secondary that has really struggled to cover slot WRs but only ended up with 5 receptions for 39 yards on 7 targets. Thankfully for fantasy managers, Ladd ended up saving his day with his first TD of the season, but it was an underwhelming performance overall given the matchup. McConkey has another plus matchup against Miami this week, and while I still have him inside my top 24 WRs, he’s the lowest ranked of the top 3 Chargers WRs.

CornerbackOppMatchup
Andru PhillipsNYGModerate
DeVonta Smith led the way for Eagles pass catchers in Week 5, finishing the game with 8 receptions for 114 yards on 10 targets. With Brown dealing with Pat Surtain most of the day, Smith was able to take advantage of the favorable matchup he had with his highest yardage total on the season. Smith is now set up to build on this performance with a positive matchup against the Giants secondary. I’ve got Smith as a high-end WR3 for Week 5, just inside my top 30 WRs.

Chris Godwin Jr.PHI5.6 / 4.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Upton StoutNYGModerate
After missing the first three games of the season due to an injury, Chris Godwin now has back-to-back weeks with 3 receptions for 26 yards. The targets were down compared to the previous week, but he’s still expected to be a full-time player moving forward and will have better days ahead as he continues to work back up to game speed. Godwin has been absent from practice to start the week, so his status will need to be monitored headed into the weekend. I’ll likely have Godwin as a solid WR3, just outside of my top 30 WRs, if active.

Deebo SamuelWAS17.7 / 14.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kyler GordonCHIModerate
With Terry McLauring missing Week 5, Deebo Samuel once again served as the Commanders WR1 and delivered for fantasy managers. Sanuel finished the game with 8 receptions for 96 yards and a TD on 11 targets. Through 5 weeks, Deebo leads all Commanders pass catchers with a 26% target share and 300 receiving yards. McLaurin has yet to practice this week, so Deebo could be in for another week as the focal point of the Commanders passing attack. I’ve got Deebo as a top 15 WR for Week 6.
