Week 5 was unsatisfactory, and I’m not going to dress it up. Michael Wilson captured 4 passes for 30 lawns, Carnell Tate handled one catch for 6, and I sat Emeka Egbuka before he turned 9 targets and a hurrying goal into an excellent dream day. Jameson Williams provided 2 goals and the Jake Ferguson sit worked, however those hits do not eliminate the misses out on.
Bhayshul Tuten got 24 touches and still completed with just 10.6 Half-PPR points. That is a crucial lesson from a bad week: touches matter, however we still need to take a look at the offense getting those touches and whether the gamer is doing enough with them. I likewise am not counting the DJ Moore sit as a win when he did not play.
For Week 6, the starts are gamers with a genuine task to do: Stevenson’s existing work, Allen’s 24 brings, Marks actioning in after an injury and Boston making targets in a bad passing offense. The sits are harder. I want to move far from a huge name when the present production is not there. These are 7 fresh calls, not recently’s choices with a various label.
Scoring: These calls utilize my October 14 Week 6 Half-PPR rankings, with the most recent rest-of-season ranks together with them. The contrast matters: Allen and Marks have actually one-week chances driven by injuries, while Hurts and Loveland still bring more long-lasting worth than this match recommends. I likewise inspected playing time, touches, targets, challengers and the news that can alter a lineup call. See the complete Week 6 dream football rankings.
START · RB · NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Rhamondre Stevenson: The Lead-Back Job Is Getting Bigger
Week 6RB15
Rest of SeasonRB21
Challengervs. NYJ
TreVeyon Henderson decreasing is the heading, however Rhamondre Stevenson had actually currently made the brings. He ran it 13 times in both Weeks 4 and 5, scored in each video game and captured 3 passes in each. Those receptions matter in Half-PPR. He can assist without requiring another journey to the end zone.
Now TreVeyon Henderson is anticipated to miss out on several weeks with a high ankle sprain. New England can still turn other backs, and left take on Will Campbell’s knee injury matters, however Stevenson is the one getting both brings and captures. He’s RB15 for this match and RB21 rest of season. That is an affordable one-week bump for a reputable back dealing with the Jets, not a forecast that the Patriots will offer him every touch.
My Call Start Stevenson as an RB2. The brings and captures provide him a much better flooring than a back who requires one long term to conserve the day.
START · RB · NEW YORK JETS
Braelon Allen: Twenty-Four Carries Are Hard to Ignore
Week 6RB17
Rest of SeasonRB47
Challenger@ NE
Braelon Allen got 24 brings versus Cleveland and turned them into 116 lawns. The 22-yard goal to put the Jets ahead was the emphasize. I care more about the other 23 brings. That is the sort of work that offers a dream running back more than one method to settle.
Breece Hall is still week-to-week with his quad injury and was eliminated of Wednesday’s practice. Allen has actually currently dealt with a complete video game as the lead back, with Isaiah Davis behind him on PFM’s Jets depth chart. New England will be a harder test than Cleveland, however the ranking space informs the story: Allen is RB17 today and just RB47 rest of season. I am purchasing the 24-carry task while Hall is out, not pretending Allen has actually changed him for the year.
My Call Start Allen as an RB2 if Hall stays outIf Hall is cleared to play, review the whole backfield before setting the lineup.
START · RB · HOUSTON TEXANS
Woody Marks: Houston Has a Chance to Give Him the Lead Role
Week 6RB20
Rest of SeasonRB35
Challenger@ JAC
Woody Marks did not rating versus Tennessee. He still completed with 19 touches: 15 brings for 62 lawns and 4 catches for 23. That is the part of his Week 5 box rating I have an interest in. He got the ball on the ground and remained included when Houston tossed it.
David Montgomery left the Titans video game with a groin injury, and DeMeco Ryans called him week-to-week. Ryans has actually suggested Marks can deal with more work while Montgomery is out. The Texans depth chart still notes Montgomery ahead of Marks, which is why the injury is so essential to this call. Marks is RB20 for Week 6 and RB35 rest of season. That’s a chance I’ll utilize versus Jacksonville, supplied Montgomery stays out; I am not anticipating Houston to develop into a dominant running group overnight.
My Call Start Marks as an RB2 or flex if Montgomery is non-activeValidate the inactives before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. If Montgomery plays, Marks is a various bet.
START · WR · CLEVELAND BROWNS
Denzel Boston: Seven Targets in Back-to-Back Games Have My Attention
Week 6WR18
Rest of SeasonWR47
Challengervs. BAL
Cleveland has actually not been a simple offense to trust, however Denzel Boston keeps providing Deshaun Watson a factor to toss his method. The novice has 7 targets in each of his last 2 video games. He set up 89 lawns versus Pittsburgh, then captured the Browns ‘goal versus the Jets. That is more significant than a receiver who appears as soon as for a long rating.
Boston now has 330 getting lawns and 3 goals through 5 video games. Here is what concerns me: Cleveland permitted 8 sacks versus the Jets, and Baltimore will check that defense once again. Watson might not have time to let every path establish. Still, Boston is noted as a beginning receiver on PFM’s Browns depth chart and is getting chances that other Cleveland wideouts are not. I have him WR18 today versus a WR47 rest-of-season rank. That is the boldest receiver call here. I’m banking on his current targets, with the quarterback and offending line making the disadvantage really genuine.
My Call Start Boston as a WR2 or flex over receivers who are getting just 3 or 4 looks a video game. The quarterback and security make this the riskiest start of the 4.
SIT · QB · PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Jalen Hurts: The Name Still Says QB1. The Last Three Games Do Not.
Week 6QB16
Rest of SeasonQB7
Challengervs. CAR
This is the most significant name I want to sit today. Jalen Hurts has actually scored 12.6, 13.5 and 13.0 dream points in his last 3 video games. Versus Jacksonville, he tossed 40 passes for 220 backyards and one goal, then included just 2 hurrying lawns. That is not the Hurts supervisors prepared to bring a lineup.
The hurrying goals have actually not existed either. Injures has one through 5 video games, and Philadelphia’s passing offense has actually invested a lot of drives going no place. Carolina is a match he can make use of, so I am not pretending the ceiling is gone. His QB7 rest-of-season rank shows that skill and history, however I have him QB16 for this specific week. If you can begin a healthy quarterback in my Week 6 leading 10, I would make the switch rather of banking on a hurrying goal to cover another peaceful death video game.
My Call Sit Hurts just if you have a healthy top-10 Week 6 quarterbackDo not require a waiver-wire gamble simply to bench him, however stop dealing with the season-long name as an automated start.
SIT · RB · DENVER BRONCOS
J.K. Dobbins: That Touchdown Covered Up a Tough Running Game
Week 6RB28
Rest of SeasonRB25
Challengervs. SEA
J.K. Dobbins scored versus the Chargers. He likewise required 18 reaches get 68 lawns, and his 2 catches included simply 6 lawns. That was his very first hurrying goal of the season. Strip ball game out and Denver got little dream production from a running back who has actually not hurried for 70 lawns in a video game this year.
Now Seattle concerns Denver on Thursday night. The Seahawks have a strong protective front, and the Broncos produced just 224 overall backyards versus Los Angeles. I still anticipate Dobbins to get brings. The problem is what those brings deserve if Denver has a hard time to sustain drives or include him as a receiver. His RB28 weekly rank is just 3 areas behind his RB25 rest-of-season rank, so this is not an alerting to discard him. It is a call to sit him when you have a back with much better volume or a much better scoring chance today.
My Call Sit Dobbins if you can begin Stevenson, Allen with Hall out, or Marks with Montgomery out. Do not chase after last Sunday’s goal into a Thursday lineup.
SIT · TE · CHICAGO BEARS
Colston Loveland: I Still Like the Talent. I Do Not Like the Weekly Role.
Week 6TE16
Rest of SeasonTE10
Challenger@ ATL
Colston Loveland made a genuine case for more deal with 6 catches for 57 lawns in Week 4. He followed it with 2 catches for 19 lawns in Week 5. 5 targets are not a catastrophe at tight end, however Chicago has actually not been getting sufficient constant production out of him to make the name an automated start.
Loveland has 13 catches, 110 backyards and no goals through 5 video games. The skill is not my issue, which is why he stays TE10 rest of season. Week 6 is another story: he is TE16 versus Atlanta, and Chicago still requires to make him a larger part of the death video game. Caleb Williams is anticipated to practice completely Wednesday as he works back from a hamstring injury, however his schedule is not settled. I would rather utilize a tight end getting constant catches now than wager my lineup on the week Loveland lastly breaks out.
My Call Sit Loveland if a healthy top-12 Week 6 tight end is readily available. The long-lasting benefit does not make this a simple weekly start.
What I Am Trusting in Week 6
Stevenson was getting brings and captures before Henderson got harmed. Allen made 24 brings with Hall out. Marks got 19 touches when Montgomery left. Boston has actually drawn 7 targets in back-to-back video games. Their greater Week 6 ranks are not a reason to overlook the ROS numbers. They reveal where a genuine Sunday chance can matter more than the longer-term outlook. Allen and Marks specifically depend upon the injury report.
The sits are not a statement that Hurts, Dobbins or Loveland all of a sudden ended up being bad gamers. Harms stays a top-seven rest-of-season quarterback, however the hurrying ratings are not coming today. Dobbins is close to his season-long rank however deals with Seattle on a brief week. Loveland is still a top-10 rest-of-season tight end in my rankings; he simply has actually not provided us enough captures to trust him Sunday. For Week 6, I desire the ideal work at the correct time.
Ranks evaluated: October 14, 2026. All 7 Weekly and rest-of-season positions are drawn from the current 2026 Half-PPR ranking exports. Dobbins plays Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET, so that call comes. Houston plays Jacksonville in London on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ETInspect Montgomery, Hall and the last inactives before locking those starts. Rankings and schedule can still alter before kickoff.
