Every week, Wide receiver is a volatile position, but after five weeks of the season, we’re starting to get a solid read on what to expect from key players at the position each week. With bye weeks rolling on in Week 6, it should be another exciting week ahead with 30 teams in action and some great matchups on the board. Who should you count on to produce in Week 6? Let’s take a look at my top 30 WR Rankings for Week 6 after a quick recap of Week 5.
During Week 5 (not counting Monday’s games), young options continue to crowd the top of the leaderboard. Emeka Egbuka (31.3 FPTS) set the pace in Week 5 with a slight lead over Ja’Marr Chase (29 FPTS), who bounced back with a big week even without Joe Burrow (toe). Jaxon Smith-Njigba (27.2 FPTS) tried to keep up with Egbuka and the Bucs, while Stefon Diggs (24.6 FPTS), Puka Nacua (24.5 FPTS) and Kendrick Bourne (24.2 FPTS) each had 10 catches in their big weeks in the top six. Deebo Samuel Sr. (23.6 FPTS) and Jaylen Waddle (23 FPTS) took advantage of more work available due to injuries to their teammates and put together big weeks to finish in the top eight receivers for the week.
Week 6 continues this season’s bye weeks with the Texans and Vikings on a bye week. With Justin Jefferson and Nico Collins off the top of the rankings, you’ll need to slot in other options into your lineup this week.
