Week 6 is another huge week in the NFL with great matchups all across the scoreboard. Much like last week’s Sunday schedule, a London game kicks off the Sunday action early, with 10 games on the main DFS fantasy football slate, which kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET. Seven games begin at 1:00 p.m. ET this Sunday, with three games in the later wave. To help you as you get your lineup together, each week we’ll be running down the fantasy football rankings at each of the primary positions for the main DraftKings slate in this cheat sheet
Who are you buying or selling coming into the week, and what matchups can you not wait to attack? The 10 games include plenty of intriguing contests to attack and some tough ones to avoid as well. The 49ers-Bucs matchup and the Bengals-Packers matchups are especially juicy in the late window.
These fantasy football rankings are based on what we know coming into the week on Monday, so stay tuned to DK Network for more news throughout the week to see if your lineup should be adjusted at all.
These player rankings are based solely on total output, independent of the players’ salaries. They do not account for value, ownership, ceiling or correlation, which should all be factors in building your final lineup. They are, however, a great starting point as you start to look ahead or as you compare specific options in a particular position.
To catch up on the top lineup from the Week 5 contest, check out my breakdown of the winning lineup. You can also find full rankings for the week at each position on my author page. The rankings on this page do not include any players from the prime time matchups, which are on separate slates. Each of the position-specific rankings includes all the players for the entire week.
