Welcome to the Week 6 WR Rankings!
I chose Adam Thielen for the top spot in the rankings this week because he’s earned it and because I love the way this week’s matchup with Arizona sets up for him. Welcome to the top spot, Adam! Always cool to get a first timer up there. Tonight’s game in Philadelphia looks like a bad weather game, so follow the weather. My advice is to stick to your original plan unless it’s really bad. The wind is the biggest concern and it appears to be mild.
I’ll keep grinding these rankings tomorrow and Saturday, so check back for the final update (usually Saturday night) if you have any tough choices.
I’ll be back in a bit with the RBs and TEs.
Bye teams: Saints & Lions.

Rank | Player | Team | Salary | Matchup | The Skinny |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Adam Thielen | MIN | 8.500 | ARI@MIN 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | He’s playing really well and should avoid Patrick Peterson most of the day so I love his chances. |
2 | Julio Jones | ATL | 7.900 | TB@ATL 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | This matchup sets up well for him and he has some touchdown history against this opponent so who knows. He HAS to score eventually! |
3 | Antonio Brown | PIT | 8.700 | PIT@CIN 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | I don’t fear the matchup as much as I fear this becoming an ugly upside lowering game. Brown can handle their corners and should do well. |
4 | Davante Adams | GB | 8.000 | SF@GB 10/15/2018 08:15PM ET | Liking him in this matchup. |
5 | Mike Evans | TB | 8.100 | TB@ATL 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | They will be throwing a lot but the matchup is a challenge as both Alford and Trufant can play. Alford’s been giving up some stats though, so I’m definitely looking at Evans this week in DFF. |
6 | Tyreek Hill | KC | 7.800 | KC@NE 10/14/2018 08:20PM ET | He’s a dangerous man this week. The Chiefs have balance and the Patriots don’t really have anybody to play man on Hill. A repeat of last year’s big play is possible. |
7 | DeAndre Hopkins | HOU | 7.700 | BUF@HOU 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | He’s got a sore foot and this is not an easy matchup. Still an easy call as a WR1 in seasonal leagues. |
8 | A.J. Green | CIN | 8.000 | PIT@CIN 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Should see a lot of Joe Haden so not an easy matchup, but it’s not like Haden is the new Revis Island or something. |
9 | JuJu Smith-Schuster | PIT | 7.300 | PIT@CIN 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Slowed down the last two weeks but should do well here. |
10 | Stefon Diggs | MIN | 7.600 | ARI@MIN 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Will see a lot of Peterson which increases the odds of a bad day, but Diggs can do a ton on a few touches, so still a strong play. |
11 | Keenan Allen | LAC | 7.500 | LAC@CLE 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | He’s been checking in at about 8-9 targets per game and has yet to have more than 10 in a game this year. His sore knee could be a factor, but I’m not all-in on him until we see bigger workloads like the ones we’ve seen in the past. |
12 | Brandin Cooks | LAR | 7.000 | LAR@DEN 10/14/2018 04:05PM ET | He’s looking like a good bet to get cleared from the league’s concussion protocol and play versus Denver. |
13 | Robert Woods | LAR | 6.900 | LAR@DEN 10/14/2018 04:05PM ET | Locked in right now. |
14 | Julian Edelman | NE | 6.100 | KC@NE 10/14/2018 08:20PM ET | Looked spry last week. I see good things going forward. Love him in this shootout. Good chance at 8+ catches and a score. |
15 | Jarvis Landry | CLE | 6.600 | LAC@CLE 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Not on the injury report so fire him up. Tough matchup though. |
16 | Tyler Boyd | CIN | 6.000 | PIT@CIN 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Playing really good football right now. He’s making the big catches for them and Dalton’s trust in him is obvious. |
17 | Sammy Watkins | KC | 5.400 | KC@NE 10/14/2018 08:20PM ET | Practicing fully and in a good spot here. |
18 | Cooper Kupp | LAR | 6.500 | LAR@DEN 10/14/2018 04:05PM ET | As with Cooks, Kupp is looking like a good bet to get cleared from the league’s concussion protocol and play versus Denver. |
19 | Emmanuel Sanders | DEN | 6.700 | LAR@DEN 10/14/2018 04:05PM ET | They will be throwing often, I would think. |
20 | DeSean Jackson | TB | 5.900 | TB@ATL 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Liking the matchup. |
21 | Will Fuller V | HOU | 6.800 | BUF@HOU 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Sore hamstring is a concern. |
22 | Amari Cooper | OAK | 5.200 | SEA@OAK 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | It’s been a rough ride, but I’m actually hopeful. He’s running and cutting well. |
23 | Calvin Ridley | ATL | 6.300 | TB@ATL 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Still playing fewer snaps than I’d like, but the targets have been there so feels pretty safe as a WR3. |
24 | John Brown | BAL | 5.500 | BAL@TEN 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET | He’ll be the focus of the defense in this one, but he’s going to be targeted downfield often, so worth a look as a WR3. |
25 | Corey Davis | TEN | 5.800 | BAL@TEN 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET | Needs better QB play and will probably get it eventually. Tough matchup here. |
26 | Demaryius Thomas | DEN | 5.800 | LAR@DEN 10/14/2018 04:05PM ET | |
27 | Tyler Lockett | SEA | 5.100 | SEA@OAK 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
28 | Doug Baldwin | SEA | 5.300 | SEA@OAK 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Did nothing last week but now has a few games under his belt. He should do well here. |
29 | Robby Anderson | NYJ | 4.600 | IND@NYJ 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Good matchup and he’s found his groove with Darnold after last week’s explosion. |
30 | Josh Gordon | NE | 5.400 | KC@NE 10/14/2018 08:20PM ET | I think he’s a good play unless we hear something more concerning about his hamstring. |
31 | Devin Funchess | CAR | 4.900 | CAR@WAS 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
32 | Dede Westbrook | JAX | 5.000 | JAX@DAL 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET | Gets a bump to WR3 status in full PPR. |
33 | Quincy Enunwa | NYJ | 5.600 | IND@NYJ 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
34 | Keke Coutee | HOU | 4.600 | BUF@HOU 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | He’s off the injury report and good to go. |
35 | Chester Rogers | IND | 4.500 | IND@NYJ 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Gets a bump in PPR. He’s had a significant role with Hilton out, and Hilton’s out again. |
36 | Keelan Cole | JAX | 4.800 | JAX@DAL 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET | |
37 | Allen Robinson II | CHI | 5.700 | CHI@MIA 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
38 | Jordy Nelson | OAK | 4.900 | SEA@OAK 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
39 | Mohamed Sanu | ATL | 4.800 | TB@ATL 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
40 | Michael Crabtree | BAL | 4.700 | BAL@TEN 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET | |
41 | Taylor Gabriel | CHI | 4.300 | CHI@MIA 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Miller returns so that hurts his target share some. |
42 | Kenny Stills | MIA | 4.700 | CHI@MIA 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
43 | Geronimo Allison | GB | 5.300 | SF@GB 10/15/2018 08:15PM ET | Sounds like he’ll make it back this week, but the sore hamstring is his final hurdle. I’ll upgrade him if he practices fully. ***UPDATE*** Both Allison and Cobb are game time decisions, so with the Monday game, it’s a nightmare to avoid. |
44 | Ryan Grant | IND | 4.600 | IND@NYJ 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
45 | Willie Snead IV | BAL | 4.100 | BAL@TEN 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET | He’s been solid in his role and should get you 10+ PPR points. |
46 | Chris Godwin | TB | 4.400 | TB@ATL 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | He’s a flex play but I’m watching him carefully this week. We should learn something about the rest of the season from this week’s roles/playing time. |
47 | Mike Williams | LAC | 4.300 | LAC@CLE 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Has some ceiling here but a lot will depend on how they choose to allocate their corners. |
48 | Marquise Goodwin | SF | 4.800 | SF@GB 10/15/2018 08:15PM ET | |
49 | Courtland Sutton | DEN | 3.500 | LAR@DEN 10/14/2018 04:05PM ET | |
50 | Christian Kirk | ARI | 4.200 | ARI@MIN 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Tough matchup. |
51 | Chris Hogan | NE | 4.000 | KC@NE 10/14/2018 08:20PM ET | |
52 | Donte Moncrief | JAX | 4.400 | JAX@DAL 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET | |
53 | Larry Fitzgerald | ARI | 4.500 | ARI@MIN 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
54 | Antonio Callaway | CLE | 4.000 | LAC@CLE 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
55 | Taywan Taylor | TEN | 3.900 | BAL@TEN 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET | |
56 | Tyrell Williams | LAC | 3.700 | LAC@CLE 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
57 | Jamison Crowder | WAS | 4.600 | CAR@WAS 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Has an ankle sprain and could miss this week. I’ll update him Saturday. **UPDATE*** Still questionable. |
58 | Paul Richardson Jr. | WAS | 4.100 | CAR@WAS 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Highly questionable with knee and shoulder concerns. Will update him Saturday. ***UPDATE*** Still questionable. No clarity and very risky. |
59 | Marquez Valdes-Scantling | GB | 4.600 | SF@GB 10/15/2018 08:15PM ET | Sounds like Cobb and Geronimo will return, so his role will shrink. it’ll be interesting to see how much he plays. I doubt they put him back in moth balls. |
60 | Curtis Samuel | CAR | 3.800 | CAR@WAS 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
61 | Albert Wilson | MIA | 3.800 | CHI@MIA 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
62 | Anthony Miller | CHI | 3.500 | CHI@MIA 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Returns this week. Now we’ll see if he’s 100 percent. |
63 | Josh Doctson | WAS | 3.700 | CAR@WAS 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Sore heel. Not 100% but could have to play anyway. |
64 | Jakeem Grant | MIA | 3.600 | CHI@MIA 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
65 | David Moore | SEA | 3.600 | SEA@OAK 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |

67 | Pierre Garcon | SF | 4.700 | SF@GB 10/15/2018 08:15PM ET | Has shoulder and knee concerns and no practice so very shaky to play. |
68 | Jermaine Kearse | NYJ | 3.500 | IND@NYJ 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
69 | Zay Jones | BUF | 3.500 | BUF@HOU 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
70 | Randall Cobb | GB | 5.100 | SF@GB 10/15/2018 08:15PM ET | Game time decision (hamstring) and playing Monday. |

83 | Josh Reynolds | LAR | 3.900 | LAR@DEN 10/14/2018 04:05PM ET | Could play a big role if either Kupp or Cooks can’t go. Both have concussion symptoms. |
84 | Danny Amendola | MIA | 3.700 | CHI@MIA 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |

94 | DeVante Parker | MIA | 3.300 | CHI@MIA 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Still unsure if they want him t play but he sounds healthy. |
95 | Derrick Willies | CLE | 3.200 | LAC@CLE 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | |
96 | Maurice Harris | WAS | 3.000 | CAR@WAS 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Could be a factor if enough Washington WRs sit out. |
97 | Brian Quick | WAS | 3.000 | CAR@WAS 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Could be a factor if enough Washington WRs sit out. |

102 | Rashard Higgins | CLE | 3.900 | LAC@CLE 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | OUT (knee) |
103 | Travis Benjamin | LAC | 3.500 | LAC@CLE 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET | Doubtful (foot) |
104 | Trent Taylor | SF | 4.000 | SF@GB 10/15/2018 08:15PM ET | Doubtful with a back injury. |
105 | Dante Pettis | SF | 3.500 | SF@GB 10/15/2018 08:15PM ET | OUT (knee) |
106 | Odell Beckham Jr. | NYG | 7.800 | PHI@NYG 10/11/2018 08:20PM ET | ALREADY PLAYED — Very good matchup and has a fair price on DK for those of you playing the Thursday slates. |
107 | Sterling Shepard | NYG | 5.700 | PHI@NYG 10/11/2018 08:20PM ET | ALREADY PLAYED — He’s getting extra targets with Engram out. |
108 | Cody Latimer | NYG | 3.000 | PHI@NYG 10/11/2018 08:20PM ET | ALREADY PLAYED — Could make a play or two. |
109 | Alshon Jeffery | PHI | 5.900 | PHI@NYG 10/11/2018 08:20PM ET | ALREADY PLAYED — I feel like he can do some damage against Janoris Jenkins, but it’ll be a good battle. Some bad weather is on tap as well. |
110 | Nelson Agholor | PHI | 5.200 | PHI@NYG 10/11/2018 08:20PM ET | ALREADY PLAYED — He’s been light lately but I wouldn’t run too far from him. He’s a legit WR3 option if you need him. |
111 | Jordan Matthews | PHI | 3.400 | PHI@NYG 10/11/2018 08:20PM ET | ALREADY PLAYED — Needs to make a big plays as he’s forth at best on the target totem pole. |
112 | Shelton Gibson | PHI | 3.000 | PHI@NYG 10/11/2018 08:20PM ET | ALREADY PLAYED — Made a big play last week. It was a remarkable catch. |
