WR Rankings Week 6 (updated Saturday)

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
66	D.J. Moore	CAR	4.000	CAR@WAS 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.

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.
98	Allen Hurns	DAL	3.000	JAX@DAL 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET
99	Deonte Thompson	DAL	3.000	JAX@DAL 10/14/2018 04:25PM ET

101	T.Y. Hilton	IND	6.400	IND@NYJ 10/14/2018 01:00PM ET	OUT (hamstring)
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.
