Fantasy Football Week 6

Three NFL players who should add some much-needed momentum to fantasy lineups this week

Wan'Dale Robinson (WR, New York Giants) against the Bengals defense

Wan'Dale Robinson has been a sneaky fantasy asset in PPR formats this season. He's not a big yardage or touchdown guy, but he's valuable in receptions. He is currently tied for fourth in the league in receptions 32. He's the WR21 of the year and has a great chance to climb even higher in the rankings this weekend.

Wan'Dale Robinson is the best receiving option for the New York Giants this week. With Malik Nabers missing this week, Robinson is in no real threat to his target share. He concedes an average of six balls per game and should have no problem continuing that trend as the leader this week.

In addition to being the first choice in the receiving game, the Giants are playing against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have a pretty mediocre defense. Through five weeks, the Bengals are 18th in pass defense while the Giants are 13th in the league in passing yards. Daniel Jones has been playing well latelythrew for 230 or more yards in the last three games.

The Bengals are 3.5 points With an over/under of 47 points scored, he is the favorite this week. With the Bengals the favorite in such a close matchup, the Giants will likely maintain a fairly balanced attack, meaning Wandale should get some work this week. He's a great flex player against a suspect defense, especially since Daniel Jones seems to be playing in a good rhythm.

Bijan Robinson (RB, Atlanta Falcons) against the Panthers defense

Bijan Robinson's breakout game should finally be here!

Bijan Robinson faces a ferocious Carolina defense that is giving up 144 rushing yards per game 26 in the league. They've had trouble stopping the run all year and will be challenged this week. Bijan will be the best running back they have faced since their game against Alvin Kamara and the Saints in Week 1.

There is no reason why Bijan Robinson shouldn't have his best game of the season. For him it is a perfect combination. The Atlanta Falcons offense is averaging 10 yards per game and they are playing a team that nothing can stop. The Falcons are six and a half points They are among the favorites and should take an early lead and maintain the run game.

Bijan Robinson should allay any concerns managers have this week. This game will hopefully inspire confidence in him and managers everywhere after his disappointing start to the season.

Josh Downs (WR, Indianapolis Colts) against the Titans defense

The Titans have the number one pass defense in terms of yards allowed per game, but those numbers don't tell the whole story.

In the first week they played the Chicago Bears, which marked Caleb Williams' first career start, then in the third week against a Packers team without Jordan Love, and in the fourth week against a Miami Dolphins team without Tua Tagovailoa. In Week 2, the Titans held Aaron Rodgers to just 176 yards, but even Rodgers played like a shell of his former self.

Indianapolis isn't an elite passing attack, but they have enough talent to put Tennessee to the test. The Colts will be without Jonathan Taylor and possibly Michael Pittman Jr. this week. Downs normally serves as the second receiver for Indy, but if Pittman were ruled out, Downs would be the primary target for Anthony Richardson.

Josh Downs has looked great this season. He got off to a slow start upon his return, but finished as WR8 and WR18 over the final two weeks. He averages almost nine goals and seven balls per game. If he were the Colts' top receiver this week, he could be a weekly winner for the fantasy managers who decided to use him.

It will be interesting to see how Josh Downs is used now that Anthony Richardson is set to return to the starting lineup. Richardson has been a disappointment and all of Downs' production this season has come from Joe Flacco. This is a great week for Richardson to get back on track, and Josh Downs should certainly help with that. He's a solid flex option despite the boom/bust characteristics that Richardson brings to the offense.
