It’s Week 6, and fantasy football lineups are starting to look like Frankenstein’s monster — part brilliance, part horror, and a whole lot of questionable decision-making. The bye weeks are here, injuries are piling up, and that “sure thing” Flex from Week 2 now looks like a pumpkin left out since Labor Day. Luckily, our Featured Pros have you covered with their latest round of Start and Sit recommendations, highlighting this week’s must-starts and must-bench duds. Let’s dive in before another “game-time decision” ruins your Sunday.

Fantasy Football Week 6 Start/Sit Advice
Sleepers
Which player outside of the top 100 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is a good sleeper start, and why do you think he has upside this week?
AJ Barner (TE – SEA)
“AJ Barner was supposed to be an afterthought when the Seahawks drafted Elijah Arroyo. Instead, he has taken over the No. 1 TE role for the team and posted top-nine finishes in three weeks so far (including TE1 overall last week). Even after that, he is still ranked at TE21, which makes him a steal for managers who are paying attention to the waiver wire. Last week, he was targeted seven times. That should start to be a regular occurrence with Sam Darnold‘s confidence in the young tight end growing. Start him this week and for the rest of the season with confidence.”

Ryan Flournoy (WR – DAL)
“Ryan Flournoy had a breakout game for the Cowboys last week, and I think it continues Sunday. The second-year receiver almost matched his career yardage against the Jets, catching six out of nine targets for 114 yards, with over 100 in the first half alone. Dak Prescott is seeing defenses keying on George Pickens in CeeDee Lamb‘s absence, and Flournoy should continue to be the benefactor.”

Duds
Which player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?
Drake London (WR – ATL)
“Drake London finally had a breakout in week 4 with 8/110/1 against the Commanders. That has moved him all the way up to WR4 in half-PPR rankings. London is a top-tier wide receiver, but that ranking could lead to disappointment for fantasy managers due to Michael Penix‘s inconsistency, and he is facing a Buffalo defense that is allowing only 154 yards per game. He should maintain a high target share; however, owners should lower expectations for London in Week 6, but get excited for some upcoming weeks against weaker defenses.”
