Fantasy Football Start/Sit: Tory Horton, Ja’Marr Chase

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?

Tory Horton (WR – SEA)

“While the floor is not great, Tory Horton has produced results through the first five games of his NFL career. Horton has three scores in his first five contests, something managers with potential bye week issues could be interested in. However, the downside with Horton is that he has not had a game with over 40 yards receiving thus far. Seattle may have to throw more this week against the Jaguars, making Horton an interesting dart throw in deeper leagues, even if it is very touchdown-or-bust.”

Duds

Which player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?

Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN)

“If you wanted to get out of the Ja’Marr Chase business, Week 5’s splash game gives you a chance. No matter who takes the quarterback snaps this week, Cincinnati is likely to get thumped by a rested Green Bay team and defense.”
