Quarterback UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Rankings and analysis by Brant Henson
Adrian Martinez and A.J. McCarron once again headlined quarterback performances in Week 6. This week, the two will go head-to-head in what should be the game of the season between the league's top two teams. Both quarterbacks are elite fantasy options in a game that should produce offensive fireworks.
| Rank | Player Name | Team |
| 1 | Adrian Martinez | Birmingham Stallions |
| 2 | A.J. McCarron | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 3 | Danny Etling | Michigan Panthers |
| 4 | Luis Perez | Arlington Renegades |
| 5 | Case Cookus | Memphis Showboats |
| 6 | Jordan Ta'amu | DC Defenders |
| 7 | Reid Sinnett | Houston Roughnecks |
| 8 | Quinten Dormady | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 9 | Matt Corral | Birmingham Stallions |
While typically dominating on the ground, Adrian Martinez put on a passing clinic in Week 6 as he completed 23-of-35 passes for 369 yards and four touchdowns. His 33.26 fantasy points made anybody who started him happy. While the threat of Matt Corral is always imminent with Martinez, there is no reason to believe Birmingham would not roll him out in a pivotal Week 7 matchup. He ranks as our QB1 this week with St. Louis' A.J. McCarron (20.6 Week 5 fantasy points) not far behind.
Danny Etling led an impressive comeback filling in for the injured E.J. Perry. Monitor Perry's status throughout the week, but whichever Michigan quarterback is under center is in a good spot this week against a porous DC passing defense.
Arlington and Memphis have zero combined wins since Week 2, and a large part of the failures are each team's respective defenses. Memphis gives up the most passing yards by far (245.0 per game), creating a dream matchup for Arlington quarterback Luis Perez as the Renegades search for their first win of the season.

Wide Receiver UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Rankings and analysis by Brant Henson
Amid the Week 5 blowouts, several receivers had strong fantasy showings. Hakeem Butler (32.7 fantasy points), JaVonta Payton (24.9 fantasy points), and Daewood Davis (22.6 fantasy points) each had over 100 yards and at least one touchdown. With Week 6's matchups looking similar on paper to those of Week 5, here are how our rankings shape up:
| Rank | Player Name | Team |
| 1 | Hakeem Butler | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 2 | Jahcour Pearson | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 3 | Kelvin Harmon | DC Defenders |
| 4 | Marcus Simms | Michigan Panthers |
| 5 | Jontre Kirklin | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 6 | Daewood Davis | Memphis Showboats |
| 7 | Deon Cain | Birmingham Stallions |
| 8 | Justin Hall | Houston Roughnecks |
| 9 | JaVonta Payton | Arlington Renegades |
| 10 | Marlon Williams | Birmingham Stallions |
| 11 | Tyler Vaughns | Arlington Renegades |
| 12 | Marquez Stevenson | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 13 | Deontay Burnett | Arlington Renegades |
| 14 | Vinny Papale | Memphis Showboats |
| 15 | Cyril Grayson | Houston Roughnecks |
| 16 | Marcell Ateman | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 17 | Siaosi Mariner | Michigan Panthers |
| 18 | Jonathan Adams | Memphis Showboats |
| 19 | Kevin Austin Jr. | Birmingham Stallions |
| 20 | Amari Rodgers | Birmingham Stallions |
| 21 | Chris Rowland | DC Defenders |
| 22 | Justin Smith | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 23 | Ty Scott | DC Defenders |
| 24 | Steven Mitchell Jr. | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 25 | Keke Coutee | DC Defenders |
| 26 | Keke Chism | Houston Roughnecks |
| 27 | Darrius Shepherd | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 28 | Trey Quinn | Michigan Panthers |
| 29 | Blake Jackson | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 30 | Binjimen Victor | Birmingham Stallions |
| 31 | Isaiah Winstead | Arlington Renegades |
| 32 | Brandon Smith | DC Defenders |
| 33 | Emmanuel Butler | Houston Roughnecks |
| 34 | Samson Nacua | Michigan Panthers |
| 35 | Anthony Ratliff-Williams | Houston Roughnecks |
Hakeem Butler now has 12 catches for 281 yards and four touchdowns over just the last two weeks after a slow start to the 2024 UFL campaign. With Jahcour Pearson returning and commanding coverage on the inside, Butler has been able to open up his game on the outside which has fared amazingly for his fantasy production. Both Butler and Pearson are priority starts for this week's juicy matchup with Birmingham. On the other side of the field, keep an eye on Deon Cain. He only had two receptions for 45 yards, but still had an 18% target share and remains the top receiver for Adrian Martinez.
We teased it in this article last week, and the Kelvin Harmon breakout came in full force in Week 6. Harmon had a whopping 60% (!) target share, grabbing eight catches for 101 yards and a score. He has a safe floor and an immensely high ceiling this week against the Michigan Panthers.
JaVonta Payton has had a productive last two weeks, as he has averaged 19.1 fantasy points per game. He is emerging as a playmaker for Arlington just as he did down the championship stretch a season ago and has an exploitable matchup this week against the league's last-ranked passing defense. Tyler Vaughns and Deontay Burnett are also worth looking into as safe floor plays.
Tight End UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Rankings and analysis by Andrew Lennox
There are only a few small changes in this week's tight-end rankings, but Jace Sternbergre, Sal Cannella, Cody Latimer, and Sage Surratt remain in the top four positions as they have for the majority of the season.
| Rank | Player Name | Team |
| 1 | Jace Sternberger | Birmingham Stallions |
| 2 | Sal Cannella | Arlington Renegades |
| 3 | Cody Latimer | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 4 | Sage Surratt | Memphis Showboats |
| 5 | Alex Ellis | D.C. Defenders |
| 6 | Cole Hikutini | Michigan Panthers |
| 7 | Seth Green | Arlington Renegades |
| 8 | Gunnar Oakes | Michigan Panthers |
| 9 | Kaden Smith | D.C. Defenders |
| 10 | Alize Mack | San Antonio Brahmas |
The Stallions are the top rushing team in the league, but Jace Sternberger continues to find ways to make his mark in the team's passing game. He collected two passes on four targets for 46 yards and a touchdown. Sternberger will become a huge fantasy factor if he continues to score touchdowns, as he only has two this season.
Arlington's Sal Cannella remains a top passing option in Luis Pérez's passing game, catching six of eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old ranks among the top 20 most productive receivers in the UFL with 216 receiving yards and he is a great fantasy option despite his team still searching for their first win.
