Week 6 Wide Receiver Rankings Analysis
I am higher on Brandon Marshall than most. I really like Jay Cutler so it makes sense that I am expecting a huge rebound for Marshall as well. Emmanuel Sanders cracks my top 10 for the first time. He's on pace for 1,700+ yards, the touchdowns will come. My high ranking of the Arizona Cardinals comes with the expectation that Carson Palmer returns this week. If he doesn't, I expect Floyd and Fitzgerald to both fall quite a ways. I really like DeAndre Hopkins too. I expect Vontae Davis to cover Andre Johnson. DeAndre has consistently outperformed Andre this year, I see no reason why it changes now.
The Rams are allowing the fewest passing yards per game but I still like Crabtree a lot. I'm super high on Malcom Floyd, but he's been really good this year. He hasn't delivered a bad game outside of Seattle. His ceiling seems to be higher than anyone outside the top 20 right now. I like Reggie Wayne in PPR but in standard he just doesn't get a lot of looks in the red zone. It should also be a somewhat tough matchup so I'll be interested to see how he does.
I want to rank Sammy Watkins higher, I really do, but I'm expecting him to be shadowed by Revis this week. If I felt otherwise, he's probably top 30. It looks like Marvin Jones will miss this week's game along with the recently hurt A.J. Green. That means it's the Mohamed Sanu show in the passing game. It will be a tough challenge but the Panthers secondary is mediocre and often relies on the pressure of the defensive line to be successful. That hasn't been happening lately. Last time A.J. Green missed most of the game, Sanu had 84 yards and a touchdown. He'll be a sneaky flex play this week.
Good luck in Week 6 RotoBallers!
