WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 6

Welcome to Week 6 of the WR/CB Matchups article. For those who are not familiar, this is a weekly series looking at fantasy football matchups for wide receivers versus the cornerbacks who are projected to cover them. Creating the weekly matchup chart has been more challenging than usual this year due to the fact that […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Week 6

As the injuries keep piling up amidst the arrival of bye weeks, building and maintaining quality roster depth is critical to staying competitive in fantasy leagues. Week 6 has Atlanta, New Orleans, San Francisco, and the New York Jets on bye, while star players like Christian McCaffery and Nick Chubb have already been ruled out […]

Fantasy Football Injury Report - Week 6 Injuries Dashboard

  Fantasy Football Injuries Dashboard - Week 6 Injury Updates Anyone who has even the slightest experience with fantasy football is well aware of how impactful injuries can be. In both season-long leagues and in daily fantasy contests, players getting injured is a very significant part of the game. It makes sense, then, to be […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

Fantasy football waiver wires will have fewer players that can help you this week. There will be no Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers or New Orleans Saints mentioned in this week’s column. That’s because fantasy football managers will have to deal with their first round of NFL teams being on their bye […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The first week of byes are upon us and while bye weeks are not the hardship for kickers as opposed to other positions, decisions still need to be made. Luckily, fantasy managers will not need to make any decisions this week with the Falcons, Jets, 49ers and Saints on bye. The Bengals vs Packers game […]

Nelson Agholor Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Agholor has been a fantasy flop since signing with Bill Belichick’s squad. After coming off the best year of his career in 2020 (48-896-8) and a good game in Week 1, Agholor has given his fantasy managers 11 receptions for 125 yards and no touchdowns over his last four games. This is the Agholor fantasy […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

I know his name is a mouthful, but it might be worth mentioning Stevenson’s name to the commissioner of your fantasy league if you have Harris on your roster and he ducks out on you before the Pats play Sunday afternoon. Brandon Bolden has taken over the James White role on third downs as the primary pass-catcher out of […]

Jonnu Smith - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith hasn't been able to make much of an impact with his new team. Through five games, Smith has 15 receptions for 115 yards and one touchdown. Smith has failed to surpass 28 yards in each of the last four games, which is certainly frustrating considering the amount of […]

Hunter Henry - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has scored a touchdown in each of the last two games. He appears to be finally getting into a groove after a slow start to the season. Now, he'll get a matchup against a Dallas Cowboys defense that has struggled to contain tight ends. This could be a […]

Kendrick Bourne - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has done his job whenever he is called upon. Sadly for him, the Patriots have a handful of other options and don't look his way often. Last week, Bourne hauled in all three of his targets for 26 yards in the win. He usually makes the play when […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has not scored a touchdown this season, which continues to hinder his value. Despite that, he has been able to hold his own because he appears to be rookie Mac Jones favorite target. Meyers has seen double digit targets twice in five games this season. He might see […]

Nelson Agholor - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor hasn't been able to make much noise since the season opener. In fact, he has three receptions or less in every game since Week 1. That's unlikely to change against a Cowboys defense that ranks ninth in pass DVOA so far in 2021. The Patriots brought in Agholor […]

Rhamondre Stevenson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson finally was able to get into some action last week. Coming into Week 5, Stevenson had one carry on the season, but that changed versus Texans. Sadly, there wasn't much success as Stevenson carried the ball 11 times for 23 yards in the win. Lead back Damien Harris […]

Brandon Bolden - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden could be in line for a bigger workload heading into the Week 6 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Lead back Damien Harris (ribs) is questionable to suit up in this game. That means, Bolden and a committee of others could see increased roles. Last week, Bolden rushed the […]

Mac Jones - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has failed to impress over the first five games of the season. He has posted one multi-touchdown game, but has only surpassed the 280-yard mark once through five contests. The rookie quarterback will now head into a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys defense. Normally, the Cowboys defense wouldn't […]

Damien Harris Questionable To Face Cowboys

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) is listed as questionable to play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6 after finishing the week with two limited practices. J.J. Taylor (groin), who was inactive in Week 5 after losing a costly fumble in Week 4, was added to the injury report after a limited […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Coming off my worst week of the season, getting only five of the top-10 defenses right, I spent a lot of Monday thinking about what I had missed. How did New England fail against Houston? What did the Lions do to get into the top-10 against a strong Minnesota offense? As I was racking my […]

Damien Harris Back At Practice

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. The Patriots announced that Harris' injury wasn't serious on Monday, so it's not a huge surprise that he's on track to play in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. But even if the 24-year-old plays this […]

Coaches on the Hot Seat - Fantasy Implications

The first NFL head coach who didn't make it through the 2021 season was Jon Gruden, although not at all for reasons anyone would have anticipated (except Keyshawn Johnson). The Gruden story alludes to a larger problem within the league and society as a whole but this piece isn't meant to serve as a platform […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals For Week 6

Analyzing the trends every week will keep fantasy managers up to date on which players are on the rise or which ones are falling off. The clues can be subtle, but all it takes is a few good games before a player becomes one of the hottest commodities in fantasy. The same could be said […]

Damien Harris Misses Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) did not participate in the team's Wednesday practice after getting injured in the Week 5 win over the Houston Texans. It was reported on Monday that Harris avoided a serious injury last weekend, so he has a chance to return to practice later this week and play […]

Hunter Henry (TE, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's start in reverse order. Jonnu Smith has played more than 50% of the Patriots' offensive snaps in just two games this season, including last Sunday's, though he only got 5+ targets in one of those and this last weekend those dropped […]

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson saw a season-high 11 rushing attempts in the team's Week 5 victory over the Houston Texans. Unfortunately, he didn't do much with them, rushing for just 23 yards, good for 2.1 yards per carry. […]

Offensive Outliers From Week 5 - Coaching Matters

We now enter the fifth week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 5, we saw stat lines such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wide receivers combining for 349 receiving yards, the San Francisco 49ers' tight ends combining […]
