NFL Week 6: Start or Sit Advice for Xavier Worthy, Garrett Wilson, and More

Denver vs. Jets: Wilson vs. Sutton Confidence

• 🎯 Garrett Wilson is currently WR5 in PPR, while Courtland Sutton is WR10, but confidence is split.
• 🛡️ Jamie favors Sutton, citing Sauce Gardner's coverage on Wilson and Patrick Surtain's potential impact on Sutton.
• 📊 Studies show players targeted by Surtain receive about 90% of their usual targets but only 63% of their usual fantasy points.
• 📈 If Wilson scores two-thirds of his average 19 PPG, he'd still be a borderline WR2.
• 📉 Denver's pass defense has held top receivers like AJ Brown and Ja'Marr Chase to under 10 PPR points, while the Jets have similarly contained top receivers.

Key Player Rankings and Matchups

• 🌟 Courtland Sutton is generally ranked higher than Garrett Wilson for Week 6 by the analysts.
• 🏈 Analysts would start all three Chargers wide receivers (Allen, Johnston, and potentially Palmer) over Garrett Wilson.
• 🚀 Xavier Worthy is a start, ranked ahead of Garrett Wilson and slightly behind Courtland Sutton.
• 🏃 Travis Etienne Jr. (ETN) faces a Seattle defense that gives up receptions to RBs, but the opposing QBs (Cam Ward and Trevor Lawrence) have low RB target rates, making it a potential trap.
• 📈 Michael Carter is considered a low-end RB2 or flex play, with a better matchup than his previous week.
• 🌟 Zay Flowers is a low-end WR2 for the Ravens against the Rams.
• 📉 Derrick Henry is a player some analysts would prefer to sit, but would start over Michael Carter.
• 🎯 DK Metcalf is viewed as a WR2/WR3, potentially ranked slightly higher than Garrett Wilson.

Wide Receiver Rankings and Situations

• 📊 Tony Pollard is ranked ahead of Jacoby Meyers and Calvin Ridley, but concerns exist about RB matchups this week, especially with the Raiders' strong run defense.
• 🏈 The Titans average 18 RB carries per game, but a potential split with Spears makes Pollard's volume uncertain.
• 📈 Jamar Chase and T. Higgins are considered must-start options for the Bengals against Green Bay, though Higgins is viewed as a low-end WR2 by some.
• 📉 Jake Browning's pass attempts have varied, but a higher volume game (40 attempts) correlated with better fantasy production for Higgins.
• 🚀 Jauan Jennings returning would impact opportunities for Kendrick Bourne and potentially Tongas, making them less exciting starts.
• 🌟 DeAndre Swift faces a tough run defense, while Jahmyr Gibbs has a favorable matchup against one of the league's worst run defenses.

Quarterback and Tight End Considerations

• 🎯 Bryce Young is a desperation start against the Cowboys, with the hope of a high-scoring game.
• 🌟 Chris Olave is a start in PPR leagues, but not considered a must-start.
• ⚠️ Dalton Kincaid is a concern due to a non-contact jersey at practice, while Kyle Pitts has a consistent floor but faces a tough Buffalo defense.
• 📈 Pitts has averaged at least 7.7 PPR points in every game this season.
• 📊 Kincaid, even without touchdowns, would have scored 7.7+ PPR points in four of five games, catching 4-5 passes regularly.
