Key Points:
- Four NFL teams are on bye in Week 6, significantly impacting Fantasy football lineups and creating challenging start-sit decisions for managers.
- Key injuries affecting Week 6 include quarterbacks Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Jalen Hurts (blood clot) sidelined, while Caleb Williams is questionable but expected to play; several skill position players are also questionable.
- SportsLine's proven computer model, which simulates each NFL game 10,000 times, has released its Week 6 Fantasy football rankings, known for outperforming human experts and identifying breakout players early.
- Notably, the model advises against starting Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins this week due to declining performance and a tough matchup against Buffalo, ranking him outside the top 15 QBs.
- Conversely, the model highlights Colts wide receiver Josh Downs as a top-20 Fantasy WR for Week 6, citing his strong recent performances and favorable matchup against the winless Titans.
