QB that needs to be in your lineup in Week 6:Aaron Rodgers James Hurst Jersey , Green Bay Packers:Matchup: vs. 49ersWeek 5 Stats: 442 Passing YDS, 3 Passing TD, 2 Fumbles, 28.7 PTSDespite a poor outcome on the scoreboard as a result of missed field goals and an extra point attempt, A-Rob did everything in his power to propel his squad to victory last week in the Motor City. He told the media after the game that he was dealing with a little bit of new soreness but he should be ready to go on Monday Night football against San Fran. Hopefully he gets Geronimo Allison and Randall Cobb back, if not, I'm expecting another big game for Davante Adams and Jimmy Graham.Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesQB I like in Week 6
am Newton, Carolina Panthers:Matchup: @ RedskinsWeek 5 Stats: 237 Passing YDS, 2 Passing TD, 2 INT, 29 Rushing YDS, 16.4 PTSWhen Cam Newton arrives in the nation’s capital this weekend, the Redskins’ defense will get a shiver down their spine. After getting ravaged by the Saints on Monday Night Football, it appears Jay Gruden is losing the locker room and the entire organization is in disarray. Look for Newton to take advantage of the ‘Skins woes and have a terrific performance, especially with his favorite target, Greg Olsen, back in the mix.Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesQB I am hesitant about in Week 6:Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns:Matchup: vs. ChargersWeek 5 Stats: 342 Passing YDS, 1 Passing TD, 1 INT, 23 Rushing YDS, 18 PTSAfter this weekend, I love Baker Mayfield’s next four matchups - Tampa, Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Atlanta. But this week is against the Chargers, even without Joey Bosa, their defense has still been better than most. I may roll the dice on the Heisman trophy winner with the lack of solid options on the waiver wire after seeing him pick apart the Ravens in the victory last Sunday, but I’m not expecting anything out of the ordinary.Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesQB that I am avoiding in Week 6:Alex Smith, Washington Redskins:Matchup: vs. PanthersWeek 5 Stats: 275 Passing YDS, 1 INT, 1 Fumble, 7 Rushing YDS, 1 Rushing TD, 13.7 PTSWhat can I say. I wasn't mad at the performance by the Redskins’ offense on Monday Night Football, because I have been become so accustomed to them constantly letting me down. The play calling is horrific, their schemes are more than predictable, and they don't utilize their weapons to the best of their abilities. Alex Smith hasn't shown me anything so far that I didn't see from Kirk Cousins over the past couple years, and boy have I been critical of the latter. They made the Saints’ defense look like the ‘85 Bears. A real defense is rolling into FedEx Field this weekend, and they are going to terrorize the former number one pick.Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesRB that needs to be in your lineup in Week 6:James Conner, Pittsburgh Steelers:Matchup: @ BengalsWeek 5 Stats: 110 Rushing YDS, 2 Rushing TD Authentic Marlon Humphrey Jersey , 4 Receptions, 75 Receiving YDS, 34.5 PTSAfter the reports that Le’Veon Bell will be returning after the bye week, this gives James Conner one more platform to try and keep and keep a major role in this dynamic offense. Personally I’m hoping that Bell doesn't return. For one reason, I have Conner and I love what he’s been doing for me. He’s a reliable RB1 and that offense is a juggernaut. But aside from the fantasy perspective, I honestly cannot foresee Bell returning to Pittsburgh after the bye week. He saw up close and in person what can happen to a star player who gets on the field with no long-term contract guarantee after seeing Seahawks’ standout free safety Earl Thomas break his leg just weeks ago, and if Bell is true to his word about wanting financial stability, he needs to request a trade, or continue to sit out.Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty ImagesRB I like in Week 6:Sony Michel, New England Patriots:Matchup: vs. ChiefsWeek 5 Stats: 98 Rushing YDS, 1 Rushing TD, 1 Reception, 12 Receiving YDS, 18 PTSThe Patriots wideouts have been a disaster so far in 2018, Chris Hogan has been a bust in PPR, Julian Edelman missed four games, Josh Gordon is slowly getting acclimated to the new offense, and Rob Gronkowski has only put up two good outings. The running backs on the other hand, have been stellar. James White has been as good as any running back in the NFL on the receiving end, and first round pick Sony Michel has been the talk of New England as one of the potential steals of the draft. The two-headed monster up in Foxboro should wreak havoc on the Chiefs defense on Sunday Night Football.Photo by Adam Glanzman/Getty ImagesRB I am hesitant about in Week 6

The offense is a mess, and Johnson is the only semi-reliable contributor. A tough matchup this weekend agains the stout Vikings defense should provide some cause for concern, but you will still be starting him.Photo by Thearon W.

The Titans offense has been absolutely abysmal, and they somehow managed to lose their contest last week to Buffalo. With a matchup this weekend against a surreal Ravens defensive unit, I’m not rolling the dice on Lewis. He has been a major disappointment.Photo by Silas Walker/Getty ImagesWR that needs to be in your lineup in Week 6:Robert Woods, Los Angeles Rams:Matchup: @ BroncosWeek 5 Stats: 5 Receptions, 92 Receiving YDS, 53 Rushing YDS, 19.5 PTSAs of Wednesday evening, Robert Woods is the only Rams starting wide receiver not in concussion protocol.

With Tre’Davious White most likely shadowing Hopkins, this matchup sets up a potent opportunity for the first-year receiver from Texas Tech.Photo by Bob Levey/Getty ImagesWR I am hesitant about in Week 5:Alshon Jeffery, Philadelphia Eagles:Matchup: @ GiantsWeek 5 Stats: 2 Receptions, 39 YDS, 5.9 PTSAfter exploding back onto the scene in Week 4, Alshon Jeffery showed his rust last week against the Vikings while being exclusively shadowed by Xavier Rhodes. This week he has a bit of an easier matchup with Janoris Jenkins. He’s still a low-end WR2/flex in my book this weekend, but expectations are definitely lessened.Photo by Corey Perrine/Getty ImagesWR that I am avoiding in Week 6:Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers:Matchup: @ BrownsWeek 5 Stats: 8 Receptions, 90 YDS, 17.5 PTSIt’s been an up-and-down season for Keenan Allen. With a matchup against rookie standout Denzel Ward on Sunday, I’m expecting a heavy run-oriented offense and minimal targets on the outside for the Chargers’ star wideout. He’s currently ranked WR25, and this week I’m extremely cautious about his output.Photo by Sean M.

This week the former first round pick will again be Andrew Luck’s top target as both Jack Doyle and T.Y. Hilton are expected to be inactive yet again.Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesTE I am hesitant about in Week 6:Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers:Matchup: @ RedskinsGreg Olsen is scheduled to make his return to the Carolina offense this weekend in D.C. after deciding not to undergo foot surgery after a setback in the season opener. The Redskins defense is a mess and could set up a big day for Olsen as he sheds some rust, but their is a major possibility of a setback if he pivots his foot in the wrong direction or gets hit the wrong way that would absolutely end his afternoon and potentially his season. Be very cautious. He needs to rostered in all leagues as a trade chip and a potential starter for the back-end of the season as well as a bye week fill-in, but I’m still very nervous about him returning to the action.Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesTE that I am avoiding in Week 6:Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins:Matchup: vs. PanthersWeek 5 Stats: 1 Reception, 21 YDS, 3.1 PTSJordan Reed no-longer seems to be the focal point of Jay Gruden’s aerial attack. On Monday Night Football against the Saints, it almost appears that the Redskins’ top brass would rather keep Reed healthy and unused on the turf over being a major factor and constantly missing time with his low durability. Unless there are rapid changes to the schemes, all players on the Redskins offense will be completely useless in PPR.Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesThursday Night Football Starts & Sits: Philadelphia Eagles (2-3) vs. New York Giants (1-4)Eaglesarson Wentz: Start Corey Clement: Flex Wendell Smallwood: Flex Alshon Jeffery: FlexNelson Agholor: Sit Zach Ertz: StartEagles D/ST: StartJake Elliott: SitGiants:Eli Manning: Sit Saquon Barkley: Start Odell Beckham Jr.: StartSterling Shepard: FlexRhett Ellison: SitGiants D/ST: StartAldrick Rosas: SitState of the AFC North: Week 2 The Bengals held off a Ravens comeback attempt on Thursday night, improving their record to 2-0. In two consecutive weeks, Cincinnati has outscored their opponent 34-23 and they currently possess first place in the division. After tying each other last week, the Steelers and Browns both lost this weekend. At 0-1-1, they round out of the bottom of the division, while the Ravens sit at second place with a 1-1 record. Bengals defeat Ravens: 34-23 A.J. Green & Andy Dalton’s big first half The Bengals got off to a quick start on Thursday night, taking advantage of a Ravens defense that was uncharacteristically shaky. Without C.J. Mosley and Jimmy Smith, Baltimore had no answer for Andy Dalton and A.J. Green. Cincinnati jumped out to a 21-0 advantage in the first 17 minutes of the game, courtesy of three A.J. Green touchdown receptions. He beat Tavon Young twice out of the slot and scored on Marlon Humphrey in the end zone. Dalton was firing on all cylinders in the first half, throwing four touchdowns. Both he and Green cooled off in the second half http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/aut...-iv-jersey , but the damage was already done. Dalton threw for 265 passing yards on the night with no interceptions, good for a rating of 107.7. Joe Mixon Injured Mixon, the Bengals leading rusher, has gotten off to a strong start this season. While the Ravens did a decent job of containing him throughout the night, Mixon finished with 84 rushing yards on 21 attempts. He appeared to injure his knee in the first half and was taken to sideline. While Mixon was clearly in pain, he eventually came back into the game. It may not have been the best decision as his injury required arthroscopic surgery on Saturday. Mixon will be sidelined for roughly 2-4 weeks, a significant loss for the Bengals. Giovani Bernard will take over the starting running back duties. While Bernard is a serviceable rusher, he is best suited as a pass-catcher and situational back. Flacco’s struggles against Bengals continue After lighting up the Buffalo Bills defense in the season opener, Flacco failed to repeat such performance in Week 2. Cincinnati has not been to kind to Flacco in recent years, and Thursday night was no exception. He was ultimately not helped by the offensive line, but Flacco played poorly. He made several bad decisions and consistently misfired throughout the game. Flacco badly overthrew Michael Crabtree for an interception early in the first quarter. Flacco’s second interception was not exactly his fault, but there were several over throws that could have easily been intercepted as well. He finished with 376 passing yards and two touchdowns, but there was far more bad than good for Flacco. Ravens feel C.J. Mosley’s absence Baltimore’s All-Pro linebacker was carted off the field in the first quarter after suffering a non-contact knee injury. Without Mosley roaming the middle of the field, the Ravens defense struggled. It appeared Mosley may have torn his ACL, but luckily it was only a bone bruise and Mosley suffered no ligament damage. Mosley may be ready to roll against the Broncos in Week 3, but it is more likely that he misses at least one week.Look for Kenny Young, a fourth-round pick out of UCLA, to step up in his absence. Young was arguably the Ravens most impressive defensive player against the Bengals. He made several impact plays and showcased sideline-to-sideline speed. Young was also a preseason standout. Chiefs defeat Steelers: 42-37 Comeback attempt falls short Like the Ravens, the Steelers found themselves down 21-0 in the first half. However, they used a big second quarter to flip the script and tie the game entering halftime. Ben Roethlisberger bounced back nicely after a dismal Week 1, throwing for 452 yards and three touchdowns on a whopping 60 pass attempts. The Steelers were forced to abandon the run after falling down early. Ultimately, Pittsburgh had no answers for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense. Mahomes carved up the Steelers defense all game, completing 23/28 of his passes for 326 yards and six touchdowns. JuJu Smith-Schuster continues to ascend Many Ravens fans wanted Baltimore to select JuJu Smith-Schuster in the 2017 draft, and it is easy to see why. After an impressive rookie season, Smith-Schuster is off to a hot start in his sophomore campaign. It’s Smith-Schuster, not Antonio Brown, whose been the best Steelers receiver. In Week 1, JuJu caught five passes for 119 yards. Against the Chiefs, he was nothing short of phenomenal. Smith-Schuster corralled 13 of his 19 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown. Through two weeks, Smith-Schuster has caught 18 passes for 240 yards. He looks well on his way to topping his rookie year numbers and could very well finish as one of the leading receivers in the league. Saints defeat Browns: 21-18 Crushing defeat for ClevelandFor the second consecutive week, the Browns hung tough with a playoff team. They tied with the Steelers in the season opener and nearly forced overtime again in Week 2. In fact, you could argue they should have beaten the Saints on Sunday. For three quarters, the Browns defense kept Drew Brees and company out of the end zone. Cleveland held a 12-3 advantage entering for the fourth quarter and looked to be on their way to the team’s first victory since 2016. The Browns defense has shown signs of being legit. However, they were unable to prevent a New Orleans comeback. The Saints scored 18 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, highlighted by two Michael Thomas touchdown receptions. Browns need a new kicker Kicking woes were the biggest factor in the Browns loss. Second-year kicker Zane Gonzalez put up the ultimate dud against the Saints and cost the Browns any chance of winning. Tyrod Taylor hooked up with Antonio Callaway for 47-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 18. With a chance to give the Browns a one-point lead with just over a minute left, Gonzalez missed the extra point attempt. He had a chance to redeem himself and send the game into overtime, but Gonzalez missed a 52-yard attempt with eight seconds left. Needless to say, the Browns will be looking for a new kicker. Dan Bailey, who was recently released by the Cowboys, should be getting a phone call in the next few days.
