Terrible Fantasy Football Advice: Week Six

It’s that time of the week again. Here is your fantasy football advice for week six.

Now Taylor Schloemer hasn’t helped you out up to this point I’m sure. I am in a league with Schloemer and in week four I beat him 121-51. On the down side, in our 10 team league, I was No. 2 going in to the week and lost to the No. 9 player. The one week he scores more than 80 points and I lose 115-93. Schloemer plays the same guy as I played this past week in this week’s matchup.

So we all know who I am rooting for in that matchup.

Speaking of this week’s games, the Vikings and Buccaneers are the only two teams with bye weeks. So unless you have Winston or Bradford as your only quarterback, you don’t need to worry about picking one up.

Quarterbacks

With the QBs you can go with big names such as Ryan, Big Ben or Brady.

But what about a sleeper picks?

Matthew Stafford is a lock this week. With an opposing defense in LA that has been anything less than stellar, look for Stafford to sling the ball in front of his home crowd.

Blake Bortles of Jacksonville should be in your starting lineup this week. The Jaguars travel to the Windy City to face a defense of the Bears that has not shown they can cover two very solid receivers in Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson. Look for Bortles to connect with his many targets to get you the points you need this week.

Derek Carr for the Raider; he has a similar situation as Bortles. Two great receivers in Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree that can find the end zone almost anytime they get the ball in their hands.

Running backs

DeMarco Murray. He has been nothing but consistent and with Tennessee playing Cleveland this week look for more solid play from Murray.

Carlos Hyde for San Francisco is also worth a look. Hyde has been a touchdown magnet finding the end zone four times in the last three games. With the way he’s playing, I don’t see any defense stopping him anytime soon.

Then there is Theo Riddick. This may come to surprise some, but hear me out. Again with Detroit going against LA, a solid offense, but not a great defense. Last week was Riddick’s best performance since week one. He found the end zone multiple times last week against a very able Eagles defense. Not only can Riddick run, but he can catch the ball out of the back field. Look for Riddick to keep up his solid play moving forward.

Receivers

A man who is on the waiver list or free agency for a lot of teams is Steelers wide out Sammie Coates. He broke out last week with a huge game hauling in six receptions for 139 yards and a score. With Antonio Brown being the main target in Pittsburgh, that can leave Coates open for man to man coverage.

Next guy on the list is old reliable, sure-handed Larry Fitzgerald. The man does not drop anything, just 25 drops in his career. He can run some of the cleanest routes I’ve seen. He’s not as fast as he used to be, but he finds ways to get open.

I have a strong feeling this week with Kelvin Benjamin. Benjamin has been  missing since week two. He is due to have a big game. With a secondary defense of New Orleans that is not great and the size and speed of Benjamin, it should be a big week for him even if Cam Newton is not back yet.

Now hopefully this will help you lead your team(s) to a win this week. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor. Schloemer will be back next week giving out more terrible advice.
