Oct. 11 (UPI) -- DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, Amari Cooper and Tyler Boyd top my Week 6 fantasy football wide receiver rankings for 2019.
Chris Godwin, Keenan Allen, Cooper Kupp, Will Fuller and Larry Fitzgerald round out my top 10 options for Week 6.
If you don't have an elite option, there are plenty of capable pass catchers with great Week 6 matchups. Be sure to check out your waiver wire and free agency if you are in need of a new player at the position.
You should target players who have a good chance to score a touchdown and get a lot of looks from their respective quarterbacks, when considering who to start at wide receiver.
You also should remove Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts and Oakland Raiders players from your lineup, as those teams have Week 6 byes.
Here are some of my favorite players in this week's rankings:
TOP SHELF
Cincinnati Bengals star Tyler Boyd is my No. 5 wide receiver for Week 6. Boyd went off for a season-high 123 yards and a score on 10 catches in Week 5. This week he faces the Baltimore Ravens, one of three NFL defenses that has allowed more than 1,000 yards to wide receivers in 2019. I expect another big game from Boyd here. He is a WR1 for me this week.
SNEAKY PLAYS
Larry Fitzgerald is my No. 10 wide receiver this week. The veteran pass catcher started the season hot, putting together back-to-back games with more than 100 receiving yards. He has at least five receptions in every game. This week he battles an Atlanta Falcons secondary that has allowed the most touchdowns (10) and fantasy points to wide receivers. Kyler Murray might have his biggest game of the season this week, with Fitzgerald benefiting most.
If you have Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs on your roster, you have likely had to keep him in your lineup. Diggs is off to a slow start but I can see a great game from the speedy pass catcher against the Philadelphia Eagles. Diggs is a WR2 for me this week and my No. 12 option at the position. The Eagles have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. If Diggs can't succeed in this matchup, you should start worrying.
LONGSHOTS
Washington Redskins rookie Terry McLaurin is my No. 25 option this week. McLaurin scored in each of his first three games of the season, before missing Week 4 due to injury. He returned in Week 5 to post three catches for 51 yards against a tough New England Patriots defense. This week he battles the Miami Dolphins, a unit allowing the 10th most fantasy points to wide receivers. McLaurin has a WR1 ceiling in this matchup, but is safe bet for WR2 production.
The Miami Dolphins definitely don't have a high-octane offense, but the matchup against the Washington Redskins is too hard to ignore. Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams is my No. 33 option for Week 6, landing in WR3 territory. Williams is definitely a dart-throw option, but I think he is worth the risk, especially if you are in need of a bye week fill-in option.
