Week 6 brings a new set of decisions for fantasy managers as the NFL season continues to take shape. With five weeks of games behind us, recent performances, changing workloads and team tendencies are providing a clearer picture of what to expect moving forward.

The Bengals, Lions, Dolphins and Vikings are all on bye this week, leaving several fantasy managers without key starters. Injuries and shifting depth charts are also creating opportunities for players who may not have been on the radar a few weeks ago. Making the most of those options could be important this weekend.

Brian Shade’s Week 6 projections factor in the latest developments, player usage and upcoming matchups to help you evaluate your roster. From finding a replacement starter to making a close lineup call, use these updated numbers to prepare for another week of fantasy football.
