Startem sitem 2016 week 6 SUNDAY

By Brad Kruse

Carson Wentz QB PHI WAS SIT
Wentz has outperformed most projections for him. He's turned in 3 out of 4 startable weeks. Washington, however, has held their last three opposing QBs below 20 points. Washington is also terrible against the run which is an Eagle's strength. I suspect Wentz's usage may be too low to make him likely to achieve startable numbers in week 6.

Ryan Mathews RB PHI WAS START
Mathews' usage in the early weeks has been troubling. He bounced back with a lead role in week 5, but he was still out-snapped by Sproles. The good thing was neither Barner nor Smallwood received much action. Mathews' playing close to half the game and getting goal line action is good enough to recommend him for a start in week 6.

Matt Jones RB WAS PHI SIT
Philadelphia is ranked number 2 against the fantasy running backs. Jones has struggled against strong run defenses, I'd sit him in week 6.

Willie Snead WR NO CAR START
With Drew Brees at home, you want to start your more marginal players. Carolina's defensive backfield is looking suspect. I'm willing to risk starting secondary targets on the Saints team at home

Michael Thomas WR NO CAR START
With Drew Brees at home, you want to start your more marginal players. Carolina's defensive backfield is looking suspect. I'm willing to risk starting secondary targets on the Saints team at home

Jordan Howard RB CHI JAC START
Continue to ride Howard while he's hot. After this week, he gets Green Bay and Minnesota. Cash in on this rookie while you can.

Kenny Britt WR LAR DET START
Detroit is 24th against the opposing WR. Britt is one of the more consistent plays in this offense. He's had 4 of 5 games in double digits but, only 2 with 12.5 or more. I like the opportunity against Detroit's below average defense.

James White RB NE CIN START
With Brady back on the team, I think he can support five targets. James White was involved last week as we was down the stretch last year. Roll with him as long as he has the pass catching role in this offense.

Chris Hogan WR NE CIN START
With Brady back on the team, I think he can support five targets. Chris Hogan missed a chunk of last week's game while he was being evaluated for a concussion. However, he is one of the two starting WRs; he did surpass 100 yards last week. Hogan should get enough opportunity to bank startable numbers in week 6.

Jeremy Hill RB CIN NE SIT
Hill missed much of last week with an injury. The likely game script vs NE would look to present itself as a game better fit for Bernard. I'd bench Hill in week 6 if you have other options.
