Here are our updated Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings and top streaming options. We have a ton of great matchups for defensive and special teams. Check your waiver wires, last week, you showed us how they can pay off in a big way. Every week it is the same formula. You need to target bad defenses, bad Quarterbacks, and it does help if it is a good defense. The tight-end position is tough, but we have enough information to know who to play and against who. Here are my updated Week 6 positional and flex Fantasy Football rankings.

Updated Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top Streaming Options
When updating my week 6 fantasy football rankings, I will be looking at teams to target at each position. The top defenses to target for the quarterback position are the following: 1. Jacksonville Jaguars 2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3. Indianapolis Colts 4. Cincinnati Bengals 5. Baltimore Ravens. Teams that have given up the most points to the Tight End position are the following: 1. Los Angeles Rams 2. Kansas City Chiefs 3. Indianapolis Colts 4. Cincinnati Bengals 5. Minnesota Vikings 6. Carolina Panthers. Here are my favorite streaming options for week 6 of the NFL season.
QB, Caleb Williams – Chicago Bears vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (32nd)
We have seen big improvements from Caleb Williams and this Chicago Bears offense over the last two weeks. The Chicago Bears have won two games in a row and Williams has completed over 70% of his passes in the last three weeks. Caleb Williams had thrown for 300 or more passing yards in two of the last three games. He is rushing the ball with 5 rushes in four out of five games for 113 yards (5.1/ypc). Jacksonville is THE team to target for streaming each week, giving up 23.2 points per game.
QB, Kirk Cousins – Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers (30th)
Kirk Cousins has been on fire ever since that 4th Quarterback Comeback against Philadelphia. Last week he threw four touchdowns and somehow he is under 50% rostered. We finally saw some life out of Kyle Pitts last week too! Drake London has been having a career year, but Darnell Mooney has been the big surprise. NBA Jam rules apply here, Darnell Mooney is on fire after three great weeks in a row. Mooney is the WR6 since Week 2 and Cousins QB9.
QB, Daniel Jones – New York Giants vs. Cincinnati Bengals (28th)
Daniel Jones is another player that has looked much better since Week 1. Jones is QB13 over the last three and gets a positive matchup. We have seen the Bengals involved in a lot of shootouts recently. They have given up the 4th most points to the fantasy football Quarterback position. Another positive note is that the Giants are hopeful to get Malik Nabers back this week. This Giants offense has been running the ball really well and Jones has been a part of that.
TE, Tyler Conklin – New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills (14th)
Tyler Conklin has been getting great usage based on every major category. Last week we saw both Baltimore Ravens Tight Ends ball out against the Buffalo Bills. Conklin is third among the pass catchers in targets and snaps. Conklin has been a bit inconsistent and that is why he may be available in your leagues. If your Tight End is on bye or injured, Conklin is an option that you should target.
TE, Cade Otton – Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints (23rd)
Cade Otton is by far the third piece of this passing attack. He is only behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in all major categories including Snaps, Routes, Targets, and Air Yards. The Saints are one of the top 10 teams to target for tight ends right now. Otton has not caught a touchdown yet this year, this will be the week.
TE, Cole Kmet – Chicago Bears vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (19th)
Cole Kmet is going to be an up-and-down player because of all of the options in Chicago. This is a week that I am comfortable because of the matchup. This could quietly be a shootout and the Bears offense will be able to move the ball. Kmet has at least three receptions over the last 4 weeks. We saw the upside in Week 3 where he had 11 targets and 10 receptions for 97 yards with a touchdown.
D/ST – Philadelphia Eagles vs. Cleveland Browns (31st)
The Eagles are going to be one of my top options in my updated Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings. The Cleveland Browns have been a terrific defense to target. Deshaun Watson is playing terribly and the offensive line can’t block him. Maybe they just don’t want to block him. They have given up 26 sacks already this season. Watson has been a turnover machine with three interceptions and five fumbles this season.
D/ST – Houston Texans at New England Patriots (28th)
The New England Patriots are one of those teams to target each week. This week Drake Maye gets his first career start and DeMeco Ryans will do everything he can to ruin it. Look for this Texans defensive front to have a field day against this poor Patriots offensive line.
D/ST – Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints (15th)
The Saints have not been a team to target this year, but this week they start Rookie Spencer Rattler. There is some optimism around the Rookie, but this is a 5th Round pick. Tampa has an opportunistic defense that would love to get Antoine Winfield Jr. back this week.
