The fifth week of the NFL season has come and gone, and we’ve already entered the bye weeks. The good news is that only two teams, the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings, are off the board. There is also another international game, as the Denver Broncos face the New York Jets in London (9:30 a.m. ET).

The Week 6 WR rankings will continue to be without high-end wide receivers like CeeDee Lamb and Mike Evans. We’re also seeing former studs like A.J. Brown and Brian Thomas Jr. fall on hard times, while rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tetairoa McMillan have moved into the WR1 conversation ahead of this weekend.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football wide receiver rankings for the sixth week of the NFL season.

All Positions: QBs | RBs | TEs | FLEX | DEFs | Ks
