Week 6 ranks: QB | RB | WR | TE | K | Team D | Flex

Welcome to Week 6, fantasy fans! It’s the first week of the season with four teams on a bye: the Bengals, Dolphins, Lions and Vikings. That leaves fantasy managers without one of the top defenses in the fantasy leagues, the Vikings, and a viable streaming unit in Cincinnati.

This week’s rankings include some risers in the Chiefs and Patriots, and there are a few good streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! A number of team defenses also have seen their value fall, including the Houston Texans.

Here are my fantasy team defense rankings as we head into Week 6. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
