Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 6 WRs
Start: Tyler Lockett Fantasy Outlook vs. Cardinals
Much like his quarterback in the QB Fantasy Football Start/Sit this week, Tyler Lockett is producing on a consistent basis, which was always a knock on his production in the past. He has four straight weeks of WR2 production, with 19.7, 16.6, 13.1 and last week’s spike game of 27.4 fantasy points. With this consistency and his capability for big games, Lockett is emerging as an every-week WR2 rather than the inconsistent WR3 he was in prior seasons. Get him in your lineup this week.
Start: Jakobi Meyers Fantasy Outlook vs. Browns
Last week, in his first game back off of injury, Jakobi Meyers picked up where he left off to start the season as the number one WR on the New England Patriots. After receiving six targets and a carry in Week 1, Meyers had 13 targets in Week 2, which he turned into nine receptions for 95 yards, and followed that up with seven catches for 111 yards and a touchdown last week. The Cleveland Browns are around league average giving up 27.0 fantasy points per game fppg to opposing WRs, so get Meyers in your lineup this week.

Sit: JuJu Smith-Schuster Fantasy Outlook vs. Bills
Despite seeing eight targets in all but Week 2, where he only had three, JuJu Smith-Schuster has yet to finish higher than WR35 in any week. As demonstrated yet again last week, the alpha in this offense is Travis Kelce, and the WRs are simply not consistent weekly fantasy contributors. This game has the potential for a shootout, but even so, you can find a better WR2 than Smith Schuster. Leave him on the bench unless you are desperate at WR.
Sit: Drake London Fantasy Outlook vs. 49ers
After starting off the season with double-digit fantasy points in his first three games, Drake London has only put up 3.7 and 7.5 fantasy points in the last two weeks. He still is receiving a healthy amount of targets, with seven in each of these games, but the results haven’t followed. Last week, he left the game with a knee injury, but he is practicing this week. With a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers and his QB listed as a sit as well, London is a sit this week.
