**Updated 10/15**
Teams on Bye: Bills, Bengals, Cowboys, Seahawks
Many fantasy owners are scrambling this week, after the injuries to the Giants receivers and four more teams on bye. If you’re the one in a panic, check out my Add/Drop article for week six. There’s some great “add” options for both the long term and as bye week fill-ins. If you see others in your league panicking, now may be a great time to offer them a trade! Use their distress to your advantage.
Luckily, this week seems pretty straightforward for fantasy. There’s some obvious matchups we’ll look to exploit, and some others that we know we need to avoid. Unfortunately, there are a couple question marks because of injuries, so make sure you bookmark this page, or do what you have to do, so you keep checking back throughout the week. I’ll continue to update my rankings as news presents itself, so I can give you the only fantasy football rankings you need for week six!
