Our updated Week 6 fantasy football rankings start with Bijan Robinson at No. 1, followed by Kenneth Walker III, Jonathan Taylor, and Christian McCaffrey. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the first wide receiver at No. 5.
Kyren Williams checks in at No. 12 overall, while Malik Nabers sits at No. 29. Josh Allen is the first quarterback at No. 28, and Brock Bowers leads the tight ends at No. 38.
Here are the complete Week 6 overall fantasy football rankings, followed by closer looks at Williams and Nabers.
Williams has taken what looked like a split backfield and turned it into one of the more attractive running back roles in fantasy.
Blake Corum hasn’t necessarily done anything wrong, but Williams has simply proven capable of handling more. He is the only running back to record at least 15 carries and five receptions in each of the past three weeks.
If Williams reaches those thresholds again in Week 6, he would join Christian McCaffrey as the only running backs since the start of 2019 to do it in four consecutive games.
The receiving production is especially notable. Williams has never been a purely one-dimensional back, but he is already just 10 catches away from setting a new single-season career high.
His streak of three straight games with a rush of at least 20 yards ended last week against Buffalo, but there is little else to criticize. Williams has three-down usage, goal-line access, and a major role in an efficient offense.
Corum will continue to get touches, but his involvement doesn’t need to come at the expense of Williams’ workload. Williams checks in at No. 12 overall and RB8 for Week 6, firmly inside the RB1 range.
Nabers is back in the kind of role fantasy managers hoped to see, with Jameis Winston’s aggressive approach providing him with massive opportunity.
Nabers drew 20 targets last weekend and leads the league in air yards over the past two weeks, a stretch that has coincided with Winston becoming far more willing to push the ball downfield without worrying about the consequences.
There are still durability concerns. Nabers has dealt with a shoulder issue, while a knee injury was also mentioned during practice last week. For Week 6, however, he enters the matchup healthy enough to remain one of New York’s clear offensive focal points.
New Orleans has allowed 12.5% of deep passes to result in touchdowns this season, the ninth-highest rate in the league. That lines up well with the kind of high-variance opportunities Winston is willing to give his top receiver.
Nabers sits at No. 29 overall and WR10 for Week 6, placing him firmly inside the standard WR1 range. The volume and downfield usage give him both a strong weekly ceiling and clear DFS appeal.
