Two of the most interesting receiver rooms to watch in Week 6 are two that were on bye in Week 5. The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers both have offenses that are in the top half of the league in scoring and passing, but so far they have only had one reliable wide receiver between the two of them: Rome Odunze. What they do have are a lot of wide receivers that are sitting on Fantasy manager’s benches because of their potential.
DJ Moore has the highest profile of these receivers and he has been an enormous disappointment through four weeks. He has a 16% target share, which ranks not only behind Odunze, but also Olamide Zaccheaus. His aDOT (8.2) looks a lot like last year but he has lost two yards of YAC. His 4.1 YAC is his lowest since he joined the Bears. I have not even considered dropping Moore yet, but if his role in the offense doesn’t change coming out of the bye it is going to be hard to keep hoping.
Romeo Doubs has been the most productive Packers’ wide receiver, but that is largely a result of his three-touchdown game against the Cowboys in Week 4. Doubs had a season-high eight targets in that game, which is much more sustainable than the touchdowns. If he comes out of the bye as the clear top target for Jordan Love, we’ll feel much more comfortable starting him as a WR3. Against Cincinnati in Week 6 the Packers may not throw enough to find out for sure.
A pair of rookie wide receivers are by far the most exciting bench stashes on the Packers and Bears. Matthew Golden was held by Fantasy managers over the bye, but Luther Burden saw his roster rate fall to 27% while he was on bye. This makes some sense as Golden has played more than half the snaps in three straight games, but rookies often get more involved after a bye week and I will be stashing Burden anywhere I can. Rookie wide receiver are the most common league winning second half breakouts we see.
Everything we just said about Green Bay could be complicated by the fact that Christian Watson returned to practice and could be back in the field in the next couple of weeks. In deeper leagues, or league with open IR spots, Watson is yet another bench stash from these two receiving rooms. Hopefully in Week 6 one or two of these guys get promoted to Fantasy starters.
Here is the rest of the Week 6 WR Preview:

Numbers to Know
- 9.2 — Number one wide receivers have averaged 9.2 PPR FPPG against Pat Surtain and the Broncos. This is a brutal matchup for Garrett Wilson.
- 6 — Davante Adams is tied for the league lead with six targets inside the five yard line. He has only caught one of them.
- 17.5% — Tee Higgins only has a 17.5% target share this season. Hopefully Joe Flacco looks his way a little more often.
- 43.8 — The Cowboys have given up a league-high 43.8 PPR FPPG tow wide receivers. Surely this will be the week for the Tetairoa McMillan explosion.
- 43 — Jameson Williams has one game with more than 43 yards this season. I am not dropping, but I understand why you are asking.
- 2.97 — Stefon Diggs is averaging almost three yards per route run. He looks like he is back as a must-start wide receiver.
- 11.52 — D.J. Moore’s average route depth is one of the highest in the league at 11.52, he is just not being targeted on the deep stuff.
- 67% — Travis Hunter played a season-high 67% of the offensive snaps in Week 6. The breakout could be coming after a big play on Monday night.

With the Chicago Bulls, he fulfilled every dream he had when he first entered the league.As he recalled in The Last Dance, Jordan helped transform a franchise once mired in mediocrity, where professionalism was often lacking.

Shilo Sanders, still without a team, makes another request to Coach Prime: he needs money
Shilo Sanders was unable to land a roster spot with any franchise in 2025, and for now, he seems to be enjoying life.

NBA Picks and Predictions: Best Bets for Wednesday October 22nd
After the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder and three fellow Western Conference contenders opened the season on Tuesday, most of the rest of the league gets its turn Wednesday night. New eras and vibes abound in arenas and locker rooms. As for the betting analysis, it’s business as usual. Let’s see how these picks stack up on the Association’s first busy night of 2025-26. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS at NEW YORK KNICKS, 7 p.m. Many view these high-scoring attacks as the top two contenders in the Eastern Conference. With a trio of Top 20 scorers from last season involved, this opener from Madison Square Garden should at least pack plenty of points. New York’s Jalen Brunson (26 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (24.4) will aim to outdo Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell (24.4), who has his share of running mates. Over 228.5 total points […]
Jimbo Fisher wants another college football coaching job. Is there a place for him in the modern game?
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tucked inside a private room at one of his favorite eateries, the Red Elephant Pizza and Grill, Jimbo Fisher is talking a mile a minute about play calls from yesteryear. He remembers every detail. The season, the game, the down-and-distance, the formation, the play terminology, the result.“We had trips left,” he says, gnashing on a quesadilla and washing it down with a mug of soda before launching into more ’ball.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“They were in two-high safety.”Fisher and his wife, Courtney, have agreed to meet with a reporter to talk about his desire to return to coaching. It quickly turned into a two-hour clinic on football from a man known as one of the game’s greatest offensive savants.Fisher speaks quick enough — 250 words a minute — that if you don’t pay attention, you’ll miss something important.Like, for instance, the […]
