Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 6
Welcome to our Fantasy Football Starts & Sits for Week 6 of the 2022 fantasy football season!
Here are my Fantasy Football Starts & Sits for Week 6!
Quarterbacks
Start: Kirk Cousins versus The Miami Dolphins
This play feels so telling as to what this Vikings offense is capable of, and how much Kirk Cousins is diagnosing.

Bears show split safety. Dalvin heads out. Safety goes with him. Kirk sees he has Justin Jefferson 1 on 1. JJ releases outside. Safety can’t get over.

Facing a Dolphins team that is middle of the road in pass coverage as well as pass rushing, Kirk Cousins will look to make it two in a row in the 20+ fantasy point category of QB scoring as the Dolphins rank 5th most in the league in fantasy points allowed to the position.
Additional Start Candidates: Jimmy Garoppolo versus The Atlanta Falcons and Geno Smith versus The Arizona Cardinals
SIT: Trevor Lawrence versus The Indianapolis Colts
The Colts have gotten stingier on defense towards the QB position in recent weeks. They held Russell Wilson to 11.16 pts and Ryan Tannehill to 14.38 the past two weeks. With a consistent running game threat to take the pressure on Lawrence look for the pass-rush to pin their ears back and go after TLAW this week.
Additional Sit Candidates: Kenny Pickett versus The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Daniel Jones versus The Baltimore Ravens
Running Backs
START: Jeff Wilson Jr. versus The Atlanta Falcons

84, 75, 74, and 120 are per game totals over the past four weeks. Jeff Wilson has really started to come into his own, and his production has been so good some are starting to question whether Elijah Mitchell will regain the majority of snaps when he returns from injury.
The 49ers should be able to put away the Falcons with relative ease this week, and with no real offense threat for Atlanta look for the 49ers to control the time of possession and for WIlson to pad his rushing stats this week.
Additional Start Candidates: Breece Hall versus The Green Bay Packers, Travis Etienne versus The Indianapolis Colts, and Eno Benjamin Jr. versus The Seattle Seahawks
SIT: AJ Dillon versus The New York Jets
Until this offense gets more balanced for Green Bay, there appears to only be room for one running back to be productive from a fantasy standpoint in this backfield and that is Aaron Jones.
Additional Sit Candidates: Clyde Edwards-Helaire versus The Buffalo BIlls and Ezekiel Elliott versus The Dallas Cowboys
Wide Receivers
START: Devin Duvernay versus The New York Giants

The guys just makes plays and with no Rashod Batemen this week look for Jackson and this offense to find ways to incorporate Devin into this offense this week.
Additional Starts Candidates: Rondale Moore versus The Atlanta Falcons and Christian Kirk versus The Indianapolis Colts
SIT: Garrett Wilson versus The Green Bay Packers
Lining up against Rasul Douglas in zone coverage should be problematic for Wilson and Douglas is one of the best defenders in zone coverage when covering slot wide receivers. Fade Wilson this week.
Additional Sit Candidates: Saints Wide Receivers versus The Cincinatti Bengals and D.J. Moore versus The Los Angeles Rams
Tight Ends
START: Hayden Hurst versus The New Orleans Saints

The past two week Hurst has started to cement himself as a fixture in the passing game of this offense. The Bengals should beat up the Saints’ defense this week and Hurst should get you a touchdown in the process.
Additional Starts Candidates: Tyler Higbee versus The Carolina Panthers
SIT: Kyle Pitts versus The San Francisco 49ers
You haven’t benched him yet? Cowards.
Additional Sit Candidate: Dalton Schultz versus The Philadelphia Eagles and Gerald Everett versus The Denver Broncos
