Flex rankings for Week 6 of the fantasy season

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time to breakout the flex rankings for Week 6 of the fantasy football season. Remember that rankings change throughout the week, so be sure to check our staff rankings for updates.

1. Kareem Hunt, KC vs PIT (RB1) — Don't worry about Charcandrick West's two scores last week. Hunt out-touched West 32-3.

2. Antonio Brown, PIT @ KC (WR1) — Even with Ben Roethlisberger, Brown is still getting his. He racked up 10 catches on 19 targets last week.

3. Leonard Fournette, JAC vs LAR (RB2) — The Rams have surrendered the most rushing touchdowns (7) through the first five weeks of the season.

4. Julio Jones, ATL vs MIA (WR2) — Keep an eye on his status, but Jones appears to be on track to play and gets a plus matchup.

5. DeAndre Hopkins, HOU vs CLE (WR3) — Only Antonio Brown has seen more targets than Hopkins this season.

6. Michael Thomas, NO vs DET (WR4) — Cam Newton just lit up the Lions defense. This week it's Drew Brees' turn.

7. Jordy Nelson, GB @ MIN (WR5) — Nelson is dealing with a hamstring injury, so be sure to monitor his practice status.

8. Mike Evans, TB @ ARI (WR6) — Evans will likely draw Patrick Peterson's shadow, but he's a top-10 play regardless.

9. Le'Veon Bell, PIT @ KC (RB3) — He averages just 3.6 yards per carry, but Bell's healthy workload keeps his floor nice and high.

10. Todd Gurley, LAR @ JAC (RB4) — The redemption tour was derailed last week, but Gurley gets back on track in this one.

11. T.Y. Hilton, IND @ TEN (WR7) — Jacoby Brissett is a capable deep-ball thrower, which bodes well for Hilton in this favorable matchup.

12. Keenan Allen, LAC @ OAK (WR8) — Only three wideouts have seen more targets than Allen this season.

13. Devonta Freeman, ATL vs MIA (RB5) — Expect a favorable game script for Freeman with the Falcons heavy favorites.

14. C.J. Anderson, DEN vs NYG (RB6) — Anderson returns from bye and makes for an RB1 play in a plus matchup.

15. Chris Hogan, NE @ NYJ (WR9) — Yep. He's ahead of Brandin Cooks and is now a WR1 option.

(It's PFF Fantasy's Free Content Week. Keep up with all the offerings here.)

16. Melvin Gordon, LAC @ OAK (RB7) — Gordon got back on track last week and continues to roll against the Raiders.

17. Lamar Miller, HOU vs CLE (RB8) — His 4.0 yards per attempt don't impress, but Miller continues to see enough volume to warrant RB1 consideration

18. Brandin Cooks, NE @ NYJ (WR10) — Cooks is behind Hogan in this week's rankings, but his upside is still worthy of a WR1 spot.

19. Rob Gronkowski, NE @ NYJ (TE1) — Gronk hasn't had a massive fantasy day this season, but it's coming.

20. Larry Fitzgerald, ARI vs TB (WR11) — The veteran has been inconsistent this season, but he's a strong play in a plus matchup this week.

21. Jordan Howard, CHI @ BAL (RB9) — Howard ranks eight among running backs in carries and is doing a good job of creating on his own with 2.5 yards after contact per attempt.

22. Tyreek Hill, KC vs PIT (WR12) — Hill's upside continues to place him on the fringes of the WR1s during the bye weeks.

23. Mark Ingram, NO vs DET (RB10) — Ingram is worthy of RB1 consideration with Adrian Peterson now in Arizona.

24. Jay Ajayi, MIA @ ATL (RB11) — It's been a frustrating start to the season for Ajayi owners, but he carried the ball 25 times last week and gets a favorable matchup.

25. DeMarco Murray, TEN vs IND (RB12) — Murray is back in the lead for the Titans, out-touching Derrick Henry 18-4 last week.

26. Michael Crabtree, OAK vs LAC (WR13) — Sorry Amari Cooper owners, but Crabtree is now the top fantasy receiver in Oakland.

27. Adam Thielen, MIN vs GB (WR14) — With Stefon Diggs banged up, Thielen has the potential to see heavy volume this week.

28. Golden Tate, DET @ NO (WR15) — Tate draws a favorable matchup against the Saints in this one.

29. Marshawn Lynch, OAK vs LAC (RB13) — Lynch got in the end zone last week and should benefit from Derek Carr being back under center.

30. Doug Martin, TB @ ARI (RB14) — He returned from suspension and got off to a strong start in Week 5, but this is a tougher matchup for Martin.

31. Davante Adams, GB @ MIN (WR16)

32. Aaron Jones, GB @ MIN (RB15)

33. Jerick McKinnon, MIN vs GB (RB16) — McKinnon exploded on Monday night, but we still expect a committee in the Vikings backfield.

35. Ameer Abdullah, DET @ NO (RB17)

36. Kelvin Benjamin, CAR vs PHI (WR18)

44. Pierre Garcon, SF @ WAS (WR23)

45. DeVante Parker, MIA @ ATL (WR24)

46. Carlos Hyde, SF @ WAS (RB20) — Tread lightly with Hyde. Matt Breida actually out-snapped him 37-35 last week.

48. Alvin Kamara, NO vs DET (RB21)

49. Emmanuel Sanders, DEN vs NYG (WR26)

50. Tevin Coleman, ATL vs MIA (RB22)

59. Taylor Gabriel, ATL vs MIA (WR31)

60. Will Fuller, HOU vs CLE (WR32) — Yes, he's scored four times in the last two weeks, but Fuller isn't seeing heavy volume with just 9 targets over that span.

61. Duke Johnson, CLE @ HOU (RB27)

62. Jermaine Kearse, NYJ vs NE (WR33)

63. Jonathan Stewart, CAR vs PHI (RB28)

69. Frank Gore, IND @ TEN (RB30)

70. Jeremy Maclin, BAL vs CHI (WR37)

71. Martavis Bryant, PIT @ KC (WR38) — Ben Roethlisberger's struggles and minimal targets make it tough to trust Bryant as anything more than a flex option.

72. Wayne Gallman, NYG @ DEN (RB31)

73. Delanie Walker, TEN vs IND (TE4)

74. Sterling Shepard, NYG @ DEN (WR39)

75. Alex Collins, BAL vs CHI (RB32)

78. Robby Anderson, NYJ vs NE (WR41)

79. Jordan Reed, WAS vs SF (TE5)

80. Derrick Henry, TEN vs IND (RB34)

81. Allen Hurns, JAC vs LAR (WR42)

82. Tyrell Williams, LAC @ OAK (WR43) — Mike Williams will likely be active this week, and that puts a damper on Tyrell Williams' fantasy value.

83. Adrian Peterson, ARI vs TB (RB35)

84. Ted Ginn, NO vs DET (WR44)

85. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, NYJ vs NE (TE6)

86. Jamison Crowder, WAS vs SF (WR45)

87. Jamaal Charles, DEN vs NYG (RB36)

88. Mike Wallace, BAL vs CHI (WR46)

89. Evan Engram, NYG @ DEN (TE7) — The Giants are a mess right now, but Engram should benefit from Odell Beckham's and Brandon Marshall's season-ending injuries.

90. Sammy Watkins, LAR @ JAC (WR47)

91. James White, NE @ NYJ (RB37)

92. Andre Ellington, ARI vs TB (RB38)

107. Bilal Powell, NYJ vs NE (RB43)

108. Coby Fleener, NO vs DET (TE12) — Ed Dickson lit up the Lions defense last week, so Fleener has some streamer appeal.

111. Hunter Henry, LAC @ OAK (TE13)

112. Donte Moncrief, IND @ TEN (WR55)

115. Albert Wilson, KC vs PIT (WR57)

116. Ryan Griffin, HOU vs CLE (TE14)

120. Marquise Goodwin, SF @ WAS (WR59)

133. Jalen Richard, OAK vs LAC (RB50)

134. Austin Hooper, ATL vs MIA (TE18)

135. Roger Lewis, NYG @ DEN (WR67) — If Sterling Shepard can't suit up, Lewis could be the Giants No. 1 receiver this week.

136. Josh Doctson, WAS vs SF (WR68)

137. Dion Lewis, NE @ NYJ (RB51)

138. George Kittle, SF @ WAS (TE19)
