Fantasy Football: Week 6 red-zone report

  • Chris Olave draws an ideal matchup to find the end zone this week: Held to just one touchdown on the year so far, Olave should get plenty of good opportunities in a positive Week 6 matchup.
  • Ashton Jeanty should bounce back in Week 6: After being held out of the end zone in Week 5, Jeanty draws one of the best matchups to score on the ground this week.

The high-scoring areas of the field are the most valuable areas of opportunity for our fantasy football assets. This report will keep track of each team’s top performers in that area of the field, as well as the players getting the most opportunities in the red zone. Adding even more fantasy value to this report, we’ll also include each team’s opponent and their effectiveness when defending in the red zone to identify our best matchups.

Note: Plays called back due to penalties or plays with pre-snap penalties will not be included within the player data.

  • The Colts’ red-zone defense has particularly struggled against the run this season, ranking near the bottom of the league at limiting offensive success so far.
  • With both James Conner and Trey Benson out, Michael Carter might now be the best option to take advantage of a favorable matchup. Both Carter and Zonovan Knight each got one goal-to-go carry in Week 5, so it’s not a clear path for Carter.
