Early Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em picks Week 6 feat. Dak Prescott, Stefon Diggs, Travis Etienne, Mark Andrews

Week 6 of the 2024 fantasy football season is nearly here and managers must begin working on their lineups. Analyzing all the available options by breaking down their recent individual performances and weekly matchups, among other factors, will help determine who to start and sit. Here is a list of the best players to target and fade this week.

Fantasy Football Week 6 Start 'Em picks

Week 6 starts

Dak Prescott headlines the list of favorable players to target in Week 6 fantasy football lineups. After a slow start to the year, including ranking outside of the top 15 quarterbacks in the first two weeks, he has been heating up in recent weeks. He now ranks as the overall QB8 this year and gets an excellent matchup this week against the Detroit Lions' weak passing defense.

Stefon Diggs is another solid option in Week 6 fantasy football, especially with a recent injury to Nico Collins. He may be asked to take on a larger role this week if Collins is forced to miss time, which could help improve his already solid fantasy output this year. He currently ranks as the overall WR10, but potentially more targets could mean a massive week.

Here's who joins them as strong Week 6 options:

Fantasy Football Week 6 Sit 'Em picks

Week 6 sits

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool gives weekly projections and lineup suggestions to help managers make better decisions in fantasy football. Travis Etienne is one of the players recommended to be a fade in Week 6 as his usage has been dropping. In fact, he was outperformed by Tank Bigsby, who also received more touches than Etienne in the Jacksonville Jaguars' backfield.

Mark Andrews has been having a frustrating 2024 fantasy football season, but he did turn in a season-best 55 yards last week. Managers shouldn't be fooled into trusting him in Week 6 following his promising performance, as he still served as their TE2 behind Isaiah Likely, who recorded more snaps and two touchdowns.

Here's who joins them on the list of players to avoid this week:

Must Sits

• Deshaun Watson
• Daniel Jones
• Aaron Rodgers
• Travis Etienne
• Rhamondre Stevenson
• Jerome Ford
• Rachaad White
• Tyler Lockett
• Gabe Davis
• Keenan Allen
• Curtis Samuel
• Mike Williams
• Tyler Conklin
• Mark Andrews
