Mike Evans or Chris Olave or Tee Higgins: Who should I start in Week 6 Fantasy Football?

The bye weeks started on the previous Sunday, which means that players like Mike Evans, Chris Olave and Tee Higgins, far from the elite wide receivers in fantasy football, become even more important for your roster now. Which of these players is a better option for Week 6?

Is Mike Evans a great fantasy pick in Week 6?

The start of the season hasn't been so kind for the Tampa Bay wide receiver, who remains a dominant player but still hasn't managed a single 100-yard game. However, his production in the red zone remains amazing, with five touchdowns in five games.

The Buccaneers will play the New Orleans Saints, who not only fell down after two great weeks to start the season but will also have Spencer Rattler as their starter. The visitors should dominate, and there's a good chance for Evans.

Is Chris Olave a great fantasy pick in Week 6?

Olave, on the other hand, will suffer without Derek Carr under center, but that doesn't mean he will be a bad pick. He already has three games with over 80 receiving yards this season and has established himself as a clear WR1. Even with Rattler, he could be in for a good day.

However, it's important to be wary when starting him because there's a major risk in trusting a wide receiver whose quarterback will have his first-ever start. Olave's own quality, however, should put him to start on your team always.

Is Tee Higgins a great fantasy pick in Week 6?

The Giants have been playing solid football, and unlike the Cincinnati Bengals, they have the feeling of a well-coached team. But although the Bengals have many problems in 2024, the one thing they're still doing at a high level is passing the ball around.

Higgins has had some good games, notably against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5 with two touchdowns and nine catches. However, the difference between him and Evans/Olave is that he's not the WR1, which means his chances are badly hurt.

Surprisingly, the best option for Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer is Chris Olave, with the machine believing that, even with Rattler, his individual quality will surpass Evans' projection and make him the WR1 between the trio.
