Week 6 Fantasy Lineups Strained by Key Injuries and Multiple Bye Weeks

Late-week team rulings are forcing managers to rely on short-term backups for starting roles.

Overview

  • Baltimore confirmed Lamar Jackson will sit with an ankle issue and Tyler Huntley is set to start, offering a low-ownership QB pickup for managers who need a quick fill.
  • Philadelphia announced Jalen Hurts will miss the game with a superficial blood clot and the team also ruled out running back Saquon Barkley, leaving Eagles rosters thin for Week 6.
  • Arizona rookie Jeremiyah Love is out with an ankle injury, which pushes Tyler Allgeier into a larger role and makes him a recommended waiver add for running back depth.
  • Wide receiver availability is mixed with DeVonta Smith cleared to return while A.J. Brown is listed questionable and several receivers including Rashee Rice and Tank Dell are ruled out.
  • FantasyPros roster and scoring data should guide claims because multiple teams on bye this week are raising competition for short-term starters and ownership rates can change quickly during the waiver window.
