Soppe’s Fantasy RB Start-Sit Week 6 Players Include Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, and Others

The news content discusses key insights and player analyses for fantasy football managers, focusing on weekly opportunities and challenges that can influence team performance and player values. It emphasizes the importance of looking beyond obvious picks and understanding underlying factors that drive player production, which is crucial for managers competing for playoff spots or maintaining leads.

A significant portion is dedicated to Alvin Kamara of the Saints, highlighting concerns about his recent performance. Kamara has more fumbles lost than touchdowns since Week 1, no games with 30 receiving yards this season, and no 25-yard rushes since September 2021, raising questions about his value compared to players like Chase Edmonds. The author advises against labeling Kamara as a must-start and suggests considering receivers with 6-8 target projections, such as DeVonta Smith, Ladd McConkey, or DJ Moore, for flex positions instead.

The analysis also covers the Raiders' offense, noting it appears disorganized but fantasy-friendly, with a focus on Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty's target share increased from 6.5% in September to a team-high 19.4% against the Colts, partly due to Brock Bowers being inactive and Jakobi Meyers being contained. His potential as a pass-catcher is acknowledged, and it's suggested that his role might remain prominent even when Bowers returns, though managers could consider trading him after strong performances.

Additionally, the content briefly mentions J.K. Dobbins, who has scored in four of five weeks and might be overvalued, presenting a potential trade opportunity. It also recalls preseason hype around Bhayshul Tuten, who sparked excitement with consecutive scoring weeks, illustrating how breakout players can quickly gain attention in fantasy football circles.
