Coming off two weeks' worth of games in London, the Jacksonville Jaguars return home on Sunday with first place in the AFC South on the line against the Indianapolis Colts. After a slow start, the Jaguars offense has shown signs of life lately, particularly running back Travis Etienne. Meanwhile, the Colts defense enters the game ranked 28th overall in yards allowed per game.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 6 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

ON BYE: Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers
