Yahoo Sports Fantasy football rankings for Week 6: Nick Chubb fuels Browns' ground game
It's the first bye week of the NFL season, which will keep stalwarts such as Derrick Henry, Davante Adams and, yes, Jared Goff out of fantasy lineups. But there are still plenty of studs to go around.
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: Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Tennessee
