Rethinking Fantasy Football Moves for Week 6

Tough Choices Ahead for Managers

Fantasy football managers are facing some tough decisions for Week 6. Derrick Henry, a usually reliable choice, has seen his rankings drop. He's now the RB20, but does he still deserve a spot in your starting lineup?

Derrick Henry's Performance

Henry had a strong start to the season. In Week 1, he rushed for 169 yards and scored two touchdowns. But since then, his performance has been lackluster. He's had four games with 50 or fewer rushing yards and only three receptions. His fantasy points per game have dropped to 45th among running backs.

The Matchup Against the Rams

This week, Henry faces the Los Angeles Rams. They've been tough on running backs, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to the position this season. They haven't given up a rushing touchdown to a running back yet. Other top running backs like Tony Pollard, Jonathan Taylor, and Nick Chubb have struggled against them.

Henry's Track Record

But Henry has faced tough defenses before. Last season, he played against seven of the eight teams that allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs. He still managed to score double-digit fantasy points in all those games. His talent and volume keep him in the conversation for fantasy starting lineups.

Concerns and Considerations

However, his recent performances and the Ravens' injuries are concerning. The matchup against the Rams is tough, but it's not the only factor. Many other backfields have less talent, worse matchups, and uncertain touch distributions. So, should you start Henry or look for other options?

Mason Taylor: A Viable Option

Mason Taylor is another player to consider. He's just outside the top 12 fantasy tight ends for Week 6. His matchup against the Broncos makes him a better option than some players who are usually in fantasy starting lineups.

Making Smart Choices

In the end, it's all about making smart choices. Check the latest rankings and consider all factors before making your final decisions.
