Sit/Start 2025 Week 6: Reviewing All Fantasy Relevant Players in Every Game

Sit or Start recommendations for EVERY fantasy-relevant player in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season!

Game Info

 

Kickoff: Sunday, October 12, 2025, 4:05 p.m. ET

Location: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV

Network: FOX

 

Tennessee Titans

 

Quarterback

Cam Ward: SIT

Cam Ward hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass since Week 3. You really want to start him?

 

Running Back

Tony Pollard: FLEX, RB3
Tyjae Spears: SIT

Tony Pollard has maybe another week or two remaining as a low-end volume-based RB2, with Tyjae Spears activated off IR in Week 5. It’ll take a few more weeks for Spears to get back into game shape, keeping Pollard in FLEX consideration. He has a decent chance of getting in the end zone against the Raiders, who’ve allowed seven rushing touchdowns in their last three games.

 

Wide Receiver

Calvin Ridley: START, WR3
Elic Ayomanor: FLEX, WR4

Tyler Lockett: SIT

Maybe Calvin Ridley didn’t realize the season had started yet, because he finally showed up in Week 5 in a big way. It was his first 100-yard receiving game of the season, turning 10 targets into five catches and 131 yards. With the underwhelming passing game of the Titans, Ridley’s emergence slid Elic Ayomanor back to fantasy irrelevance, at least for one week. I don’t trust Cam Ward to be able to take advantage of the matchup, but Ridley is a WR3 and Aymonaor a flex against Las Vegas, which gives up the fourth most points to opposing receivers. Tyler Lockett is a great person.

 

Tight End

Chig Okonkwo: SIT

Chig Okonkwo has more games under five points than he has over 10. He’s not on the fantasy radar.

 

Defense/Special Teams

Tennessee Titans: STREAMER

Geno Smith has nine interceptions on the season, including five in his last two games.

 

Las Vegas Raiders

 

Quarterback

Geno Smith: SIT

Raiders fans are calling for Geno Smith to be benched for checks notes Kenny Pickett. I guess a 6:9 touchdown-to-interception ratio will do that.

 

Running Back

Ashton Jeanty: START, RB1

Tennessee has been gashed on the ground, allowing 146.8 rushing yards per game, and is the only team to give up double-digit rushing touchdowns so far this season. Ashton Jeanty‘s early-season struggles are long gone, averaging 5.9 yards per carry since going back to his Michael Myers stance. 

He’s locked in as an every-week RB1, and could go nuclear against the Titans. Don’t be surprised if he joins the “fun fact” squad next week.

 

Wide Receiver

Jakobi Meyers: FLEX, WR4
Tre Tucker: START, WR3
Dont’e Thornton Jr.: SIT

I’d really love to rank Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker higher, considering the Titans give up the 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers, but not the way Smith is playing. Tucker’s been the better fantasy option between the two and has seen the same amount of targets as Meyers since Week 3. They’re risky starts considering the fact that Pickett throwing them the ball is seen as an upgrade.

 

Tight End

Brock Bowers: START, TE1 (if active)* Yet to practice as of 10/8
Michael Mayer: STREAMER (if Bowers inactive)

At the time of writing, Brock Bowers had yet to practice this week and is trending towards missing his second consecutive game. Michael Mayer has cleared concussion protocol and practiced in full on Wednesday, and would make a solid streaming option if active and Bowers not.

 

Defense/Special Teams

Las Vegas Raiders: START
