Sit/Start 2026 Week 6: Reviewing All Fantasy Relevant Players in Every Game

Sit or Start recommendations for EVERY fantasy-relevant player in Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season!

Game Info

 

Kickoff: Sunday, October 18, 2026, 8:20 PM ET

Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI

Network: NBC

 

Dallas Cowboys

 

Quarterback

Dak Prescott: START, QB1

Dak Prescott is coming off his worst game of the season, and it doesn’t get much easier. After getting picked off twice against a less-than-stellar Tampa secondary, Prescott gets a Green Bay defense that is tied for the league lead in interceptions and holding opponents to 181 passing yards per game. The good news is this game has one of the highest implied game totals of the week, and CeeDee Lamb is ready to go after leaving Week 5 with a quad issue. It could be ugly, but if Dak throws the ball 40+ times for the fourth straight game, there’s upside for a big day. Problem is the floor is lower than usual. 

 

Running Back

Javonte Williams: START, RB1
Tyler Goodson: SIT

In a game where he only saw 12 carries, Javonte Williams was still able to score 14 fantasy points thanks to extending his touchdown streak to three games. The Packers allow the second-most points to the position, and Williams likely extends that touchdown streak in a game projected to go over 50 points and tied for the league lead in goal line carries with 13. 

 

Wide Receiver

CeeDee Lamb: START, WR1
George Pickens: START, WR2
Ryan Flournoy: FLEX

CeeDee Lamb left Week 5 with a quad injury, but is practicing in full and right back in your lineups for Week 6. He’s the Bryce Harper of the NFL. The star power nor the expectations have ever been small, and when he gets rolling, there’s absolutely no confusion about who the main character is. As expected, George Pickens went off once Lamb left the lineup and showed why I had a hard time pushing out of the top 12 earlier this season. I can’t put him there again until I see a similar performance with Lamb active, but he’s a high-end WR2 in an expected shootout.

 

Tight End

Jake Ferguson: SIT

A player who only scores double digits when he catches a touchdown.

IT’S gLoBBERIN TIME!

 

Defense/Special Teams

Dallas Cowboys: SIT

Have you seen the game total?

 

Green Bay Packers

 

Quarterback

Jordan Love: START, QB1

Jordan Love has been shaky this season, but is still throwing two touchdowns per game and gets to face a Dallas defense that is yet to intercept a pass and is allowing the fifth-most points to the position. Yeah, that’ll do.

 

Running Back

MarShawn Lloyd: START, RB2

MarShawn Lloyd is coming off his best game of the season, but pump the brakes a tad. Sure, 16.7 fantasy points is nice, but 12 of those came via the end zone. Lloyd is still averaging just 2.8 yards per carry and has one of the league’s worst yards after contact per attempt average at 1.3 yards per attempt.

BUT

Dallas is allowing the most rushing yards per game this season and the seventh-most fantasy points to the position. Give me all the pieces I can get in a game that has an implied game total pushing 55 points.

 

Wide Receiver

Christian Watson: START, WR1
Matthew Golden: START, WR2
Bo Melton: SIT

Matthew Golden and Christian Watson both belong in your lineup every week, so we’re keeping this one in Wisconsin. Golden gets Jackson Chourio: young, explosive, and already a problem. Watson gets Christian Yelich: the veteran who can still wreck a game when healthy. Two Packers, two Brewers. Sometimes the bit writes itself. Both are smash starts against this Cowboys secondary.

 

Tight End

Tucker Kraft: START, TE1

Tucker Kraft is coming off his second straight game over 10 fantasy points and seems to be getting back into the groove. Kraft is averaging just under seven targets per game over his last three games, and his 3.0 yards after contact per reception rank fourth at the position. The Cowboys are an overall neutral matchup, but as I said a few blurbs ago, give me all the pieces I can get in a game that has an implied game total pushing 55 points.

 

Defense/Special Teams

Green Bay Packers: SIT

The Packers defense is average at best facing one of the most explosive offenses in the league.
