Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: RB, K, DST

Bye weeks continue to wreak havoc on our Fantasy Football lineups. With four more teams off with a bye, the Week 6 Fantasy RB Rankings look pretty thin. On your bench go running backs like Darren Sproles, DeAngelo Williams, Maurice Jones-Drew and Matt Forte. (I doubt you’re going to miss Jonathan Stewart and Mark Ingram much.)

Week 6 Fantasy RB Rankings

The following rankings are for non-PPR leagues, with four points for passing TDs. A lot of people wonder, why do we do rankings for non-PPR, when any serious Fantasy Football owner is playing in a PPR league? The answer is — only 28 percent of leagues on CBSSports.com use “points per reception” as a scoring unit.

The good folks at Four-Downs.com hook us up with their rankings tool, so we’re grateful for their help. There are several teams with byes this week, including the Bears, Jaguars, Panthers and Saints.

One issue is that we were unable to rank Mikel Leshoure of the Lions and Shaun Draughn of the Chiefs. Figure Leshoure would end up about 20th, and Draughn a little further down in the 35th spot.

I also posted the Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings for the QBs, WRs and TEs.
