The fantasy football schedule is moving along into Week 6 of the season and there are a number of players that fantasy football owners should be keeping an eye on to start or sit and that list includes Terrance Williams, Keenan Allen, Calvin Johnson, Andre Ellington, Zac Stacy and Larry Fitzgerald.
Some of the players listed are sleeper options this week and a number of them are dealing with injury issues, including Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. Johnson looks like he will be a START player on Sunday despite dealing with a knee injury and things are looking good for him playing since he participated in practice this week for two straight days after being limited. Johnson is looking more likely to go against the Browns and that should be a big boost for fantasy owners, as Johnson is a beast.
This season Johnson is playing well once again and he has 21 catches for 312 yards and four touchdowns. Over his last four games, Johnson has been targeted in double-digits twice and he has gone over 100 yards in two games as well while scoring four touchdowns in that span. Over the past two weeks he has made 11 catches on 23 targets and after putting up 44 yards against the Bears last week, he should be a solid option on Sunday. In the previous two games he went over 110 yards with 115 and 116 receiving yards and he should be a prime target on Sunday.
Fitzgerald is another player looking like he will be a game time decision and while he is a possibly scratch, he likely will START on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers and the team surely could use him at full strength in the offense. This season Fitzgerald has been targeted over 40 times and he has 24 receptions for 288 yards and three touchdowns and he should be trending upwards if he can stay healthy. Last week he had just three catches for 43 yards and that came after a six catch performance against the Buccaneers.
Terrance Williams was a huge sleeper heading into last week and he came through big time, ending up with four catches on four targets for 151 yards and one touchdown and he also added an 82-yarder in the game and he could continue that against the Redskins, who are giving up a ton of yards through the air. The speed of Williams makes him a big play threat and after making five catches over the first couple weeks for just 50 yards, he had 11 catches for over 200 since then and could continue on that a streak this week.
Williams had seven catches for 71 yards against the Chargers and he could be a very good option going forward. Keenan Allen fits in the same category after going for 115 yards last week on five catches and that came after he made five catches for 80 yards against the Cowboys. With the Chargers dealing with injuries, he will be a prime option going forward. Andre Ellington is another solid option and while he may not be a starter yet over Rashard Mendenhall, that could happen later this season.
