The fantasy football weekend schedule is here and some Start Em and Sit Em options for Week 6 include Percy Harvin, Antone Smith, Calvin Johnson, Joique Bell, Fred Jackson, Greg Olsen, Austin Davis, Travis Benjamin, Eddie Royal, Devin Hester, Michael Floyd, Shane Vereen, Marshawn Lynch and Carson Palmer, as some of those players have injuries and others have tough matchups this week.
Harvin comes in after having point taken off the board in bunches last week for fantasy owners against the Redskins and now his status is in question for Week 6. Harvin has had injury issues in the past and ESPN.com reports that he missed practice on Thursday with a thigh issue. It looks like Harvin will play, but his status depends on the injury report this weekend. Calvin Johnson is a SIT option, as he is looking like he will be held out this weekend after dealing with an ankle injury.
AJ Green and Montee Ball will be out and they are SIT options for owners and their backups in Mohamed Sanu and Ronnie Hillman are START picks until they return. Bell is dealing with an injury to his head and that will give Reggie Bush the full amount of carries, while both Keenan Allen and Eddie Royal come in banged up this week against the Raiders. Fred Jackson is also dealing with an injury and he is a risky START this weekend. Austin Davis has played well and he is a START option for fantasy owners with Drew Brees on a bye or for owners with an injury.
Calvin Johnson is dealing with a foot injury and he will be out after injuring his ankle and that makes Golden Tate a strong starter option for the week. Fred Jackson is also banged up and a nice replacement could ben Antone Smith, as he has been a hot hand lately and could keep things going. The Falcons have been rushing the ball and his speed has been a major weapon.
Ronnie Hillman is coming in for Montee Ball and he will be starting for at least a couple weeks while Ball recovers. Some Giants options include Andre Williams and Odell Beckham, as both of those players are in the lineup as rookies. Rashad Jennings is out with an injury and that will give Williams the chance to step up after he played well in his place last week. Beckham made his debut last weekend and he had a TD catch and four receptions and his presence on the field is huge for the offense. The Giants are playing the Eagles on Sunday night and that game could end up as a shootout.
