Fantasy Football (NFL) 2008: Week 6 Sleepers and Keepers Wide Receivers (WRs)

Erik M. Dell
What a crazy week. Santana Moss had exactly 0 catches for 0 yards. Bobby Engram is officially back with a decent performance in an awful outing by the Seattle Seahawks. TJ Houshmandzadeh came back with a vengeance. Plaxico Burress sat out for being a bad boy and should be back this week.

The time is quickly approaching where Kevin Curtis and Marques Colston will be starting. So grab them while you can, as both are WR1s in most leagues. Chad Ocho Nocho is looking like a bag of hot wind. Randy Moss finally gained some decent fantasy points.

Without further delay I present my week 6 fantasy football picks.

1) Santana Moss - I know he had a crappy game last week but for the love of all that's holy in football Moss is playing the ST. LOUIS RAMS. He should be good for about 100 yards and a touchdown. Maybe more, this is the Rams we are talking about.

2) Laveranues Coles - Farve will hit him and the Cincinnati secondary is questionable at best. He most likely won't explode for three touchdowns and have people scrambling for the waiver wire.

3) Roy Williams - I got a hunch on this one. Kitna was pulled and the backup was hurt which means that Kitna should start. That being said the Lions air game isn't as bad as it's been this year. Calvin Johnson is the sexy pick but I think Williams will haul in a TD and grab some yardage to go with that.

4) Greg Jennings - Rodgers will be healthier and Jennings will get open versus the Seattle secondary. I'm thinking something like 2TDs and some good yardage from at least one 70+ yard play.

5) Plaxico Burress - Fresh from two weeks off and Plaxico will get his. Cleveland isn't a team to be afraid of passing the ball on so expect the better Manning to toss a few red zone passes towards the rule breaking wide receiver.

6) Roddy White - Twice this year White has uncoupled to make outstanding long plays from Matt Ryan. I'm not ready to call it chemistry yet but I do think White will get some good looks going into the match up against Chicago. Somewhere around 80-90 yards and a touchdown.

7) Torry Holt - Call this a wish pick or a bad pick but I think it is only a matter of time before Bulger unleashes the ball and Holt is most likely the man on the other end of the bullet. Washington is everyone's darling team but I expect this game to be closer than a lot of people are calling but in the end ST. LOUIS will lose but in the process they will allow big points.

8) Bobby Engram - I like what I saw last week and guess what? There really isn't anyone else to throw to so it doesn't matter who the quarterback is for week 6. I have Engram in a ton of leagues and I think he will be a great pickup for any team needing WR help.

9) Braylon Edwards - He's got to burst out of the bubble sometime. Right? Edwards will finally have a big game and collect 100 yards with at least one touchdown. Of course it's all up in the air after this game, he could be sketchy the rest of the year but I don't think so, I think the Browns turn it around.

10) Andre Johnson - He's been pretty quiet until last week and I don't believe it will stop. Look for Johnson to make some noise while testing the ok secondary of Miami.

The picks are guaranteed and golden. Play with confidence and read often. Google Erik M. Dell for more amazing articles.
