Start'em/Sit'em for Week 6 | NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings

Five weeks of the fantasy football season are now behind us as we move deeper into October. So far, this season the one big surprise has to be the Denver Broncos and their 5-0 start to the season. Fantasy football owners that drafted players on this team have to be happy as they got them cheap on draft day.

This week the Cowboys , Colts , Dolphins , and 49ers are all on bye weeks. No doubt fantasy football owners will be scrambling to the waiver wire and their benches to fill holes.

Below we have our top borderline players at different positions that are worth starting and worth sitting for the sixth week of the NFL fantasy football season.
