Lloyd Ranks in the Top 5 in the Week 6 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings

I hope wide receiver Brandon Lloyd hasn't been sitting on your bench for five weeks while you've been starting some other not-so-stellar options.  All Lloyd has done is lead points per receptions leagues in scoring. But Lloyd is a name that fantasy owners don't trust, and are reluctant to start over other "big name" players.  

You must break that mentality.

The goal in fantasy football is to score the most points possible.  It doesn't matter if those points come from guys named Johnson, Wayne, and Fitzgerald or from guys named Lloyd, Collie and Nicks.  Get the production from wherever it comes.

With that in mind, make good lineup decisions and use the rankings below as a guide.  If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I'd be happy to work through your decision with you.

2.	Reggie Wayne	@ WAS	Skins allowing 23 fantasy points to WRs every week.

9.	Malcom Floyd	@ STL	Floyd leads WRs in red zone targets with 8.
10.	Marques Colston	@ TB	Colston heating up, and Bucs missing a safety.

12.	Randy Moss	v. DAL	DAL giving up 19 fantasy points to WRs.
13.	Hines Ward	v. CLE	Ben's return equals fantasy relevance for Ward.
14.	Wes Welker	v. BAL	Should be main target with departure of Moss.
15.	Santana Moss	v. IND	Colts giving up over one TD per week to receivers.
16.	Mike Wallace	v. CLE	This deep threat should have opportunities this week.
17.	Kenny Britt	@ JAX	A risky play, but Jags giving up most points to WRs.
18.	Percy Harvin	v. DAL	Moss really opening things up for Harvin and Co.
19.	DeSean Jackson	v. ATL	His game just doesn't fit well with Kolb.
20.	Austin Collie	@ WAS	If 100 percent healthy, should finish higher than 20th.
21.	Mike Williams, TB	v. NO	Has scored a touchdown in every week but one.
22.	Steve Smith	v. DET	Should produce unless Nicks steals spotlight again.
23.	Donald Driver	v. MIA	Might find the end zone, but not much else.
24.	Jeremy Maclin	v. ATL	Limited upside until Vick returns.
25.	Johnny Knox	v. SEA	Seahawks giving up 24 fantasy points to WRs.
26.	Calvin Johnson	@ NYG	Probably won't play, and limited if he does.
27.	Danny Amendola	v. SD	Hard to find in the end zone, much better option in PPR.
28.	Pierre Garcon	@ WAS	Looks to benefit if Collie not 100 percent.
29.	Santonio Holmes	@ DEN	Well on his way to being the No. 1 WR for the Jets.
30.	Roy Williams	@ MIN	Clearly playing well, and MIN down to one CB.
31.	Lance Moore	@ TB	Very important as long as Bush is out.
32.	Braylon Edwards	@ DEN	Broncos giving up 21 fantasy points to WRs.
33.	Michael Crabtree	v. OAK	Not good enough to dominate a top CB, yet.
34.	Dwayne Bowe	@ HOU	Texans giving up 27 points to receivers, but Bowe won't get his.
35.	Nate Washington	@ JAX	Jaguars have a weak secondary, but Britt cutting in to production.
36.	Eddie Royal	v. NYJ	Emergence of Lloyd should help Royal produce.
37.	Mike Sims-Walker	v. TEN	Titans surrendering 21 fantasy points per week to receivers.
38.	Derrick Mason	@ NE	While Boldin gets the attention, Mason should see more production.
39.	Louis Murphy	@ SF	Emerging as top WR, but Campbell starting hurts value.
40.	Jabar Gaffney	v. NYJ	Worth a shot in deeper leagues in this high flying offense.
