Fantasy Football Weekly Rundown: Week 6

Heading into week 6 of the NFL season fantasy football owners are faced with many tough decisions. There is an ever growing list of injuries and four teams on a bye, so patching together a starting line-up has faired difficult for some and it seems to get harder by the day.

As you try and piece together your week 6 line-up you will need the most up-to-date player information and we have that for you right here in the Bruno Boys Weekly Rundown (fantasy-style).

Brian Westbrook breaks two ribs Week 5, ruled out for Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook broke two ribs week 5 when the Eagles lost to the Washington Redskins. Westbrook who has already been hampered by an injured ankle has been ruled out for the week 6 match-up against the San Francisco 49ers.

Westbrook has been a huge disappointment early this season due to all the injuries. He has been limited since the ankle injury in week 3 and owners who drafted him as a top five overall pick in fantasy drafts have been scrambling to make up for the loss. With Westbrook out Correll Buckhalter will once again get the start. The 49ers have given up 128.4 YPG and 6 rushing touchdowns on the season so Buckhalter could be worth using as a bye week or injury replacement.

Kellen Winslow hospitalized, could be game-time decision Monday night

After missing two straight days of practice Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow has been hospitalized for what was an unspecified illness, but has since been rumored to be because of swollen testicles.

Winslow if currently listed as questionable on the team’s injury report. He has a 50/50 chance to start week 6 versus the undefeated New York Giants. If you have other options at tight end this week you may want to use them, unless the Browns announce Winslow fit to play by Sunday; you don’t want to wait until Monday and end up without a tight end.

Marques Colston participates in practice drills this week, return likely versus Raiders

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston has participated is practice drills this week and appears ready to return from a thumb injury suffered week 1. He has been catching balls in practice without any setback and seems likely to return for the Saints game this week versus the Oakland Raiders.

This is great news for Colston owners who have been anxiously awaiting his return. If he plays this week he will likely do so only in 3 and 4 wide receiver sets so keep expectations low. Consider him a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 this week, but he definitely will be a welcome addition to your fantasy team and will once again be a WR1 this season.
