2011 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings: NFL Week 6

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 6 2011 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.

1.  Calvin Johnson vs. San Francisco:  Niners are giving up 264.4 passing yards per game. 

2.  Wes Welker vs. Dallas:  Slowing him down meant five catches for 124 yards last week. 

3.  Greg Jennings vs. St. Louis:  Rodgers spreads the ball around, but Jennings keeps making big plays.

4.  Miles Austin @ New England:  Should be healthy to face the Pats’ league-worst pass defense (326.6 ypg)
 

5.  Mike Wallace vs. Jacksonville:  Wallace is averaging 107.2 yards with three TDs.
 

6.  Hakeem Nicks vs. Buffalo:  Teams are going to have to pay a little more attention to Victor Cruz which should help Nicks.
 

7.  Roddy White vs. Carolina:  White continues to get a ton of looks and should see more with Julio Jones banged up.
 

8.  DeSean Jackson @ Washington:  Followed up 171-yard game with 86 yards and a score. They’ll need him as they try to get on track.
 

9.  Steve Smith (CAR) @ Atlanta:  Throw out his stinker and he’s averaging 148.5 yards in the other games. Falcons giving up 294.2 ypg.
 

10. Dez Bryant @ New England:  Bye week should help along with Pats’ horrible pass defense.
 

11.  Stevie Johnson @ New York Giants:  After two quiet weeks I expect to hear from Stevie.
 

12.  Jeremy Maclin @ Washington:  Averaging 92 yards the past four weeks with three scores.
 

13.  Reggie Wayne @ Cincinnati:  Garcon has four TDs the past two weeks, but Wayne showed a better rapport with Painter this past week.
 

14.  Marques Colston @ Tampa Bay:  Made nice progress with five catches for 69 yards. He should be back in fantasy lineups.
 

15.  A.J. Green vs. Indianapolis:  Averaging 90.3 yards with two touchdowns over his past four games. Colts giving up 254.2 ypg.
 

16.  Santonio Holmes vs. Miami:  Getting plenty of looks. Against an inferior Miami team he’ll turn those into receptions.
 

17.  Santana Moss vs. Philadelphia:  Averaging 11.5 fantasy points in non-PPR leagues with an average of 5.25 catches per game.
 

18.  Percy Harvin @ Chicago:  Could be having a solid season if it weren’t for horrible QB play.
 

19.  Victor Cruz vs. Buffalo:  Averaging 123 yards over past three weeks. Costly slip sealed G-Men’s fate. Will Eli freeze him out for it? Probably not.
 

20.  Jordy Nelson vs. St. Louis: He’s hit or miss because the Pack spread the ball around so much. Feels like a good week for Jordy as he’s been better at home.
 

21.  Anquan Boldin vs. Houston:  Only averaging 55.5 ypg with one 100-yard game in his past 17.
 

22.  Brandon Marshall @ New York Jets:  Will still get a ton of looks with Matt Moore. Needs to cut down on the drops.
 

23.  Mike Williams vs. New Orleans:  Has 15 catches in past three games. Will eventually deliver.
 

24.  Deion Branch vs. Dallas:  Had one stinker and another salvaged by a touchdown, but has been active in other three.
 

25.  Pierre Garcon @ Cincinnati:  Two straight two-touchdown games.
 

26.  David Nelson @ New York Giants:  He’s been quiet the past couple of weeks, but Donald Jones’ injury should increase his looks.
 

27.  James Jones vs. St. Louis:  Monster game last week and a score in the past two games.
 

28.  Mike Thomas @ Pittsburgh:  Tough draw against Pittsburgh, but he gets a ton of looks.
 

29.  Plaxico Burress vs. Miami:  Dolphins giving up 2.25 passing touchdowns per game.
 

30.  Darrius Heyward-Bey vs. Cleveland:  DHB averaging 107.5 yards over the past two weeks.
 

31.  Kevin Walter @ Baltimore:  Five catches for 81 yards and a score with Andre Johnson out. Should be active again.
 

32.  Robert Meachem @ Carolina:  Big game potential, but has had at least four catches every game this year.
 

33.  Danario Alexander @ Green Bay:  You know St. Louis will throw a lot.
 

34.  Lance Moore @ Carolina:  Brees throws a ton too making all Saints WRs a risk. Big game potential to though.

35.  Mario Manningham vs. Buffalo:  Showed he’s back and more involved in the offense but has yet to have a big game. Could be due.

36.  Michael Crabtree @ Detroit:  Should see more looks with Josh Morgan out.

37.  Johnny Knox vs. Minnesota:  Quiet on MNF but should be active against Vikings.

38.  Antonio Brown vs. Jacksonville:  Quiet considering Big Ben’s exploits, but averaged 69.7 yards Weeks 2-4.

39.  Greg Little @ Oakland:  Gets the start and becomes a sleeper play.

40.  Hines Ward vs. Jacksonville:  Big game last week, but not a big part of their offense.
