Week 6 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: AJ Green and 3 WRs You Must Start

John RozumOct 13, 2011

Usually each week in fantasy football, everyone has at least one WR that plays very well. However, having that No. 2 WR get some solid points is what can significantly increase your odds at winning.

Chances are all three of these WRs are not available in your league, but if you happen to have them, start them at the No. 2/3/flex spot this week, because it will pay off.

So here they are: three WRs you must start in Week 6.

AJ Green, Bengals (vs Colts)

Even though he's a rookie, AJ Green is clearly the best weapon on the Bengals' offense and is providing much needed skill out wide.

This week Cincinnati hosts the 0-5 Indianapolis Colts, a team that despite giving great effort, is simply no match for Green and company.

On the year, Green has 24 catches for 402 yards and has scored three TDs.

Against Indy, expect him to get at least 125 yards on eight catches as well as score two TDs, because with too many injuries and a lack of talent, Indianapolis gets blown out on the road in Week 6.

Hines Ward, Steelers (vs Jaguars)

He may only have 20 catches for 190 yards and just two TDs, but Pittsburgh's Hines Ward should get the start this week.

Sure, the Jaguars may have a respectable defense that can slow down the Steelers at first, but they will be doubling up on Mike Wallace and the Steelers' D will have the Jags backed up all day.

In turn, Ward finds a lot of soft spots across the middle and inside the red zone.

He doesn't blow out for big numbers (should get around 80 yards and a TD), but it's enough to be effective and score you some nice backup fantasy points.

Santana Moss, Redskins (vs Eagles)

If there's a strength on the Philadelphia Eagles, it's their pass defense. However, their weaknesses are the run defense and pressuring the QB.

Therefore, Santana Moss will start off slow against them in Week 6, but once the Redskins establish a solid ground game, Rex Grossman will be given the green light from Mike Shanahan.

Much like Ward, Moss won't put up insane numbers (expect around six catches for 70 yards and one TD), but it's going to be a lot better than starting someone like Brandon Marshall, who's not going to receive any looks.

At least Moss has his starting QB under center. Even though Rex is flaky, he's better than Matt Moore (just using Miami as an example).
