Fantasy Football Week 6 Rankings: Roddy White and the 3 Riskiest WRs

Chris TrapassoOct 14, 2011

Wide receivers have flourished in the NFL this season and are putting up some eye-popping fantasy numbers.

It seems like you can't go wrong with any grouping of wide receivers in your lineup this week.

You can count on guys like Calvin Johnson and Wes Welker every week.

They're money.

A few top wideouts are bit more unreliable. 

Here are the riskiest pass-catchers for Week 6.

Roddy White

White has been producing at his usual rate this season, but the Falcons' matchup with the Panthers may lead to more running with Michael Turner than anything else.

Atlanta abandoned the run in the second half last week against the Packers, and they were shut out.

Head coach Mike Smith knows he must utilize Turner to create more balance on offense and keep the opposing defense honest.

A.J. Green

Green has blossomed into a legit No. 2 WR as he's making the most out all of his catches. Green is averaging nearly 17 yards a reception and has three touchdowns on the season.

Similar to White's situation in Atlanta, I think the Bengals will focus on running the football with their punishing tailback against a poor defensive front this week.

The Colts have been gashed against the run, and Marvin Lewis will integrate Cedric Benson into the offensive plans as much as possible.

Stevie Johnson

The Bills wide receiver has had a decent start to the year, despite a putrid four catch, 29 yard performance against the Eagles last week.

The Giants secondary isn't nearly as talented as Philly's, but with Donald Jones out, it's likely that New York keys in on Johnson with extra coverage throughout.

He could still find some openings underneath. It's just impossible to tell how many times he'll be targeted while he's open, and Aaron Ross is an underrated cornerback. 

Brandon Marshall

What's going on with Marshall?

He stated this week that he's going to be a "monster" during his MNF game with Jets then said his goal was to get thrown out before halftime.

Very odd.

Matt Moore is making his first start of the year so expect Rex Ryan to throw a variety of blitz packages his way.

Extremely risky.
