Fantasy Football Rankings Week 6: Steve Smith and Biggest Point Producers at WR
Each and every week there are receivers that make opponents cringe with each successive catch, racking up fantasy points like a machine along the way.
Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers has had a resurgence under rookie quarterback Cam Newton in 2011, making last season seem oh so far away.
Here are the three receivers I see racking up the most fantasy points in Week 6. If you have them, you are lucky. If you are playing against them, run and hide. Run and hide.

Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
3. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions
Those of you who saw Calvin Johnson play in Week 5, or at least saw highlights, probably are still stunned.
Johnson was spectacular in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears, hauling in five passes for 130 yards and a touchdown. His catches were even more impressive than his numbers.
In Week 6, Johnson faces a San Francisco 49ers defense giving up 264 passing yards per game and seven passing touchdowns on the season. The 49ers may be rising, but they still have trouble stopping the pass.
Start Megatron and he'll systematically destroy your opponent.
2. Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys
Miles Austin has only played two games (battling a hamstring injury), but he says he's 100 percent healthy after taking two games off.
In terms of fantasy points per game, Austin leads all receivers (23.60), scoring over 32 points in his last game against the 49ers.
Austin and the Cowboys face a New England Patriots defense giving up a league-worst 326.6 passing yards per game in Week 6. You don't think, maybe, Austin will have a big game?
Even if he's 90 percent, he should have a monster game.
1. Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers
Steve Smith already has more receiving yards (609) and touchdowns (3) under Cam Newton than he did all of last season under, well, whoever was the quarterback.
Smith has the third-most fantasy points among receivers and he faces an Atlanta Falcons secondary that is giving up 294.2 passing yards per game and nine total passing touchdowns.
You know Newton will be firing at will to his most trusted target in Week 6 and we can only hope that Smith and Newton do the "Dirty Bird" dance when they find the end zone. Always a classic.
