Fantasy Football Week 6: 5 Players Who Will Continue to Be Studs

This Fantasy Football has shown us exactly who the studs and duds are. But how can a fantasy owner know which players will continue to produce big numbers and which are just a fluke and will fall by the way side?

Never fear, you can look right here and this article will tell you five guys you can continue to bank on for the rest of the year.

Ray Rice

Ray Rice has been one of the most explosive and consistent fantasy producers over the last couple of seasons.

The key to his success is his ability to both run and catch the ball. Rice has averaged 135 yards per game rushing and receiving combined. That versatility allows him to produce, whether the defense is defending well against the run, against the pass or not at all.

Aaron Rodgers

This guy is playing the best football in the NFL right now. Aaron Rodgers has not missed a beat since leading the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl win last season, and he shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Rodgers has thrown for 17 touchdowns to just three interceptions and is averaging around 340 passing yards per game. Rodgers has great skill players around him that he makes even better, and he can also gain yards with his feet, making him versatile as well as dependable.

Ahmad Bradshaw

Even though he plays in a two-back system with the New York Giants, Ahmad Bradshaw has proven that he is the feature back of the two. Bradshaw has been consistent so far this season with five touchdowns and had a breakout game this past week against Buffalo with 104 rushing yards, 26 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

The Giants rely on a heavy rushing attack to run their offense. Bradshaw is a big part of that attack and will be all season.

Fred Jackson

Fred Jackson is a big part of why the Buffalo Bills are relevant again. The veteran back has rushed for 601 yards and six touchdowns this season, averaging out neatly to 100 yards and a touchdown per game.

That’s a model of consistency. Couple that with his 279 receiving yards this year and you’ve got a fantasy stud that is here to stay.

Frank Gore

He’s struggled with injuries a bit this season, but Frank Gore is still a stud, veteran running back. Playing for first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh appears to have breathed new life into Gore and the entire 49ers squad.

Gore has been extremely consistent since recovering from injury, running for over 100 yards and a touchdown in each of his last three games. In Harbaugh’s run-first offense, Gore will continue to shine.
