As we approach Week 6 of the Fantasy Football season, injuries and team dynamics continue to shake up player performances. Notably, with Rachaad White (foot) listed as doubtful for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' matchup against the New Orleans Saints, rookie Bucky Irving is stepping up to fill the void. This could be the moment the young running back takes center stage in his first NFL start.

Bucky Irving: The Rising Star

Irving is showing impressive potential in his rookie season. Throughout the past few weeks, he averaged over 4.9 yards per carry, tallying 11.4 PPR points against the Denver Broncos in Week 3 and 12.5 PPR points against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4, where he found the end zone. Irving’s capabilities were further evidenced by his impressive college stats at Oregon, where he recorded 87 receptions over his last two seasons.

Given the Saints' struggles against running backs — highlighted by Saquon Barkley's 31.6 PPR points in Week 3 — Irving’s value is skyrocketing. If he can get 15+ touches this week, he has the potential for a breakout performance that could reshape Tampa Bay's backfield dynamics.

Quarterback Sleepers: Jared Goff and More

One quarterback to keep an eye on this week is Jared Goff, who is set to face the Dallas Cowboys. Goff is riding high after delivering a remarkable performance against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4, where he amassed 31.2 Fantasy points. His ability to connect well with his receivers, combined with a favorable matchup against the Cowboys, makes Goff a reliable low-end No. 1 quarterback option.

Moreover, the trend shows that three of the last four quarterbacks playing against Dallas have posted over 20 Fantasy points, enhancing Goff's sleeper potential.

Daniel Jones: Time to Trust?

Another potential sleeper is Daniel Jones of the New York Giants. With a recently impressive outing in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks, Jones completed 23 of 34 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns. Facing a porous Cincinnati defense ranked 30th against quarterbacks, he might just be the consistent starter you need in your lineup.

Rookie Caleb Williams: Rising to the Challenge

Chicago’s Caleb Williams is another player catching attention this week after a solid performance against the Carolina Panthers. As he heads to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars – who are struggling against quarterbacks this season – Williams could be a sneaky starter for those looking for a surprise boost.

Running Back Recommendations

Players like Antonio Gibson, who stands to benefit from Rhamondre Stevenson’s absence due to injury, are also noteworthy. Even if the Texans' defense is tough, Gibson's receiving ability could lead to significant Fantasy points in PPR leagues.

Wide Receiver Picks

On the receiving end, Darius Slayton with the Giants is another name to watch as he steps into a higher role after Malik Nabers was ruled out. Slayton's recent performance indicates he can be trusted as a high-end No. 3 receiver.

Tight End Spotlight

Lastly, Tyler Conklin, playing for the Jets, is emerging as a potential low-end starter in all leagues, particularly given his recent target uptick. With tight ends typically involved in short routes, he might be an asset against a Buffalo defense that has struggled against the position.

In this week’s matchups, there are plenty of sleepers to consider that may give your Fantasy team the edge it needs. Keep these players in mind as you finalize your lineups!
