The good news is that Aaron Jones and the Lions’ trio of Adrian Peterson, D’Andre Swift, and Kerryon Johnson will be returning to action. Also, a couple of committee backfields in New England (Damien Harris, James White, and Rex Burkhead) and Denver (Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay) will all be back, as well. (Update: Gordon will miss Week 6.) That helps out these rankings that are otherwise decimated by byes and injuries.

WEEK 6 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

With that said, there will be plenty of risers out of necessity this week. David Montgomery (@ Panthers), David Johnson (@ Titans), and Kenyan Drake (@ Cowboys) are all facing beatable run defenses in road games, so they will have a chance to work their way into the RB1 range. Meanwhile, Antonio Gibson (@ Giants) and Peterson (@ Jaguars) could also rise thanks to strong matchups, putting both in the top 25.

Another player to watch as a potential top-25 play is Myles Gaskin. The Dolphins second-year back continues to lead their backfield, and he had a solid game against the 49ers that included a TD. Gaskin will get a chance to play the Jets thanks to a re-shuffled schedule, so he should have a chance to put up some solid numbers in a weak matchup. The fact that he got a TD on the goal line with TD-vulture Jordan Howard benched is a good sign going forward.

Fantasy owners should get value from a frustrating committee this week, as the Bills tandem of Devin Singletary and Zack Moss have favorable matchups against Kansas City. It’s tough for both to have big games at the same time, but if it was ever going to happen, it would be this week.
