’s Week 6 playbook opened Thursday night with Seahawks-Broncos and put Emanuel Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in lineup-lock territory. The projection had Seattle winning 23-18, a scoreline that fits the guide’s broader fantasy frame: a 40.7 over/under, a 66% Seahawks win probability and advice tailored to 12-team PPR leagues.
That matters now because the playbook is built to cut through the clutter of Week 6 start-sit calls. It lists players projected for at least 6.0 fantasy points, all D/STs and the game-by-game notes that fantasy managers use for seasonlong and DFS decisions, so the locks in this matchup carry real weight before Sunday lineups are finalized.
The numbers also explain why Jaylen Waddle is drawing attention for the wrong reasons. He had just five targets in Week 5 and turned them into a 2-19-0 receiving line, then added one carry for 9 yards. He has two games above 14 fantasy points and three below 6.5, a 21% target share, and no end zone target at all. Even with Sean Payton back on playcalling duty in Week 5, the offense still did not get Waddle’s season back on track.
That is the friction inside the guide: the volume is there in theory, but the production has not followed. Waddle has been limited to one touchdown, and against a Seattle defense that has allowed the third-fewest yards and fantasy points to receivers this season, he is no more than a flex option. Courtland Sutton lands on the other side of that same caution, with benches or waivers the recommended range.
The rest of the Week 6 board reinforces how quickly these calls can shift. The next listed game features Bhayshul Tuten, Nico Collins and Parker Washington as lineup locks, while Brenton Strange has led the Jaguars in targets over the past three weeks with 21. The rankings and projections can still move before kickoff, but for now the clearest Week 6 takeaway is that Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are the two names fantasy managers should be building around in Seahawks-Broncos.
