Player analysis
Player insights
Amon-Ra St. Brown
NegativeUsage0:38
Amon-Ra St. Brown is on a bye week, forcing fantasy managers to look for waiver wire replacements.
Insight pageBucky Irving
NegativeInjury4:25
Bucky Irving is dealing with an injury that makes him less than 100%, which significantly boosts the fantasy outlook for teammate Rachaad White.
Insight pageDalton Schultz
NegativeValue24:01
Dalton Schultz is ranked as a secondary tight end streaming option behind Tyler Higbee.
Insight pageDavante Adams
NegativeUsage21:46
Davante Adams is identified as a primary target in the Rams offense, which negatively impacts the touchdown scoring opportunities for tight end Tyler Higbee.
Insight pageDeebo Samuel
NegativeUsage5:48
Deebo Samuel is used as a benchmark for elite designed target volume, with Xavier Worthy trailing only him and Puka Nacua in that specific metric.
Insight pageJake Ferguson
NegativeValue23:17
Jake Ferguson is considered a secondary tight end streaming option if Tyler Higbee is unavailable; he was previously recommended in Week 3 before being sidelined by injury.
Insight pageKalif Raymond
PositiveSleeper5:42
Khalif Raymond is a recommended desperation flex play, ranked as WR43 (five spots above consensus). He leads the Bears in targets (22) and efficiency (2.1 yards per route run) on short throws (10 air yards or less). The Falcons' defense allows the second-most receptions on short throws, making this a high-upside spot. The source also projects Raymond to record higher than 24.5 receiving yards in fantasy pick'em entries.
Insight pageKendre Miller
PositiveSleeper8:16
Kendre Miller is a sneaky start available in 70% of ESPN leagues, ranked as RB28. He is coming off a season-high 56% rush share and handled 100% of inside-the-five carries. While the Giants are stingy against RBs through the air, they allow 4.9 yards per carry (fourth-worst in the NFL). Miller is a high-end RB3 even if Alvin Kamara plays and would vault into the RB2 conversation if Kamara is ruled out. He is also projected for higher than 30.5 rushing yards in fantasy pick'em.
Insight pageKyren Williams
NegativeUsage22:19
Kyren Williams is identified as a primary target in the Rams offense, which contributes to the limited touchdown opportunities for tight end Tyler Higbee.
Insight pagePat Freiermuth
PositiveValue12:33
Pat Freiermuth is ranked higher than Tyler Higbee for fantasy purposes and is considered a better play for the week.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
NegativeUsage5:46
Puka Nacua is a benchmark for elite designed target volume, trailing only a few players in that metric. He serves as a primary target in the Rams offense alongside Kyren Williams and Davante Adams, which limits the touchdown upside for tight end Tyler Higbee.
Insight pageRachaad White
PositiveProjection4:18
Rachaad White is a strong start if he suits up and Bucky Irving is limited, as the 49ers allow the most targets (7.8) and points (12.9) per game to RBs through the air. Ranked as RB27 (six spots above consensus), White benefits from a high 51.5 over/under and the likelihood of playing from behind. Ron Stewart notes that if Irving misses time, White's value would increase by approximately five spots in his rankings.
Insight pageRashee Rice
PositiveInjury5:11
Rashee Rice is confirmed out for Week 6, which serves as the primary catalyst for Xavier Worthy's increased target projection.
Insight pageSaquon Barkley
NegativeInjury0:19
Saquon Barkley is identified as a player currently dealing with an injury, creating uncertainty for fantasy lineups.
Insight pageTyler Higbee
PositiveProjection12:24
Tyler Higbee is a recommended streaming tight end (TE16) for Week 6 against Arizona, a defense that allows the highest fantasy points per dropback versus zone coverage. Higbee ranks 12th among tight ends in yards per route run and 14th in targets per route run against zone; he is expected to produce 4-5 catches for 50+ yards. His upside is somewhat limited by the primary target roles of Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Kyren Williams.
Insight pageTyler Huntley
PositiveProjection10:40
Tyler Huntley is the QB15 and a recommended streamer, averaging 18.4 points per game over the last two seasons when starting or playing significant snaps (20+ pass attempts). He is a unique QB sneak threat, as the Ravens are willing to use him in that role unlike Lamar Jackson. However, the source advises against picking him up unless the manager specifically owns Lamar Jackson.
Insight pageTyler Warren
NegativeInjury0:21
Tyler Warren appeared on the practice report on a Friday, signaling potential injury concerns for fantasy managers.
Insight pageXavier Worthy
PositiveBreakout3:52
Ron Stewart ranks Xavier Worthy as the WR28 for Week 6, four spots higher than consensus. Worthy averages 10.7 points per game without Rashee Rice, with targets increasing from 4.7 to 6.1 per game. He leads the Chiefs in first-read targets and ranks behind only Puka Nacua and Deebo Samuel in designed targets. Additionally, the source projects Worthy to record higher than 4.5 receptions in fantasy pick'em entries.

Episode Transcript
0:00What's going on, man? Welcome back to
0:02the basement. I'm Ron and we are fully
0:05in the trenches. We have by weeks for a
0:07lot of highc caliber offenses. We have
0:09Detroit, we have Cincinnati, if you have
0:11a Justin Jefferson out there, of course,
0:13with the Vikings and Aaron Jones and
0:14Jordan Addison. And there's just a lot
0:16of players on buy. We have players who
0:18are banged up and hurt, whether that's a
0:20Saquon Barkley or we're now getting like
0:22Tyler Warren on the practice report on a
0:25Friday. There is a lot of moving parts.
0:27A lot of us are in big boy leagues with
0:29two wide receivers, two flexes, maybe
0:30you're even in a 14 teamer and it's
0:33getting dire. It is time to go to the
0:36waiver wire and put somebody in your
0:38lineup because you have an Aman Ros St.
0:40Brown on buy this week or your team is
0:43just in shambles and you're trying to
0:45sneak out a win week by week and crawl
0:48to a playoff spot. So today I have for
0:50you my week six sneaky starts and stats.
0:53This is where we go through six players
0:56all outside the top 24 at their position
0:59by consensus with the quarterbacks and
1:01tight ends. I give you a streamer, but
1:02these are guys who are under the radar.
1:04You can plug into your lineup and hope
1:06for a big day. We are dumpster diving.
1:09Not all of these are going to be
1:10awesome. And then also don't go out here
1:12and start one of these running backs
1:14over a proven stud like a Derrick Henry.
1:18Do not galaxy brain your lineup. Do not
1:19read too much into lineups. This is just
1:21simply if you're down bad, these are
1:22some players you can get. A lot of them
1:24are off of waiverss as well, just
1:27hanging out there ready to be claimed.
1:29So, with that being said, if you enjoy,
1:31leave a like, subscribe if you're new.
1:32And before we even get into it, we'll
1:35bring up the report card. Now, we
1:36skipped week five for two reasons
1:38really. First and foremost, over on the
1:41Patreon, patreon.com/rondwer,
1:43I update the dynasty rankings every
1:44single month. I figured last weekend we
1:47had an all-time bad sneaky starts
1:49episode. It happens. We're dumpster
1:51diving. We're talking through the
1:52consensus. RB48, our wide receiver 59,
1:56wide receiver 77. Sometimes they don't
1:59hit. It happens to the best of us. We
2:00take a week off. We reset and we update
2:03the dynasty rankings for the folks over
2:05on the Patreon. Now, we come back this
2:07week ready to bounce back. Last time we
2:10were here, you know, terrible. Daniel
2:12Jones is the QB30. Bill was the RB39.
2:14Mike Washington, the RB58. Uh, the
2:17conditional formatting is giving me too
2:19much respect for Darren Waller, tight
2:21end 26. All of these guys finished under
2:23the consensus besides Ryan Fenoy, who
2:26was the wide receiver 55. It was a
2:28garbage week. We throw it out and we
2:30look forward with our first sneaky start
2:32of week six. Xavier Worthy. How this
2:35works is we have a graphic here. I tell
2:39you why I like this player, how much I
2:41have him ranked ahead of consensus, and
2:43then we give a stat and some background
2:45on the player. We're going to get much
2:47deeper than Xavier Worthy. Do not worry,
2:48but I do just want to give you guys
2:50confidence. If you have Xavier Worthy
2:51out there, you can fire him up in your
2:53flex, your wide receiver three spot,
2:55something along those lines. I know
2:56people are down bad this week. You can
2:57fire him up if you need to. Xavier
2:59Worthy is my wide receiver 28. He's at
3:02home verse the Chargers this week. I am
3:04four spots higher than Consensus. And
3:05the stat here is he averages 10.7 points
3:08per game in games without Rashi Rice.
3:11Rashi Rice is out for this week. That is
3:14good enough to be the wide receiver 31.
3:16So we're talking about a wide receiver
3:17three uh point per game output over his
3:19last 20 games without Rashi Rice. And
3:21that doesn't count uh Xavier Worthy's
3:23rookie year playoff run. He was like a
3:2420 point per game guy. I'm not saying
3:26that that's what we expect, but it just
3:27goes to show that he performs well when
3:29Rashi Rice is not next to him. His
3:31targets jump from 4.7 per game to 6.1
3:35without Rashi Rice. And he also leads
3:37the Chiefs right now in first read
3:39targets. He's going to be a focal point
3:40in this game. And that's even with Rashi
3:42Rice in that sample. Xavier Worthy has
3:44led the Chiefs in first read targets.
3:46And he's behind only Puka Nua, Casey
3:48Conpsion, and Debo Samuel in design
3:50targets. That's essentially the screen
3:52game. But anything along those lines,
3:54the weird fun trick plays that the
3:55Chiefs do. Xavier Worthy on a per game
3:57basis averages more than one of those
3:59per game. and it could come in the red
4:00zone. I will say it's not the best
4:02matchup in the world. The Chargers are
4:03like middle of the road against wide
4:04receivers. The Chiefs are probably going
4:06to win big here, but you can do worse
4:08than getting six plus targets, probably
4:1110 plus PPR points from Xavier Worthy
4:13this week, and you keep it pushing to
4:16week seven. Now, we talk about our
4:18sneaky start running back here. We have
4:20Rashad White. Now, this one's really
4:22tricky. He plays on Monday night. And I
4:24say it's important because a big part of
4:25the Rashad White play is Bill Cross.
4:27Bill Cross misses. is I think Rashad
4:29White actually probably jumps up another
4:30five or so spots for me if he plays. It
4:32seems like Bill Crosky Merritt's going
4:34to be banged up and it should open
4:35things up for Rashad White. But it's
4:37also important to note that Rashad White
4:38went from a full practice on Thursday to
4:40a limited practice participant on
4:42Friday. So there's a lot of moving parts
4:43here. But if Rashad White suits up and
4:46Bill Crosky merit is less than 100%, he
4:48is an awesome play this week. He is my
4:49RB27 on the road verse the 49ers. I am
4:52six spots higher than consensus. And the
4:54stat here is the 49ers allow 7.8 targets
4:59per game to opposing running backs. That
5:01is the most in the NFL. They also allow
5:0312.9 points per game to running backs
5:05strictly through the air. So through
5:07receptions, yards, and receiving
5:08touchdowns to running backs, they are
5:10allowing a ton of points through the
5:12air. That is perfect for Rashad White,
5:14who is a receiving back. And the last
5:15time he played in a game with Jaden
5:17Daniels, it was verse the Cowboys when
5:19Rashad White had six catches, 40
5:20receiving yards, and a season high 14.3
5:23PPR points. They're going to be road
5:25underdogs in this game. They're going to
5:27have to play from behind, play up tempo,
5:29check down to the running back. And this
5:31is a game with a 51.5 overunder, tied
5:34for the third highest of the slate.
5:36Again, it's just a little bit tricky
5:37because of the Monday Night Football
5:39wrinkle. Then we have our third sneaky
5:42start. Khalif Raymond. We are going back
5:45to the well here. I should have looked
5:47up uh how available he is in ESPN. I
5:51have to believe that Khif Raymond got
5:52dropped early. I could be wrong. I could
5:55be wrong, but he's been cold for long
5:57enough. And I will say
5:59you had the magical game on
6:03Monday night with Case Keenum. Then
6:06Tyson Badant had an all-time stinker
6:08verse the Jets where he threw like three
6:09interceptions that were called back for
6:11penalties. And then this past week they
6:13went between two different quarterbacks.
6:15Now we get Caleb Williams back in the
6:17mix. And I feel pretty decent about
6:19Khalif Raymond. I say all that to say he
6:21is available in 75% of ESPN leagues. He
6:24might be out there on waiverss in your
6:26league. And if he is, you can fire him
6:28up as a desperation flex this week. He
6:30is my wide receiver 43 on the road verse
6:32Atlanta. That is five spots higher than
6:34a consensus. The stat here is that the
6:37Atlanta Falcons allow 9.4 receptions per
6:40game to wide receivers on short throws,
6:43meaning throws 10 airs or less. So that
6:45is behind the first down marker. They
6:47allow 9.4 receptions per game to wide
6:50receivers. That is the second most in
6:54the NFL. They allow 19.6 receptions per
6:56game at 10 airs or less. Total also tied
6:59for second most in the NFL. So
7:01essentially they pay they play this bend
7:02don't break defense where they will
7:04allow you to check down and take the
7:06easy target and that is what Khalif
7:08Raymond is when we talk when we talk
7:10about throws of 10 airs or less for the
7:12Chicago Bears. He leads the Bears in
7:14targets with 22 yards per out run at
7:162.1. The next best is Luther Burton at
7:181.16. So he's the volume hog in this
7:23area. He is the most efficient wide
7:25receiver in this area and 7.1 of his
7:27points per game has come strictly from
7:30this area of the field. His highest
7:32target game with nine targets came in
7:34week one with Caleb Williams. I do think
7:36this is going to be a really nice spot
7:38for him where they're not only a bend
7:39don't break defense where they'll let
7:41you take these little dink and dunks
7:42underneath, but they also are having
7:45their opponents pass 7.8% over
7:49expectation, the third highest in the
7:51NFL. So, this is a passfunnel defense.
7:53They allow the fourth most fantasy
7:54points to wide receivers when adjusting
7:56for opponent. And there should be plenty
7:58of scoring opportunities in a dome in
8:00Atlanta with a 51.5 overunder. It seems
8:03like Caleb Williams is going to play.
8:05And if he does, he is going to play.
8:07Michael Pennis is going to play. We
8:08should have some shootout potential here
8:11and a lot of targets underneath for
8:13Khalif Raymond. Now, a running back that
8:16is available in 70% of ESPN leagues is
8:19Kendra Miller. I think you can do worse
8:20than Kendra Miller. He's my RB28 on the
8:23road versus the Giants. I'm two spots
8:24higher than Consensus. Nothing crazy,
8:26but he is one of these guys that
8:28qualifies as a sneaky start. He is ugly.
8:30He is maybe still hanging out there on
8:32waiverss, but the stat here is that the
8:35Giants are allowing 4.9 yards per carry
8:37to opposing RBs. That is fourth worst in
8:40the NFL. While they allow the fourth,
8:41they allow the fewest running back
8:43targets per game, 3.4. So things tilt
8:46towards Kendrick Miller. They are pretty
8:48good through the air when it comes to
8:50running backs, but they are allowing a
8:51lot of yards per carry between the
8:53tackles. I don't know what my theory
8:55with that uh on that would be, whether
8:57it's like Arll Reese like just chasing
8:59down running backs out of the backfield
9:01or kind of how that's happening, but
9:03they are not great at defending the
9:05rush. But through the air, there hasn't
9:07been a lot of checkdowns to running
9:08backs with this Giants team. It might
9:10also be that their pass rush is so good
9:12with Aral Reese and Abdul Carter and all
9:15of the guys on their front. I was going
9:16to say Brian Burns, but he's hurt. Uh
9:18their pass rush might be so strong that
9:20a lot of times teams are opting to have
9:22a running back in to block against the
9:24pass rush. So, we'll see how this goes.
9:26But Kendrick Miller is coming off a
9:28season high 56% rush share. He had 100%
9:31of the inside the five carries. He had a
9:34touchdown in this game. The Saints are
9:36projected for the 12th most points this
9:38week. I could see him getting a
9:39touchdown, you know, 10 to 15 touches.
9:41And we also have Alvin Kamar who has
9:42logged three straight limited practices
9:44and is officially questionable for
9:46Sunday. So something to look out for.
9:48Kamar could miss this game similar to
9:50Rashad White where then that would vault
9:52Kendry Miller to the RB2 conversation
9:54even with a banged up Alvin Kamara
9:55playing in this game. I would still have
9:57Kendre as a high-end RB3. Somebody that
10:00you could put, you know, if you're in a
10:00hero RB build or you're missing Jir
10:02Gibbs this week or Aaron Jones who's
10:03been a good fillin, you can throw Kendra
10:05Miller in your RB2 spot. And I'll also
10:08say
10:11the Giants are allowing the 11th most
10:12points to opposing running backs when
10:15adjusting for opponent. That stat is
10:17from established to run. Shout out to
10:18them for having a really cool stat that
10:20adjusts for opponent, right? Because if
10:23you give up like 30 points to Jir Gibbs,
10:25it's going to skew your total fantasy
10:27points allowed, but if you adjust for
10:28your opponent, you can kind of get that
10:29stuff in check. Now, with that being
10:31said, we move on to our streamers of the
10:33week. Maybe you thought you were going
10:34to start Lamar Jackson or you lost your
10:37quarterback. I'm trying to think of who
10:38else was like a late inactive, but we
10:40have Tyler Huntley. He's my QB15. He's
10:43my QB streamer of the week. I do want to
10:44make it known guys who might be out
10:46there on waiverss that I prefer to Tyler
10:48Huntley. Jordan Love, Tyler Shuck, CJ
10:50Strad, Kurt Cousins. They are all better
10:52options than Tyler Huntley, but they are
10:54not widely available. Tyler Huntley is
10:56widely available in 98% of leagues. He's
10:58my QB15 this week on the road versus the
11:00Browns. And the stat here is he averages
11:0418.4 four points per game in his three
11:06games this season and last season with
11:0820 plus pass attempts. That's
11:10essentially if he's starting, he's going
11:12to throw 20 plus pass attempts. If he
11:13comes in for relief and throws 20 plus
11:15pass attempts, that's as good as a start
11:16in my eyes. Uh 2025 and 2026, he had the
11:19weird stint with the Dolphins or
11:21whatever. And I think the Browns for a
11:22second, but over the last two seasons
11:24with the Ravens, he's averaged 18.4
11:26points per game. That would be good for
11:28the QB14 this year. uh he finds himself
11:31in a pretty good spot here where he had
11:34three design rush attempts last week.
11:36One of those was a QB sneak where he has
11:37scored a touchdown. That's a big
11:38development. They don't do QB sneaks
11:40with Lamar Jackson, but Tyler Hunley, it
11:41seems like they are 100% fine doing it
11:44with him because he's not the franchise
11:46quarterback. Declin Doyle has shown to
11:47be an awesome play caller. On top of
11:49that, Dererick Henry is going to move
11:50the chains. Zay Flowers is going to
11:52almost carry his yards per attempt and
11:55his passing efficiency through the air.
11:57And then Cleveland is a neutral matchup.
11:58They're allowing the 16th most fantasy
11:59points to opposing quarterbacks and the
12:01Ravens are projected for the 13th most
12:03points this week despite having a backup
12:04quarterback. It is very rare that you
12:06can say that. It is very rare that a
12:08backup quarterback comes in. It doesn't
12:09tank your implied team total. The Ravens
12:12are still expected to score points.
12:13Tyler Humley's a QB sneak threat. I
12:15think he's a really good bet to hit
12:16about 15 points in this game. And then
12:20we have our final sneaky start, Tyler
12:24Higgby. If you don't have a tight end,
12:26if Tyler Warren goes down, doesn't play
12:28this week, trying to think of some other
12:30options. If you're still looking for a
12:31fill in on the Pora because he whiffed
12:33on Frier, uh I really like Tyler Higgby.
12:35I would play Fri over Higgby, but Higgby
12:37is my tight end 16. He is on the road or
12:40no, he's at home against Arizona. Uh and
12:42the stat here is that Arizona has
12:44allowed 70 plus receiving yards per
12:46game, two opposing tight ends. That is
12:48one of only seven defenses allowing that
12:50at this point. And they also allow the
12:52highest fantasy points per drop back
12:55versus zone coverage. Zone is a big deal
12:58here because Arizona runs zone at the
12:5912th highest rate in the NFL, allowing a
13:01lot of fantasy points in zone coverage.
13:04We'll see if they, you know, have the
13:06balls to go man-to-man when it comes to
13:07Puka Nua and Devonte Adams. I don't
13:09think they will, but it's a big boost
13:10for Tyler Higgby underneath because
13:11Tyler Higgby is 12th among tight ends in
13:14terms of yards per run and 14th among
13:16tight ends in targets per out run versus
13:17zone. His 1.9 yards per out run goes
13:20down to 1.52 against man. And his 22%
13:23targets per out run goes down to 14%
13:25versus man coverage. He has the seventh
13:27most yards among all tight ends in the
13:29NFL against zone coverage. He is going
13:32to eat against zone coverage and he
13:33continues to rack up yards. Really the
13:35only thing you can say about Tyler
13:36Higgby is he's not a touchdown scorer at
13:38this point because it's just going to
13:39Devonte Adams, Pukanua, and Kairen
13:41Williams. So it has to be through the
13:44air, right? like he has yet to score a
13:45touchdown this year, but his last three
13:47games 8 for 62. No, he scored a
13:48touchdown against Denver. My bad. He
13:50scored 862 and a touchdown versus Denver
13:52uh on 11 targets. That one stings
13:54because I think we might have had
13:57we might have had Terren Ferguson on
13:58this video for week three and then he
14:00got hurt and then Tyler Hy was a
14:02monster. But Philly uh five catches, 67
14:05yards and then the Bills five catches,
14:0683 yards. So you're looking at probably
14:07like four to five catches for 50 plus
14:10yards is the expectation for Tyler
14:13Higgby. This week he should be available
14:15on waiverss.
14:17If he's not,
14:19it's Slim Pickkins. I'll be honest. If
14:21it's not Fri, if it's not Higgby, uh
14:23it's Slim Pickings. I can look I'll
14:25throw out some other streamers for you
14:27guys in case if Higgby got picked up. Uh
14:29I don't expect Tyler Hunley to be picked
14:30up unless if it's Lamar manager. Uh let
14:33me see my rankings real quick. Some
14:35other streamers I'll throw out there. I
14:36don't know why I'm doing this, but I
14:37just feel like I wanted to. Uh the my
14:39next best ranked tight ends after
14:41Higgby, Dolan Schultz, Hunter Henry,
14:42Kyle Pitch, Jake Ferguson, Darren
14:44Waller, Cho Conquo. Uh now with that
14:47being said, this video is sponsored by
14:49Underdog. Use promo code Ron when you
14:50sign up and you get
14:55$5. No, you get $100 when you play $5.
14:58You also get a $10 bonus entry for 10
15:00days on pick them entries. I put one
15:03together just to have something fun to
15:05sweat over the weekend. uh higher than 4
15:08and a half receptions for Xavier Worthy,
15:10higher than 24 and a half receiving
15:11yards for Khalif Raymond, higher than 30
15:13and 1/2 rushing yards for Kenj Miller,
15:15and higher than 2.5 receptions for Tyler
15:18Higgby. We use the move the chains
15:19boost. We'll see if it hits uh play
15:22responsibly. Just something fun to sweat
15:24on the side. I hope that this helped you
15:26guys out. You can use it for DFS, you
15:28can use it for pick entries, you can use
15:30it for
15:32parlays, whatever across the board. Uh
15:34have fun. I enjoy making these videos. I
15:36hope that if you're down bad, we can get
15:39some magic because the the first two
15:40weeks we did this, we did really well.
15:42Uh we're just coming off a down week in
15:44week four. But with that being said, I
15:46appreciate y'all and I'll see you in or
15:48no, subscribe, leave a like, all that
15:49stuff. And I'll see you in the next one.
