We’re officially five weeks into the 2024 NFL season, already zooming past the first third of fantasy football season. With the action heating up and bye weeks creating even more absences, our Week 6 fantasy rankings will highlight some top plays with a few big names on bye this weekend.
Heading into Week 6, there are a few notable teams on bye.

Plus, with injuries, our options are even more limited.
