Hayden Winks releases Week 6 wide receiver rankings and projections
Fantasy analyst Hayden Winks outlines his top wide receiver picks for Week 6, highlighting Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Drake London among the highest-projected performers.
Hayden Winks, the author of the weekly "Blueprint" column, published his Week 6 wide receiver rankings for fantasy football on Yahoo Sports. The list ranks Puka Nacua (vs. Arizona) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (at Denver) at the top with projected 89.5 receiving yards each, citing their high target shares and favorable matchups against defenses that have allowed significant points to opposing receivers. Drake London (vs. Chicago) follows, noted for maintaining a 31% target share and consistent 95-plus yard games.
CeeDee Lamb (at Green Bay) and Christian Watson (vs. Dallas) are placed next, each projected at 79.5 yards. Winks points to Lamb’s steady 101-yard average and Watson’s elite efficiency despite a lower draft position. Chris Olave (at New York Giants) and Nico Collins (at Jacksonville) round out the top eight, with projections of 79.5 and 69.5 yards respectively, based on recent target volume and defensive rankings.
The column also includes projections for other receivers such as Mike Evans (vs. Washington), Zay Flowers (at Cleveland) and Malik Nabers (vs. New Orleans), each with projected receiving yards ranging from 59.5 to 69.5. Winks notes injury updates, defensive strengths, and implied team totals that could affect fantasy output.
Winks reminds readers that the rankings are updated through Sunday morning and that full positional rankings are available on his site. He advises fantasy managers to monitor injury reports and defensive matchups before finalizing lineups.
