Great week for the Fantasy Index (Andy) team last week, as I cracked the top 100 and have now climbed into the top 200 overall. If I had simply started Jason Witten instead of Jordan Cameron, well, I would have been a lot higher. That said, I've still got a lot of people to catch, including a couple of fellow Indexers. Indexees? Whatever.
This is our weekly Fantasy Index Subscriber Super League competition. Each week you pick your best lineup of 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 2 TEs, and 2 PKs. You can enter at this link. You're competing against Fantasy Index staffers and your fellow readers, and you can win prizes, both weekly and overall.
Here's the Week 6 lineup.
Quarterbacks: Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. I imagine some people will back off Manning this week since Denver will win easily and Manning will spend the second half on the sidelines. I'm comfortable believing he'll throw for 300 yards and 3 TDs before that happens, and you can't sit that kind of player down. Brees is on the road against New England, the Saints may lose but he'll be fine.
Running Backs: Matt Forte and Arian Foster. I know I'm starting Foster who should put up huge numbers against the Lambs. Forte has a great matchup against the Giants, and he'll stay there unless I forget to submit my lineup in time. If I do, it'll be Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch or Doug Martin -- lots of good choices this week.
Wide Receivers: Demaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant, Reggie Wayne. Definitely using Thomas and Bryant, pretty much every week. Wayne is a probable against San Diego's poor secondary, although I might instead use Steve Smith against Minnesota, another fine choice. A.J. Green should be good, too.
Tight Ends: Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski. Yada yada yada.
Kickers: Matt Prater and Stephen Gostkowski.
Good luck to the rest of you.
