8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 6
With Tom Brady under center, James White becomes a much more attractive play. Which other under-the-radar players could put up good numbers in Week 6?

Richard Rodgers, TE, Green Bay Packers

With Jared Cook injured, Richard Rodgers played 91% of the Green Bay Packers' offensive snaps in Week 5, drawing 5 targets in the passing game -- including two in the red zone. His general lack of volume gives him a low floor, but he also offers strong upside in a good matchup this week.

Per Scott Barrett of Pro Football Focus, the Dallas Cowboys have allowed 30% of their receiving fantasy points to come to tight ends -- the second-highest mark in the league -- while they have also allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position.

Green Bay has a solid 26-point implied total this week, and Dallas ranks 26th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play, meaning the Packers' pass-catchers are in a good spot this week.
