The sixth round was another instance of two receivers from the same team coming off the board, as both T.Y. Hilton and Reggie Wayne get drafted. I'll explain my thoughts on Wayne below, but for some perspective on how Hilton may be a bit overrated this year, check out JJ Zachariason's bold prediction about the quick receiver for the Colts.
Ari Ross grabs one of the more underrated backs in fantasy this year (especially in standard leagues, where people assume he loses value) in Pierre Thomas, who figures to be on the field most often for the incredibly consistent and productive New Orleans offense. Thomas was a better runner (according to Rushing NEP) than Zac Stacy, Giovani Bernard and Joique Bell last season, combined with heavy involvement in the most reliable passing attack in the league.
My pick: Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts, WR - Reggie Wayne's per-target production in 2013 had finally returned to Peyton Manning era levels before he was sidelined due to injury, and assuming full health, he should be a very productive player as the top target in the Indianapolis offense. He has chemistry with Andrew Luck now, and with the poor running back situation for the Colts, look for the quarterback to lean heavily on his veteran wideout this season.
