Sportswire/Steph Chambers/Getty Images; Ron Schwane/AP; Rachel Mendelson/Insider The NFL season is in full swing. Each week, we’re listing players to start or sit in fantasy football. Here are our Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Ems for Week 6 of the NFL season.

START: Tom Brady, QBTom Brady calls out his protection ahead of a play against the Kansas City Chiefs. AP Photo/Alex MenendezWeek 6 opponent: at Pittsburgh SteelersDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,300 / FanDuel — $7,500Why you should start him: The Buccaneers offense has come to life a bit in the past two weeks. Visiting the struggling Pittsburgh Steelers, who are starting rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett against one of the best defenses in the NFL, Brady and company could benefit from a few turnovers and short fields heading into the red zone.

SIT: Justin Herbert, QBJustin Herbert looks to throw against the Jacksonville Jaguars. AP Photo/Marcio Jose SanchezWeek 6 opponent: vs. Denver BroncosDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $7,000 / FanDuel — $8,200Why you should sit him: Justin Herbert looks like he’s back in solid health, but the Broncos defense is a tough matchup, and with Keenan Allen’s status for Monday night’s game still up in the air, it might be best to sit Herbert for now so you aren’t scrambling for points during the final game of the week.

 START: Leonard Fournette, RBLeonard Fournette take a hand-off from Tom Brady. AP Photo/Tyler KaufmanWeek 6 opponent: at Pittsburgh SteelersDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $7,400 / FanDuel — $8,500Why you should start him: Leonard Fournette has had an up-and-down season, but he’s found the end zone three times in the past two weeks, and should be able to get there again this Sunday against the Steelers. START: Melvin Gordon, RBMelvin Gordon makes a run against the Las Vegas Raiders.

AP Photo/David BeckerWeek 6 opponent: at Los Angeles ChargersDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,400 / FanDuel — $6,800Why you should start him: With Javonte Williams going down with a season-ending injury, this game should be Melvin Gordon’s chance to prove that he deserves to hold on to the top spot in the Broncos backfield. Gordon has struggled with fumbles early in the year, and with Denver bringing in reinforcements at running back, Gordon will need a big game to keep his spot atop the depth chart. Against a Chargers defense that has gotten roasted by opposing rushers to start the year, he has a great opportunity to do it.

SIT: Najee Harris, RBNajee Harris makes a run against the Buffalo Bills. AP Photo/Adrian KrausWeek 6 opponent: vs. Tampa Bay BuccaneersDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,000 / FanDuel — $6,200Why you should sit him: It’s difficult to believe that the Steelers offense will find much success against the Buccaneers this week.

Tampa Bay already has one of the better run defenses in the league, and will be able to commit even more resources than usual to stopping Harris assuming they don’t fear getting beat over the top by Kenny Pickett. START: Kenneth Walker III, RBKenneth Walker III runs for a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints. AP Photo/Derick HingleWeek 6 opponent: vs.

Arizona CardinalsDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $5,400 / FanDuel — $6,500Why you should start him: Pete Carroll loves to run the ball, and with Rashaad Penny now out for the year, Kenneth Walker III is the lead back in Seattle. Walker might not be priced this cheaply for much longer, so daily fantasy players should take advantage of the value while they can. SIT: Kareem Hunt, RBKareem Hunt makes a run against the Los Angeles Chargers.

AP Photo/Ron SchwaneWeek 6 opponent: vs. New England PatriotsDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $5,700 / FanDuel — $6,000Why you should sit him: The Browns might have the best rushing attack in football, but Bill Belichick excels at stopping one-dimensional teams. Look for the Patriots to do everything they can to hold up Cleveland on the ground and dare Jacoby Brissett to beat them in other ways.

START: Allen Lazard, WRAllen Lazard celebrates a touchdown against the New York Giants. AP Photo/Kin CheungWeek 6 opponent: vs. New York JetsDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,000 / FanDuel — $6,200Why you should start him: The Packers are in need of a big win to wash the taste of last week’s loss to the Giants out of their mouths.

It’s a good get-right game for Green Bay, and Allen Lazard is very clearly Aaron Rodgers’ top target downfield. SIT: Terry McLaurin, WRTerry McLaurin runs with the ball against the Tennessee Titans. AP Photo/Daniel Kucin Jr.

Week 6 opponent: at Chicago BearsDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $6,100 / FanDuel — $6,500Why you should sit him: After Sunday’s loss to the Titans, Commanders head coach Ron Rivera placed blame for the team’s lack of early success squarely on the shoulders of quarterback Carson Wentz. While Wentz will undoubtedly try to respond with a big game, it’s tough to imagine that happening given that he is playing through injury, on the road, against a stout defensive front. If Wentz isn’t playing well, chances are Terry McLaurin isn’t either.

START: Brandon Aiyuk, WRBrandon Aiyuk escapes a tackle against the Carolina Panthers. AP Photo/Rusty JonesWeek 6 opponent: at Atlanta FalconsDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $5,400 / FanDuel — $5,800Why you should start him: Brandon Aiyuk has had steady, but not stunning production to start the year. While he’s found the end zone just once so far this season, he looks poised for a breakout game against a Falcons defense that is giving up more passing yards per game than all but three teams in the NFL.

SIT: Diontae Johnson, WRDiontae Johnson runs after a catch against the Buffalo Bills. AP Photo/Matt DuriskoWeek 6 opponent: vs. Tampa Bay BuccaneersDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $5,700 / FanDuel — $6,300Why you should sit him: Again, it’s tough to imagine the Steelers moving the ball well against the Buccaneers.

Johnson has plenty of talent as an outside threat, but Kenny Pickett needs to prove that they can connect on big plays before Johnson’s fantasy value rises back to its preseason levels. START: Darnell Mooney, WRDarnell Mooney makes a circus catch against the Minnesota Vikings. AP Photo/Stacy BengsWeek 6 opponent: vs.

Washington CommandersDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $4,800 / FanDuel — $5,800Why you should start him: This is something of a bold play, as the Bears have still largely held back Justin Fields from throwing the ball downfield. But Darnell Mooney has come down with some pretty big catches the past two weeks, and it feels like Chicago will draw up a big play or two for him in front of the home crowd. SIT: Mike Williams, WRMike Williams runs with the ball against the Cleveland Browns.

AP Photo/Kirk IrwinWeek 6 opponent: vs. Denver BroncosDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $7,400 / FanDuel — $7,900Why you should sit him: Mike Williams missed practice on Wednesday due to illness, and is likely to be keyed by the Broncos defense should Keenan Allen remain unable to play. It’s tough to bench a player like Williams if you have him on your roster, but at the very least, be cautious of how much you expect out of him this weekend.

START: Evan Engram, TEEvan Engram is tackled by the Houston Texans defense. AP Photo/Phelan M. EbenhackWeek 6 opponent: at Indianapolis ColtsDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $3,500 / FanDuel — $5,200Why you should start him: Evan Engram had a whopping 10 targets last week against the Texans, and the Colts have been a pretty friendly defense for fantasy tight ends to start the year.

When these teams met in Week 3, Engram had seven receptions on eight targets, but failed to find the end zone. If he scores this week, he’ll be a solid play. SIT: Kyle Pitts, TEKyle Pitts is brought down by the Los Angeles Rams.

AP Photo/Ashley LandisWeek 6 opponent: vs. San Francisco 49ersDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $4,200 / FanDuel — $5,500Why you should sit him: Kyle Pitts has likely been the most disappointing player in fantasy this year. While Pitts says he expects to play against the 49ers on Sunday, it’s tough to trust that he will be all that productive given how much of a no-show he’s been so far this season.

Until he comes back with a big game, he’s not the man you want starting at tight end. START: Chicago Bears defenseWeek 6 opponent: vs. Washington CommandersDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $3,300 / FanDuel — $3,300Why you should start him: The Bears defense was able to hold the fort against the 49ers at home in a downpour in Week 1.

Chicago wants to shorten the game and control the ball, and should shut down a Washington offense that is already sputtering. SIT: Los Angeles Chargers defenseKhalil Mack brings down Davis Mills for a sack. AP Photo/Eric Christian SmithWeek 6 opponent: vs.

Denver BroncosDaily fantasy price: DraftKings — $3,100 / FanDuel — $4,000Why you should sit him: The Browns were able to run all over the Chargers last week, and it feels like the Broncos might be able to do it again this week in primetime.
