The 2024 fantasy football season has already been a wild ride, and it’s only five weeks in! Injuries have altered player values, and the fall of several big-name players has made the task of ranking each position even more difficult than it’s been … maybe ever before.

With that said, here’s my positional PPR player rankings for Week 6.

There are some major movers this week, including Jordan Love (up), Chuba Hubbard (up), Amari Cooper (down) and Mark Andrews (down). For those who need help with those tough calls between players with similar value or with terrific Week 6 matchups, I’m here for you!

And when you're done reviewing the rankings, you still won't want to set your starting lineup without checking out my Start Em, Sit Em columns at every position:

All Positions: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | K & DSTs
