Fantasy football Week 6 lineups: Start, sit and sleepers

The Bills' Frank Gore, Bears' Allen Robinson, Colts' Marlon Mack and Raiders' Josh Jacobs (among others) get the week off, so fantasy football loses far more star power than it did last week. Fortunately, there are a lot good matchups.

___

Start

1. Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks at Browns

Wilson has a method to his mad scrambling, but the ways he weaves around the pocket then pinpoints difficult throws to Tyler Lockett, Will Dissly and others look like scenes taken out of "The Matrix."

That's why it doesn't matter that on paper there are better matchups than Cleveland's defense (16th in points allowed). Teams that have had success against the Browns have mostly gashed them on the ground. Had Dante Pettis not dropped what should've been a touchdown, Jimmy Garoppolo would've become the third quarterback this season to throw three touchdowns against the Browns.

2. Todd Gurley, RB, Rams vs. 49ers
