With Week 6 rapidly approaching, it's important to take a reset when it comes to fantasy football. Barring injuries, there is no more guessing involved with making lineup decisions. 

We know who gets great volume and who does not. We know which matchups to target and avoid. Most of all, we know who is a viable start vs who should stay on the bench. 

Once again, there are more injuries ot adjust to from Week 5. There is another set of teams on a bye, which would include the Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans. 

Here are our Week 6 half-PPR Flex rankings, which should be applied to leagues that award half a point for every catch.

FANTASY LINEUP TIPS: Week 6 Start-Sit | Week 6 Sleepers | Week 6 Busts

Half-PPR flex rankings tips for Week 6

Half-PPR RB lineup advice: Week 6

• Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal become interesting stashes while Omarion Hampton is on IR. 
• Bucky Irving is suspected to miss more time with a shoulder injury. This means Rachaad White is a must-start in Week 6. 
• Rico Dowdle will look to have a revenge game against the Dallas Cowboys and is a must-start. 
• The Bengals' trading for Joe Flacco can be beneficial for Chase Brown's receiving game. Flacco targeted RBs 36 times in his 4 weeks as the starter for Cleveland. 

Half-PPR WR lineup advice: Week 6

• Starting Tetairoa McMillan has been frustrating. The targets are there, but the production is not. I'm calling for the breakout against the Dallas Cowboys, who allow the most fantasy points per game to opposing WRs. 
• While the matchup this week is not great, Wan'Dale Robinson needs to step up with no Nabers and potentially no Darius Slayton now. The target share alone might make him a good play. 
• Continue to start your Chargers WRs. If Hampton is to miss time, this offense will resort to a pass-heavy attack.
• Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are WRs to monitor with the Bengals trading for Joe Flacco. While it's unknown when Flacco will make his debut, it should be sooner rather than later. 

Half-PPR TE lineup advice: Week 6

• Brock Bowers is questionable heading into Week 6; head coach Pete Carroll said he's week-to-week. Bowers will likely miss Week 6, and that is why he is not in the rankings.
• Theo Johnson was targeted 7 times in Week 5 by Jaxson Dart, and now another WR is down for the Giants. Johnson is a great option at a thin position. 
• Both Harold Fannin and David Njoku are good starts after seeing how Dillon Gabriel distributed the targets in Week 5. 
• Kyle Pitts continues to be targeted by Michael Penix, and he should be in your lineup going forward. 

TOP FANTASY PICKUPS: Week 6 waiver wire 

Who are the best Half-PPR flex Week 6 sleepers?

"Bill" Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB, Commanders: The man they call "Bill" is coming off his best game as a pro. After scoring 27 fantasy points in Week 5, he'll take on the Bears, who allowed the 4th most fantasy points per game to opposing RBs before their bye. 

Calvin Ridley, WR, Titans: Ridley is coming off his best game of the season, and we truly saw that connection with Cam Ward grow. It's a great matchup in Week 6 as Ridley faces a Raiders' defense that gives up 38.5 fantasy points per game to the WR position. 

Who are the top bust candidates in Half-PPR this week?

Derrick Henry, RB, Ravens: Are we watching the fall off of Henry as we speak? It's upsetting to think about, but it might be reality. Henry has not scored more than 11 points since Week 1. Now in Week 6, he'll face a Rams defense that allows the third fewest fantasy points per game to opposing RBs. 

Darren Waller, TE, Dolphins: Everyone is going to start Waller in Week 6, and you can't blame them. However, after the electric start to the game in Week 5, Waller was not targeted a single time in the second half. On top of this, he'll face the Chargers in Week 6, who allow just 8.5 fantasy points per game to TEs.
