Week 6 Fantasy Football RB Picks

NFL: Las Vegas Raiders at Indianapolis Colts - Source: Imagn

Jonathan Taylor vs. ARI

The Indianapolis Colts are one of the best teams in pro football, and Jonathan Taylor is riding the crest of that wave. As the heartbeat of Indy, the Colts often go as Taylor goes.

In a Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, expect the running back to have another strong performance. Arizona ranks 22nd versus opposing running backs.

Josh Jacobs vs. CIN

Coming off a bye week, the Green Bay Packers are ready to hit the struggling Cincinnati Bengals hard. Cincinnati is playing without quarterback Joe Burrow, and the team is on the rocky road of a 3-game losing streak.

Ranking 32nd in stopping running backs, they have next to no chance at capping Packers rusher Josh Jacobs.

Kyren Williams @BAL

LA Rams running back Kyren Williams is also facing one of the league's worst rushing defenses this week. The Baltimore Ravens are by no means famed for their defense, and things are looking even worse this week, as they run the risk of still not having quarterback Lamar Jackson back.

Look for Williams to have a big day in Baltimore.
