Fantasy Football Start Or Sit Week 6: Will Darrel Williams Get Enough Touches For The Chiefs?
(CBS Boston) -- Having one of the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive skill players in your fantasy lineup can certainly help your scoring output. But that hasn't necessarily been a guarantee this season. While Patrick Mahomes has generally been consistent (turnover issues not withstanding), other players have had off-weeks. It's been feast or famine with receiver Tyreek Hill. Travis Kelce picked up just two points against the Philadelphia Eagles. And running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire sometimes seemed to disappear from the offense.
Edwards-Helaire is now on injured reserve with a knee injury. Darrel Williams is set to take over the starting spot. Is he in for a big game against a Washington Football Team defense that can't seem to stop anyone this season? Or will he struggle to get touches with so much other talent on the field?
CBSSports.com's Jamey Eisenberg, Dave Richard and Heath Cummings Sr. have broken down the Week 5 matchups and come up with their best options for you this week. The full list of players is below.
