Fantasy Sleepers Week 6: Kendall Wright, Justin Forsett, Larry Donnell, Stevan Ridley, CJ Anderson Free Agent Options

Oct 06, 2014 02:10 PM EDT

The fantasy football week 5 schedule moves into Week 6 and some sleeper fantasy options from the free agent market to pick up include Kendall Wright, Justin Forsett, Larry Donnell, Stevan Ridley, CJ Anderson, Branden Oliver, Bishop Sankey, Justin Hunter, Khiry Robinson, Ronnie Hillman and Andre Williams, as those players have the chance to step up moving forward with injuries and other issues on their teams for fantasy owners.

Kendall Wright had a strong game for the Titans and he could be a solid pickup moving forward this season along with Justin Hunter. The Titans are not an offensive powerhouse team, but they finally showed some signs of life and those two WRs along with Bishop Sankey could be options for fantasy owners dealing with injuries. Justin Forsett has continued to run the ball well with Ray Rice out, while Stevan Ridley has taken over as the lead back with the Patriots.

CJ Anderson, Branden Oliver and Ronnie Hillman are all options after the starters for their teams went down this weekend. Oliver had his best game of the season with Donald Brown and Ryan Mathews out, while Hillman and Anderson could get looks from teams after Montee Ball went down with a groin injury. Larry Donnell did not have a big game this week for the Giants, but he has been excellent all season and after going for three TDs against the Redskins, he is a strong option to start going forward.

Andre Williams should be getting more carries if Rashad Jennings has a serious injury and even if it's not serious, the Giants like what Williams brings to the offense. Another player from the Giants to look at is Odell Beckham Jr., as he had a very solid debut for the team in Week 5 and could be a strong factor on offense moving forward. Ridley is another option to pickup, as the Patriots have worked on rushing the ball more and he should be the main back moving forward along with Shane Vereen.

Ridley added another 100 yard game in the win over the Bengals and he was very string and now has two games over 100 yards this season. Ridley also set a high for the season with 27 rushes and he ended up with 113 yards and a TD. Those were more rushes than last week against KC and he looks to be getting more and more touches as the season goes along. Ridley and Williams both should see more rushes in the coming weeks and they are solid sleeper options moving forward.

Travis Benjamin stepped up for the Browns and he could be a sleeper going forward until Josh Gordon comes back, as he had two TD catches against the Titans. Sankey had a team high 11 carries in the game for the Titans and while he had just 36 yards, he will continue getting touches as well. Branden Oliver had over 100 yards with Donald Brown out and he should continue getting starter carries. Kendall Wright was solid with 47 yards on six catches, but he made his impact scoring 2 TDs and that could open him up for more targets heading into the middle stretch of the season.
