The fantasy football season is moving along into Week 6 and with some teams starting off terribly, fantasy owners can't afford to make mistakes on who to start and sit for matchups and some players that fit the studs and busts categories includes names like Keenan Allen,Harry Douglas, Geno Smith, Jerome Simpson, Andre Ellington, Terrance Williams, Justin Blackmon, Percy Harvin and Alfred Morris.

Harry Douglas Could end up being a fantasy stud to pickup and obviously not for this week because he has a bye, but for Week 7 he is a big option now that Julio Jones is out for the season and with Roddy White banged up as well, he is sure to cash in. Matt Ryan needs someone to throw to other than Tony Gonzalez and Douglas is the one likely to get more production out of the situation.

While he has had just 16 catches for 219 yards this season, Douglas will be the primary option for Matt Ryan and although he has had just seven catches in the past two games, the injuries to White and Jones means that he will get plenty more looks. Last game against the Jets he had just two catches for six yards, but with a bye week coming and more time to prep, he should be able to get on the same page as Matt Ryan and he could put up numbers more like the first game when he had 93 yards on four catches or when they played the Pats and he had five for 68 yards. Douglas could be a stud going forward.

Geno Smith has played better than many expected this season after taking over the starting job for the Jets and while he passed for only 199 yards on Monday night against the Falcons, he completed over 80 percent of his passes and had no turnovers after having multiple the previous week and he also tossed three touchdowns. The Jets won't be the Denver Broncos on offense ever, but with the Steelers defense looking a bit weak, he could have a nice game in Week 6. Smith passed for over 300 yards a couple weeks ago against the Bills and he could put up some solid numbers going forward.

The Vikings are playing against the Carolina Panthers and Jerome Simpson could be a nice option going forward, as he made seven catches for 124 yards two weeks ago against the Steelers in London. The Panthers looked terrible on offense last week and while they have a solid D, their secondary is a mess and he could put up some numbers, especially if Matt Cassel keeps looking his way and while Josh Freeman could end up winning the starting job, that shouldn't change much for Simpson.

Simpson has had two games with over 120 yards receiving and while he has not made it into the endzone yet, over the past three weeks he has increased his receptions and over the past two weeks he has been targeted 19 times. Alfred Morris and Justin Blackmon are also players to watch in Week 6 and they could end up being duds this week, especially Blackmon playing the Broncos, as the Jags are historic underdogs. Keenan Allen could be a stud and Harvin is not back yet, making him a bust this week.
