**Subheadline: As bye weeks and injuries wreak havoc, fantasy football lineups are looking shaky. Experts point to a surprising tight end sleeper and a top-tier wide receiver facing a tough matchup.**

Fantasy football managers are facing a Week 6 filled with difficult decisions as injuries and bye weeks continue to decimate rosters. What started as promising teams are now resembling Frankenstein’s monster. The experts at FantasyPros have offered up some advice to navigate the treacherous waters.

**Sleeper Alert: Jake Tonges Could Be a Week-Winning Play**

Trevor Land of FlurrySports is touting San Francisco 49ers tight end Jake Tonges as a sleeper start. With George Kittle still sidelined, Tonges has seen an increase in targets, racking up 16 looks in the last two weeks and scoring three touchdowns in only five games this year. “While he does have a low floor, the tight end position is always volatile. With one touchdown being enough to make him a solid play, Tonges has as good a chance as any to do that,” Land said. Fantasy managers in need of tight end help might consider taking a flyer on Tonges.

**Star Wide Receiver Facing Potential Disappointment: Garrett Wilson**

The news isn’t all good, however. Several experts are advising caution when it comes to starting New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Terrell Furman Jr. of FantasyPros warns of a difficult matchup against the Denver Broncos’ stout defense, particularly Patrick Surtain II, who has previously limited Wilson’s production.

Mike Fanelli, also of FantasyPros, notes that much of Wilson’s fantasy production comes late in games during “garbage time.” More importantly, he highlights that the Broncos’ defense has been exceptionally tough on opposing number one wide receivers, allowing limited receptions and yards. “Unfortunately, Wilson will likely finish Week 6 outside of the top 24 wide receivers,” Fanelli predicted.

Luke Renton of The Franchise Tag UK echoes this sentiment, citing both the tough matchup and the Jets’ projected offensive struggles. “The Jets face the Denver Broncos this week, an elite pass defense that is likely to deploy a premier shadow corner against him, drastically lowering his ceiling. Furthermore, the Jets’ offense is projected to have one of the lowest team totals of the week.”

Fantasy managers are advised to carefully consider their options before locking in Garrett Wilson for Week 6.
