Laquon Treadwell A Deep League Potential High-Volume Option For Week 6

Saturday, October 17, 1:14 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Laquon Treadwell's 14 targets combined in his last two games are hard to ignore for fantasy football, though they haven't translated into production that's made him a startable fantasy WR yet. With that much volume, he may seem like a good starting option, but his actual catches resulted in just 9.2 and 5.4 PPR fantasy points in those two contests. A matchup with the Tennessee Titans may seem solid on paper, but it could just as easily lead to a low passing volume day from the Colts. Treadwell's path to success runs through quarterback Daniel Jones, who's still recovering from an Achilles tendon tear from late 2025. The Colts may not have to produce a ton of offense to beat the Titans in Week 6, so Treadwell is a very risky start, especially since he's caught just half the passes thrown his way in Week 5 and Week 6 combined.

Skyler Bell Immediately Slots Into Intriguing Role

Friday, October 16, 10:00 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Skyler Bell went from being inactive for four weeks to handling a 61% snap share in his NFL debut last Monday. Bell was active against the Rams in the first place due to the absence of Joshua Palmer (shoulder), but then he ended up occupying an even larger role than anticipated after DJ Moore (shoulder) left the game early. Moore and Palmer are both questionable for Week 6 and beyond, but if they both end up missing time, Bell would instantly get onto the fantasy radar as a low-end WR3/flex in deeper leagues. That ranking alone is enough to justify grabbing Bell off the waiver wire for now. Even if managers can't find a realistic starting lineup spot for him in the short term, he has the ability to be a meaningful contributor full-season, especially if his teammates keep getting hurt.
