It’s Week 6 and fantasy football team owners are getting a strong sense of how their teams rank in their respective leagues. For those fighting to stay on top of the standings, the Week 6 fantasy football rankings will help in setting your line-ups. Also, make sure to play the waiver wire and get the best talented players on your roster.

If you hadn’t noticed, rookie quarterbacks are making their mark too, and number one scoring offenses are trumping number one scoring defenses. Here are 32 things we learned in Week 5.
