Fantasy Football Week 6 Wide Receiver Projections: Pierre Garcon Becoming A Consistent Weapon

Two receivers have been dominating the NFL in 2011, and they couldn't be more different. Calvin Johnson is a physical freak; he's large, fast and can out jump almost any secondary. He's a deep-threat touchdown machine. Wes Welker is a small receiver, with jitterbug quickness and a nose for finding the hole in a defense. He's a threat every time in the open field. Naturally, they top this week's receiver projections. What about the rest of the group?

Pierre Garcon has rocketed up the charts in the past few weeks and now sits at eighth on this week's chart. He and quarterback Curtis Painter have some mojo working, and look to extend it another week. Steve Smith is seeing the benefit of having Cam Newton at quarterback and ranks eleventh. After some slow times in past seasons, the diminutive dynamo in Carolina is back.

Victor Cruz is the fresh face on the scene, and has made some spectacular catches in the past few weeks. He clocks in at fifteenth this week in the Giants battle with the Redskins. Those who have had Miles Austin are looking forward to his return this week versus the Patriots. Austin and teammate Dez Bryant should both be healthy and rank 18th and 19th this week.
