Fantasy football Week 6 projections: Packers-Dolphins featuring Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy and Mike Wallace
We break down the Week 6 matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Miami Dolphins.


Green Bay Packers
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his teammates did such a great job picking apart the Minnesota Vikings last week that his services weren't needed to the degree that fantasy owners would have hoped. Rogers sat out a big part of the second half but still managed to throw a trio of touchdown passes to go with 156 passing yards against a Vikings team that simply couldn't get anything going. He needed just 12 completions in the game to do all of his damage, but will likely have to do at least slightly more work against the Miami Dolphins in Week 6, which is good news for his fantasy owners.
When Rodgers does hand the ball off to the running game, Eddie Lacy will be the player to watch. He broke out last week against the Vikings for his first two touchdowns of the season and absorbed multiple tackles while gaining yards after-the-fact, displaying the true power of his running ability. He'll look to continue that against the Dolphins on Sunday and hopefully find the end zone for the second week in a row. That will no doubt bring a smile to the faces of his fantasy owners and likely bring the Green Bay Packers a victory. His second straight 100-yard game is not out of the question against a Miami Dolphins run defense that has given up the second most fantasy points to running backs this season.
Miami Dolphins
Although running back Lamar Miller hasn't exceeded 15 carries in either of the team's last two games, he has been able to do his fair share of damage averaging 5.7 yards per carry so far this season. With teammate Knowshown Moreno (elbow) slowly edging his way back into the lineup either in Week 6 or Week 7, it remains to be seen how the Dolphins will split up carries between the two, but it's likely that Moreno will get more passes out of the backfield. While that does downgrade Miller's fantasy value a little bit, it shouldn't affect him too much this week against the Packers.
When quarterback Ryan Tannehill does make the decision to go down the field, he will be looking for none other than wide receiver Mike Wallace to make some big plays. Wallace doesn't necessarily rack up the receptions, but he does have the speed to create separation between himself and the cornerback defending him, so he's always a threat to find the end zone. That's especially true considering there's always the possibility of a shootout when facing off against the Green Bay Packers. Wallace doesn't practice much these days but his status for Week 6 this isn't really in any doubt and he should be good to go for fantasy owners.
