Washington receiver Pierre Garcon is having an up-and-down season. The highs include an 11-catch, 138-yard game in Week 3, but he's been stuck in a low over the past two weeks, catching just four balls for 51 yards combined. He'll travel to Glendale to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Pierre Garcon
The Cardinals have been tough overall so far this year. Should you play Pierre Garcon against them for fantasy?

The Cardinals have been one of the better defenses in the NFL, but they are really banged up. Cornerback Patrick Peterson is day-to-day with an ankle injury and their best defensive lineman, Calais Campbell, has already been ruled out. That should help quarterback Kirk Cousins find some time and hit open guys.
Garcon also had to deal with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman in Week 5, so he gets a pass there. He led the NFL in targets last season and should get a heavy dose on Sunday with the Cardinals having a lot of success against the run.
Fantasy impact: Arizona has been a very friendly matchup to receivers and is the second-easiest matchup in fantasy so far. Get Garcon in your lineup.
