Here are your preliminary week 6 starter rankings. As always, I’ve marked probable players with a +, and questionable on the injury report as a ++.

Some prominent injury situations to monitor:

–T.J. Yeldon could miss the game for Jacksonville. Denard Robinson looks ready to go and would move up the rankings.

–Carlos Hyde and Justin Forsett are both questionable, keep an eye on reports on these two through the weekend.

–Steve Smith is expected to play, but questionable with the back injury, so also something to monitor. Bump Aiken if he is out.

I’ll do a final update Sunday morning once the inactive report comes out, and update with information as it becomes available.
