Week 6 Top Fantasy Football Pickups
Andre Williams RB - New York Giants
Rashad Jennings left injured Sunday and in stepped Williams. He showed everyone he's a beast, scoring his second TD in as many weeks while rushing for 65 yards. Many are reporting that Williams will likely get more carries when Jennings returns from injury and could be a solid flex play down the stretch.

Benny Cunningham RB - St. Louis Rams
Another guy benefitting from a teammate's injury, Cunningham saw carries after Zac Stacy went down Sunday. He only gained 47 yards, but had a TD and a few catches. If Stacy misses more time it will probably by Cunningham as the featured back.

Branden Oliver RB - San Diego Chargers
Donald Brown got taken out with a concussion Sunday and Oliver delivered better than Brown has in his entire career, rushing for 114 yards, catching 68 and hauling in a TD.
Ryan Mathews is out for a few more weeks and all signs are pointing that Oliver should be the go-to back in San Diego until he makes his return.

Odell Beckham Jr. WR - New York Giants
The east coast is abuzz Monday morning after the solid debut performance of this first-round pick Sunday. On paper he only had four receptions and a TD worth 10 fantasy points, but he looked great enough on the field to gain praise from nearly everyone. Manning loves Victor Cruz and Larry Donnell, but Beckham could be a good WR3, especially in deep leagues.
