Just like for NFL teams, fantasy football owners are entering a make or break part of the season. As we enter Week 6, there are some owners that are sitting pretty, while others are scrambling to make up for some big-time injuries.

For everyone who is happy that Adrian Peterson has a new home, there is someone unhappy to hear that Ezekiel Elliott could be suspended for six-game by the NFL once again. For whichever camp you are in, there are plenty of options to help since bye weeks have begun. One place to look for help is the game between the New England Patriots and New York Jets.

The Patriots and Jets will renew their rivalry in Week 6, meeting for the first time this season. No one would have guessed that the teams would come into this game with identical 3-2 records, but that is where we stand.
