Use these player salaries as context for building your week 6 OwnersBox lineups. With salaries being set each Monday, they cannot be changed. Injuries and depth chart movement has impacted the value of these players salary significantly.
- James Robinson is still one of the best running back values on OwnersBox right now. He’s put up some elite number the past 3 weeks, scoring 20+ points and having 15+ carries in all of them. I expect the Jaguars to continue leaning on him as the guy, and despite Carlos Hyde being there, he’s about as safe of a pick as they come.
- Darrell Henderson saw his salary go down from $6,000 to $5,900 following another great week, making him a great value just like James Robinson yet again this week. I’m not sure what else he needs to show to prove he’s a fantasy stud, but in the 4 games he’s played so far, he has 15+ points in all of them.
- If there’s ever been a week to spend up on running backs, it’s this week. I see a massive drop off from my top 15 to the rest. Besides Darrell Henderson, I would look to avoid every running back in the $5,000-$6,100 range. Either spend up, or take a couple very cheap flyers.
