8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 6
With Tom Brady under center, James White becomes a much more attractive play. Which other under-the-radar players could put up good numbers in Week 6?

Alex Smith, QB, Kansas City Chiefs

Alex Smith is the poster boy for "un-sexy fantasy production," and there's a good chance he's available on the waiver wire for you this week.

He hasn't been especially efficient this year, but he has gotten a ton of volume with at least 33 attempts in each game this season. Smith averaging a huge 42 pass attempts per game -- the third-highest mark in the league.

Bad defenses help cover up efficiency issues, and that's exactly what makes Smith an appealing play this week. The Oakland Raiders rank 29th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play, and they have given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season.
