Fantasy Baseball Week 6 Forecaster: April 28-May 4

Fantasy baseball's Week 6 takes us into the month of May, where temperatures should continue to rise and fantasy league standings begin to crystallize. It has been a relatively calm season thus far on the weather front -- other than the unusually cold temperatures throughout the northeast -- with only five total postponements (as of April 25), three of which have already been made up. Here's hoping that the warmer days ahead will lead to maintaining that pace.

Keep close tabs on the health of Philadelphia Phillies SP Cristopher Sanchez (forearm), who currently aligns as the team's two-start pitcher. He's the top-projected starter on the board if he's healthy enough to remain on that schedule, but Zack Wheeler would slot in for him as both a two-start pitcher and the No. 1 starter in the rankings in the event that Sanchez's April 25 throwing session doesn't go well. The team also has Ranger Suarez on track to rejoin the rotation sometime late in the week.
