Editor's Note: Every week, we will release the Top 150 players based on their projections for that scoring period. Use this list to compare players and help make those really tough decisions.

Sometimes, the schedule doesn't do you any favors. For instance, I've been excited to add Jamal Murray in as many places as possible this week. After a slow start that saw him struggle to get consistent playing time, Murray has broken out, scoring at least 18 points in each of his last four games, with 13 3-pointers and nine assists over that span while seeing more consistent minutes of late thanks to injuries.

He looks like a starting-caliber Fantasy player, but you won't be able to take advantage of that in Week 6 (Nov. 28-Dec. 4), thanks to the schedule makers. The Nuggets play just three games in this week, including matchups against the Heat and Jazz, two of the better defenses in the league.

Still, the Nuggets get off easy compared to the fate awaiting the Pacers, Trail Blazers, and Suns in Week 6. Those three teams have just two games on the schedule this week, which is going to lead to some difficult decisions for Fantasy players.

For instance, the only player on any of the three rosters ranked higher than 100 is Damian Lillard, typically a top-10 candidate in any given week. He comes in just 76th in our projections for the week. He is also likely to be the only must-start player out of these three rosters for the week, which highlights how difficult this is for Fantasy players.

Paul George, for instance, comes in at just 109th overall, and that might be generous. The Pacers don't play until Wednesday in Week 6, but George was ruled out for the team's next three games last week, a span that reaches to Wednesday's game. They get three days off before their next game, Saturday, but there's no guarantee George will even play in that game. Even if he does, he's a borderline play this week.

Lillard should be in all lineups this week, and you can probably find room for C.J. McCollum, Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker in your lineup too. However, Jeff Teague, Myles Turner, Brandon Knight, Maurice Harkless or anyone else who might be Fantasy relevant on any other given week almost certainly won't produce enough to make up for the schedule this week.
