Week 6 of the NFL season is upon us, and we continue to await the return of quarterbacks like Drew Brees and Cam Newton. Teddy Bridgewater and Kyle Allen will continue starting in their places.
More bye weeks means a few less options each week at QB, but that really just boils down to the bottom on the player pool being a bit weaker. This week’s byes include the Buffalo Bills (Josh Allen), Chicago Bears (Chase Daniel/Mitchell Trubisky), Indianapolis Colts (Jacoby Brissett), and Oakland Raiders (Derek Carr).
Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson top the rankings per usual, and Deshaun Watson has another strong matchup coming off a spectacular game. Matt Ryan and Kyler Murray go head-to-head in a potential shootout in Arizona, as both should be popular QB plays in Week 6. Gardner Minshew should be a popular value play, returning home after a big game to face a Saints defense that’s allowed the most fantasy points to QB.
