It's hard to really go wrong at the QB position. Even in this week, one of the weaker slates because of the absences of Brees and Stafford, there are still at least 17 quarterbacks that can be trusted as a starter.
Just be sure to avoid the low-upside guys in the bottom-tier of the rankings, like Blake Bortles and Dak Prescott, and you should be fine in Week 6. These rankings will be revised throughout week, so check back often for the latest updates and analysis! Matt Ryan, Falcons vs. The Buccaneers have been the worst fantasy defense against QBs this season and prior to their bye week, they allowed Mitchell Trubisky to score With Matty Ice and the Falcons in desperate need of a win, expect him to bring his A-game. He should be able to put up a few TDs and establish himself as the top QB this week.
Mahomes is coming off his worst outing so far, but he still passed for yards and added a TD on the ground against one of the league's best defenses. This matchup with the Patriots should be an excellent Sunday night battle, but the Patriots will have a lot more trouble containing him than the Jaguars did. Jared Goff, Rams Broncos. Goff is basically matchup-proof, and the Denver defense hasn't lived up to expectations anyway.
The only glitch for Goff is that he might be without Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp as they deal with concussions. Even still, Goff should be able to put up solid numbers thanks to his other weaponry and he's posted at least 20 fantasy points in 4-of-5 games. Kirk Cousins, Vikings vs. The Cardinals just allowed C.
Beathard to throw for yards and two TDs, so Goff should establish himself as a top option even with a makeshift receiving corps. Just imagine what Kirk Cousins, averaging yards and 2. Aaron Rodgers, Packers vs.
Rodgers just had a massive yard, three TD outburst against the Lions, but a lot of that came in garbage time. He just hasn't been himself this season as he continues to deal with the knee injury he suffered in Week 1.
At some point, Fitzpatrick will start to struggle, but he's worth buying into as a No. Who should you sit and start? He'll need to score a touchdown because he has just one game with more than 45 total yards in his past three outings. He has the chance for another quality outing this week against the Broncos , who have allowed four of the past six opposing kickers to score at least nine Fantasy points. I understand if you're reluctant to bench Fitzpatrick. He's in line for another standout performance in this matchup.
Realistically, you can never sit Rodgers, so he stays in the top-six with a favorable home matchup against the 49ers, who have allowed the seventh-most FPPG to QBs this year. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers Bengals. Starting Big Ben on the road is always a bit of a risk, but he should be able to put up quality numbers again.
That's a recipe for success and makes him a top option for Week 6. Carson Wentz, Eagles Giants. Then it will be about waiting and seeing how they handle the backfield. My guess is that they will go into a deep committee, which will irk fantasy owners.
Jaguars running back owners just lot a lot of value in their backs. Chubb owners should be overjoyed with the enormous bump in value. Fantasy Football Week 13 Starter Rankings.
