Fantasy Football Player Notes

Week 6 Rankings

Lamar Jackson Note

Lamar Jackson continues to pace the quarterback position in fantasy points. That does not figure to change much in Week 6 when the Ravens host the Washington Commanders. Washington has improved defensively in recent weeks, but they have still allowed 11 passing touchdowns. That is tied for the most in the NFL. The Commanders are also one of three teams yet to intercept a pass this year. Throw in a likely shootout against a potent Washington offense and Jackson's rushing ability, and we can see another 30-plus fantasy point performance out of Jackson this week.

Jayden Daniels Note

Rookie Jayden Daniels has now posted four 20-plus fantasy point games across his first five NFL contests. Lamar Jackson is the only other quarterback to match that level of consistency this season, and only Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold (yes, really) have three 20-plus point games. Daniels looks to be in store for another big day against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Baltimore has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks thus far this season. The Ravens are also a top-five run defense, making them a bit of a pass funnel. Even if Daniels' rushing output is capped a bit in this matchup, he should more than make up for it in the passing game. Keep Daniels locked into lineups as a high-end QB1 in Week 6.

Jalen Hurts Note

Jalen Hurts has gotten off to a relatively slow start to the season for fantasy purposes. He enters Week 6 11th in fantasy points per game among full-time quarterbacks. This week brings some positives and negatives concerning Hurts' fantasy outlook. He should get back both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith this week, which raises his ceiling. However, a matchup with the Cleveland Browns is less than ideal. Defensively, the Browns have been in the middle of the pack. But they have been so bad offensively that Hurts may not be asked to do as much as he would be against a tougher opponent. Consider Hurts a starter in Week 6, but perhaps lower expectations just a bit.

Joe Burrow Note

A potent offense and a poor defense usually add up to fantasy production at the quarterback position, and Burrow is proving that to be the case. Following a blowup game in an overtime loss to Baltimore, Joe Burrow is suddenly the overall QB4 in total fantasy points entering Week 6. I am not sure Burrow has that type of ceiling in Week 6 in a matchup with the New York Giants. New York has a below-average offense and a middling defense. Having said that, he is still very much a viable fantasy starter.

Jordan Love Note

Jordan Love has thrown for multiple touchdowns in all three games he has played to start the year. Continuing that streak may be a tough task against an Arizona defense that has only allowed six passing touchdowns thus far. The Cardinals have allowed quarterbacks to rush for three additional scores, but that is not a huge part of Love's game. Love should still be a productive fantasy starter this week, but his upside may not be as high as it has been in recent weeks.

Dak Prescott Note

Dak Prescott has been solid in recent weeks, with four straight top-15 fantasy finishes. However, he has only hit top-10 status once in five games to start the year. Prescott has what looks to be a favorable matchup, at least from a volume standpoint, in Week 6. The Cowboys will host the Detroit Lions. Detroit is not quite the pass funnel they have been in recent years, but they are still allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers. This game should feature plenty of scoring on both sides, and the Cowboys still have question marks in their backfield. That means having Prescott throw the ball is still their most effective way to score points. It may not always look pretty in this game, but Prescott should provide top-10 fantasy production this week.
