Week 6 Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em

Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers (vs. CIN) [DraftKings DFS Value: $6,200]

Love barely ranks inside the top-15 fantasy quarterbacks in points per game, but he’s coming off his best statistical effort of the season—337 passing yards and three scores two weeks ago against the Dallas Cowboys. The Bengals have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season.

Drake Maye, New England Patriots (at NO) [DraftKings DFS Value: $5,900]

Maye is quietly having a solid season for fantasy managers—the second-year pro is seventh in fantasy points among quarterbacks after five weeks. The Saints have been a plus matchup for the position—New Orleans is surrendering the seventh-most fantasy points per game to signal-callers.

Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts (vs, ARI) [DraftKings DFS Value: $6,000]

Writing anything negative about the Golden God that is Daniel Jones is a fantasy felony in 2025—he’s eighth in fantasy points among quarterbacks. But the Cardinals have been a surprisingly poor fantasy matchup for quarterbacks this season, giving up the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (at CAR) [DraftKings DFS Value: $6,500]

Prescott has been a productive fantasy asset, at least in part because the Dallas defense can’t stop anyone, so Prescott has to try to win shootouts every week. That’s probably not going to be the case in Carolina this week, so Prescott’s passing stats likely won’t be as gaudy in Week 6.

Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers (vs. DAL) [DraftKings DFS Value: $4,800]

Young is a tough player to start in fantasy right now—he’s had one fantasy-relevant outing in five games. But the Dallas “defense” has made every quarterback they have played look good—the Cowboys are allowing a whopping 284.6 passing yards per game, far and away the most in the league.
