QB Preview
Numbers to know
42.5 -- Joe Flacco's 42.5 drop-backs per game are second only to Mac Jones. Wherever he has been, he has been a high-volume passer.
3.7% -- Sam Darnold 3.7% off-target rate is the best in the NFL. The only thing holding him back in Fantasy is his low pass volume most weeks.
14 -- Trevor Lawrence has had 14 passes dropped this season. No other QB has had more than 11 passes dropped.
8.6 -- Daniel Jones is averaging 8.6 yards per attempt. Only Darnold and Lamar Jackson have been better by this metric.
17 -- Drake Maye has been sacked 17 times this season. Only Cam Ward has been sacked more.
8.5 -- Patrick Mahomes has averaged 8.5 air yards per attempt, the third-highest mark in the league. He was ranked near the bottom of the league in this metric last year.
28.2 -- The Baltimore Ravens are giving up the second-most FPPG to opposing QBs. Expect Matthew Stafford to keep producing like a top-six QB.
135 -- The Atlanta Falcons are only giving up 135 passing yards per game. They'll face a big test on Monday night against Josh Allen.
22.4 -- Brock Purdy and Mac Jones have averaged 22.4 FPPG in five starts. They only have one game below 20 between the two of them. Whoever starts Week 6 is in play against Tampa Bay, who has given up the fifth most Fantasy points to QBs.

WR Preview
Numbers to Know
9.2 -- Number one wide receivers have averaged 9.2 PPR FPPG against Pat Surtain and the Denver Broncos. This is a brutal matchup for Garrett Wilson.
6 -- Davante Adams is tied for the league lead with six targets inside the five yard line. He has only caught one of them.
17.5% -- Tee Higgins only has a 17.5% target share this season. Hopefully Joe Flacco looks his way a little more often.
43.8 -- The Cowboys have given up a league-high 43.8 PPR FPPG tow wide receivers. Surely this will be the week for the Tetairoa McMillan explosion.
43 -- Jameson Williams has one game with more than 43 yards this season. I am not dropping, but I understand why you are asking.
2.97 -- Stefon Diggs is averaging almost three yards per route run. He looks like he is back as a must-start wide receiver.
11.52 -- D.J. Moore's average route depth is one of the highest in the league at 11.52, he is just not being targeted on the deep stuff.
67% -- Travis Hunter played a season-high 67% of the offensive snaps in Week 6. The breakout could be coming after a big play on Monday night.

Hamstring on a short week is tough. Will be out barring surprising uptick.

Relieved. Tired of getting the evil eye from Chase, Higgins, and Brown.
Back up quarterback is a great gig if you don't have to take snaps. He had a good run. Time for him to think about what he'll do after football.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson reportedly is trending toward missing a second consecutive game in Week 6 due to a hamstring injury.
During an appearance Thursday on SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter said the following about Jackson's chances of playing against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday:
"It's not tracking to be this week, right now, unless he somehow makes some surprising turnaround. When the Ravens practiced yesterday, he was not out there due to that hamstring injury that sidelined him last week. Let's keep in mind the Ravens have a bye after this week, so if Jackson doesn't play this week he would get two weeks of rest to rest that ailing hamstring. And it certainly seems like that seems to be the way it is tracking right now."

Hell, I have Lamar in 2 leagues and I want them to rest him through the bye. Doesn't make sense not to unless he's 100% healthy. Too easy to reaggrevate a hamstring injury.

Easier to make a run at 1-5 with a healthy Lamar than to make a run at 2-4 without a healthy Lamar.
Besides, who cares about the Ravens? I need him healthy for a fantasy football run.

Sounds like they are trending towards starting Mac again and Purdy will be out, otherwise what’s the point in even commenting on a backup QBs status

The Cleveland Browns have featured a rotating carousel of quarterbacks throughout their history and have the infamous fan jersey to prove it, so maybe it shouldn't be surprising they are paying eight different signal-callers this year.
After Cleveland traded Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals, Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac provided an updated look at the overall cap hits for the eight different quarterbacks the Browns are paying:
Deshaun Watson, $35.9 million (PUP list)
Jameis Winston, $2.2 million (Dead money)
Dillon Gabriel, $1.1 million (Active)
Joe Flacco, $999,000 (Dead money)
Shedeur Sanders, $955,000 (Active)
Bailey Zappe, $315,000 (Practice squad)
Dorian Thompson-Robinson, $171,000 (Dead money)
Kenny Pickett, $8,000 (Dead money)
And still don't have a QB.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is not practicing today. He has missed four straight practices since last week.
“We’re hopeful we'll get back Brock back soon. He’s working his tail off in the rehab process, so we'll see how that goes,” said Chip Kelly.
