Week 6 Start ’Em: QuarterbacksStart of the Week
Justin Fields vs. Vikings (1 p.m. ET, Fox): Fields has broken out of his statistical slide, scoring a combined 61 fantasy points in his last two games (he had 39.8 points in his first three games). He should continue to roll at Soldier Field against the Vikings, who have allowed 19-plus points to three quarterbacks including two who have had more than 25 points. Fields has top-three upside this week.

Start ’Em
Kirk Cousins at Bears (1 p.m. ET, Fox): Cousins has been a consistent option for fantasy managers, scoring 19-plus points in three of his last four games. He should remain in our good graces against the Bears, who have allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks on pass plays alone. What’s more, four different opposing signal-callers have beaten Chicago’s defense for 20-plus points in 2023.
Joe Burrow vs. Seahawks (1 p.m. ET, CBS): He’s back! After averaging a mere 7.9 fantasy points in his first four games, Burrow woke up with three touchdowns and 23.4 fantasy points in a win over the Cardinals. He looked good despite the calf injury, and the performance makes it a lot easier to start him against Seattle. Their defense has allowed 22-plus points to two quarterbacks since Week 2.
Tua Tagovailoa vs. Panthers (1 p.m. ET, CBS): Tagovailoa hasn’t put up big totals in recent weeks, scoring 16.9 or fewer points in three of his last four games. Still, he’ll be a top-10 option at the position when the Dolphins host the Panthers. Their defense has been good against quarterbacks overall, but it just allowed 27.4 points to Jared Goff playing without Amon-Ra St, Brown or Jahmyr Gibbs.
Matthew Stafford vs. Cardinals (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): Stafford hasn’t been great in the stat sheets, but he seems to be good for a 14- to 16-point floor on a weekly basis. He has a nice matchup against the Cardinals, who have allowed 21-plus points to three quarterbacks including Daniel Jones and Burrow last week. In all, Arizona has allowed the fourth-most points to field generals based on passes alone.
