Who are the best Week 6 fantasy QBs?
Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts sit at the top initially due to the favorable matchups that complement their rushing fantasy points added.
Despite their erratic rushing statistics, the matchups are too tantalizing for Matthew Stafford (Rams at Ravens), Dak Prescott (Cowboys at Panthers), and Baker Mayfield (Buccaneers vs. 49ers).

Which fantasy QB sleepers should I stream for Week 6?
On the heels of his first professional win, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward draws the Las Vegas Raiders' porous pass defense. Calvin Ridley came alive in Tennessee's wild comeback victory, and with Tyjae Spears back in action, the offense might have more juice to help the rookie.
Bo Nix scraped by during the Denver Broncos' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles but should follow in many quarterbacks' footsteps in throwing air mail all over the New York Jets' secondary.
Fresh off a bye, Jordan Love's Green Bay Packers should follow the Detroit Lions in torching the Cincinnati Bengals with their own passing parade.
