Fantasy Football Week 6 Rankings: Quarterback

The byes aren't terrible this week for QBs (Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, Andy Dalton, Tyrod Taylor), but there are still enough injury worries (Derek Carr, Marcus Mariota) that the Week 6 fantasy QB rankings don't feel all that strong. The decline of Ben Roethlisberger and the decimation of Eli Manning's receiving corps doesn't help, and those two factors might force some fantasy football owners to the waiver wire for a streamer.

If that's your game, there are a couple options, as Trevor Siemian (vs. Giants) and Jacoby Brissett (@ Titans) have played well and have solid matchups. Other than that, it's last week's top waiver guy, Deshaun Watson, who's rocketing up the ranks thanks to huge games and a home matchup against the Browns.

The toughest guy to rank is Alex Smith, who keeps putting up great numbers but faces a brutal matchup against the Steelers this week. It's tough to doubt him too much given the weapons at his disposal and his mastery of the Chiefs offense, but we see at least 12 QBs we like better this week -- perhaps more if Carr and Mariota get clean bills of healthy and can practice this week.
