Week 6 NFL fantasy quarterback rankings: Top QB streamers, starts

[ASFN Admin]

It's always good advice for fantasy football managers to check the matchups before selecting a starter for the week. But recently, there have been a few defenses that have shown the ability to turn a streamer into a top-tier starter.

Take, for example, C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans. He hadn't thrown for more than 233 yards or two touchdowns all season, but against the Baltimore Ravens, Stroud rolled up 244 yards and four scores to finish as the QB1 for Week 5.

The Ravens and Cowboys have been the most consistently favorable defenses for quarterbacks, so don't be surprised if Matthew Stafford (at Baltimore) and Bryce Young (vs. Dallas) perform exceptionally well.
