Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: Quarterbacks /

Welcome to Week 6 of the fantasy football season!

It’s time to start thinking about setting your lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 6 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At the quarterback position, you’ll see a big move up for Joe Burrow after he finally put up a nice stat line last week. Justin Fields is back in the top five after two big games in a row, and Justin Herbert is in the top seven against the Cowboys. On the downside, Jared Goff is on the road and falls out of the top 15 quarterbacks.
