Jordan Love Rises to Top Three in Week 6 QB Projections
In Week 6 of Fantasy football, the focus shifts to replacing quarterbacks Jared Goff and Joe Burrow, who are on bye. Kyler Murray and Malik Willis are also unavailable, impacting leagues that allow multiple quarterback starts. The situation is further complicated by the uncertain statuses of Lamar Jackson and Caleb Williams, along with underperforming players like Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts.
Among the surprises this week, five of the top 12 quarterbacks in projections were not drafted in the top 12 during August. Kirk Cousins, who was undrafted in many leagues, has thrown 12 touchdown passes and is set to face a struggling Bills defense. Meanwhile, Jordan Love is projected as a top-three quarterback, benefiting from a high volume of passing attempts due to the Packers' struggles in the running game.
Love's performance has been notable, averaging 37 pass attempts per game with a completion rate of 7.6 yards per attempt, alongside 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. Only Josh Allen and Brock Purdy are ranked higher than him for this week. Full Fantasy football projections for all positions will be updated throughout the week.
