If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired NumberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
FanDuel Daily Fantasy projections, Week 6: Quarterbacks
Week 6 probably isn’t a week to break out the bargain QBs in FanDuel. Here are the fantasy projections with analysis.

Here are the fantasy projections for Week 6:
Top tier
To the surprise of nobody, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is projected to the the top scorer against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts just gave up a ton of yards to the Houston Texans and even the Tennessee Titans put up big numbers against them in Week 3. After Brady, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers should also be able to dominate against the San Diego Chargers.
Bargains
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford might be the most inconsistent QB in the league. The New York Giants have given up at least one passing TD per game despite playing a number of sub-par offenses. If you really want to save some money to spend big on receivers, Buffalo Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel is just $5,500. Obviously, you can only use him in GPP. Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is also not bad, but the Lions have been a disaster.
Elite players with sub-par matchups
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck probably isn't elite anymore and he's way down int he rankings despite what should be a high-scoring matchup. Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton isn't projected to do well against the Seattle Seahawks, which is hardly a surprise.
