The Kansas City Chiefs and Alex Smith will look to keep up their surprise start when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Alex Smith
Can Alex Smith keep up his torrid pace against a stout Pittsburgh defense?

Smith has arguably been the NFL’s best quarterback through five games, and for really the first time, he’s someone your fantasy team can rely on week to week. He enters Week 6 ranked third in fantasy scoring among quarterbacks.
However, three of the defenses he’s faced are ranked in the bottom 10 in points allowed to quarterbacks, including the Patriots, who rank dead last. That’s making his production look better than should be expected, which should come to a head against the Steelers, who Smith has struggled against in recent years.
Fantasy Impact: Smith gets a big test this week as he faces a Steelers defense allowing the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. As good as he’s been, keeping Smith on the bench is the smart option.
