Jordan Love and Drake Maye rise in Week 6 fantasy projections
Jordan Love and Drake Maye are among the biggest risers in Week 6 fantasy projections.
Love has passed for 1,408 yards and 10 touchdowns in five games, and a strong matchup against Dallas supports his higher outlook.
Maye has become a recommended starter after improving in recent weeks, despite facing the Jets.
Four teams—the Lions, Bengals, Vikings and Dolphins—are on bye, reducing the pool of available players and lowering projected scores.
Injuries and byes could force fantasy managers to make difficult choices to fill their lineups.
Dameon Pierce’s value depends on whether Saquon Barkley and Will Shipley are available: he could be a top-20 running back if both miss the game.
Week 6 projections will be updated as more information becomes available.
Jordan Love and Drake Maye are among the players whose Week 6 fantasy football projections rose, according to CBS Sports.
Love’s increase reflects his production so far and a favorable matchup against the Cowboys.
Maye has appeared in the risers section for three weeks in a row and is now described as a must-start quarterback.
Week 6 projections are lower overall, with four teams on bye and several prominent players not projected to play.
The article says the projections will be updated as more information becomes available.

What people are saying
Unless you have Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, or Brock Purdy, you should be starting Love this week.
He's gone from someone we don't want to start at all, to someone we are maybe okay with, to someone who is a must-start QB once again.
