Week 6 Quarterback & Tight End Rankings: Must-Start QBs, Risky Plays & TE Sleepers (Ep. 2265)

0:00 Welcome into Fantasy Pros. This is the Week 6 Quarterback and Tight End Ranks episode. I'm Chris Welsh. I've got Pat Fitzmaurice and Andrew Erickson. We're going to be looking at the top 12 of both positions, digging a little bit deeper, and trying to get you guys all locked in for Week 6 on the ranks. All of that and in between with a couple of my dearest buddies.

0:21 And we are going to jump right into this bad boy. If you guys want to follow along, go to fantasypros.com slash rankings. You can check out all the positional ranks. All the different formats from standard to half to full. You can see dynasty. You can check the flex rankings. Go and peruse it and they will update throughout the week as well, especially for like half PPR for the ranks contest. But that's what we're going to be referring to today. And also know that there could be a few changes as the week goes on and more analysts and more experts start to submit their rankings. All of that done. Let's look at the quarterback big board, gentlemen.

0:55 We've got Josh Allen coming in at number one. Oh, my boy, Brock Purdy coming in at number two. Coming in at three is Matthew Stafford, followed by Drake May, Jordan Love, Dak Prescott. The bottom half is Jaden Daniels. Doesn't matter how many arms he has. He just continues to run. Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, Tyler Shook, Patrick Mahomes, and Bryce Young. Most of these are, you know, pretty locked in, especially kind of that like top 10 area.

1:19 I don't think there's a ton of questions people are dealing with. But let's actually talk about Jalen Hurts though. Hurts actually moved from 11 a day ago and he's jumped up to nine. He's got Carolina. Both of you guys have moved Hurts outside of your top 12. Things have not been good. We speculated on the wide receiver ranks episode, Fitzy, that Deontay Smith might be back and how much that potentially could help. But Fitzy, you've got him at 14. Erickson's at 13. Fitz, why don't you kick off Jalen Hurts not being a QB1 this week?

1:53 Hurts is completing 57.8% of his throws this season. Over the last two weeks, without Devontae Smith, 49.3%.

2:00 6.2 yards per.

2:00 Pass attempt on the season, just 4.7 yards per attempt the last two weeks. And Jalen Hurts, yeah, he'll get a lift if Devontae Smith is back this week. And he had Dallas Goddard come back last week. That helps. But he is not moving the needle as a runner anymore. He has one touchdown run this season. He had 46 rushing yards in week one. Since then, he's averaged 15.3 rushing yards per game. And I hate to tell people this, the tush bush is gone. That is not coming back.

2:33 This Eagles offensive line is a mess. Lane Johnson retired. Cam Juergens got traded. The Eagles are starting a bunch of rookies. They cannot do the tush push. You are not going to get eight or nine freebie touchdowns out of Jalen Hurts this year. And when you don't have that, he is not a good enough pure passer to be a top 10 quarterback. So, I mean, I've got him QB 14. I think he's playable in the right situation, but...

3:02 I would not want to be leaning on Jalen Hurts as my QB1 the rest of the way.

3:06 Erickson, you're kind of co-signing this at QB13, not as a QB1. This bill of goods, we were sold on like, oh, the offense is going to change and this and that. And it just, it looks the same inefficient and like, you know, no creativity, but then just add in like one of the worst offensive lines. So it's like, okay, how can it get much worse? And this has culminated into very early on in the season, first third of the season, it started taking him to be a not QB1.

3:34 So Erickson, talk to us about Hurts this week.

3:38 It's also not improving, right? Everything is getting worse for Jalen Hurts as the season progresses, when you're thinking, oh, a new offense, things are going to gel. Things can't gel when every single week you're playing with less to work with. It's like every single week, oh, we'll lose this offensive lineman, or we'll lose this receiver, or what's the big challenge? His fantasy boys have gone down straight for five straight games. The rushing is not there. The O-line is broken. He still needs these weapons back. We still don't know if Devontae Smith is going to be playing.

4:03 I think the thing that's really interesting the most from this game and what happened last week with Hertz, so he averaged 2.53 seconds to throw against the Jaguars. That was the second quickest mark of his career. Despite that, he was pressured on 55% of his dropbacks. So like the fact that he's getting the ball as quick as humanly possible and he's still getting pressured on half or more than half of his dropbacks just goes to show like, dude, like, he's working with everything he can. So I think that the, if you're trying to be bold with her, it's like he just runs and you're just hoping that he turns back the clock a little bit and just starts scrambling a lot. And that's how he gets his fancy production.

4:39 But to Fitz's point, like he's not getting the tush push opportunities anymore. So he's got to be scoring from outside the one yard line on some of these plays. So that's why I think that he's a top 15 quarterback. Cause I can't just, he can still, he's still still capable as a rusher, even though we didn't see it and it hasn't been there consistently this season. But the Carolina Panthers aren't the worst defense in the world. I think it's Hurts. Really, the debate is, do I play Hurts, who I drafted as my fantasy quarterback, or do I pick up a streamer this week? Like, that is really the debate. And I think that if your roster allows you to pick up a streamer and use him over Hurts, because Hurts does have some upcoming matchups, I don't necessarily

5:14 want to drop Hurts because I know that he has rushing ability and he will be getting some of these guys back. And there are good matchups coming up. Again, Carolina this week, Dallas, the Knick after the command, like, So I don't want to just like dump them off ahead of some of these good matchups, but if you have the roster space and you can pivot, I think that's probably the move. Cause there's nothing encouraging about what we've seen from this Eagles offense this year that suggests, oh yeah, Dan hurts smash start even against a defense like Carolina. Yeah.

5:41 I mean, I'm even looking at some of the streamers just to throw out that, uh, two streamers come to mind. You've got Kirk cousins. Who's been like a top 12 fantasy quarterback going against Buffalo. And he's ranked 14. And I know this is lower down there, but like Aaron Rodgers is one we'd have a conversation about. Would either one of those guys, Erickson, be players you'd be comfortable like trying to pick up and then just sitting Hurts?

6:05 I'm going to guess you probably have Rodgers below Hurts and maybe Kirk Cousins is the answer. But is that like the range of what you're talking about streaming over Hurts?

6:13 Yeah, I think that Kirk Cousins, I'd feel comfortable doing that, assuming that I have the bandwidth on my roster. The thing with me is these guys are so closely ranked that I don't want to necessarily sacrifice a roster spot that I may value more just for Kirk Cousins to score three more points than Jalen hurts, right? Like that necessarily to me, isn't enough of a reason to lose an extra roster spot and drop a running back receiver, et cetera, to pick up a second quarterback or something along those lines. When hurts again, he next week against Dallas, right?

6:45 You're going to want to probably play Jalen hurts next week against the Dallas Cowboys. So That's why I'm hesitant to just tell people to drop him.

6:51 Fitzy, just real quick. Cousins, Winston, Rodgers, any of those guys, if you had the space to be able to pick up another quarterback, would you stream over Hertz this week?

7:02 The only one I have higher than Hertz is Winston, one spot higher. But as Erickson said, I'm not going to drop a player to make that exchange to go to a quarterback I've.

7:11 Ranked one spot higher.

7:13 I mean, maybe Devontae Smith, if he's back this week, that makes a big difference. but yeah, it's been pretty, uh, like the, the Kevin Petillo, Sean Mannion exchange. I keep thinking of the, uh, the Alex Jones before and after picture with, uh, he looks the same, but just one version is tan and the other is not like it's, it's the same offense, man.

7:36 It's terrible.

7:37 I like that one where it's like the guy standing here and then the after is him just standing behind, like, like further back in the house by the glass window. And it just like, that one makes me laugh. That's a good, that's a good reference. Tyler Shuck. Tyler Shuck, bad last week. He comes in as QB 10. He's got the Giants. You both are also not buying this.

7:58 Jalen Hurts out. Looks like Tyler Shuck also kind of an out. Erickson, why don't you kick this off? I believe you have him at 14. Was what we saw last week a little bit what we're in for? Because I mean, there was a lot of like past volume stuff and Chuck is a top 10 guy and there was kind of exposed last week and your rank signifies maybe you're worried that that is going to continue.

8:20 Yeah, being compromised on the offensive line has been a big issue for the New Orleans Saints. Tyler Chuck has been under more pressure and I think they got to try to run the ball somewhat against a defense that can be beat on the ground with the New York Giants. We talked about Kendra Miller on the running back show as a top 30 consensus play this week. because I think that the Giants defense is going to take a play out of the Brian Flores approach here with blitzing.

8:44 Since week three, when the Giants lost Brian Burns to a season-ending knee injury, the Giants have blitzed on 58% of the drop back since week four, trailing only the Minnesota Vikings, led by Brian Flores, the madman himself. Tyler Shuck against the blitz has been buns. 5.4 yards per attempt at six lowest, 7% explosive pass play rate, That's second lowest. So you're not going to be generating these chunk plays when there are defenders in his face from the get-go. And that has been the case over the last couple of weeks without Calvin Banks. So I think that this is a fringe spot for Shuck. Any game with Jameis Winston on the other side in weather, that's, I got to check the forecast because you got to

9:23 check all these with all these New York games and Commanders games playing in the rain. The forecast looks good. So there is always a chance that if this game gets fun from a Jameis Winston interceptions, both teams have If they're put in certain circumstances, they will drop back to throw a ton. So I think there is a ceiling case for Shuck if things kind of get wacky.

9:41 But in terms of like his meeting projection, I think that he is a little shaky. And I think QB 10 is really buying more into, oh, yeah, he's just going to go back to being the upside case when I think there is actual risk here with Shuck again.

9:53 Fitzy, obviously talk on Shuck. But let me ask you, who would you rather start this week, Tyler Shuck or Jameis Winston?

10:01 I'd start Winston. I've got him ranked two spots higher. Um, it, Over the last two games, Tyler Shuck has averaged 5.2 yards per pass attempt with one touchdown pass, two interceptions. Now, obviously, his performance against the Vikings last week, really bad. He just melted like a grilled cheese sandwich against Brian Flores' defense.

10:21 Under 100 passing yards, two interceptions. But Shuck was not especially good in Week 4 either against a pass funnel Falcons defense. that didn't have A.J. Terrell, their best cornerback. Chuck has 286 yards against the Falcons in that game, but he needed to throw 48 passes to get there. And I really do think, as Erickson alluded to, the absence of Kelvin Banks, their young stud, first-round draft pick, left tackle, not having him out with his ankle injury, that's a problem against a team that can get after the passer like the Giants can.

10:58 Oh, Tyler Shuck and oh, Jameis Winston. Jameis Winston also getting multiple shout outs here. Real quick, Fitzy, did you want to give any quick nugget? Because you've mentioned him a couple of times. We did have him as a name we might have hit, but you've mentioned him starting him over Hurts and Shuck.

11:12 Yeah, I don't want to get too overexcited about Jameis Winston because we know the drill. He could get you 28 points or he could get you six because he throws four interceptions. But Winston has thrown three touchdown passes each of the last two games. And last week, the Giants, after kind of managing him and not letting him be YOLO Jameis, they cut him loose last week, 54 pass attempts.

11:36 And Jameis has been clicking with Malik Neighbors and Isaiah Likely, both of those guys, at 11 catches last week. And it's a pretty good matchup against the Saints. I know the Saints' run defense has been atrocious. It ranks dead last in DVOA. But the New Orleans pass defense ranks 27th in DVOA. It's just a bad all-around defense. So wouldn't be surprised if Jameis had another good game this week.

12:00 The final quarterback I want to hit here in the top 12 is Bryce Young. Now, this is a quarterback that you guys have both higher than the consensus. He comes in at QB 12. He's going against the Eagles in the wide receiver episode. I think we've kind of broken down some of what that looked like between Jalen Coker and Tedderall McMillan and the Eagles defense here. But Erickson, you've got him at eight. Fitzy's got him at 11. Erickson, talk to us about Bryce Young here because it's a nice aggressive rank you've got on him. You kind of liked both of those wide receivers. And obviously, not only if we stick with the theme, he's starting over Shuck and Jalen Hurts, but you're starting him over quite a

12:34 few players. So what's got you positive with Bryce Young against the Eagles?

12:39 I mean, Bryce Young has been playing lights out the best ever. start to his NFL career, the best ball he's ever played in the NFL with the buy-in. They're throwing the ball more aggressively under the new play caller. And when he has Jalen Coker healthy and upright, this Carolina Panthers offense is absolutely cooking. If you look at with Jalen Coker on the field this season, nine yards per attempt, second best in the NFL. So that can't be overstated how much having that extra receiver does for this offense. They're getting potentially key offensive linemen back this week.

13:11 The Eagles are coming off a absolutely embarrassing loss internationally without a bye week. against a team coming off of a bye week. This is one of these things that we look at from a betting perspective where you always bet against that team that played the international game and has to play immediately the next week, especially when the other team is playing off a bye. And they actually needed that bye week. Now you can make the argument, okay, maybe this will cool off the hot start for Bryce Young.

13:37 I don't think so, man. This Eagles defense is so overrated. 300 passing yards allowed, back-to-back games, seventh in passing yards allowed per game this season. We talked about Coker and how he's going to absolutely cook in the slot against Cooper Dijon, who's just not been the same type of guy in coverage this season. So Bryce Young, I don't, I didn't know if he qualified as a streamer because I guess like he was on a bye week and maybe he got dropped and people are not believing. I mean, it's real and it's going to continue, especially as he good.

14:03 I think this is a good matchup for him, honestly. So I get, you see Eagles on the road and you think, oh man, it's kind of like a tough spot. I don't think so. Like from what we've seen from the Eagles defense and the Panthers offense this year, I'm giving the advantage all to Bryce Young in Carolina. So I like Bryce. That's why I'm 2B8.

14:18 Fizzy, what do you think about that offensive defensive adjustment here of the old Eagles defense being great, not looking good, and giving the lean to the Carolina offense? What do you think about Bryce Young? You've got him at 11, one spot higher than ECR.

14:30 Yeah, and I feel like I should almost be up where Erickson is. But the crazy thing is, Walsh, if you would have asked me two months ago, six weeks ago on the eve of this season, where I thought I would have Bryce Young ranked in week six against the Eagles in Philadelphia. I would have said, how many, how many teams on by that week for that? Probably 26th or 28th. And now I've, I've got him. I'm like trying to figure out ways to get them inside the top 10. Um, yeah, the Eagles just aren't a matchup to be feared. Like we thought they would be.

15:02 I thought this would be one of the best defenses in the NFL and it's not anything close to that. And, um, yeah, Otherwise, just co-assign everything Erickson said. Like, he's QB3 right now in fantasy points per game. And, you know, they've had Dave Kanellis and Idzik have had a week to prepare, an extra week to prepare with the bye, going against a team that is coming off an international game. So, yeah, I totally agree with what Erickson said. And I think I need to get my ranking of Bryson up closer to where Erickson has him.

17:39 The big board, top 12. We've got Brock Bowers at one, of course. George Kittle comes in at two. Trey McBride at three. Isaiah Likely up at four. Tyler Warren and Tucker Kraft, that's your top six. The bottom half, Dalton Kincaid, Travis Kelsey, Dallas Goddard, Jawan Johnson, Harold Fannin, and Brenton Strange.

17:57 Let's talk about Travis Kelsey. Coming off of the bye, he comes in at tight end eight. Fitzy, you've got him at six. Erickson, you've got him right at ECR at eight. Fitzy, talk to us about Travis Kelsey coming off the buy in expectations. He's just kind of right back into a good start. And you know what I'm really curious about in talking about this? Where does Travis Kelsey fit along the line of like sit it and forget it type of tight ends? Is he the last line and then it goes to guys like Goddard and Johnson?

18:23 Or there are a few under Kelsey that are the core tight ends that you just feel good about every single week?

18:29 I think he's in the set it and forget it range just because he has not done anything enough to shake your confidence in him yet. If you drafted him and hasn't had you thinking about streaming, well, until last week, until you maybe picked up a tight end. But then I don't know. I think you just go right back to Travis Kelsey. And I realize Kelsey has had five or fewer targets in three of his first four games.

18:54 So the target volume hasn't been great. He did have The one big game where he had, what, nine catches for 101 yards and a touchdown against Indianapolis. And the Colts do get battered around by tight ends. So I just, Tyquan Thornton out for the year. Rasheed Rice tweaked his hamstring in week four. I'm not sure what his status is going to be.

19:17 Did not practice Wednesday.

19:18 Did not practice Wednesday.

19:19 Yeah, so there you go. I mean, that's kind of why I was anticipating when I first did rankings. And I haven't really changed Kelsey since I first did rankings. But knowing that Rasheed Rice might not be himself or might not even play this week, I think the target outlook for Travis Kelsey is pretty good.

19:37 Erickson, what do you think about Kelsey and that line of like, does he belong in the core tight end group or does he follow along? Because, you know, there's like the core guys. You just it's like, great. Then there's that next group. I kind of think Jawan Johnson fits in that next group.

19:50 Where you're like, we're cool. He's not like the best.

19:52 And then there's the group of just like, oh, God, you know, is Kelsey in that core group or does he does he belong closer to the Jawan Johnson's of the world?

20:00 I think he's in that core group specifically for this spot. I mean, I think Fitz hit the nail on the head talking about he hasn't really done anything where you would kind of lose confidence in him. The targets have not been there the last couple of weeks, but now you have a reason to believe they'll bounce back if the receivers don't play. The fact that Rashi Rice isn't practicing after a bye week, this dude's not playing, right?

20:19 Like this is like so classic. If they don't play on Wednesday or practice on Wednesday when they had a full week off, they're probably not going to play. So unless we see any more information about it. So you can obviously make that decision. But right now I would move Kelsey up probably closer where Fitz has him at six.

20:34 just because the targets will now be there due to the lack of wide receivers, chargers. Derwin James is not, he's hurt right now. So that would be the only reason you look at this maybe as a bad matchup. Well, he's not playing. So Travis Kelsey should see solid usage efficiency. He's not always going to rip off a lot of big plays after the catch, like he's done for most of the season. But as an older guy, 37 years old, coming off a bye week, he'll be fresh. So I think that this will probably be one of Kelsey's better games, just given the Opportunity for targets. He's fresh, well rested, and it's a good matchup.

21:07 The note, by the way, I see is not only did he not practice to the hamstring. This is from Sleeper Chiefs that Andy Reid said it could be a week. It could be two when talking about the hamstring issue. So that's less than optimistic. One hundred percent. Speaking of that, like next group where, you know, they're still they're good, but there's a little bit of level of uncomfortability there.

21:30 Harold Fannin, he comes in at tight end 11. You guys are both higher. This is a four-star graded matchup against Baltimore. And Erickson, why don't you kick us off? Harold Fannin disappeared a little bit, gets going with Watson, disappears again. Where are you at on the Baltimore matchup and Fannin for this week?

21:49 So Fannin is one of the tight ends that he doesn't feel like he's in the super trust tree, right? Because it has been a little bit up and down type of performance with Deshaun Watson. as his quarterback, but he has paid off in some circumstances with the touchdowns. We know his role is elite, right? He plays all the snaps. He runs all the routes. He has one of the highest route participations among tight ends, which is honestly sometimes just enough for them to be productive. But now you have an avenue for him to actually see an uptick in targets because I find it very unlikely that Casey Concepcion plays in this game after suffering a brutal concussion last week. And what does that open up in the offense? underneath targets for Harold Fannin. If you

22:29 look at the average depth of target for both Fannin and Casey Concepcion this season, they're nearly identical. So I think Fannin absorbs a lot of those short to intermediate looks that Concepcion was getting. And this matchup is perfect for that. Teams don't throw the ball downfield against the Ravens.

22:47 League low 4.1% of opponents passing attempts have traveled at least 20 air yards against the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, Kyle Pitts was productive against the Ravens. If he could do it, And so can Harold Fannin. So I'm right at ECR, but I would not be surprised if he outdoes tight end 11. And I think Fitz agrees with me because he has him higher.

23:04 Yeah, Fitz, you got him at eight. So talk to us about your thoughts on Harold Fannin this week.

23:09 Yeah, so I'm a little conflicted here about the matchup. On one hand, it seems like it would benefit Fannin to not have Casey Concepcion in the lineup and have that enhance Fannin's target outlook. The one thing I worry about is that You know, the Ravens have ace safety slash slot cornerback Kyle Hamilton. And I wonder if maybe with no Concepcion, the Ravens just kind of have Hamilton on Fannin for a lot of this game. You know, and obviously there are a lot of things you can do with Fannin to try to move him or unmotion him or, you know, have him in a stack with one of the receivers.

23:51 I just.

23:52 I worry about that matchup a little bit. Ultimately, it comes down to me thinking that Fannin is just awesome at football, and I want him inside my top 10.

24:01 Not so awesome at football, at least this year, is the final tight end we're going to talk about, one you don't see on the top 12, Colson Loveland. Erickson has been rolling over the touchdowns for Jameer Gibbs on BP, and it's been a really fun thing. If you've rolled over, this is the week for Colson Loveland to break out.

24:22 You're going to continue having to roll it over, and the payoff has not been there. Will it ever be there? He is ECR 14 this week. Fitzy, you are the optimistic share with the head shake. You got him at 10, but it doesn't happen. It's just not happening. It's not a thing. Colson Loveland has not been a thing for five weeks. You have him at tight end 10, so it's week six, finally the Colson Loveland week.

24:45 Yeah, I feel like I have to play back some of the highlights from late last season to remind myself how good Colston Loveland was in those games, that I wasn't just hallucinating him catching all these passes and just rampaging through secondaries over the latter part of the Bears' schedule. So I'm ranking him in the top 10 at tight end 10 based on the assumption that Caleb Williams is back this week against the Falcons in their extreme season.

25:14 pass funnel defense. The Falcons are still facing the highest pass rates.

25:19 Of any team.

25:21 Basically, offense is throwing on the Falcons nearly 70% of the time. If Caleb is not back, I'm probably going to have Loveland ranked more where Erickson has him because we saw last week the pretense about Tyson Bajent being one of the top 32 players quarterbacks in the league.

25:40 Probably not true.

25:41 I think we can dismiss that little myth after what we saw in Green Bay last week. But yeah, if Caleb's back, though, I still am going to have Loveland inside the circle of trust this week.

25:52 Erickson, he's not in your circle of trust. He is 14. So talk to us. Obviously, there doesn't seem to be a lot of optimism here. And let me ask you this. He's 14 too high for Colson Loveland.

26:06 Not with four teams on by and the fact that he does play all the snaps, runs all the routes, because that's sometimes all you need, a tight end. And he is a positive touchdown regression candidate, right? There are so many times you can be tackled at the one yard line and be so close to a touchdown and then it gets reversed. He's seeing a decent chunk of red zone targets and end zone targets. So it is very possible that he could bail you out with a touchdown.

26:28 I think that's more likely to happen with Caleb Williams under center. I'm just less optimistic about Caleb Williams actually playing in this game, especially when the Patriots or excuse me, the bears have a quick turnaround and have to play on Thursday night, I believe against the Patriots. So I think that they're going to hold Caleb Williams out for one more week and maybe Loveland can turn around there, but I want to see it first, man. Like it's been, it's been bad. Like, and he's played, it's not for a lack of snaps or routes. It's he's not getting targeted.

26:56 And the one game that he played in full with Caleb Williams was, That was arguably his worst game of the year when he did absolutely nothing. So I'm not so sure Caleb Williams will be his knight in shining armor.

27:06 Erickson, Brenton Strange is ranked 12 on ECR, not with a great matchup. Do you co-sign starting Brenton Strange over Colston Loveland?

27:15 Yes, because Trevor Lawrence knows Brenton Strange is on the team and will throw him the ball.

27:19 There you go. There's your Colston Loveland. There's your tight ends. There's your quarterbacks.
