10 QB sleepers to target for fantasy football NFL 2021 Week 6
No. 6: Taylor Heinicke vs Kansas City
The Kansas City Chiefs have some significant issues right now, and they currently reside in last place in the AFC West. This week, they go up against the Washington Football Team, a squad with a solid defense, and a quarterback who is not afraid to sling the ball downfield and make plays happen.
Against this Chiefs defense, he should have plenty of opportunities to do just that, and if this turns into a shootout, he is more than capable of putting up big fantasy numbers. Washington has weapons, and the Chiefs are sliding, making this one of the more interesting games on the Week 6 slate in terms of fantasy.
No. 5: Sam Darnold vs Minnesota
The Carolina Panthers were one of the darlings of the NFL to start the season, as they started 3-0, and their quarterback, Sam Darnold, was playing at a very high level. Across the last two weeks, not so much, as the team has lost both games, and Darnold has five interceptions in that span.
Going up against this Minnesota Vikings defense this week could spell trouble for the Panthers, but the truth is, they could be getting Christian McCaffrey back for the matchup. That changes everything for this Panthers offense, and if Run CMC is ready to go, expect a big game from No. 14 under center.
