📈 Notable QBs with great matchups

• Best - Jayden Daniels (WAS) vs. CHI

• 2nd best - Sam Darnold (SEA) at JAC

• 3rd best - Dak Prescott (DAL) at CAR

💪 Stud potential: Dak Prescott — He’s been red-hot, averaging over 30 fantasy points across his last two games (even without CeeDee Lamb). Now he gets a Panthers defense coming off of thrashings from Drake Maye and Tua Tagovailoa. Expect another high-end QB1 finish as Prescott continues his dominant run in a very favorable Week 6 matchup.
