What a great week of football. Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less. For reference, the threshold used for wins and losses in this article will be if the quarterbacks can score at least 17 points, if the tight ends can score at least eight PPR points, and if the rest can score at least 10 PPR points. Here are the Week 6 streamers.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Week 6 Streamers<\/b><\/h3>\n

          Quarterback \u2013 Sam Howell (WAS – 34%) @ ATL<\/b><\/h3>\n

          Sam Howell has become this year\u2019s version of a quarterback who is far better in fantasy football than in real life. He takes way too many sacks and turns the ball over too much but those things aren\u2019t penalized in fantasy football like they are in the NFL. Sometimes it\u2019s almost beneficial due to the fact that he has to continue to drop back to pass more often. That\u2019s exactly what happened this past week against the <\/span>Chicago Bears<\/span>. The <\/span>Washington Commanders<\/span> were trailing the entire game so they went almost exclusively to the pass game in the second half. That powered Howell to 51 pass attempts and he was able to produce 388 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. He also chipped in 19 rushing yards on his way to nearly 30 fantasy points. This week the Commanders take on the <\/span>Atlanta Falcons<\/span><\/a> who are not a strong defense. This game will also be played in a dome which is a nice boost to passing offenses. Howell is one of the better Week 6 streamers if looking for a quarterback.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Honorable Mentions \u2013 Gardner Minshew<\/b> (<\/span>IND<\/b> – 1%<\/b>) <\/span>@ JAX<\/b>, <\/span>Baker Mayfield<\/b> (<\/span>TB<\/b> – 19%) v DET<\/b><\/p>\n

          Running Back \u2013 Roschon Johnson* (CHI – 41%) v MIN<\/b><\/h3>\n

          This is one to monitor as Roschon Johnson suffered a concussion on Thursday night, but assuming he gets cleared, he should be prime for a much bigger workload. That\u2019s because starter Khalil Herbert also went down with a high-ankle sprain and is much more likely to miss this week than Johnson is. For what it\u2019s worth, every player that has suffered a concussion has missed the following week; however, none of them suffered them on Thursday night, which gives Johnson extra time to get cleared for action. Fantasy managers are crossing their fingers because this is a guy that everyone has been hoping would get more work since the beginning of the season as he\u2019s looked good in flashes. The Bears also get to take on the <\/span>Minnesota Vikings<\/span><\/a>, who are not strong on defense. On a week when the wire looks slim again, Johnson looks like one of the better Week 6 streamers at running back, even with the risk that he might not play.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n

          Per @TomPelissero<\/a>, Khalil Herbert (ankle) is expected to miss \u201cmultiple weeks\u201d after being injured Thursday<\/p>\n

          Roschon Johnson would have been the next guy up, BUT he entered the concussion protocol<\/p>\n

          HOWEVER, the rook has an extra few days to clear due to entering on Thursday night<\/p>\n
