Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 6: Daniel Jones, Justin Fields, Geno Smith, Kenny Pickett

Week 5 is nearly in the books and NFL offenses continue to struggle. Josh Allen paced all quarterbacks in passing yards (424) and passing touchdowns (four) in a rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Commanders vs Bears Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Carson Wentz, David Montgomery, Curtis Samuel, Darnell Mooney, Brian Robinson Jr.

Things I’d rather watch over Thursday Night's game in Week 5: wet paint, dry paint, Sharknado 3D, Thor: The Dark World, and Nathan Peterman vs. Josh Rosen playing Beer Pong.
