Matchups We Love
QB Bo Nix
Bo Nix has been a solid QB1 option for managers this season. He has scored above 17.5 fantasy points in three of the past four games and will now have a favorable matchup against the Jets. New York has given up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs, while also allowing the 10th-most rush yards to the position. That's enough to make Nix a low-end QB1 this week.

TE Evan Engram
Evan Engram being on the love list doesn't necessarily make him a surefire TE1 this week. However, he could be a sneaky start in deeper leagues. The Jets have allowed a league-leading five touchdowns to TEs through the first five weeks, including two touchdowns to Jake Ferguson a week ago. Although Engram is playing around 40% of the team's offensive snaps, he could be a sneaky start in 14-plus team leagues.
Matchups We Hate
Justin Fields has been a fantastic value pick through the first five weeks. He has scored above 25 fantasy points in three of his four starts, and currently ranks as the QB1 in rush yards per game. However, this is a brutal matchup for him. The Broncos have allowed only 15 rush yards to opposing QBs, which included holding Jalen Hurts to three rush yards last week. So, Fields is a risky QB1.
Garrett Wilson has finished as a top-12 fantasy WR in four of five games in 2025. However, it's hard to see him finishing that high in Week 6 against the Broncos. Patrick Surtain II will likely shadow Wilson in this game, and Surtain has held both A.J. Brown (43 yards) and Ja'Marr Chase (23 yards) to under 45 yards in back-to-back weeks. That makes the Jets' playmaker more of a WR2.

Courtland Sutton has resumed his WR1 duties in this Broncos offense this season. He has totaled over 80 receiving yards in three straight games and has finished as a top-16 WR in four of five contests. But Sutton has a difficult matchup against Sauce Gardner this week. Gardner only held George Pickens to two catches last week, making the Denver WR a riskier WR2 this week.
Other Notable Matchups
Broncos RBs
J.K. Dobbins continues to operate as the lead back in this Broncos offense. He totaled a season-high 20 carries in last week's win and scored in double figures for the fifth straight game. Therefore, Dobbins will be a strong RB2 play against a Jets defense that has allowed over 95 rush yards to an RB in three of the past four contests.
As for RJ Harvey, he should only be started in 14-plus team leagues. Despite the plus matchup against New York's front seven, Harvey played just 20% of the team's offensive snaps last week. After totaling less than five carries for the second time in three weeks, he will be hard to trust in most formats.
RB Breece Hall
Breece Hall has been a solid RB2 play each week. He has scored above 16 points in back-to-back games and has reeled in at least four passes in three consecutive games. As a result, Hall will come in as a solid RB play this weekend. Even though the Broncos have allowed the third-fewest receptions to opposing RBs this season, they have allowed at least 30 receiving yards to four different RBs.

With Gardner likely shadowing Sutton in this game, that leaves Franklin in a much better spot heading into Week 6. As the second option in Dallas' offense last week, Ryan Flournoy totaled six catches for 114 yards en route to a WR13 fantasy finish. While we shouldn't expect that performance from Franklin, he can be a viable flex play in 12-team leagues.
TE Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor is certainly trending up in fantasy. He has caught 14 passes for 132 yards over the past two weeks, while having a whopping 26.6% target share during this two-game stretch. Therefore, Taylor could be a solid TE1 start in Week 6. However, expectations should be tempered for him against a Broncos defense that ranks seventh in receptions allowed and eighth in fantasy points allowed to TEs.
