Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Bo Nix

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield led his team to its fifth win of the season in Week 6, beating the San Francisco 49ers 30-19. Mayfield completed 17 of his 23 pass attempts for 256 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception and added 14 rushing yards on three carries. The 30-year-old has now thrown for 1,309 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first six games of 2025. Tampa Bay entered Week 6 without wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (leg), and Jalen McMillan (neck), and then lost star rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) to a hamstring injury during the game. It's currently unclear how long the Buccaneers will be without their top four wide receivers. Regardless, Mayfield has proven himself to be a worthy fantasy QB1 on a week-to-week basis.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown as the Broncos held on for a 13-11 victory against the New York Jets on Sunday in London. The second-year quarterback also added 24 rushing yards on five carries in a game thoroughly dominated by defense. Nix's overall numbers weren't remarkable, but he also didn't commit a turnover as the Denver defense held New York to just 82 total yards and recorded nine sacks. The Broncos have a favorable schedule coming up, with Nix set to take on a Dallas Cowboys defense currently ranked 32nd in net yards per attempt in Week 7.
