Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Rico Dowdle

Saturday, October 11, 8:43 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has been playing inspired football through the first five weeks of the season. The veteran has thrown for 1,290 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions while adding three rushing touchdowns thus far. He will look to stay hot in a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been good on defense this season, allowing just the 28th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks through five games. That being said, the Colts' offense has been firing on all cylinders this season, and Jones has earned the trust of fantasy managers who have him rostered. He sets up as a low-end QB1 heading into Week 6.

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle is in line to make his second straight start with Chuba Hubbard (calf) ruled out again for Week 6 against Dallas. Dowdle erupted for 234 total yards and a touchdown on 26 touches in Week 5 against Miami in his first spot start of the year. Dowdle may have earned more snaps moving forward when Hubbard returns from injury, given how well he's played. Dowdle and the Panthers should be successful moving the ball on the ground again on Sunday versus a Dallas defense that has allowed 4.5 yards per carry and the seventh most PPR points per game to opposing running backs this season. Dowdle should be fired up as a borderline RB1 for Week 6.
