New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 32 of 46 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He took five sacks but also rushed for 26 yards. Although the Jets are 0-5 this season, Fields has been quite productive from a fantasy perspective. In the three games where he has been fully healthy, Fields is averaging 28.2 fantasy points. He has seven total touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, though he also has two lost fumbles to his name. We've known about his rushing ability for quite some time, but we're also starting to see flashes of what he can do throwing the football -- even if it comes in garbage time. The Ohio State product is a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 for Week 6 against a strong Denver Broncos defense.

Denver Broncos Quarterback Bo Nix had a solid outing in which he faced the undefeated reigning Super Bowl Champion Eagles on Sunday. While he ended the day with the win after showing impressive game management to close the comeback window on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and company, he completed 61.5% of passes for 242 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 22 yards on three attempts in Sunday's 21-17 win. There was quite a bit of duress in the pocket as Nix was sacked twice, but he showed good poise in clutch moments down the stretch. This should inject confidence in him as he will face the New York Jets in Week 6, who just gave up four touchdowns through the air to the Dallas Cowboys.
