Trevor Lawrence or Anthony Richardson: Who should I start in Week 6 Fantasy Football?
Trevor Lawrence and Anthony Richardson didn't meet on the field in Week 5, but these two young quarterbacks could be in a race to start for several fantasy teams on Sunday. The Jacksonville Jaguars will kick off the day with a game in London against the Chicago Bears, while the Indianapolis Colts will visit the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.
Lawrence and Richardson will face two complex defenses, and if you're trying to pick between them, this is the right place to define who should start this week.
Is Trevor Lawrence a good pick for fantasy football Week 6?
After a rough start to the season, Trevor Lawrence went off against the Colts, completing 28 of 34 passes for 371 yards and two touchdowns.
The challenge will likely be higher on Sunday, as the Bears defense has allowed only two touchdown passes from quarterbacks. They allow 7.20 fantasy points on average, which is anything but promising for Lawrence. The only quarterbacks who managed to get a passing touchdown were CJ Stroud and Will Levis.
Is Anthony Richardson a good pick for fantasy football Week 6?
Anthony Richardson will return to the court after Joe Flacco posted two remarkable performances, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 and giving the Jaguars everything they could handle the following game. He had 95 combined yards in the first half of the Steelers game before he left the field.
The Titans defense hasn't been as ruthless with quarterbacks as the Bears. They've allowed 15.50 fantasy points to playmakers but only 0.75 passing touchdowns in four games.
Whom to start between Trevor Lawrence and Anthony Richardson in fantasy football Week 6?
According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit tool, Anthony Richardson gets the edge over Trevor Lawrence. The second-year quarterback is expected to finish his game with 14.7 fantasy points, while Lawrence has a projection of 13.1 fantasy points.
Although Lawrence would get a huge advantage in projected passing yards (186.7 to 118.2) and passing touchdowns (0.9 to 0.6), Richardson has the upper hand in rushing yards (27.9 to 15.3), projected interceptions (0.2 to 0.6) and rushing touchdowns (0.8 to 0.2).
The Bears haven't been an easy matchup for quarterbacks, while the Titans aren't as dangerous. With Richardson's talents, he could make a big impact while trying to lead the Colts to another win this season.
