With Jalen Hurts out for Week 6, Dave Richard breaks down whether to trust Justin Herbert and which under-the-radar players to start

Jalen Hurts is out for Week 6, while Justin Herbert faces a difficult matchup as Fantasy managers navigate injuries and byes Fantasy football is about finding the right matchups. Week 6 is becoming one of the most difficult weeks of the season for lineup decisions. With four teams on bye, injuries piling up and several offenses struggling to find consistency Fantasy managers are being forced to make some choices. As we have already learned through five weeks, a player's name recognition or draft position does not always translate into a spot in your starting lineup. Take Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert, for example. Both entered the season with Fantasy expectations but offensive struggles and difficult matchups make them tough to trust in Week 6.

Meanwhile, players such as MarShawn Lloyd, Germie Bernard and Denzel Boston are emerging as intriguing starting options thanks to increased opportunities and favorable matchups. That is why looking beyond the box score is so important. Defensive schemes, pass-rush pressure, offensive line play and expected game scripts can make the difference between a Fantasy performance and a disappointing afternoon. Sometimes the smartest move is to sit a name in favor of a less‑established player with a clearer path to production. We will break down every Week 6 matchup. Identify the toughest start/sit decisions facing Fantasy managers. From
