Daniel Jones will finish as a top-12 fantasy QB in Week 6, even if Malik Nabers is inactive: Jones has scored at least 18 fantasy points in three of the past four weeks, and he posted a season-high 22 fantasy points without Malik Nabers in Week 5. He gets a juicy matchup against the Bengals in Week 6.

Jalen Tolbert is a top-20 WR option in Week 6: With teammate Brandin Cooks on injured reserve, Jalen Tolbert finished as the WR12 in Week 5 while playing 90% of the Cowboys' offensive snaps. He is a must-start in Week 6 in an expected high-scoring affair against a weak Lions secondary.
