  "account": "For Week 6, fantasy football analyst Justin Boone offers his lineup advice, starting with the must-start players and potential busts to avoid.\n\nJordan Love, the Packers' quarterback, is ranked 14th in fantasy points per game this season and faces an easy matchup against the Cowboys defense, which allows the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. With a projected point total of 52.5, Boone recommends starting all Packers and Cowboys quarterbacks.\n\nOther quarterbacks to start include Caleb Williams at the Falcons, who is back after a strong performance in Week 5, and Kirk Cousins against the Bills, who has been a top-five fantasy QB in the league in the past month.\n\nRunning back Rhamondre Stevenson of the Patriots is due for a strong outing after being punished in Week 2 for a fumble. Stevenson has shown good form in his last three games, with 197 scrimmage yards, nine receptions, and two touchdowns. The Jets' defense is their ninth-most difficult for running backs, making Stevenson a prime candidate for success.\n\nBraelon Allen of the Patriots is another recommended start, as he has taken advantage of Breece Hall's absence, racking up almost all the running back touches. Allen's recent 116-yard, one-touchdown performance should provide another solid fantasy RB2 result.\n\nMarShawn Lloyd of the Cowboys is also recommended, despite not topping 50 scrimmage yards in a game this season. Lloyd has been productive in his best outing of the season, which included two touchdowns, and his return to a top-20 RB status is no big surprise given the Cowboys' struggling defense.\n\nWide receiver Jalen Coker of the Panthers is expected to return from injury and face an easier matchup against the Eagles. Coker was on fire in his first two games, recording 16 catches, 204 yards, and two touchdowns on 18 targets. The Panthers rank in the top 10 in passing yards and touchdowns through five weeks, making Coker a top-24 fantasy wideout this week.\n\nOther wide receiver options include Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze of the Falcons, as well as Carnell Tate of the Colts and Germie Bernard of the Buccaneers.",
