Zay Flowers or Terry McLaurin: Who should I start in Week 6 Fantasy Football?

Zay Flowers and Terry McLaurin are the main wide receivers for the Baltimore Ravens and the Washington Commanders, and on Sunday, they'll face each other in what's set up to be a surprisingly good game. Making the right choice between the two of them could guarantee you a fantasy victory.

Is Zay Flowers a great fantasy pick in Week 6?

It's a good one, but risky as well. It's clear at this point that the Ravens will always look to establish the run first, and in this matchup against Dan Quinn's defense, Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson are set to feast, leaving fewer targets to the wide receivers.

Flowers had an excellent game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but that was dictated due to the flow of the game - the running game was struggling and the passing offense became the real threat.

Is Terry McLaurin a great fantasy pick in Week 6?

If you haven't paid attention to the Washington Commanders offense in these first five games, you've missed the Jayden Daniels show. The rookie quarterback has dominated the league in his first appearances, throwing the ball efficiently and also running a lot. There are a lot of good things happening.

The Commanders are sitting at 4-1 and this has been exciting to watch, as none of the rookies has played better than Daniels at this point. He has massively elevated the offense, and props to Kliff Kingsbury for designing an offensive system where his rookie quarterback can play at a very high level.

Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer gives the edge to the Commanders star, as he has a favorable matchup against a struggling secondary from the Baltimore Ravens. Although Flowers has established himself as WR1, it's likely that the Ravens will commit to an approach running the ball more.

McLaurin has been extremely consistent and his production has risen with a good quarterback under center. Flowers could have a good day as well, but consistency is the key here - so go with Washington.
