Player Projections & Team Stats for Week 6 in the NFL
There are two games we’re watching especially closely this week: Commanders at the Ravens and Lions at Cowboys. The Commanders are playing nearly mistake-free and have the NFL’s top scoring offense, but can the Ravens be the team that finally makes quarterback Jayden Daniels look like a rookie? And if the Cowboys fall to 0-3 at home, will panic start setting in for America’s Team?
