Whether you're streaming quarterbacks or just in a bye-week crunch, Josh McCown will be in a nice spot in Week 6. The New York Jets have won three in a row and are now set to host the New England Patriots, who have allowed a 300-yard passer in each of their first five games.
McCown and the Jets have outperformed expectations early in the season -- they're currently 3-2, with McCown completing more than 70 percent of his passes and accounting for 6 touchdowns (5 passing and 1 rushing). He does remain a turnover risk, though, since he has four interceptions and has lost two fumbles.
But for those who have Dak Prescott, Andy Dalton, Russell Wilson, or Tyrod Taylor on a bye, McCown makes for a great fill-in option.
