5 NFL players who could lose their starting position in Week 6

5 players whose starting place is in danger in Week 6

Here are three more players who could lose their starting spot in Week 6.

#3 – Christian Kirk, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk had a nice start to the season through three games, culminating in a 104-yard display against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. But Kirk was targeted once for five yards in the Week 4 win against the Los Angeles Rams and hauled in five catches for only 39 yards against the San Francisco 49ers last week.

Meanwhile, second-round rookie Rondale Moore has been making waves off the bench. Moore has increased his percentage of starting snaps in the last three weeks, recording a career-high 48% of starting snaps in Week 5. Last week, he recorded his most targets, catches and yards since Week 2.

Kirk has done little wrong, but Moore is turning heads at every opportunity. It could take one big breakout game off the bench for Moore to overtake Kirk in the pecking order, and it could be when the unbeaten Cards face the Cleveland Browns in Week 6.

#4 – Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers

Rookie running back Chuba Hubbard logged his first career 100-yard rushing game in Week 5, but the Carolina Panthers offense stalled against the Philadelphia Eagles and ended up falling to defeat.

Without the safety blanket of checking down to Christian McCaffrey, quarterback Sam Darnold threw three interceptions against the Eagles as the Panthers blew a 15-6 half-time lead to lose 21-18 after a late blocked punt.

Hubbard proved he can play a role in head coach Matt Rhule's offense but, if McCaffrey is available, the temptation will be to slot the star runner back into the starting role. McCaffrey has a unique ability of ripping off a seven or eight-yard run for a first down when the heat is turned up – something the Panthers needed in the loss to the Eagles.

#5 – Jacoby Brissett, Miami Dolphins, quarterback

Jacoby Brissett held down the fort for three starts while Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was on the sidelines, but Week 5 could have been the final outing in the starting jersey for the former Colts and Patriots passer.

Brissett sustained a hamstring injury during last week's loss against the Buccaneers but played through the pain barrier and finished the game. Tagovailoa has been officially designated to return ahead of the Dolphins' Week 6 game in London, England, and should be under center against the Jaguars having recovered from breaking ribs in Week 2.
