Each week, theScore's DFS experts tackle the biggest questions of the week. Here are three of the most significant issues entering Week 6:

What do you project from Ezekiel Elliott against Green Bay's top-ranked run defense?

Andrew Potter: Elliott is on the fast track to finishing as the RB1 overall and the Packers won't even be a speed bump, let alone a road block. The four teams Green Bay has faced to date currently rank 32nd, 30th, 27th and 23rd in rushing yards per game. Look for Elliott's floor in this one to be 80 yards and a touchdown; his ceiling is much higher.

Jason Wilson: Despite not truly being challenged by opponents' running games, the Packers can't be underestimated. Having allowed only 1.8 yards per carry is beyond playing in gimme matchups. Elliott will still likely perform better than any other Packers opponent, but I wouldn't expect more than 60 rushing yards even with his three game streak of 130-plus yards.

Esten McLaren: Elliott is in the upper end of the top tier of running backs, but he still can't be trusted against the Packers. QB Dak Prescott has been extremely efficient this season, but he won't be able to build a big lead against Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. Elliott will need a goal-line score to return value. His floor is 50-60 rushing yards with little involvement in the passing game.

Which QB returning from injury will provide the best value relative to his salary?

Andrew Potter: Denver Broncos QB Trevor Siemian offers the best bang for your buck. He has two high-end receiving options and a defense that ensures enviable field position - perfect for maximizing red zone exposure. The Chargers have given up the fourth-most passing yards in the league this season; Siemian carries some risk but could still be a big tournament play.

Jason Wilson: While Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer will see his value tempered - he's facing the New York Jets on Monday night, so he's not available in all contests - it's the best opportunity for big returns. Palmer has a trio of top WR options and the Jets have allowed the second-most passing yards per game in the league at 302.

Esten McLaren: It will be toughest for Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton to return value, but relative to his typical value from last season he remains a bargain. He is the week's highest-priced quarterback, but he has the top matchup of the week for a dual-threat QB, giving him the highest floor and ceiling. Newton should account for all four of the Panthers' projected TDs.

Which first-round bust are you looking to trade before his value plummets?

Andrew Potter: Dez Bryant's fantasy owners have been without the ailing WR for two weeks. While he might return to practice soon, he's unlikely to play this Sunday. It's clear he's no longer the focal point of the offense, with rookie QB Dak Prescott and RB Ezekiel Elliott leaning on the run game. Trading Dez for a less regarded mid-tier WR like Travis Benjamin is a solid option.

Jason Wilson: Hold steady. Don't pursue a trade at all with your first-round talent; those who are struggling, like Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller or Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley, won't return the value to make it necessary unless you're dealing for another first-round piece. Unless you can flip Miller for a top WR like A.J. Green, it's not worth the knee-jerk reaction.

Esten McLaren: I'll choose Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins. Three touchdowns through his opening five games have held his value and public perception in check. QB Brock Osweiler has struggled and shown no preference between Hopkins and rookie WR Will Fuller. His targets and receptions are well below last year's near-record pace.

Between Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett, who has more value rest of season?

Andrew Potter: It's not crazy to think that Bennett could outperform the consensus preseason TE1 over the Patriots' final 11 games. Gronkowski was hurt to start the season but he'll still see blanket coverage whenever he steps on the field. Bennett saw half of the Patriots' red zone targets in Tom Brady's return; with Gronk drawing so much focus, Bennett will continue to shine.

Jason Wilson: Can it be both? This is the problem with the Patriots. No game is the same and coach Bill Belichick will find ways to involve as many moving pieces as possible. If Bennett remains the primary red zone target then he's absolutely more valuable, though you can expect Gronkowski to be more of a yardage hog. Both can be a TE1, but Gronkowski still has the higher floor.

Esten McLaren: In a vacuum, it's still Gronkowski. He showed no signs of his lingering hamstring issue in Brady's Week 5 return, topping 100 yards for the first time this season. He's the superior talent and the longtime focal point of the Patriots' entire offense. Owners seeking out a trade will have better luck with Bennett, a late-round pick on his way to a TE1 season.
