Below are the highest-graded FCS players by position after Week 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: PFF isn’t the gospel or the de facto ranking of who the best players are, it’s just another tool to look at top performers. There is more context beyond film grades, like the quality of opponents, just like there is more context beyond box scores and statistical leaders.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
