Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
Spread: Bills -2
Implied Total: 40.5
Matchups We Love
RB Breece Hall
Hall has struggled on the ground this year, averaging only 3.03 yards per carry. But we could see a big game from him in Week 6. The Bills have allowed the most fantasy points and receiving yards (312) to running backs this season. Buffalo has also allowed four running backs to finish top-10 at the position on the week. So expect a big game from the Jets running back on Monday night.
Matchups We Hate
QB Josh Allen
You are likely still starting Josh Allen, but the matchup against New York is not the best. The Jets have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and Allen has had some disappointing games against this secondary over the years. He has thrown for 2,552 yards, 12 pass touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 11 meetings against them. Still, he comes in as a QB1 option this week.
Bills RBs
It's becoming more apparent that James Cook (toe) might not suit up for Monday's game. That is not great news for any Cook owner. In his place, expect both Ray Davis and Ty Johnson to see more opportunities. However, it's too hard to trust either in fantasy this week. The Jets have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, and we don't exactly know how this Bills backfield will play out in Week 6.
Update: Cook plans to play on Monday, so he should be started in most leagues.
Kincaid has been one of the more disappointing tight ends this year. He has scored in double figures in PPR formats just once while failing to finish as a top-12 fantasy tight end in three of five weeks. So he isn't necessarily a must-start moving forward, especially against a Jets secondary in Week 6. New York has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. That makes Kincaid a risky TE1 option.
Other Matchups
QB Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers has been a fine QB2 option for those in Superflex formats. He has finished between the QB10 and QB20 in four straight weeks while throwing for multiple touchdowns in three of the past four games. In Week 6, he'll remain a solid QB2 option against a Bills defense that has allowed three quarterbacks (Murray, Jackson, and Stroud) to finish as a top-15 quarterback this year.
Garrett Wilson saw a whopping 23 targets in Week 6, and it's hard to sit him after a performance like that. But the matchup against the Bills is definitely on the tougher side. Buffalo has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wideouts this season and only Collins (WR19) has finished as a top-20 fantasy wide receiver on the week against it. While you are still starting Wilson, he likely won't repeat last week's performance.
Bills WRs
Khalil Shakir (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion on Saturday and will be questionable for Monday's game. If he plays, fantasy managers should slot him in as their WR3. However, even if he misses, Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel won't have much fantasy value. The Jets have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to wideouts this season.
Tyler Conklin continues to be involved on offense. He has seen at least six targets in three straight games while totaling at least 11 PPR fantasy points in two of those contests. Conklin will now go up against a Bills secondary that has allowed three tight ends (McBride, Smith, and Brenton Strange) to finish top-12 on the week. So the Jets playmaker is a low-end TE1 in Week 6.
