1 year agoThe New England Patriots defense is not a very trustworthy option for fantasy football in Week 6. Though a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders could be tempting for fantasy managers, there are two factors that serve as deterrents. First, the Patriots' defense has endured its fair share of struggles already, and that was before they lost Matthew Judon (biceps) and Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) to injuries. Without those two playmakers, New England's defensive upside dwindles. Second, the Raiders' offense poses a true threat to make big plays and score points. The Packers mustered just one turnover against Jimmy Garoppolo's squad in Week 5, and Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs are no joke. If you're in a bind due to bye weeks, there are certainly worse options than the Patriots. However, managers would be wise to look elsewhere for production at the D/ST slot in Week 6.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
