I'd suggest looking at the Bears against the woeful Detroit Lions. You want to guess who is ranked right behind the Vikings in overall defense according to PFF? It's the Bears, sitting there at eighth. That being said, FootballOutsiders DVOA metric still has the Bears as the 28th overall defense, but that is still relying […]
Full Story »Zach Ertz (TE, PHI) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?
The Giants don't have the names and notoriety that the Jets have, but their defense has been profiling pretty similarly. They have a very strong run defense unit, and their cornerbacks on the outside are typically strong - though now they are without Prince Amukamura, and their slot corner Trumaine McBride missed practice as well. […]
Full Story »Derek Carrier (TE, WAS) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?
While one would like to have seen Carrier get more than three targets last week, he still turned them into two receptions and a touchdown. Fantasy owners who took the gamble on him saw a nice return. This week's matchup against the Jets should also see Carrier get more usage, as the Jets have a […]
Full Story »Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?
Speaking of revenge games and "narrative street", Shorts also goes against his old team here. Now for those of you who don't buy into that, Shorts also just has a genuinely "plus" matchup against one of the league's worst pass coverage teams according to ProFootballFocus (28th overall). This game very well might end up going to […]
Full Story »Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?
If you're taking Colin Kaepernick and want to stack him with someone, Anquan Boldin was clearly Colin's hot read last week when things started rolling for San Francisco's passing offense. Boldin saw 12 targets, which he turned into eight receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. Compare this with Torrey Smith only getting two targets last […]
Full Story »Javorius Allen (RB, BAL) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?
The rationale here is pretty simple. The Baltimore Ravens are pretty banged up and the San Francisco 49ers defense is playing poorly. Steve Smith Sr. will miss another week of action with his back injury. The backfield is a different story though, as Lorenzo Taliaferro was placed on the injured reserve as he must have […]
Full Story »Lamar Miller (RB, MIA) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?
Many people may still be extremely lukewarm or ice cold on rostering any Miami Dolphins until the Dolphins show that they can be a competent offense. If you're looking to take a risk, here's the latest from Lamar Miller when asked about what new head coach Dan Campbell told his squad: “He pretty much told […]
Full Story »Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?
There was a ton of talk last week surrounding the Falcons' passing attack against the Redskins defense, which naturally did not pan out well. While the Redskins defense did do a good job of containing the Falcons, it would be a mistake to just totally flip flop on the perception of the Redskins. There is […]
Full Story »Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?
We saw Kaepernick do pretty well against the Giants in last week's game to the tune of 23 completions on 35 attempts for 262 yards and two touchdowns. He showed that he is still capable of playing quarterback as long as he isn't rolling out to his left. Baltimore has been beaten like a drum […]
Full Story »Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays
Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]

Between bye weeks, injuries and unforeseen performance issues, it sometimes takes some digging to find players that you will be able to add to your lineups for instant offense, or those which you should avoid playing if you have better options. Below are my Week 6 lineup picks for players that can be booms and […]
