Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 6

The Week 5 wide receiver matchup article only featured one player that finished inside the top-10, and that was Jamison Crowder who finished as WR-7 on the week. Tee Higgins underwhelmed in a tough matchup against the Ravens Defense, Golden Tate flopped in a great matchup against the Cowboys and Deebo Samuel’s performance suffered due […]

Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 6

Week 6 is here! The weirdness from last week has continued, as we have now had a Tuesday Night Football game but then had Thursday Night Football taken away from us. Assuming and hoping that there are no cancellations this weekend, fantasy managers can count on not having any Saints, Seahawks, Chargers, or Raiders this […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I was riding high after predicting eight out of the top ten defenses two weeks ago, but we saw some craziness this Sunday (along with some top tier defenses postponed or canceled), which caused only a 50% success rate in identifying top-10 units. Miami throttling San Francisco was truly a surprise, as was a Kansas […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

This NFL season continues to be the weirdest one that I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’ve seen teams come out and get embarrassed by bottom dwellers, and I just watched Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins absolutely dismantled the San Francisco 49ers. If you ever think that you’re going to be able to accurately predict […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 6 (10/18/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

As fans, we had our emotions played with in Week 5 a bit. There were several COVID-19 cases that made their way around the league, but in turn, we only had one game moved. In our games, Arizona was ready to hit the over themselves, but they pulled back and took it easy on the […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Week 6

The fantasy trade market is always a fun one to evaluate. Articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" pieces but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to trade for those that are cold and trade away those hot. Now, five weeks into the season, we have several big-name players underperforming […]

Week 6 IDP Rankings, Streamers, and Notes

Adrian Peterson Misses Practice With Illness

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (illness) did not practice on Thursday. As far as we know, Peterson's illness isn't COVID-19-related, so he has a good chance of being active in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The Lions are coming off their bye week and AD had 11 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 brought some key injuries and we lost the NE/DEN game (with BUF/TEN still up in the air). The biggest injury was Dak Prescott, who was carted off after suffering a compound ankle fracture, but we also saw Sammy Watkins and A.J. Green leave due to hamstring injuries alongside Diontae Johnson's back injury. Also, Dalvin […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

It seems the waiver wire is becoming more and more important with all the hectic scheduling changes, potential cancellations looming, and the presence of injuries. Managers will now have to deal with potential COVID-related game postponements along with the setbacks experienced by many players. As we head into Week 6, it’s important to start monitoring […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 6

Once again, the NFL was a perfect example of why people love and hate the game of football. On one hand, we saw the best feelgood story in several years with Alex Smith returning to play (and looking relatively good all things considered) for the Washington Football Team. Then, just hours later the brutal cruelty […]

T.J. Hockenson Has Fringe TE1 Value Against Jaguars

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will have a favorable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 6. Hockenson was held to only two catches for nine yards last week but prior to that game, the second-year tight end had been efficient in the Lions offense. Hockenson will face a Jaguars Defense that is allowing the […]

Can D'Andre Swift Take The Next Step?

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift will face a Jaguars Defense in Week 6 that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing runners this season. The rookie endured a rough start to his season, dropping a game-winning touchdown in Week 1. Swift also has been unable to supplant veteran runner Adrian Peterson for […]

Adrian Peterson Has Favorable Matchup Against Jaguars

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson will have a favorable chance to post RB2 numbers in Week 6 against the Jaguars. Peterson has amassed only 245 rushing yards on the season but is posting a very respectable 4.5 yards per carry. He will continue to be the lead back for the Lions against a Jaguars […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Will Try And Jump Start Season In Week 6

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. will try and snap out of his season-long slump in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The veteran has only 12 receptions on the season and really has faded from the Lions offensive game plan the past few weeks. Jones will go up against a Jaguars Defense that is […]

Kenny Golladay Can Be Started With Confidence

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay will try and extend his touchdown streak to three games in Week 6 against the Jaguars. Golladay will go up against a Jacksonville defense that is allowing the 13th most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. The Jaguars were burned regularly by the Texans receivers last week and […]

Matthew Stafford Has Excellent Chance Against Jaguars

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will have an excellent matchup against the Jaguars in Week 6. Stafford has seven touchdowns over his last three games and will face a Jaguars Defense that is allowing the seventh most fantasy points to opposing passers. Jacksonville has allowed three of the last four quarterbacks they have faced to […]
