Week 6: DFS Saturday
So, it’s been a while since my last entry, but like the rest of the
fantasy football universe, I too have been playing the usual seasonal and
weekly leagues.
So far, my track record for DFS has been break-even, so with some tasty
Week 6 matchups, let’s see if there’s an opportunity to cash out this week.
The two primary day games where we could see a lot of fantasy explosions
come in the Buccaneers-Falcons and the Bengals-Steelers, where the offensive
weapons are plenty and the defenses are struggling.
In Draft Kings I am running a double stack with several players from
these two matchups; QB-Matt Ryan paired with WR-Calvin Ridley and WR-Mohamed
Sanu in my flex. The Bucs defense has allowed 9 receiving touchdowns to wide
receivers and with the focus on Julio Jones, these two look like great
prospects to find pay dirt.
Although Big Ben (Roethlisberger) is on the road this week, his week 6
matchup against the Bengals who allow the 7th most receptions to wide receivers
make his two primary receivers (Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster)
favorable plays this week as well.
Even with changes at Quarterback being made during their bye week, the
Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans could be eyeing a huge Sunday against a Falcons
secondary that has allowed 10 touchdowns to wide receivers (most allowed).
Speaking of a struggling defense, not only have the Falcons been torched
through the air, but with a run defense that allows the 4th most fantasy points
to opposing running backs, this is the week to play the Bucs Ronald Jones II. I
am reading Jones may not start but given the state of the Bucs running game and
this matchup, he should see plenty of opportunity to make some noise.
I have managed to see quite a bit of Browns Quarterback Baker Mayfield
and I am impressed with his poise in the pocket and his arm strength. It’s a
home matchup against a Chargers defense that will still be without pass rusher
Joey Bosa. Given time to throw, I like Mayfield on Sunday paired with his
number one receiver Jarvis Landry; three straight games with double-digit
targets. With that much volume against the Chargers defense that allows the 6th
most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, Landry looks like a solid play.
That’s my Take.
