Five weeks later, the football season becomes very 2020.
Injuries continued to increase. During Week 5, Quarterback No. 1 in the first month of the season he lost the year when Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys suffered a fracture and dislocated his right ankle.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to make its NFL presence felt as well. The fifth week was delayed between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots for a week, resulting in the postponement of several other games and weeks.
Then there are those goodbyes. In Week 6, 4 groups (at least) will: the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Chargers, the New Orleans Saints and the Seattle Seahawks are gone, further exhausting fantasy’s group of players.
Add all those things together, and there will be no shortage of fantasy managers facing difficult composition decisions, especially if your team languishes at 2-3 or 1-4.
Well, we’re here to help you get it right in Week 6, with position ratings through position for leagues from point to point to reception and some players in each position to aim and avoid.
Given all the major injuries that spread across the fantasy scene in 2020, a famous quarterback was doomed to failure.
Still, Prescott’s nasty ankle fracture was a blow to the Cowboys and fantasy coaches. Prescott averaged 422. 5 yards consistent with passes consistent with the game in the first month of the season.
He’s a seasonal killer and an injury that doesn’t just affect Prescott. With Andy Dalton in the quarterback, all cowboys’ main pass receivers (Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, CeeDee Lamb and Dalton Schultz) receive a hit.
Is 2020 over? It has to stop.
GOOD MATCHES
Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings (vs ATL) (DraftKings DFS Value: $6,100)
Cousins has been more regarded after the events than as an asset to fantasy managers in 2020: he ranks the 15 most sensitive fantasy problems among the season’s quarterbacks. If there’s ever been a week for a big line of Cousins stats, it’s Week 6 opposite a surprised Falcons team that just fired head coach Dan Quinn.
Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs CLE) (DFS DraftKings Value: $6700)
The Steelers are undefeated, but in their first four games, Roethlisberger averaged 254. 0 yards consistent with passes and 2. 5 touchdowns consistent with the game. He is expected to surpass benchmarks on Sunday: Cleveland fullback has not played well in 2020.
BAD MATCHES
Teddy Bridgewater, Carolina Panthers (vs. CHI) (DFS DraftKings Value: $6,000)
It’s been quiet, but in the past two games, Bridgewater has been one of the 10 most sensible characteristics under center, throwing 589 yards and 4 touchdowns while rushing for another. But this week’s game with the Chicago Bears is not at all favorable.
Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals (IND) (DFS DraftKings Value: $5400)
Last week’s functionality opposed to the Baltimore Ravens is a sobering reminder that while Burrow is an incredibly talented rookie, he is a rookie who is starting his sixth career start, opposed to a Colts defense that gave quarterbacks the least amount of trouble in the first month.
sleeper
Andy Dalton, Dallas Cowboys (vs AZ) (DFS DraftKings Value: $5800)
Let’s not go around: Prescott’s decline in Dalton is important, but Dalton is a triple Pro Bowler with 133 career openings, 4 playoff appearances and an elite corps loaded at his disposal. Here’s the merit of low-end QB1, and you get it at a moderate cost.
WEEK 6 QB RATINGS
When Carolina Panthers offensive lineman Christian McCaffrey suffered a sprained ankle in Week 2, many fantasy coaches who drafted the CMC’s first idea were unlucky.
Hello, liquor cabinet.
However, if the same fantasy managers “handcuffed” Mike Davis to McCaffrey (or got rid of the sixth-year veteran of the resignation thread), then the pain temporarily turned into exaltation. After crushing the Atlanta Falcons by 149 total yards and landing last week, Davis ranks third in PPR issues among all media in more than 3 weeks.
Davis and James Robinson of the Jacksonville Jaguars were among the top 10 most sensitive fullbacks in the first five weeks, as predicted by a large general of 0.
GOOD MATCHES
Ronald Jones II, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs GB) (DFS DraftKings Value: $6,000)
Jones has had a great run, spending a hundred yards on the court and 120 total yards in each of the last two games. The third-year player has the undisputed leader in Tampa, and is drawing a fantasy game in most cases. five sensible for the Green Bay Packers’ offensive midfields this week.
David Montgomery, Chicago Bears (in CAR) (DFS DraftKings Value: $5800)
Buccaneers get closer or so in Week 5, but a short-range landing stored their fantastic exit. The sled deserves to be a little less difficult in Week 6: the Panthers are ranked 26th in the league in ground defense, consistent with a 133. 4-yard transmission consistent with ground play.
BAD MATCHES
Darrell Henderson Jr. , Los Angeles Rams (in SF) (DFS DraftKings Value: $5600)
It’s serious enough that the Rams backfield is a three-headed mess with Henderson, Malcolm Brown and rookie Cam Akers. In Week 6, the Rams also face a San Francisco 49ers team that ceded the least amount of PPR problems to the halfbacks in the first month.
Kareem Hunt, Cleveland Browns (in pit) (DraftKings DFS value: $6,900)
Hunt is the NFL’s Best No. 2 and a former racing champion, but as we saw last week, even he can be stopped in a bad game. Steelers are a bad game, no AFC team has allowed fewer yards on the court. consistent with this season’s game that the Steelers (64).
sleeper
Myles Gaskin, Miami (vs. NYJ) (DFS DraftKings Value: $5400)
Gaskin’s sleeping prestige is tenuous after converting 21 touchdowns for 91 total yards and a score last week opposed to the 49ers, but Gaskin is expected to do even better Sunday against the five-stop chimney that is New York’s 25th defense.
WEEK 6 RB RATING
Well, then about DeAndre Hopkins.
More than once before the season, this editor has expressed reservations about the Arizona Cardinals catcher’s ability to justify his award in this year’s drafts, partly for a new offense and a quarterback, partly for a receiving corps that includes Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk.
I was of all kinds.
Catching six passes for 131 yards and a landing opposite the Jets last week, Hopkins averaged 105. 6 yards consistent with the game, a personal record. Hopkins’ 53 goals are third in the NFL and no hole has any more PPR issues in the games.
With an elegant game in the five most sensible against the Dallas Cowboys, there’s no explanation why thinking Hopkins’ good start might not continue on Sunday.
Uh . . . Ups?
GOOD MATCHES
Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs CLE) (DFS DraftKings Value: $4900)
Whether johnson, JuJu Smith-Schuster or rookie Chase Claypool’s feel, every Pittsburgh outs and women deserve to be in the Week 6 lineups The Browns have had a lot of trouble protecting the pass this season, especially deep shots in the middle. in the field.
Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings (vs ATL) (DFS DraftKings Value: $6,000)
Jefferson’s streak had one drawback Sunday night in Seattle: only 3 receptions for 23 yards in a game with the Seahawks defended defensively. However, Jefferson is expected to recover sunday in the face of a Falcons defense that may be worse than Seattle’s, if so. even possible.
BAD MATCHES
Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills (vs. KC) (DFS DraftKings value: $ 6,600)
Given Diggs’ warmth at the start of his first season with the Bills, he has to start Week 6, but expectations want to be constant: the Kansas City Chiefs gave the least amount of gambling-consistent problems to giant catchers in the first month. .
DJ Moore, Carolina Panthers (vs. CHI) (DFS DraftKings Value: $5900)
A couple of things that oppose Moore in Week 6: the first is a bad fantasy game with a Bears defensive that has calmed down some of the most sensitive catchers. The time is, it’s undeniable that Robby Anderson (not Moore) is the No. 1 receiver in Carolina this year.
sleeper
Laviska Shenault Jr. , Jacksonville Jaguars (vs DET) (DFS DraftKings Value: $5,200)
Shenault has not yet had an escape game and the rookie has not discovered the finish area since the start of the season, but in the last two weeks, Shenault put in at least five passes and passed for 75 yards, and the Lions pass the defense allowed nine landing passes in his first four games.
WEEK 6 WR CLASSIFICATION
Week 6 brings a very welcome display for fantasy managers: the return of Tonyan the Destroyer, the barbarian king of fantasy football.
In more than a month, the Green Bay Packers’ closed wing, Robert Tonyan, went from the edge of nowhere to give a touch in the middle of the TE1 conversation.
After posting a hen’s egg in the first game of the season, Tonyan continued with the 3-week tear: two receptions for 25 yards and a score in week 2; a five-reception, 50-yard, and touchdown opposite the New Orleans Saints in Week 3; then an explosion of six receptions, 98 yards, three touchdowns versus the Falcons in the fourth week.
Since Week 2, George Kittle of the 49ers has had more PPR problems consistent with the game than Tonyan among the wings closed.
GOOD MATCHES
Eric Ebron, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs CLE) (DFS DraftKings Value: $4100)
If you notice a trend here, be careful. Cleveland’s passing disorders (296. 4 yards consistent with the game and 12 touchdowns allowed) continued to the tight final position: Cleveland finished fifth worst in PPR issues that allowed for a tight finish in the first month.
Evan Engram, New York Giants (vs WAS) (DFS DraftKings Value: $4900)
Engram showed symptoms of life last week, scoring his first landing of the season in a series of tricks. Week 6 is well prepared for you to have your reception game of the year: Washington fought to protect the tight final position (last six in the first month of the season).
BAD MATCHES
Rob Gronkowski, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs GB) (DFS DraftKings Value: $4400)
Gronkowski has just finished his game of the season: 52 yards in 3 receptions against the Bears, but Gronkowski has been attacked more than five times in five games, and this week’s game is unfavorable, as the Packers have had good luck against the position. This year.
Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams (in SF) (DFS DraftKings Value: $4800)
Since his triple in the week of the moment, Higbee has been calm: only seven receptions for 72 yards in the last 3 games. in tight late terms.
sleeper
Irv Smith Jr. , Minnesota Vikings (vs ATL) (DFS DraftKings Value: $2,500)
Smith had his top productive fantasy outing of the season Sunday night in Seattle, surpassing four out of five goals for 64 yards. Against an Atlanta defense that ceded PPR’s maximum problems for closed wings in the first month, another double-digit output is possible.
WEEK 6 TE CLASSIFICATION
There is a threat that prevails with the capital expenditure of the really extensive draft in an elite defense. There are many things that can replace one unit from year to year, or even from week to week. Injuries Offensive disorders that conditions in which a defense is placed.
This year’s lesson in this regard is the 49ers. Last season, the Niners covered one of the NFL and fantasy football defenses. This year, as injuries increased and the San Francisco offensive fell in difficult times, the 49ers’ defense became a resignation fodder.
Last week’s 43-17 beating at the hands of the Dolphins was the last straw. Don’t look for an unrecoverable charge if you’ve selected San Francisco: the team’s next seven games are brutal.
GOOD MATCHES
Younghoe Koo, Atlanta Falcons (MIN)
The Falcons are a mess. But the offense is rarely too short of firepower, and Koo is expected to have several chances to score Sunday against a Viking team that gave kickers the top problems in the first month. Yes, that’s one thing.
Washington Football Team Defense / Special Teams (at NYG) (DFS DraftKings Value: $3300)
Not much has worked well in the nation’s capital lately, but Washington has a stacked defensive line, the Giants don’t do well, and Big Blue Quarterback Daniel Jones hasn’t launched an landing pass since Week 1.
BAD MATCHES
Ka’imi Fairbairn, Houston Texans (in TEN)
Fairbairn attracts a Titans team it was a fantastic game of the last five for kickers the first month of the season. This is enough to avoid this one.
Cleveland Browns special/defense teams (in PIT) (draftkings DFS value: $2,700)
After choosing six in last week’s indianapolis Colts victory, the Browns are among the five most sensible fantasy advocates in many scoring systems. But they’re not a smart defense in “real life,” and the last time Cleveland faced one of the AFC’s elite groups (the Ravens in Week 1), things temporarily deteriorated.
sleeper
Miami Dolphins Defense/Special Teams (vs NYJ) (DFS DraftKings Value: $2900)
The Dolphins made their most productive defensive effort of the season, recording five catches and scoring 3 points in the 49ers beating last week. They also drew a fantastic house game of their dreams in Week 6 in front of a Team Jets so bad that you have to see it.

Every week I get dozens of questions about programming. Sometimes other people follow my advice. Sometimes I don’t. And they do, and they wish they hadn’t.
