Fantasy Football Week 6: Starting, Sitting, Crossing and Risks for Each NFL Game

Start it

Sneaky Sleeper

Expect the two Eagles to get a decent amount of touch-ups and get caught by a Giants defense that has seen a bigger goal score at least once in every game this year. This is a good omen for the Doug Pederson squad: an Eagles running back has scored in two of the last three meetings. The hunch is that Smallwood gained a slightly larger share after his recent contributions and that Corey Clement came back from a quad injury. This is the reason why Smallwood is the preferred of the two, although Clément can also find good numbers on a limited number of deductions.

Start it

The Giants are hot and cold against the quarterbacks, but should have trouble catching the Eagles' passes, while struggling to put pressure on Carson Wentz. By Sports Info Solutions, New York cornerback Janoris Jenkins allowed another touchdown last week (Curtis Samuel's match) and was scored for more than 300 yards at the front desk in five games. Plus, the Eagles played well after Eli Apple, the other corner half of New York. Bank on the Eagles is a manufacturer of matches against two men. Although they had to deal with more difficult passes in the last two weeks, Wentz found a way to concoct more than 300 yards with two touchdowns (more than 23 Fantasy points in each game). Whatever the case may be, the starting line of the Eagles should be a good thing for the match, and the arrival of Olivier Vernon will not turn the giants into decisive (the six worst of the six bags of the League) into a monster. Wentz is a better option this week than Andy Dalton and everyone you've listened to in the last two weeks.

Sneaky Sleeper

There is no doubt about Manning's recent record against the Eagles: in four games with defense, Jim Schwartz, Manning has more than 350 yards in three games, more than three touchdowns in three games (both in # 39; last year) and at least 28 Fantasy points in three. Games. There is no doubt about Manning's play in the last three weeks: since tackle Ereck Flowers was sidelined, Manning completed 73.6% of his passes in a 8.3-yard par attempt with five touchdowns and 23 Fantasy points in two out of three games. The Eagles' pass defense has been shaky, with three of the last four smugglers facing more than 300 yards (two touchdowns and more than two touchdowns). A strange ride: Philadelphia has helped multiply pass scores in six straight games on the road, including one against Manning at the end of 2017. Manning is worth a look if you do not have a quarterback stable stuck and loaded in the queues.

Buccaneers at Falcon

Start it

What a matchup. The Falcons watched each of the last four quarters they faced to throw for a minimum of 250 yards and three touchdowns. Winston himself had at least these numbers in each of his last three games against Atlanta – and those were the ones where the safety of the Falcons was healthier! The reality is that the Bucs will probably not be able to handle the ball effectively (they rank at the 25th highest scoring per game), forcing Winston to try several passes. As might be expected, Winston has scored several touchdowns in six of his nine career games with at least 40 pass attempts (more than 300 yards out of seven). Opposing passersby attempt 39.6 assists per game against the Dirty Birds.

Start it

It's a perfect storm for Brate. Winston has always relied on his tight ends and Brate is the main opponent of the Bucs offensive with O.J. Howard put out. Most linebackers and backup officials in Atlanta are struggling to cover passes – in the last three weeks, tight ends have captured 15 of 18 targets for 168 yards and a score. Do not be surprised to see that Brate has a very good match.

Sit him

This stinks that we can not be more confident in Jackson given the allocation of 10 touchdowns by the Falcons to the receivers in five games. But the success D-Jax had this year came from Ryan Fitzpatrick, not from Winston. He has amassed 107 of his 112 yards in the fourth week. Let's not forget that Winston had the entire 2017 season to get on with Jackson and that they managed a touchdown. and five deep passes over 20 yards in 11 games. At least Chris Godwin has a touch potential. It's hard to trust Jackson to make big games with Winston until we see him.

Start it

Hooper scored 12 goals and nine career catches last week. It's only the third time in his professional career that he has seen more than six targets in a game and that the second time he has collected more than seven points. This is not normal for him. Fortunately, giving up the statistics in the tight ends is quite normal for the Buccaneers: they gave up more than nine non-PPR Fantasy points at one tight end in three consecutive games. Let's start with Hooper thinking that Matt Ryan does not forget it.

Panthers at Redskins

Risky starter

Prior to week 5, Reed averaged 6.7 goals, 4.7 receptions and 56.0 yards per game with a touchdown. This is certainly not the kind of numbers you want from you. Then he was removed from the game plan by the Saints and had only two targets from Alex Smith. Can he bounce? Carolina struggled to be fooled by tight ends, but in two career games with Ron Rivera's Panthers, Reed lost less than 50 yards in one and was injured in the first half. # 39; other. The Panthers should better defend their tight tie rods. Eric Reid is now in safety and linebacker Thomas Davis is back in the field. Cameron Brate and Austin Hooper have more potential this week.

Seahawks vs Raiders

Sit him

Among active starters, Derek Carr is fourth in completion percentage and seventh in yards per attempt, but only has one touchdown match. He dives and goes deep down to an average of 328.2 yards per game, but not enough for Cooper. It seems that Cooper gets a lot of target volume in easy fights, but in more difficult battles, Carr barely bothered. look for Cooper! The Seahawks have one of the weakest passes in the league (10 sacks of the year, two sacks or less in four out of five games), but one of the best defensemen in the league (sixth fastest time per game and Fantasy points allocated quarters). It would be shocking that the Seahawks do not face the offensive attack of the Raiders and do not force Carr to get rid of the ball quickly. The confrontation seems a little better for Jared Cook in this regard. Cooper must play a big game, but without an easy opponent, it's difficult to see him reach his Fantasy ceiling. I like Jordy Nelson better after his recent play.

Start it

The Raiders were beaten on the ground (5.1 yards per run, five scores) and in the air (12.8 yards per jack, two scores). Carson is obviously the back of choice for the Seahawks because of his modest advantage in touch and retouching on Mike Davis. Seattle is focused on the ruin of Russell Wilson … uh, I mean, become a heavy race attack, and the Raiders game definitely dictates a good ground approach. Carson has great benefits this week.

Colts at Jets

Sneaky Sleeper

Maybe in a different situation, the Colts would be alongside Rogers for his untimely losses last week, but Indy is slim as receiver and Rogers is essentially stuck in the role of slot machine. It's a great place because the Jets have given at least eight receptions to each of the last three primary slot machines they've faced. That should give Rogers a 70-yard floor. Do the math and he is a good third receiver in non-PPR and option No. 2 in PPR.

Sneaky Sleeper

With devastating injuries to her home team over the last two weeks, Indy has awarded a 78% catch rate, six passing passes of more than 20 yards, 516 total yards and four touchdowns in total. Anderson should lick his chops. Targets are a problem for him, as well as the very low floor does not score, but if last week is an indication, Anderson's considerable game potential will continue to be part of the plan Jets. This is double if the Colts can not be a formidable defense. No need to start, Anderson is the third receiver of the holiday or famine who deserves to be thrown into the lineups in front of uninspiring guys like Corey Davis, Devin Funchess, Keelan Cole and Quincy Enunwa .

Inputs at risk

The Jets game was finally successful in the fifth week as their opponent played on the road after a short week. The Colts' defense against the race is not solid, but it is well rested and will allow Darius Leonard to return to the center. Powell plays more than Crowell and has gone over three times this year, but Crowell has the advantage in the red zone. The number of recipients of Powell tends to pack up when the Jets hang out, which might not happen this week. It's hard to feel confident in one or the other back, but Crowell's touch-hit potential makes him a little more endearing in non-PPR.

Cardinals among Vikings

Risky starter

The game of cat and mouse between Cousins ​​and cornerback Patrick Peterson will be intriguing. Peterson will likely queuing for most of the game against Stefon Diggs – he has prevented him in two previous meetings. That would give a lot of numbers to Adam Thielen, but it's not like the Cardinals gave up a lot of huge games to receivers. Only two players off scored more than 10 points in Arizona this season and only one scored (Trent Taylor last week). But the Cardinals had problems with tight ends, so cousins ​​could go for a score, but a second one could be difficult. It seems like a difficult week to rely on Cousins ​​for the big numbers, and the fact that it has been significantly lower than 20 Fantasy points in two of its last three games has not changed.

Steelers to the Bengals

Risky starter

Over the past two weeks, we've seen in more detail who Boyd is: a solid, volume-dependent, crack receiver that fights in more difficult confrontations. Versus Miami, he not only closed his elbows with Minkah Fitzpatrick, but the return of Joe Mixon allowed a slender statistics day. The Steelers, quarterback Mike Hilton, have played well this season and should not yield an overabundance of yards to Boyd. Andy Dalton's record against the Steelers is also not excellent. Boyd is good enough to be Fantasy's # 2 catcher, but his appeal is much greater in PPR.

Chargers at Browns

Risky starter

Njoku's volume has soared now that Mayfield has taken over the Browns' offense, but the big horn fails to find the goal zone. Do not expect this to change, as the Chargers did a good job and managed to make their way through safety rookie Derwin James. Start the race with George Kittle's club two weeks ago, and the tight ends only earn 8.3 yards per shot (Kittle is the only one to score goals). Njoku is a safe game in PPR, but it carries some risks.

Start it

How about a guy who averages 9.6 keys per week averaging 10.4 Fantasy points per match in non-PPR ?! The touchdowns, of course, and Ekeler has three this season and one in each of his last two games. But even without the scores, Ekeler has an average of over 80 yards per game and has at least a 10-yard carry. and at least one catch of 10 yards in each game of the season (17 in total). The Browns' defense against the race looked good last week against the Ravens duo, but she will be thrilled with Melvin Gordon and Ekeler this week. Ekeler does not have the supreme advantage, but he seems to be a pretty safe starter, he might be better as a flex as a No. 2 running back, but he finished runner in the top 24 in four weeks this season.

Invoices at Texans

Sit him

First, I would like to congratulate the Bills coaching staff for remembering McCoy last week and awarding him 26 keys, the highest number of the season (twice as high as his previous highest in 2018). Next, I would like to take note of Buffalo's attempts at close or winning matches (28 to MIN, 38 versus TEN) compared to the games when they have the door closed (16 at the BAL, 14 against LAC, 11 at GB). ). The backbone of Houston's defense lies in the front end of the group of seven – she grants 3.4 yards per run and 6.3 yards per take to the backs with a single floor score. Ezekiel Elliott had only accumulated 84 yards against the Texans last week. McCoy's workload should decrease as the Bills play from behind, making him a beginner with little improvement.

Dolphin Bear

Start them

If the Bears have proven anything in Week 4, it's that they are ready to play against the weakness of an opponent. For dolphins, this weakness lies in the defense against running. They have given at least one touchdown to half of an offering in every game this season, and in two games since the injury of William Hayes, they have allowed 4.5 yards per run and 7.2 yards per shot. This is the perfect week to look a little bit more at Howard while giving Cohen a nice workload. Howard should be doing the majority of the urgent tasks and Cohen should benefit by air. The presentiment is that both touch a minimum of 10 keys, with Howard the best bet to score short distances and Cohen to dominate the receptions.

Sit him

If the Bears can make their way to victory on the field, their passing game will not be as supported. Moreover, if we are confronted with facts about Robinson, he was bad. He has not yet registered double-digit points in Fantasy points in non-PPR and has a PPR game with more than 10 points. He does not even lead the bears in receptions! Meanwhile, the Bears are 3-1 and are finding ways to win without using their so-called best receiver. The Dolphins still have a good all-round pass with cornerback Xavien Howard who has had a bad game and should be responsible for covering Robinson when he gets off. These are the quick receivers that have made in dolphins, not the types of possession. Robby Anderson and Chester Rogers have more potential.

Sit him

I was nervous about using Drake last week, thinking that his best work should be done on the outside. Well, the dolphins listened because Drake was very efficient because he managed to sneak around the edges. That's how you work around a bad offensive home line! Some lost time has been involved, but that does not mean much in Fantasy. The real question is whether his role as a smuggler when dolphins are lagging behind is sustainable. Maybe, but the Bears have been successful in preventing the halves from playing in the air and are as difficult as nails to stop the backs to the ground. The correspondence and the uncertain volume prevent Drake from being anything other than a turn up or down.

The Rams in Broncos

Start it

Sit him

The defense of the Rams race was sensitive to the teams who keep it to the race. Chargers, Raiders and Seahawks gave away at least 19 races and each had a minimum of 4.3 yards per race. The Broncos should at least try to do the same, if only to ease the pressure on Case Keenum. Royce Freeman seems to only deliver figures in games where the Broncos are early or close. When they play from behind, Freeman is out of the mix. You can not say the same about Lindsay, who has at least 12 races in every game where he has not been ruled out of the season. He has also amassed a minimum of 5.0 yards per race in each of his last four games and has seen a slight increase in receptions over the past two weeks (six targets for a 5-30-0 line). Given the Rams' propensity to publish numbers and Denver's defensive struggles, this sounds like a Lindsay week.

Ravens at Titans

Start it

The bad news is that Brown played his worst game of the season in Cleveland last week. On one bright side, it's that he had 14 targets, scoring his fourth consecutive game with at least seven. Now, the good news: the Baltimore first leg is still far from being a sure thing, and the Titans have not allowed a touchdown too fast or a 100-yard match for a half-injury this season. That should mean another week of overtaking for Joe Flacco. I particularly like Brown's chances against cornerback Malcolm Butler, who has allowed four touchdowns and nearly 400 yards this season. Jaguars at Cowboys

Sneaky Sleeper

Dallas has a good half-corner at Byron Jones, but he will not see much of Westbrook, who is lining up. It's a financial standoff for the Jaguars, since Dallas has a decent slot machine in Anthony Brown and security issues that torment them. Slot receivers have scored at least 11 Fantasy points over the past three weeks against the Cowboys. In addition, Jacksonville's ragged offensive line could prevent Blake Bortles from returning to his pocket, forcing faster, shorter passes for his short-range targets. This is a good third catcher. The chefs at Patriots

Sit him

Anyway, you will start talking about everyone. The best confrontations for the Patriots game will take place in the middle of the field (Julian Edelman could have a good game), and that 's where they like to attack. Theoretically, it would be a good week to give Gordon more play time and let him play in the red zone against the smaller corners of Kansas City. However, the throw is based on an act of faith: the Patriots' coaching staff give him more work and Tom Brady gives him more targets. A big catch could be enough, as was the case last week, but there is a higher probability that he continues to be relaxed in an attack with a lot of mouths to feed.49ers at Packers

Start it

With Matt Breida on the set, Morris is considered to be the 49ers' main cow. The Packers' defense against the race delivers a lot of points to the halves, so five scored at least eight Fantasy points against them this year (two last week). This is a good ground for Morris, who should be able to touch more than 15 hits and work on the goal line, regardless of how the match unfolds. It may not be pretty, but Morris should serve as a good No. 2 to your team. Start it

Last week was disappointing – Jones had another game with over 5.0 yards per race, but only seven races, while the Packers had to give up the race. This week should be a much more competitive match, if not a flawless Packers victory, giving Jones more clichés and touch-ups. Packers coach Mike McCarthy insists on using his three backs, but two weeks ago we saw him give Jones a bit more work to win a dazzling victory, including a precious touchdown of a few yards. The Niners' defense against the race has been up and down and should be ready for a loss to Lambeau Field on Sunday.
