Week 6 of the NFL season is here, and we get a 10-game SuperDraft main DFS slate Sunday. Let’s dive in and see who the best plays are for every position.
Top Quarterbacks
Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams (1.25x score multiplier)
Stafford has been a consistent fantasy player since joining the Rams. Heading into week 6 he’s facing the Giants, a game with potential blowout implications. I like Stafford due to what he can do in the early stages of this game. I do think this will turn into more of a run-situation game in the second half but I’m banking on Stafford for the first-half scenario.
Taylor Heinicke, Washington Football Team (1.55x)
Heinicke may be everyone’s favorite quarterback option Sunday as he gets to face a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has disappeared. Heinicke did have a dud in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints but scored 23.04, 22.88 and 27.9 fantasy points the prior three weeks. He gets a nice multiplier of 1.55x in a game where he’ll be needed to match Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense production to stay in it.
Top Running Backs
Kareem Hunt, Cleveland Browns (1.25x)
Hunt will be the high-owned running back play of the slate, as Nick Chubb was ruled out early Friday. Now, Hunt has already proven he is a solid running back for the Browns. Recently receiving the starting nod, he should be in line for double the carries. The Arizona Cardinals defense is also giving up the fourth-most rushing yards per game with 139 yards which just makes this play that much more exciting.
Devontae Booker, New York Giants (1.5x)
Booker is one I like a lot in a week which should feature plenty of backup RB’s. Saquon Barkley has been ruled out and when Booker received the chance to step in during Week 5, he made the most of the opportunity, finishing with 19.3 fantasy points. Now he gets to face the Rams, who are giving up 117.2 rushing yards per game. Booker will be effective on the ground, and similar to Barkley, is a pass threat.
Top Wide Receivers
Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals (1.3x)
For a rookie who “can’t catch,” Chase is having an amazing season. With five touchdowns so far on the season, Chase now gets to face the Detroit Lions. He’s got the best match-up rating via the FTN Daily WR/CB matchup tool, Chase should be in line for another dominating performance as he has a 77.7 matchup rating. With Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd also on the field, he may get overlooked at times, but I fully expect the rookie to continue his Rookie of the Year campaign.
Mike Williams, Los Angeles Chargers (1.4x)
For being one of the most dominant receivers this season, Mike Williams has a nice multiplier of 1.4x. In a similar situation to Chase, Williams also has the best matchup on the field out of him and Keenan Allen with a 70.4 matchup rating. Williams has only had one disappointing week and that was versus the Las Vegas Raiders, but he quickly bounced back in Week 5 with a 34.5-fantasy-point game.
Top Tight Ends
Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens (1.45x)
The Chargers are currently giving up the most fantasy points to tight ends on SuperDraft with a total of 16.7 per week. Andrews has the ability to continue his dominant performance from Week 5 when he finished with 34.2 fantasy points. If the two offenses keep the game close with each other, I want to make sure I’m all over the Mark Andrews play.
Mo Alie-Cox, Indianapolis Colts (1.85x)
Staying with the trend of defenses that give up major points and another team doing so is the Houston Texans as they give up 16.4 fantasy points to the position. Alie-Cox isn’t getting the major target looks we would like him to be getting but he is sitting at four targets per game while averaging nearly 50 receiving yards. If he is able to find the end zone at least once, this play pays off and most likely at low ownership, as we have the big-name tight ends back on the slate.
