Our Discord has been lit up with screenshots so green you would think it was St. Patrick’s Day in October! The NFL from week to week has been throwing us curve balls left and right but our projection model keeps us from falling off a DFS cliff. The bye weeks have arrived, so the slates will begin to shrink from here on in, and as the player pools tighten up we need to be even more creative. Only 11 games on the main slate this weekend but we have plenty of QBs on the menu. As usual, you can tag me @jdicarlo78 or anyone else in the crew at WinDaily in our expert chat on Discord for any help…let’s keep the grind going and break down our Week 6 QBs!
Let’s check out our NFL Week 6 DFS Quarterbacks!
Josh Allen ($8,200 DraftKings/$9,200 FanDuel) / Patrick Mahomes ($8,000 DraftKings/$8,600 FanDuel)
In a rematch of one of the most thrilling AFC Divisional games on record, last year’s shootout between the Bills and Chiefs features two of the best quarterbacks in the game today. Take your pick, it’s a lay-up here and you can’t go wrong either way. Allen and Mahomes need no explanation and have both been red-hot, each coming off of 4-touchdown pass performances. They will continue to air it out in Week 6, but keep in mind Buffalo lost that divisional playoff game by a coin toss, which could be fermenting in Josh Allen’s head all year. I would lean more his way on Sunday.
Kyler Murray ($7,300 DraftKings/$8,300 FanDuel)
With a losing record at 2-3, Murray will crush it at home facing the Seahawks, who rank 25th in DVOA for quarterbacks. Seattle also sags at 30th in DVOA for rushing, and with a banged-up James Connor and Darrel Williams, Murray himself may have to pick up the slack with his legs too. Murray has quietly been a stud all season for fantasy, even producing value in 4th quarter-garbage time. Totally safe spot here for cash, and he’ll save you some cap space to pay up elsewhere in your lineups.
Tom Brady ($6,300 DraftKings/$7,500 FanDuel)
The guy’s been in the business for over 20 years and really needs no introduction. The GOAT is in the “Steel City” for Week 6 and will look to keep the momentum moving in that direction. Pittsburgh’s pass coverage was put on blast last week, Buffalo’s Josh Allen threw 4 touchdowns…by halftime. So we have Brady again at a discount in a juicy matchup for the second week in a row. Tampa’s O-line is still a bit shaky but we can rest easy on Brady, who like a surgeon will dissect the Steelers’ secondary that is ranked 27th in DVOA.
Kirk Cousins ($6,000 Draftkings/$7,600 FanDuel)
Not only will Kirky be soaking in some rays while sipping a mai tai in Florida, but he’ll also be picking apart the injury-ridden Miami defense. Corners Nick Needham and Xavien Howard have been struggling to keep up with receivers (30th in DVOA) as they await the return of Byron Jones, who has yet to make his season debut. Miami’s rushing defense also got gashed by the Jets last week (230 total yards/2 touchdowns to running backs). If Minnesota can get Dalvin Cook going early, Cousins will flourish in play-action and crush his mid-range price tag this week.
Geno Smith ($5,700 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)
Russell who? Smith has caught the entire league off-guard with his top-notch leadership and efficiency on the field. He currently leads the NFL in completion percentage (75%) with a rating of 113.2. And they were not all cupcake matchups either, beating Denver at home and recently going toe to toe in N’Orleans putting up 24 fantasy points. At this point in the season, we can’t sleep on Smith and his production. Because of Seattle’s invisible defense, he finds himself playing at full throttle for 4 quarters. Geno will be in another smash spot for Week 6 at Arizona, who have allowed over 1,300 air yards and 8 touchdowns for 5 games.
