This report will provide plays for the Week-Six NFL DFS London Showdown slate. I will break down the top fantasy players to consider.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers
O/U: 47 (CAR -2)
NFL DFS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Forget about everything that happened the first time these teams faced each other in Week Two. The Buccaneers managed to shut down Christian McCaffrey on that Thursday night game. Tampa ranks in the top five in terms of run stopping. They allow just over three yards per carry and have held opponents to an average of 70 yards over their last three.
Chris Godwin draws a favorable matchup, just as he did in Week Two. He had over 120 receiving yards on eight receptions and a TD in their first outing. If I’m going to employ Tampa it would be through the passing game. I’m fine with Jameis Winston, Evans, and Godwin all in the flex positions. This doesn’t change the fact of how bad their offensive line is. Tampa has allowed 18 sacks on the year (27th) and are facing a Panthers defense who are firing on all cylinders. They have 20 sacks on the year (Third most).
NFL DFS: Carolina Panthers
I think I made it abundantly clear that most of my interest in this game falls on the Panthers side. Christian McCaffrey, my MVP pick going into the season, is having exactly that kind of season. He leads the league with 587 yards on the ground, 279 through the air, and seven TD’s.
I do acknowledge that Tampa has a good run defense. In Week Two, the Panthers were coming off a short week where McCaffrey saw nearly 30 touches and Cam Newton had been dealing with a foot injury, he was essentially ineffective in that game. Now the Panthers have Kyle Allen under center who has won three games straight and has put the Panthers in a position to take charge of the NFC South with a win this Sunday. Top it off with the fact that Panthers are coming off of a BYE week so they are well rested and prepared for this long trip to London.
