Jackson and Prescott definitely took advantage of favorable matchups in the first couple weeks, but guess what? They have favorable matchups again in Week 6. Jackson faces the Bengals at home and Prescott gets the Jets on the road. Both should bounce back in those get-right spots.
WEEK 6 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Starting at around No. 10 in our rankings, things get murky. Philip Rivers (vs. Steelers), Jared Goff (vs. 49ers), and Carson Wentz (@ Vikings) should be reliable, high-floor options, but like Rodgers (vs. Lions), all have had their ups and downs this year. With neutral, at best, matchups this week, none stand out as must-starts, but with guys like Minshew, Allen, Jameis Winston (vs. Panthers in UK), and Jimmy Garoppolo (@ Rams) presenting similar risks, most fantasy owners will side with the more proven options.
WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
For the real daring, you could try to take advantage of the Redskins-Dolphins matchup, as both defenses have struggled to stop anyone all season. We can’t recommend Josh Rosen or whoever is starting for Washington, but they’ll be there if you’re desperate.
WEEK 6 DFS LINEUPS:Y! cash | Y! GPP | FD cash | FD GPP | DK cash | DK GPP
Josh Allen, Jacoby Brissett, Derek Carr, and Mitchell Trubisky/Chase Daniel are on bye this week, so a few owners might be in the market for a new starter. Minshew, Allen, and even Teddy Bridgewater (@ Jaguars) are in play as waiver pickups. Sam Darnold’s likely return from mono also makes him intriguing, but with a tough matchup against the Cowboys on top, he should probably remain on waiver wires at least one more week.
