Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 6 - 10/15/17 Welcome back for another week of daily fantasy football. Things are starting to heat up as week six is upon us and teams are starting to separate. The Kansas City Chiefs remain as the only undefeated team in the league with the Broncos, Eagles, Packers, and Falcons as the only one-loss teams. Week six brings us another round of bye weeks as the Bills, Bengals, Cowboys, and Seahawks will get a rest as they prepare for the remainder of the season. Before getting into this week's picks, let's quickly review my week five picks. I started last week by combining the Cowboys and Packers game as it was projected to be very high-scoring. They didn't disappoint as the teams combined for 66 points in another Aaron Rodgers dramatic 35-31 comeback victory. The only disappointing part of the game, from a fantasy perspective, was that both quarterbacks failed to reach the 300-yard mark(Rodgers-221, Prescott-251) but both threw three touchdowns. What capped those overall numbers was the fact that Aaron Jones(GB) and Ezekiel Elliott(DAL) both rushed for over  100 yards on the day. The wideouts somewhat let us down as well as Jordy Nelson only totaled two catches for 24 yards while Dez Bryant tallied five catches for 52 yards. Both ended up scoring touchdowns on the day which did help their overall fantasy totals. Overall, it could have been much better with more volume, but it also could have been much worse. Speaking of much worse, we have the Arizona Cardinals who got absolutely thumped by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cardinals were outplayed in almost every area and ended up with just over 11 minutes less possession time which really limited the touches from a stacking perspective. Carson Palmer gave us the volume we were looking for as he attempted 44 passes on Sunday but only completed 28 of them for 291 yards and one touchdown. Five of those completions went to Larry Fitzgerald who tallied 51 yards but didn't reach the endzone. The one play that did work out in this game was Andre Ellington who continued to get his share of touches as he caught nine of his 10 targets for 65 yards. His price did come up a little bit this week but not enough to fade him considering he has received double-digit targets in back to back weeks to lead all running backs and sit second behind only Antonio Brown in that time. Let us now jump right into the week six picks. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL optimizer for FanDuel and DraftKings, our MLB Optimizer,...

We've got you completely covered. Devonta Freeman FD 8500 DK 7400 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 16.05 DK - 17.05 He checks all of the running back boxes this week with a high implied total (28.5), big home favorite (-11.5) and projects to see a vast majority of the team’s carries. Freeman been steady (if unspectacular) to start the season though he’s quietly averaging more fantasy points per game (FanDuel scoring) than guys like Le’Veon Bell, Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliott. Yup, I’m as surprised as you. This is thanks, in large part, to Atlanta’s commitment to him in the Red Zone. He’s scored 5 touchdowns (most in the league) while playing one less week than basically every other relevant running back. The Miami D’s been ok against the run this season (2nd in DVOA against the run) but again, this is such a good matchup in every other way. In his four games, Freeman has the best consistency rating among all top 10 RBs (.28 coefficient of variation) and it’s really only his salary giving me pause. Samaje Perine FD 4900 DK 4400 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 14.53 DK - 16.03 With early news reporting that Rob Kelley will sit out Week 6 we get a chance to pretty confidently target Perine in all formats. He’s exactly what we are looking for in a punt play coming at near minimum salaries across the industry. The Redskins, like the Falcons above, are huge home favorites (-10.5), projected for a ton of points (28) and facing a mediocre 49ers defense. Perine’s been handed the reins before with 40 carries between Weeks 3 and 4 when Kelley was banged up. Perine’s issue is he isn’t very good. He averaged only 2.9 yards per carry in those bell cow weeks against below average run defenses in the Raiders and Rams. The price dictates a play of course, and he should see the goal line work as opposed to pass-catching Chris Thompson....

Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 6 - 10/10/17 After five weeks in the NFL it feels like nothing is safe. We've already seen season-ending injuries to guys like Beckham, Cook, Olsen, Watt and more. Good teams look bad. Bad teams look good. Players disappear from the team's game plan only to reemerge a week later. It's been a crazy season so far. But there's also plenty to feel confident about as well. Let's take a look at some of the cash game plays for Week 6.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Alex Smith FD 7500 DK 6400 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 21.33 DK - 22.01 Your leading fantasy scoring quarterback through five weeks of the season? Alex Smith everyone! He’s been a revelation (I can’t believe I’m saying that) behind center and is completing an insane 77% of his passes (next closest with >100 PAs is Josh McCown *gulp* at 71%). Smith has three elite weapons at his disposal in Hunt, Kelce and Hill which goes a long way to keeping opposing defenses honest. And the results have more than been there. The Chiefs lead the league in points scored and this week take on a reeling Pittsburgh team at home. The game doesn’t project as a blowout (KC -4, 25 implied points) and the Steelers’ pace this season suggests KC will have the ball plenty. Smith’s also done some work on the ground his mobility does help his cash game floor. He’s a notch below the upper tier of pricing allowing for plenty of wiggle room elsewhere in your lineup and I suspect he’s a popular play this week. Deshaun Watson FD 7900 DK 6700 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 19.96 DK - 21.29 Smith may lead the league in quarterback fantasy points but one could make the strong case that had Watson opened the year as the starter the latter would be the runaway leader in the clubhouse. His last three weeks have been amazing, averaging 281 yards a game through the air, and throwing for a total of 11 TDs. Houston’s found their QB and the only mistake they’ve made was not unleashing him sooner. The emergence of Watson has also helped the HOU run game as well, leading to a more balanced Texans’ attack....

DFS NFL Talk Week 6 - Look Back at Week 5 and Ahead to Week 6 - 10/10/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Tuesday podcast breaking a weird Sunday in the NFL. They take a look at what some of these variable performances mean when projecting out certain opportunity for the rest of the season. They discuss how there exists a group of players who see elite touches on a given week, but there’s a steep drop-off in expectation after them. They also discuss Doug’s rough week with lineups despite being encouraged by the overall projection system and opportunities on players. Then they finish off with a discussion on the tight end position and whether the volatility there means just paying premiums on guys like Ertz and Kielce. All of this and more on a Week 5 recap for FanDuel and DraftKings. Subscribe to this podcast on...
