Quarterback Dak Prescott FD 8400 DK 7300 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 23.98 DK - 24.82 When I started writing this column, it sure looked like the Cowboys were going to be without Ezekiel Elliott this week (barring some major reversal in appeals) which would have left the nearly full weight of the Dallas offense on Dak. But even with the Zeke stay of execution our system is loving Dak against a well below average 49ers defense. The latter's coming off a week in which they allowed 330 yards passing to Kirk Cousins and just stink in general. Prescott’s sophomore campaign has seen a dip in overall completion percentage (from 67% to 62%) but an increase in TDs per game (from 1.4 to 2.2 per game) as well as a slight bump in passing yards. He’s also adding more points on the ground where he ranks fifth among all QBs despite playing one game less than everyone ahead of him on the list. They haven't been able to rely quite so heavily on the run this season even in plus matchups. I think you can look for a high floor on Prescott even with the Zeke news. Russell Wilson FD 8100 DK 6400 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 20.69 DK - 21.45 He’s another quarterback coming off a bye playing a still decimated Giants’ team (I’m reading very little into what happened in Denver last week). Wilson's completion percentage is down a little this year off his career averages, but he's running a ton more than last season thanks to an offensive line letting interior defenders to get into the pocket sooner. It's not a huge fantasy concern seeing as how the running makes up for a lot in the points scoring department. Wilson's on pace for nearly 500 yards on the ground which is such a huge boost in the "fantasy floor" department. It makes up quite a bit of ground on traditional pocket passers and is why you'll see running QBs in these picks more often than not. The Giants are slightly better against the pass than the run this season (20th and 27th in DVOA respectively before last week's shut down of  Denver). Vegas...

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....
