Week 6 Preview
It is the Detroit Lions' bye week, but do you like football never rests.
Walking the Wire
#MNF led the league with 3 moves so far this week:
- Bo Nix has been forsaken and Jordan Love is now getting the love. Strong move.
- Picked up the Chiefs Defense in place of the Browns.
- After scoring -0.70 points last week, Kenyon Sadiq has been replaced with Harrison Butker1
Other moves of note:
- .08 Over Par picked up QB Daniel Jones and put him in the driver's seat this week.
- Now-injured Roman Wilson was dropped by The Fast and the Jahmyrious, with RB Brian Robinson taking his spot. Robinson has had fairly high variance in terms of fantasy production this season and the remaining schedule is not super favorable, but it's a worthwhile stash in case Bijan gets sidelined.
- Acho Endzone picked up WR Germie Bernard, who may be the beneficiary of the aforementioned Wilson's injury.
Josh Allen Memorial Award for Highest Projected Points
Josh Allen, QB, Swerski's Super Fans
26.13 points, vs the Las Vegas Raiders.
Drake Maye and the Patriots slaughtered the Raiders last week. Can AFC East rivals Allen and the Bills follow suit?
Non-Josh Allen Division
Two other starters project to score more than 21 points this week2:
- Brock Purdy, QB, 🚨👆👉👇🚨: 21.14
- Bijan Robinson, RB, #MNF: 21.01
Lowest Projected Starter of the Week
QB, WR, RB, TE only
Brian Robinson, RB, The Fast and the Jahmyrious
5.57 points vs Chicago.
TFatJ must have penciled in a rough week 6 before the season began. Aaron Jones Sr. and namesake Jahmyr Gibbs are both enjoying a bye this week, and someone needs to carry the rock. Robinson must be a bet on some upside via being Bijan's "handcuff." There are other RBs available with higher projected points, but it is a roll of the dice no matter what direction they go.
Honorable mention
Crouching Tiger is almost certainly going to end up starting currently-benched Brian3 Thomas Jr. this week. Every other wideout on the roster (both Cinci stars, Jameson Williams, Jordan Addison) is on a bye, which is curious roster building. Brian Thomas Jr. is projected to score 5.62 points this week.
Game of the Week
Acho Endzone vs Swerski's Super Fans
Projected: 105.34 to 106.13, 211.47 combined
This is the closest matchup in terms of current projection, and both teams have actually set their roster. Will Swerski's continue to assert its dominance atop the league, or will MoAE4 have a glimmer of hope?
Snoozefest of the Week
Crouching Tiger vs .08 Over Par
Projected: 57.33 to 105.70, 163.03 combined
Crouching Tiger hasn't set its line up yet, and needs multiple waiver pickups to have a shot. Plus it is starting Sam Darnold. .08 Over Par is a lock to win this week.
Commish's Picks
- Swerski's Super Fans wins against Acho Endzone. You just can't stop Josh Allen.
- 🚨👆👉👇🚨 takes care of business against The Fast and the Jahmyrious. Brian Robinson can't fill the Gibbs-sized hole in the TFatJ roster.
- Suphian's Revenge keeps it rolling against Weekend Jail, which is wondering when its bye week is.
- #MNF gets back to .500 against Rawdawgs. Jordan Love goes HAM against the Cowboys at Lambeau.
- Crouching Tiger cannot pull together enough wide receivers to beat .08 Over Par, who gets a reprieve and a welcomed win.
On the season: 15-10
No rest for the wicked, and no bye week for do you like football.
