Send us a text

We’re kicking off Week 6 with a recap of Thursday Night Football between the 49ers and Seahawks—an exciting game that had some key takeaways for your fantasy lineup. Then, we dive straight into this week’s must-starts, must-sits, sleepers, and busts across every position. (0:00-6:20)

Quarterback Preview (6:20-14:36)

This week, Kirk Cousins and Caleb Williams are both in prime spots to put up huge fantasy points against defenses that have struggled to stop the pass. Meanwhile, Bo Nix faces a tough Chargers secondary, and Justin Herbert might be a risky start given his matchup and injury concerns. We’ll discuss which QBs to roll with and who to avoid.

Running Back Preview (14:36-19:26)

With injuries shaking up the backfields, Chase Brown could have a solid RB2 performance, especially if Zack Moss continues to deal with injuries. We’ll also dive into Tank Bigsby, who could become a must-start if Travis Etienne is sidelined, while Rico Dowdle and Rachaad White face tougher matchups that make them risky starts.

Wide Receiver Preview (19:26-26:59)

In the wide receiver department, DJ Moore is a must-start against a defense that's allowed the most fantasy points to WRs, while Terry McLaurin should see plenty of action in a game with big potential. Amari Cooper and Christian Kirk, however, might be better left on your bench given their tough matchups and recent struggles.

Tight End Preview (26:59-31:03)

Tight ends are always unpredictable, but Brock Bowers looks like a solid option with his red-zone potential, and Jake Ferguson continues to build chemistry with Dak Prescott in what should be a high-scoring game. Mark Andrews might be a tough call this week, and Dalton Kincaid faces a tough Jets defense that will focus on shutting him down.

Kicker and Defense/Special Teams Preview (31:03-38:15)

When it comes to kickers, Chris Boswell has an ideal setup for a productive week against a struggling Vegas team in a controlled environment. Cairos Santos is another kicker worth considering with a sneaky good matchup in London.

Look for Eagles DST to capitalize on a banged-up Deshaun Watson and a Browns offense that’s struggled under pressure. Meanwhile, Falcons DST is in a great position to shut down Andy Dalton and the Panthers, who have been turnover-prone.
