In a similar vein, Foster is set for his first big game of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2015, per ESPN.com. Above 10 points would be a PASS, and obviously below 10 would be a FAIL. Giovani Bernard is a much better option.

If we throw out Antonio Gates ‘ one – admittedly stellar – game, Greg Olsen leads the National Football League in targets per game for tight ends. Given the makeup of the Saints right now, it would be easy to write Brees off, but from my vantage point, you should be doing the exact opposite. I listen to at least one per day and think they are superior to articles because you can hear the host’s thought process, which will help you “learn to fish” rather than simply being provided the meal. Enjoy it. Take a chance on a guy you like. Anyways… ON TO WEEK 6! The other is The Fantasy Football Edge featuring Adam Levitan, Al Zeidendeld, and Peter Jennings. Just expect high ownership, as he was about 10-12% owned last week and had a big game.
In Week 6, the Washington Redskins will be squaring off with the New York Jets on the road – I realize the match-up seems ugly.
This recommendation is contingent on Steve Smith’s return to action, but Kamar Aiken has caught nine passes for 155 yards and a touchdown in his last two games, and faces the 28-ranked 49er defense (28.1 FPPG to opposing WRs). Regardless of what team Washington faces next, Crowder should be a hard cover as he works from the slot position.
Pierre Garcon at Jets: He doesn’t score TDs, Kirk Cousins is garbage, and Garcon should be on Revis Island.
As far as National Football League , there are two must-listen podcasts released only once per week. This may not sound like a lot but as a baseline that is 8.1 PPR points.
Beyond those assists, Brown’s route running and deception have freed up teammates for big plays. The most crucial aspect for DFS success is the ability to make up your own mind. Josh Norman may be the new Revis but Baldwin has proved time and time again that he’s capable of performing against anyone. The Seahawks over the Panthers. This week Moncrief saw a season-low 3 targets, catching 1 of them for 3 yards. The problem for quarterback Russell Wilson is that he has no receiver that has stepped up as a star to grab a few of the defensive attention.
There’s little to like about this matchup for either of these stagnant offenses, but here are a couple silver linings: Tennessee is allowing eight FPPG to TEs (tied for eighth most), so Jordan Cameron could get back in the fantasy owners’ good graces. Or did I get unlucky because the Texans played so bad that the game was over before Julio could touch the ball?
With Julio Jones (hamstring) banged up, the Falcons will look to spread the ball around more to other receivers, including Leonard Hankerson, Roddy White and Jacob Tamme. He hasn’t had a 20 attempt game so far this season on the ground and got just 27 yards on 13 attempts last week vs the Rams. If the prospect of Walker doesn’t do it for you than you could always go the route I went last week and start Scott Chandler… and get a zero. Take their Week 5 victory over the New Orleans Saints for example. He ended with 33 points in standard scoring leagues, finishing the game with close to 160 total yards and three touchdowns. That’s why it is so important to have a guy like Eifert on your team, to anchor the thinnest position in all the fantasy game.
The Atlanta Falcons are off to an improbable 5-0, thanks in part to a drastically improved defense. It’s simple. No defense has allowed more fantasy points to quarterbacks than the Kansas City Chiefs, allowing them 26.4 points per game. I release more picks in my weekly DraftKings YouTube Video and I also have picks that I don’t list anywhere (I can’t give out all of my picks because each week I could have 20-30 different players in play). Fantasy owners clamored at the opportunity to pick up a more experienced Jeremy Hill this season-who was drafted an average of 10th out of running backs in ESPN leagues. Johnson’s big day came with Matt Hasselbeck subbing for the sore-shouldered Andrew Luck, who’s expected back this week. Snead will go against the Falcons who are allowing 288.0 passing YPG (4th most in NFL), and have allowed three opposing WRs to amass 100+ yards against them (including two 140+ performances). For those unaware, West is a superior athlete, one of the top SPARQ scorers now active in the National Football League in fact.
What makes Rob Gronkowski so valuable isn’t just his raw production, though it’s impossible to downplay that. Indy is going to have to pass often against the Pats, which will probably keep Gore off the field more frequently than his owners would like.

Charcandrick West, RB, KC (@ MIN) – It was an all out war for him on waivers this week. Good luck with that.
