Fantasy football: 10 best Week 6 matchups to attack
Sammie Coates @ Dolphins
The way Miami has been going, almost all the Steelers make good plays this week. While Big Ben, Le’Veon Bell, and Antonio Brown are all set up for monster games, there’s nice value to be had in WR Sammie Coates as well who has played a growing role in the potent Steelers’ aerial attack.
Coates has at least 50 yards receiving every week this season and has hauled in six catches in each of the last two games. He went off for 139 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Jets last week, and he left an even bigger game on the table by dropping three more passes in the end zone. One of the reasons he may have struggled catching the ball was a lacerated finger he sustained at some point.
Coates hasn’t been practicing with the full offense this week, but he reportedly caught passes on Friday. All signs point to him being a go this week against the Dolphins. Miami is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing WR so far this season, and they have allowed at least 98 yards to opposing receivers every week except last week when they played the receiver-starved Titans. With Coates and Antonio Brown ready to roll this week, look for the Steelers to pummel the Dolphins in Miami in one of the most favorable week 6 matchups across the board.
