Fantasy football picks: Week 6 FanDuel GPP breakdown

Zach Ertz – This is a really difficult spot for GPP’s. Austin Hooper will be very popular and is a great play for all formats. We need a guy who will be less popular but has a similar upside. Ertz is the man for the job. He is averaging at least seven targets per game, getting most of the snaps, and is coming off a big week where he grabbed his first touchdown. Momentum is a key factor, and while he has had solid production, the scores have just not been there.

Luckily, Minnesota gives up the tenth most points to tight-ends. This is usually a very stingy defense, that has been oddly weak against tight-ends. Ertz will be heavily involved if the Eagles want to win this game, and as the favorite target for Carson Wentz, he has one of the higher ceilings on the slate.

Mark Andrews – Andrews has been battling a foot injury as of late, but it hasn’t stopped him from suiting up. I fully expect him to play and do very well. Cincinnati has been pretty solid against tight-ends, but overall very bad against the pass. They rank 31st with a 41.1% DVOA against the pass. Mark has seen some great targets, with no less than seven in any game.

The production has slipped since the first two games, but all he really needs to hit value is 30 yards and a score. Baltimore should be in the red-zone for the majority of this game, which will give Andrews plenty of scoring chances. With most people playing Hooper at that same price point, this is an excellent pivot for tournaments.
