Fantasy football picks: Week 6 MNF Packers vs. Lions

Well, we had another crazy week of fantasy football picks action, as week six comes to a close. Atlanta lost to the Cardinals because of a late-game missed extra point and a bad penalty. Will Fuller drops three touchdowns, after scoring three last week. In this game, we have a 45 point total between these two teams. While I do not trust Rodgers without his best receiver, that doesn’t mean we have to shy away from him. That also means we have plenty of other options to use pivots off of him. Can Aaron Jones put up another game as he did against Dallas? That seems pretty unlikely, but FanDuel really priced him up as if he is going to score another four touchdowns.

With these single-game slates, we will want to focus more on game theory, and less on the actual plays. We have limited options, and everyone will be on the same guys because of this. So, we have to find a way to get different from the point bonus spot, in order to stand out. I will still talk about different players I like, but I will focus a lot on how to attack those bonus spots as well.

As reference, the main websites I used are Pro Football Reference, and Football Outsiders, along with RotoGrinders tools, you may see stats such as QBR (Total Quarterback Rating) DYAR (Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement) DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average), as well as some more common terms we all know, such as totals yards, touchdowns, interceptions, etc. Let’s dive in!
