What are five bold fantasy football predictions for Week 6 of the NFL season?
Each week, FanSided offers five bold predictions pertaining to your fantasy football matchups. This is the sixth edition of a series that will accompany you deep into your fantasy postseason travels.
Generally speaking, these prognostications are assessed from a 10-team, PPR league perspective. Most of the time, the assertions will apply to all aspects of fantasy football. If some sleepers are honorably mentioned, don’t be upset that the player is considered a sleeper when he may be the best option you have to plug-and-play.
Not all leagues abide by the traditional 10-man format, and some leagues are even more exciting when they’re out-of-the-norm leagues.
For full disclosure, let’s hold ourselves accountable for last week:
- Clyde Edwards-Helaire dominates the Las Vegas Raiders. Mostly incorrect. The Chiefs rookie had 80 yards from scrimmage in the team’s first loss of 2020.
- Cousins authors his best 2020 game to date in Seattle. Incorrect. Cousins had highs and lows in Seattle. He gave the Vikings a chance to upset the Seahawks, but the defense squandered the evening.
- Panthers wideout D.J. Moore shows why fantasy owners were high on him. Correct. Moore accrued 19 PPR points in the Panthers win over Atlanta.
- Eric Ebron excels in the Battle of Pennsylvania. Incorrect. Ebron only tallied 7 PPR points in Week 5.
- The Colts-Browns game is not ideal for fantasy points. Draw. The RBs were good, the WRs were not (fantasy-wise).
On to Week 6. Here are five relatively brazen predictions that are associated with Week 6 only. Not all of these projections will be accurate all of the time. Fantasy football dealings are topsy-turvy. Overall, though, let this season-long series serve as a pocketbook to your fantasy strategy.
