Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 6
By Nick Villano
Bold Prediction #1: Josh Allen leads the league
We have to wait for this one. Josh Allen gets an extra day to look at his performance against the Kansas City Chiefs and just smile. He looked like he was on another level. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes was a turnover machine in the second half. It was strange to see.
This week, Allen gets another juicy matchup. He is facing the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football. Another nationally televised audience to marvel at what Josh Allen is doing. He is tearing the cover off defenses after he had a slow start to the season.
He has 30+ points in two of the last three matchups, and he had 21 in the other one. Not like he was having a bad day. This week, he’s facing a Tennessee Titans team that hasn’t been able to stop wide receivers. They allowed a huge day to Corey Davis and Tyler Lockett, but they just allowed a lot of points to the totality of the wide receiver position. They are actually last in the league to fantasy points allowed to wideouts.
Allen has plenty of wide receivers to choose from. He will likely try to get Stefon Diggs going after targeting Emmanuel Sanders this week. Maybe Cole Beasley gets more play. Either way, Josh Allen will finish off the fantasy week with the best performance at the position.
