Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 6

Bold Prediction #5: Play every receiver in Chiefs-Washington matchup

Okay, this isn’t so much a prediction as it is a directive, but this game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Football Team sees what happens when two moveable objects face unstoppable forces. No, that wasn’t a typo.

Both the Washington secondary and the Chiefs secondary have been dreadful at stopping the pass. They just can’t do it. Both defenses were lauded for how good they were last season. This season, they both see themselves at the bottom of the league in both points allowed and fantasy points allowed. In fact, they are 31st and 32nd in both categories.

This is putting pressure on the offenses to perform at an insane level. The Chiefs obviously have Patrick Mahomes, who has shown in past weeks he can step up when things start to look bleak. Last week was a little different, but once everyone starts to doubt Mahomes, he does something legendary. He’s set up for that this week.

Tyreek Hill is injured, so the Chiefs will be focusing on the other receivers in practice this week. Even if Hill suits up, the Chiefs will find plays they like for Mecole Hardman and Byron Pringle. They are both interesting starts in daily fantasy lineups. Terry McLaurin is an obvious start, but Adam Humphries is coming off his best week and Curtis Samuel is hurt again. The second Washington receiver should also be considered if you’re looking to put Derrick Henry and Christian McCaffrey on your daily fantasy teams.
