George Kittle Projects As Low-End TE1 In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has a solid matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. The Falcons are allowing 278.2 yards through the air per game, fourth-most in the league.

Brandon Aiyuk A Possible WR3 In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who plays the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6, has yet to have the breakout some had hoped for since his strong finish to last season. He has finished as a WR4 three times in the first five weeks, which would only be a borderline flex play, and never […]

Deebo Samuel A High-Upside WR2 In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has a great matchup in Week 6 against a shaky Atlanta Falcons defense. The Falcons are terrible against the pass, allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game, and average-to-below-average against the run.

Jeff Wilson Jr. A Quality Start In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. is a quality starting option in Week 6 as he takes on the shaky Atlanta Falcons defense.

Matt Gay A Risky Streaming Option

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has a home game against the flailing Carolina Panthers in Week 6. Gay has yet to score double-digit points this season while the Rams have underwhelmed on offense.

Tyler Higbee A Quality TE1 Start In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has a home game against the flailing Carolina Panthers in Week 6. Higbee has been targeted ten or more times in each of the past two games. The 29-year-old has produced a TE1 season on high volume, but he has not yet scored a touchdown. His Week 6 […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. A Possible Flex Play In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. has a home game against the flailing Carolina Panthers in Week 6. The Panthers defense ranks No. 27 in rushing yards allowed per game and No. 17 in passing defense, which is relevant to Henderson, as he is being used as the third-down and receiving back. While […]

Cam Akers Could Benefit From Increased Workload Week 6

IDP Leagues Waiver Wire - Fantasy Football Pickups (Week 6)

Is the NFC East the best conference in the NFL? It’s certainly looking that way. The Eagles are 5-0.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 18-of-30 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns in the Niners' 37-15 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Cam Akers Bottled Up By Cowboys Defense

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers took 13 carries for 33 yards in the Rams' 22-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He did not catch any passes. It was his second straight game with fewer than 50 scrimmage yards and no touchdowns. In fact, the Rams as a team have only scored a single […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Has No Carries

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. caught four passes for 30 yards in the Rams' 22-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He had no carries in the game.

Rams Defense A Subpar Choice In Week 5

The Los Angeles Rams defense and special teams unit faces the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. The Cowboys have scored over 20 points in each of the last three games. They have turned the ball over fewer times than any other team in the league, and they have allowed the tenth-fewest sacks. The Rams defense […]

Matt Gay A Risky Streaming Option In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is 7-for-7 on field goals this season. In Week 5, he faces a Cowboys team that is allowing the third-fewest points per game in 2022. That means he probably won't get many chances to kick extra points this week, and his prospects for kicking field goals are unpredictable. He […]

Tyler Higbee Likely To Finish As TE1 In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been targeted more than any other player on the Rams except Cooper Kupp. He might be targeted a lot in Week 5 against the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a tough pass defense, which ranks in the top ten in limiting opponent's yards per game and yards per […]

Cooper Kupp Projects As WR1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has a tough matchup against the elite Dallas Cowboys pass defense in Week 5, but he still should be started and expected to finish as a WR1 in all leagues.
