Welcome to Week 6 of the NFL Season! Each week, I'll be bringing you our famous NFL DFS Cheat Sheet with expert research and picks for cash games and GPPs. Here are a few notes about the sheet.
- We are officially now using 2023 DATA!
- Green means GO (good for the player) while red reflects a poor rating/matchup. The more green, the better...
- In fact, CASH CORE pieces are highlighted with BRIGHT GREEN highlighter on the chart for extra emphasis.
- The "fantasy points allowed rank" reflects how a player's opponent ranked in fantasy points allowed to their specific position. The lower the number, the better the matchup.
- Passing and Rushing game matchups are once again DVOA ratings as I regained access to that metric and I find it to be super helpful.
- A play labeled "cash" is a higher-owned play that is recommended for cash games. A "strong" play is playable in all formats. "Slate-breakers" are some of my favorite GPP targets for upside or reduced ownership.
- Vegas and risk columns will all be updated during the week to reflect injury info, weather info, and the most recent Vegas info.

Deeper GPP Flyers
This is where I want to give you some other players who will be in my player pool, who didn't make the cut for the cheat sheet. The main recommended plays are always going to be geared more toward cash games and single-entry tournaments, but here are some lower-owned options for large-field tournaments.
QB: Matthew Stafford, Jimmy Garoppolo, Joshua Dobbs
RB: Bijan Robinson, Josh Jacobs, Travis Etienne Jr., D'Onta Foreman
WR: Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jakobi Meyers, Christian Kirk, Michael Thomas, Josh Downs
TE: Dallas Goedert, Cole Kmet, Evan Engram, Kyle Pitts
DEFENSE (In the order of safest to riskiest): DET, PHI, HOU, TB, NO
Week 6 DFS Slate Notes
Saturday Updates:
The biggest update here is that Chuba Hubbard is the starting RB for the Panthers with Miles Sanders out and is supposed to get the bulk of the touches. The Panthers do not have a good run game, but Miami's run defense has been porous, too, and Hubbard has been productive with his touches. At his price, he is chalk I will eat in cash and I am adding him to the core based on his projection and projected ownership.
Mostert was already a core play but no Jeff Wilson behind him means I am ALL IN on him. If you want a large-field GPP shot, then Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks are behind Mostert. Brooks ran for 66 yards on just 9 carries in the route of Denver.
Remaining Questionable Players going into Sunday...
Marquise Brown - bump up Ertz, Rondale Moore, and Michael Wilson if he can't go.
Tee Higgins - I am already locked in on Chase either way, but Tyler Boyd gets a bump, and Trenton Irwin.
Sam LaPorta - it has been reported that he is going to play.
Tank Dell - is still in concussion protocol, and got only one limited practice in. I think he sits. Bump up Robert Woods.
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
JAX-IND: Lawrence-Ridley-Pittman Jr. (also consider Kirk)
LAR-ARI: Stafford-Kupp-Brown (also consider Dobbs, Ertz, Nacua)
CHI-MIN: Fields-Moore-Addison (also consider Osborn, Mattison, Kmet)

Please note that these are sample lineups we provide as a tool for you to use. They are designed to give you building block options as you go about choosing your own lineups, but in no way can we guarantee success. Be sure to examine the latest injury updates, Las Vegas projected game totals, and late scratches before finalizing your lineups to ensure the players you are choosing are active on game day.
