Fantasy Football: Player projections for NFL Week 6

As the NFL Week 6 games approach, several players are expected to thrive in the game and emerge as the best Fantasy Football projections. Yahoo! Sports’ analyst Dalton Del Don mentioned multiple games to watch with their Fantasy Football player projections.

Del Don chose the 49ers’ RB Jeff Wilson Jr. over the Falcons’ WR Drake London in a head-to-head matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons.

According to him, he is rooting for Wilson Jr. because he was ranked top-five in rushing yards between the New York Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley and the Cleveland Browns’ RB Nick Chubb.

Del Don noted that with his carries averaged on 17.8 per game for the last four games, Wilson Jr. is favored to beat the Falcons’ defense. In addition, Atlanta’s defense recorded an EPA on rushing allowed by opponents this season.

He asserted that the 49ers’ elite ground defense could force the Falcons to play more passing games. Therefore, Del Don said that San Francisco’s secondary defense against the Falcons’ wideouts players was “strong,” despite Emmanuel Moseley being listed out from the lineup due to injury and Nick Bosa’s “questionable” status.

Stevenson, Chubb, Brown expected to shine

Raju Byfield of Fantasy Pros shared his thoughts on who could show themself “plays of the week” to fans and spectators. He mentioned three players: the New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson, the Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb and the Arizona Cardinals WR Marquise Brown.

Byfield expected Stevenson would lead the Patriots’ ground offense against the Browns as Damien Harris was listed as questionable. Harris’ potential absence should give Stevenson chances to carry the ball, according to Byfield. This season, Stevenson averaged 75.5 rushing yards per game.

Against the Browns, Rhamondre tallied 100 rushing yards as a rookie last season. Cleveland, on the other hand, has averaged 124.8 rushing yards per game this season and allowed over 200 yards in Game 4 and Game 5. With the numbers, Byfield predicted that Rhamondre could be successful in his play against the Browns.

For the Browns, Chubb is the leading RB in the league with 118 rushing yards per game and has recorded more than 113 yards in four of five games this season. Facing the Patriots, which has allowed 93.8 rushing yards per game, Byfield predicted that Chubb could gain 89.5 rushing yards.

The Green Bay Packers RBs, Aaron Jones (110 yards) and A.J. Dillon (73 yards), accumulated 183 yards against the Patriots’ ground defense. Therefore, Byfield suggested that Chubb needs to be included in the Fantasy Football lineup.

On the other hand, Byfield expected that Brown could show the plays of the week performance against the Seattle Seahawks. With 83.4 receiving yards per game, Brown was one of the league’s “hottest” wide receivers, according to Byfield.

Brown has also recorded 78 receptions in three consecutive games. He is the only player in the NFL who has been targeted by a QB pass more than ten times in four games.

Byfield mentioned that Brown could beat the Seahawks’ defense that has allowed 8.9 yards per snap and 259.8 passing yards per game. In terms of his contribution to the Cards, Brown has accounted for 34 percent of the Cardinals’ receiving yards this season.
