We have made it to Week 6! There have been a few hiccups along the road with PPDs and slate adjustments, but the edge is there to win each week and the slate is juicy this week. It may go without saying, but the status of the Vikings Falcons game would shift the slate entirely if the game is moved off the slate so be sure to be wary of that. In this piece, I will be highlighting players that stand to benefit from matchups and recent trends. Also a few players to consider fading.
This will be a source for you to get all the necessary information that you might not recognize quickly looking through the slate early in the week. The goal of this first look is to help leave no stone unturned before the week kicks off. Being able to project for different potential outcomes of players and games is a crucial trait to have as a DFS player. Here is my first look and deep dive on the Week 6 slate:
