NFL DFS DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey (Afternoon Slate): Week 6 Picks
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
headChopper: Puka Nacua
Stevietpfl: Puka Nacua
TJ Zwarych: Puka Nacua
How do you plan to beat the field of opponents in the tournaments you will be playing? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
headChopper: This is a very small 3-game slate, so it’s about taking a chance on something off the wall and getting a little lucky with it. I’ll have plenty of the ARI/LAR game, betting on the Rams to score points and Arizona to do the classic Jacoby Brissett garbage-time routine. How I’m getting different is by taking chances on some WRs who don’t seem too popular and hoping one of them has a big game. Tre Tucker, a Chargers WR (pending health statuses), Kendrick Bourne, and a Bills WR are all options I’m looking at that I feel comfortable taking a chance on.
Stevietpfl: With this smaller slate, I’m going to focus on single-entry and small-field tournaments. I’ll use pieces from the LAC/KC game, but overall, it’s my least favorite game on the slate. I’ll be overweight on the ARI/LAR and the BUF/LVR games. I’ll be underweight on Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford, hoping to get the production from the pieces around them and to make my lineups different. In single-entry contests, I’m going to build around Kirk Cousins, Brock Bowers, and James Cook III.
TJ Zwarych: It’s a small slate, and 2 of the 3 games have massive shootout potential. It’s scary, but I’ll be underweight on the BUF/LV game, and instead, I’ll fully stack the ARI/LAR game with Jacoby Brissett, 3 pass catchers, and at least 2 Rams. I’ll play either Kyren Williams or Blake Corum and then one of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in every lineup.

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
