Quarterbacks To Play in Week 6

1. Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks (Win big with Geno's player props in his cakewalk matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals)

2. Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings

Geno Smith has still completed over 75% of his passes through five weeks of the season. He's also thrown nine touchdowns to just two interceptions and has a rushing touchdown to go with it.

Now he'll take on an underperforming Arizona defense. Start him.

Kirk Cousins threw for nearly 300 yards last week after completing his first 17 passes. Now he'll take on a Miami defense that has looked dreadful in coverage.

The Dolphins just don't look good defensively at all. The Vikings' run game will open up the passing game and allow the Vikings to have plenty of success throwing the football.

Think Kirk Cousins can lead the Vikings to a win? It's not a primetime game, so why not? Bet $5 on the Vikings to win using this promo and win $200 if they do. It's that simple.

Quarterbacks To Sit in Week 6

3. Matthew Stafford, QB, Los Angeles Rams

Did you draft Stafford in fantasy? Wipe those tears away with this $200 you'll win if you use this BetMGM promo!

4. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers (Click here to bet Rodgers player props)

5. Carson Wentz, QB, Washington Commanders

Stafford is playing like a mid-tier quarterback through five games. He's not even a top-12 quarterback this season. In fact, he's 23rd among quarterbacks this year.

Meanwhile, Carson Wentz's head coach called him out for not playing well recently. Wentz has been the eighth-best quarterback in fantasy. His stats are only going to get worse.

Running Backs To Play in Week 6

6. Breece Hall, New York Jets (Bet Breece Hall to win OROY at +600)

7. Jeff Wilson Jr., San Francisco 49ers

8. Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots

It's time to play the rookie and waiver wire pickups. We're done waiting on some of those other running backs like Jonathan Taylor and Najee Harris.

Taylor is still injured and Harris is giving fantasy owners limited production. Play the guys who are consistently putting up points.

Stevenson would be a play as long as Damian Harris is still out with an injury.

Think Rhamondre Stevenson can lead the Pats to victory? Bet $10 on the Patriots moneyline with this BetMGM promo and win $200...even if they lose!

Running Backs To Sit in Week 6

9. Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers (Sell Harris on JockMKT ahead of his brutal matchup with the Bucs)

10. Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys

I still think fantasy owners can get some production out of Harris. It just won't be this week against the Buccaneers.

Meanwhile, it's starting to become clear that maybe Tony Pollard is the better running back in Dallas. Pollard might end up getting more carries as he produces more efficiently.

Wide Receivers To Play in Week 6

11. Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins

12. Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks

As long as Teddy Bridgewater is available to start this week for the Dolphins, Jaylen Waddle is a must-play. On Thursday, we'll no more on Bridgewater's status but it seems that he's likely going to play.

On the other hand, Lockett just had two touchdown grabs from Geno Smith last week. Now the Seahawks will face an Arizona defense that has looked awful in coverage. Lockett is a must-start in fantasy.

Wide Receivers To Sit in Week 6

13. Garrett Wilson, New York Jets

14. DJ Moore, Carolina Panthers

15. Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears

Garrett Wilson isn't getting as much love from Zach Wilson. He only had three catches for 27 yards in their game against the Dolphins and has just 10 catches in the last three games.

On the other hand, DJ Moore is currently on the trade block for the Panthers. They fired their head coach, Matt Rhule, and now won't have Baker Mayfield for multiple weeks. It's going to be PJ Walker throwing the football. Stay far away from Moore.

Tight Ends To Play in Week 6

16. Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars

17. Hayden Hurst, Cincinnati Bengals

Engram was always hit or miss with the Giants. He might be that for the Jaguars too. But we can't ignore the volume from Trevor Lawrence last week against the Texans.

Meanwhile, Hurst now has two touchdowns in two games and is absolutely a top-12 tight end heading into this week.

Can Evan Engram and the Jags drop (get it?) the Colts? Bet $5 on them do just that with this DK promo and win $200 if they do. That's 40/1 odds.

Tight Ends To Sit in Week 6

18. Tyler Conklin, New York Jets

19. Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears

20. Logan Thomas, Washington Commanders

There's too much inconsistency with these tight ends.

Jock Market Players to Target Week 6

• QB: Kyler Murray vs. Seattle
• RB: Alvin Kamara vs. Cincinnati
• WR: Davante Adams vs. Houston
• TE: Mark Andrews vs. New York Giants

Jock Market Players to Avoid Week 6

• QB: Jalen Hurts vs. Dallas
• RB: Nick Chubb vs. New England
• WR: CeeDee Lamb vs. Philadelphia
• TE: Darren Waller vs. Houston
