Week 6 Previews PICK ON LEFT · OUR PROJ.

Mr Steinfeld And Co 134OG Token 88

Justin's lineup as set projects 120.8, and that's with Aaron Jones (bye) at flex and the Bengals D/ST (bye) at defense while Freiermuth and the Rams D/ST sit. Fixed, it's 139.5. Ken's set lineup is 76.0: Chase on bye, McPherson on bye, Darnold (13.6) starting over Mahomes (18.8). His best possible is 90.9. Josh Allen projects 25.1, league high, as is his right. Ken is on a four-game skid.

I Don't Know 126White Guy 55

Logan's set lineup projects 33.0. Burrow, Chase Brown, Ollie Gordon II and Reichard are all on bye, Roman Wilson is out, and Burrow and Reichard are the only QB and kicker he owns. Best possible lineup: 54.6. Nate's 125.8 is already his optimal: Bijan 23.1, Stafford 19.6, and Nico Collins (15.9) back among the living. Logan's two-game win streak is in hospice.

Just missing 9 104🏉 101

On paper Tommy's better: best lineup 114.8 to Dylan's 103.3. Tommy does not play on paper. As set he's starting Amon-Ra (bye), Montgomery (doubtful) and Shipley (doubtful) with Kenneth Walker (22.7) on the bench, for 77.4. Dylan's at 84.8 with Jefferson (bye) in and McMillan (16.0) out. Tommy has lost three straight. Upset Alert.

Ceedeez La DD 119Backshot Brandon 98

A pick made with total objectivity. The numbers, which this paper does not change: Matthew's set lineup projects 121.1, which is also his optimal lineup. He set a quarterback. Five days early. Connor's QBs are Lamar (out) and Kyler (bye), and he's starting Lamar plus DeVonta Smith (out) at flex. Again. With no QB his ceiling is 102.1. CeeDee is questionable, so the commissioner will be refreshing ESPN until kickoff.

Pookie Nacuie 121SKATTABUBU 113

Derek put up 171.7 on Tommy, the Week 5 high, and his 121.4 set lineup is already optimal, Puka (22.8) at flex. Sarah is starting Goff, who is on bye, with Herbert (11.5) on her bench. Last issue Goff was her character development. Her best is 117.6, so this one's close if she checks her phone.

Njigbas in Paris 121Better luck next time! 103

Jonny's won four straight, and his kicker is Spencer Shrader, whom Jeremy cut on Oct. 6 and who kicked 21 for Jonny on Sunday. Set lineup 120.9, with JSN and Judkins both questionable. Jeremy (104.9) is starting Jake Bates, his only kicker, on bye, and Gibbs is on bye too. Brissett (25.28 last week) gets another go. Shrader revenge game is on.

Week 5 Rewind FINALS

Pookie Nacuie 171.70, 🏉 116.66. Week high. So much for regression.

Njigbas in Paris 166.14, SKATTABUBU 129.54. Shrader 21, four straight for Jonny.

Better luck next time! 162.98, Backshot Brandon 82.26. Week low. Brissett 25.28.

Mr Steinfeld And Co 149.80, Just missing 9 118.54. Justin stays on top.

Ceedeez La DD 131.36, I Don't Know 112.12. The QB-in-lineup strategy: 1-0.

White Guy 118.90, OG Token 87.60. Logan takes the White Guy Bowl. Ken: L4.

By the Numbers WEEK 6

4 NFL teams on bye: CIN, DET, MIA, MIN. Nine of our 12 teams roster at least one.

17 fantasy starters on bye, out or doubtful as of Tuesday.

25.1 Josh Allen's projection. Logan's whole lineup: 33.0.

39 points scored last week by players Jeremy cut. Shrader 21, Jets D/ST 18.

0 trades. 0 Connor moves. 0 healthy Connor QBs.

The Picks FIRST OFFICIAL · 0-0

Upset Alert

Just missing 9 over 🏉, 104-101. A 1-4 team beats the No. 3 scoring offense because Tommy starts guys who aren't playing. It's a pattern now.

Lock of the Week

I Don't Know over White Guy, 126-55. Logan's set lineup projects 33.0 and his only QB is on bye. If this loses, the paper closes.

If the picks hit: Mr Steinfeld And Co, Njigbas in Paris and Pookie Nacuie go 5-1. I Don't Know, Better luck next time!, SKATTABUBU and Ceedeez La DD sit at 3-3. 🏉, Backshot Brandon, White Guy and Just missing 9 fall to 2-4. OG Token 1-5. The commissioner reaching .500 is a coincidence.
