Jacoby Bri sett tops Week 6 fantasy streaming options Published: Oct 09, 2017 at 11:59 AM Since Alex Gelhar already masterfully identified some of the ahead of Week 6, and Matt Harmon examined top in his deep dive, it’s my job to provide some streaming candidates at quarterback, tight end and defense for the upcoming slate of game. Keep in mind, most of these players/teams are bottom-of-the-barrel targets for deep leagues, and I’m not saying they’re going to be top scorers at their position, but they should do Caleb Joseph Jersey enough to keep your team competitive in Week 6 if you need some a sistance. So, let’s get to it. **Ownership percentage data from fantasy leagues. * QUARTERBACKS at | 3.5% owned: In favorable matchups, has averaged 22.86 fantasy points per game (CLE in Week 3, SF in Week 5). The fall under the category of “favorable,” as their defense is allowing the third-most FPPG to quarterbacks limiting to for 92 pa s yards against them in Week 5. Bri sett has smartly recognized that he’s got one of the most dangerous receiving weapons in the league in and he’s been airing it out Hilton’s direction with major succe s. Hilton has accounted for nearly half (49%) of Bri sett’s gro s pa sing yards over the last three games (360 of 730). That chemistry should continue in Week 6 against a Tenne see offense that is surrendering 28.4 points per game to opposing offenses this season. QB ( / Case Keenum) vs | 19.9% / 1.3% owned: returned on Monday night against the , but struggled to move the offense, was inaccurate and hesitant from the pocket and reportedly aggrivated the knee injury that sidelined him for several weeks prior. came in late in the second quarter to salvage Minnesota’s stagnant offense to that point, and finished the game with 11.8 fantasy points in a about a half of play. He threw for 140 yadrs and a touchdown, and didn’t turn the ball over. Keenum was also without for a chunk of the second half as he dealt with a goin injury, though he did return late. Still, while ‘s season-ending injury is a blow to the offense overall, it could mean the offense leans on its his pa s-catchers even more and that means more potential fantasy points on the quarterback’s game log. Week 6 presents a home matchup against the division rival . Green Bay’s defense is allowing a 66.2 percent completion rate to opposing pa sers this season, a bottom-10 rank in the league. The defense only has three interceptions through five games, so it’s an ideal spot for the starting quarterback to thrive. vs | 33.7% owned: and his lead the NFL with 227 pa s attempts through five games, averaging 45.4 per contest. That number creates a ton of opportunity to rack up yardage and touchdowns, whether its early or late in garbage time. Palmer is second only to in total pa sing yards on the season, averaging 289 per game. That volume alone creates an ideal streaming scenario each week. In Week 6, the host a defense that’s allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal callers (19.74) and has surrendered two top-five fantasy games from (Week 3, QB3, 28 points) and (Week 4, QB4, 27 points) in just four games. Tampa Bay has allowed 396.2 total yards per game, which is the third-worst mark in the league. It’s a perfect storm for Palmer given the pa sing volume, the matchup and the fact that is finally healthy again. vs | 0.5% owned: Despite what felt like a struggle for against the in Week 5, New England still surrendered 303 pa s Curt Schilling Jersey yards and a touchdown to the Bucs quarterback. The are allowing the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, so is an obvious streaming target. Of course, expectations should be tempered with McCown. That list of quarterbacks going against New England isn’t nece sarily a bunch of bums. McCown hasn’t been great this season, and nobody has expected him to be. But he’s helped the win three straight games, somehow, and has been a serviceable fantasy streamer for three of five games this season, with 13, 14 and 15 fantasy points when the matchups were favorable. If you hate yourself, go ahead and ride the McCown-coaster in Week 6. Fantasy QBs vs NEWk1 Smith QB1 (31pts)2 Brees QB4 (22pts)3 Watson QB15 (20pts)4 Newton QB2 (33pts)5 Winston QB9 (18pts)6 McCown ? Matt Franciscovich (@MattFranchise) at | 0.0% owned: put up 16 fantasy points in just two quarters against the . He was able to move the offense, unlike , and while the decision as to who will start in Week 6 has not yet been made by coach Hue Jackson, Hogan is the common-sense start. He compiled 194 pa s yards, threw two touchdown pa ses and one pick on sixteen completions in one half of work against the . You’d have to really be in dire straits to roll him out against the on Sunday, but the have allowed the ninth-most FPPG to quarterbacks this season and just lost two major playmakers in and to season-ending injuries. Hogan can run, too. He logged 30 rush yards in Week 5 and he had 105 rush yards on just eight attempts last year. He rushed an average of 78 times per season during his four years at Stanford, so that ability raises his floor a bit. I mean, don’t be doing this, but if you’re desperate, sure. TIGHT ENDS at | 0.2% owned: The defense has allowed a top-10 fantasy tight end performance in every game they’ve played this season. This has resulted in the third-most FPPG to opposing tight ends (12.1) through four games, and makes for an ideal defense to target tight end streamers. A winle s San Francisco team heads into Washington in Week 6, and a bright spot of the offense last week was tight end . He posted seven catches on his nine targets for 83 yards and a touchdown against the . Kittle is a little tough to trust since he’s averaging just 4.6 targets per game through five contests, but the wide receiving corps isn’t very deep. Look for to take advantage of a Washington pa s defense that got banged up in their last outing against Kansas City, and for Kittle to be a major part of it if you’re streaming, that is. Fantasy TEs vs Wk 1: Ertz TE6Wk 2: Everett TE8Wk 3: Cook TE7Wk 4: Kelce TE2Wk 6: Kittle ? Matt Franciscovich (@MattFranchise) vs David Peralta Jersey | 2.2% owned: plays for the . The quarterback, , has thrown a combined nine touchdown pa ses in his last two games. The play the in Week 6. The have allowed five touchdowns to tight ends in five games. If Watson throws a few more touchdown pa ses in Week 6 there’s a good chance Griffin catches one. vs | 12.7% owned: When and left the ‘ Week 4 game with injuries, ended up leading the team in targets with seven. Jones should be back for Week 6, but Sanu is set to mi s time with a hamstring injury. That should open the door for more looks in Hooper’s direction against the . Hooper has been playing about 76 percent of Atlanta’s snaps so it’s not like he’s splitting playing time, he’s out there. Atlanta welcomes in a defense that’s bottom 10 in the league in FPPG allowed to tight ends (8.7), and they’ve given up 28 receptions to the position through four games which is fourth-most in the NFL. It’s a prime spot for Hooper to produce. at | 2.9% owned: This one is a longshot, but rookie tight end can no longer be ignored. Through five weeks, Njoku is sporting a 12-118-3 line, which doesn’t quite jump off the page. But the three touchdowns do, because when you’re streaming a tight end, that’s all you’re hoping for. He made a sick one-handed, diving touchdown grab against the from the arm of . If Hogan draws the start, I can see Njoku coming through once again. All three of his receptions last week were from Hogan, Kizer didn’t connect with him. It’s a desperation play, but his play-making ability is unreal and the need any spark they can get in terms of pa s-catchers right now. David Njoku, man! Matt Franciscovich (@MattFranchise) DEFENSES (D/STs) D/ST at | 2.6% owned: The Oakland offense is sputtering out of control, and San Diego has playmakers on defense. Whether it’s E.J. Manuel or under center, expect and to give the ‘ offensive line fits in this one. If it’s Carr starting, who knows how mobile he’ll be coming off a back injury. Manuel completed just 13 pa ses against Baltimore in Week 5 while the leaned on the run game with and . It’s always smart to target backup quarterbacks when streaming a fantasy defense, and Manuel’s 50 percent completion Rob Refsnyder Jersey rate, 159 pa s yard total and 1:1 TD to INT ratio speak volumes. By no means has the defense been stout this season, but the unit did just post 10 fantasy points on the road against the . Abraham Almonte Jersey They’ve generated five sacks twice this season and are allowing just 190.2 pa s yards per game, fourth best in the NFL. D/ST at | 10.5% owned: Yes, I already wrote about how poorly the defense has played this season when explaining why is a quarterback streaming option, but the Bucs defense could still put up fantasy points even if Palmer posts a solid line. The have no rushing attack. They’re averaging 2.5 yards per carry as a team in the four games since has been sidelined. Arizona went four for 14 on third down conversions against the in Week 5. Palmer was sacked twice more, with his total through five games at 19. His higher throwing volume creates the opportunity for more picks and the defense had two takeaways and three sacks against ‘s last week. Tampa Bay’s defense is finally getting healthy, and they’re a solid streaming option for fantasy managers in need. D/ST at | 2.5% owned: Yes, the Chicago defense was trounced by the in Week 4, but was a mistake machine early on, giving Green Bay great field position on several early po se sions. The hope is that is an upgrade on that front, and can right the ship offensively, which would do wonders for what is already a solid defensive unit. He did so on Monday night against the , despite two turnovers. Heading into that game, Chicago was allowing the sixth-fewest yards per game in the NFL (heading into MNF) and just 85.5 rush yards per game. Their Week 6 opponent, the , are lacking on most offensive fronts due to poor play from quarterback . Even with a solid Week 5 game against Oakland, Flacco is averaging just 164.6 pa s yards per game and Baltimore’s 792 team pa s yards is third worst in the league. owners can look to Chicago’s defense for help in Week 6 if in need.
