**UPDATED: THURSDAY, OCT. 12 @ 2:55 PM ET**
Welcome to the DFS Watch List for NFL Week 6!
We're cruising through the NFL season here, aren't we? Seems like it's going by so fast. I genuinely hope the Watch List is helping all of you with your research process each week as much as it's helping me. I've alwasy stayed on top of the latest news, practice and injury reports, but since I began doing this piece, I've taken my research to a whole new level. It's also helped me with my choices for the Optimal Lineups, particularly which players are better for Draft Kings versus FanDuel. The cash lineups, at least the primary ones, are cashing each week, so this week, I'm going to try and take my GPP game up a few notches. Let's do this!
If you're new to the DFS Watch List, feel free to go back and look at the first five weeks, so you can see how the process works.
Bye Weeks: Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks
Players I am considering using from Thursday night include:
Cam Newton, Nelson Agholor, Devin Funchess, Kelvin Benjamin, Jake Elliott
FD Example: Kirk Cousins, Todd Gurley, C.J. Anderson, DeAndre Hopkins, Devin Funchess, Davante Adams, Zach Miller, Jake Elliott, Baltimore Ravens
DK Example: Drew Brees, DeMarco Murray, C.J. Anderson, DeAndre Hopkins, Devin Funchess, Davante Adams, Zach Miller, Nelson Agholor, Jacksonville Jaguars
Added -- see below for analysis (10/12)
Drew Brees, QB NO
Cam Newton, QB CAR
Kirk Cousins, QB WAS
Mark Ingram, RB NO
Elijah McGuire, RB NYJ
DeAndre Hopkins, WR HOU
Golden Tate, WR DET
T.Y. Hilton, WR IND
Kendall Wright, WR CHI
Devin Funchess, WR CAR
Kelvin Benjamin, WR CAR
David Njoku, TE CLE
Removed (10/12)
Joe Flacco, QB BAL -- Given where he's priced, I think I would rather pivot to either Brissett or McCown for GPP play. Brissett has more going for him with a soft match-up with the Colts and McCown gets a taste of the Patriots defense which continues to make 300-yard passers out of everyone they face.
Kasen Williams, WR CLE -- It looks like Kenny Britt will be suiting up and taking back his spot on the outside.
