NFL Week 6 DFS is here and I couldn't be more excited. The Fantasy Alarm #FAmily has been crushing it with the Playbook and this week will be no different. There are, obviously, a lot of different situations going on with NFL injuries that need to be addressed, but where some see confusion and obstacles, I see value and opportunities. The Minnesota Vikings lost Justin Jefferson? That's unfortunate for them, but we're now looking at Jordan Addison and KJ Osborn as potential value plays this week. Will the weather in Chicago scare us off? Speaking of the Chicago Bears, is D'Onta Foreman going to be our running back value pick with everyone else out? Or will it be Chuba Hubbard in Carolina with Miles Sanders out? Do we even want to invest in th Arizona Cardinals backfield with either Emari Demercado or Keaontay Ingram when there is little to no clarity as to who the featured back is? And what about the return of Jeff Wilson? Will he or Salvan Ahmed ruin the value of Raheem Mostert? You'll just have to keep reading as these questions and more are answered in the NFL Week 6 DFS Playbook!

 

 

Now before we dive right into the plays, for those who may be new to the Fantasy Alarm #FAmily, here is a rundown of the NFL DFS content you should be studying while creating your winning DFS lineups. Let's start with our NFL tools. We continue to crunch the numbers and tweak our algorithms so that our daily fantasy football projections are the best in the industry and that, in turn, has improved things like our Lineup Generator/DFS Optimizer, our DFS Compare tool and even our NFL DFS Ownership Projections. Again, all right here on one site for your convenience.

Again, if you are new to the #FAmily, welcome! All the aforementioned tools are, obviously, at your disposal as well, but please allow me to point you towards more of the content and tools we provide to help you crush your DFS contests each week. It also makes for a nice introduction to our DFS team.

QB Coach – Jon Impemba (@jimpemba777)

RB Coach -- Justin Vreeland (@JustinVreeland)

WR Coach -- Colby Conway (@colbyrconway)

TE Coach -- Andrew Cooper (@CoopAFiasco)

D/ST Coach -- Dan Malin (@RealDANlanta)

In addition to the positional coaching pieces, you also have things like the DFS Watch List, where I provide you with a list of players I am looking at throughout the week. We have the NFL DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba, which you can click below and watch as we talk through each position, our favorite plays and even build a lineup on DraftKings. Impemba also does the Value Plays & Contrarian Corner videos so be sure to check that out as well. Also, don't miss out on the complete NFL Weekly Match-Up Report from Britt Flinn (@britt_flinn) and the all-important WR/CB Match-Up Report from JB Barry (@FantasyCoachJB).

If you haven't starting bookmarking everything, do yourself a favor and do it now. Yes, that's a lot of content and sure, it can be overwhelming, but these pieces come out throughout the week, so if you're seeing all of this for the first time, just know that it all starts trickling out on Tuesday so you can attack the info steadily rather than get slammed all at once. I would suggest that you go through the NFL DFS Menu and start bookmarking a lot of these pieces for ease of use in the future.

Once you've got all of that under your belt, it's time to look at the Playbook. It usually arrives in the early afternoon on Saturdays which gives you ample time to read through everything, make your notes and begin working on your lineups. On Sunday morning, we will provide you with Example Lineups for both cash games and GPP tournaments on DraftKings and FanDuel, so you have something to compare your own to before finalizing.

Pretty sure that sums up the basics, and as you should know, if you have any questions, we are all available via the Fantasy Alarm Discord Chat, social media and even email, so please do not ever hesitate to ask for help. That's what we are here for.

If you are ready, let's now dive into the Week 5 NFL DFS Playbook!

Don't forget to check out the NFL DFS Show with me and Jon Impemba whiles you build your winning NFL DFS lineups!
