Week 6 by Position....

We will now attempt a position by position analysis for DFS purposes....If I don't list them, I don't consider them playable.  I don't need to tell you why because most of it should be obvious.

QB-
DALTON....Great value!  Buffalo's secondary can be attacked and gives up Bottom 8 points (a good thing) vs both QB and WR.  Close game favors game script.  Moderate o/u.  Weather in outdoor stadium with rain and cool temps and a bit of a breeze.  Not enough to really worry QB production, but should be monitored for changes.  Both formats.
Bortles.....Superb value.  Only concern is sprained throwing shoulder.  Has a couple of nice weapons and should be in a close game.  Yeldon is out and Gerhart hasn't shown much either.  If they are going to win, it's going to be through the air.  HOU is pretty soft this year with a middling secondary and a surprisingly ineffective pass rush.  Low-ish o/u is only concern for me outside of injury.
PALMER......Decent value, great floor, nice upside, too.  PIT is not as soft as they say, but is middling.  Not bottom 10 rank.  He has great weapons and is very consistent.  Not supposed to be blowout with an ok o/u.  Only concern is on the road traveling east along with a warm weather guy playing in borderline snow flurries.  Granted, he was in CIN forever.  He should be ok.

This is the kind of thing I want to do next week.

Week 6...

Not that anyone is following, but in case they are.......I can't settle on a format, so I'm going to appear rather schitzophrenic.  Oh well.

CAPS players will be CORE players to build your cash LUs around.  Lowercase players will be those you fill in rosters with as you mix and match with your core.  GPP players are simple dart-throws that have boom/bust value but aren't advisable to play in your cash games.

You should have done a significant amount of research to this point on your own.  What you find here is a list of names being continually repeated by "experts" as the better plays of the week.
