I’ve also included the Week 6 opponent for each team. This will help you not just in identifying the players in favorable matchups, but also those who might be in for a tough week. Winning consistently in Daily Fantasy Football isn’t only about hitting it big on lower priced players in good matchups, but it’s also about avoiding 5-point dud from a player you spent some serious salary on. You’ll want to choose players who go up against defenses that allow high point totals to their position. It’s not exactly Sabermetrics, but it’s a simple tool with direct application.
