- Week 6's Sunday main slate features 10 games kicking off between 1 and 4:25 p.m. ET, with Bears-Falcons, Rams-Cardinals, and Bills-Raiders carrying the highest over/unders at above 51.
- Jalen Hurts (blood clot), Lamar Jackson (ankle), and Saquon Barkley (hamstring) are among the headline players ruled out, while Caleb Williams (hamstring), DJ Moore (shoulder), and Quinshon Judkins (foot) are listed as questionable to suit up.
- McClure's top tight-end pick Isaiah Likely ($5,500 FanDuel / $4,800 DraftKings) ranks second in the NFL in target share among TEs at 29.45%, comes off an 11-94-2 receiving line in Week 5, and faces a Saints defense the article ranks in the bottom 10 against tight ends.
- Rhamondre Stevenson ($6,300 FanDuel / $6,000 DraftKings) is projected for a heavy workload with TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) out, against a Jets defense allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs; he has logged 16 touches and a score in each of his last two games.
- Bijan Robinson, Kenneth Walker III, Puka Nacua, and Derrick Henry headline the highest-priced options in the Week 6 DFS player pool on FanDuel and DraftKings.
- Mike McClure has more than $2 million in career DFS winnings according to SportsLine, including two tied-first finishes in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker and one FanDuel Million victory.
Why it matters: DFS players building Sunday lineups need to absorb the injury ripple from Hurts, Jackson, and Barkley being out while targeting the three games with over/unders above 51 (Bears-Falcons, Rams-Cardinals, Bills-Raiders). McClure's model-based selections anchor around mid-priced values — Likely at $5,500/$4,800 and Stevenson at $6,300/$6,000 — where favorable matchups (Saints bottom-10 vs TEs, Jets 9th-most fantasy points allowed to RBs) create upside without top-dollar salaries. The remaining picks are gated behind a SportsLine subscription, so non-subscribers only get the two flagged names plus the situational context.
