Fantasy Football 2019: Thursday Night Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Week 6
By Gage Stagner
Thursday Night Football takes us to Foxborough where the undefeated Patriots host the New York “football” Giants. Who should you deploy in your fantasy football lineups this game and who should you leave on your bench?
Week six is a new week and there are many studs in this New England vs. New York game. New England comes fresh off another win against another terrible team and while the Giants are better than the Redskins, it’s not by much.
The Patriots have benefited from a schedule that has seen the Steelers, Dolphins, Jets, Bills, and Redskins – arguably three of the worst teams in football as the headline. The Giants have handed over the pigskin to Danny “Dimes” Jones and he has given them a much-needed spark. Coming off a loss, Giants tight end Evan Engram expects to upset the Super Bowl favorite Patriots.
Kole Berry – my fantasy football counterpart – had a couple of good suggestions last week in the Rams and Seahawks game. His start of the week – Will Dissly – came up with four catches for 81 yards and added a fluke rush for seven extra. That was good for 12.8 PPR points and a surefire TE1 for week six.
His sit of the week – Jared Goff – who is a week-in and week-out fringe starter, posted 17.9 fantasy points. While that may not seem bad, it sure won’t win your week and hopefully if he was on your team you had someone like wide receiver Will Fuller to drag you to a win.
That’s two for two for Kole and he beat me out after my week four blunder of sitting Aaron Rodgers. Let’s see if who will show up for it fantasy-wise.
