Best of the Week
-
Tristan H. Cockcroft: Week 6 was the first time any Patriots receiver was within the top 25 scorers at the position — and they placed two, DeMario Douglas (eighth) and Kayshon Boutte (24th). That coincided with Drake Maye’s installation at quarterback, a decision that breathed additional life into the Patriots’ offense. The Jaguars have seen eight different wide receivers score 15-plus PPR fantasy points in six games, including multiples in three of those games. Douglas, who has had at least a 28% target share in each of the past two weeks, should again deliver a productive fantasy score.
-
Liz Loza: Jacksonville’s defense gifted Caleb Williams his best outing so far, allowing him to complete more than 79% of his passes while tossing four scores. The Jaguars have allowed at least 23 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in four straight contests. It’s early, but Drake Maye appears deserving of attention and could flirt with top-15 numbers in Week 7
Cincinnati Bengals -5.5 vs. Cleveland Browns
Locks: Sunday 1 p.m. ET
Over/under total: 41.5 (12th highest)
FPI favorite: Bengals by 4.8, 62.6% to win outright
