Here are my four key findings that will help you win your week six fantasy football matchup.

Finding number one is the best spot of the week and it's for DeAndre Hopkins, the Titans wide receiver against the Indianapolis Colts.

Hopkins is coming out of his bi week and this should help him because he's been dealing with a knee injury all season.

Now, this has led to Hopkins being limited over the last few games, but despite that over the past two games, Hopkins leads the Titans and targets and now this week he gets to face the Indianapolis Colts secondary that's allowed over 100 yards to opposing outside.

Number one receivers in three straight games, we just saw the Brian Thomas Junior have over 100 and 20 yards and a touchdown on five catches last week against the Colts.

This is the perfect spot for DeAndre Hopkins coming out of the by now.

Finding number two is the bounce back performance of the week and this week it's for the Packers wide receiver Dont and Wicks Wiggs was a popular Waver wire ad last week and a lot of people played him in fantasy with Christian Watson out and Romeo Dobbs suspended for the Packers.

It was setting up to be a great spot for Wicks, but he let a lot of people down catching just two of seven targets with a couple of more drops and only putting up 20 receiving yards.

Now, the box score was bad for Wicks in this, but if you watch the film, he was actually open nonstop and in week six, he has the perfect bounce back spot against the Arizona Cardinals who allow the fifth most receiving yards per play, you can start Wicks this week.

Now finding number three is the sketchy spot of the week and this is for the commanders running back Brian Robinson against the Baltimore Ravens.

Look Robinson has been great this year.

He ranks top 10 in yards created per touch and his fourth in explosive runs of 10 plus yards this season and he's coming off of a game where he battled through an injury for fantasy managers and found the end zone two times.

But this week against the Ravens, it's a tough spot because the Ravens defense is allowing the fewest rushing yards per play this season allowing just 3.1 yards per carry to running backs 14% fewer than any other team in the league.

Plus Robinson is a six point underdog this week.

And as a big underdog in his career, he averages just 9.3 fantasy points per game and finding number four is the pickup and play of the week and this is for the Cowboys wide receiver, Jalen Tolbert.

Tolbert is a must add in all Fantasy leagues because Brandon Cooks, the veteran wide receiver is expected to miss at least three more games for the Cowboys.

And in week five, the Cowboys played their first game without Cooks and Tolbert led the team with 10 target.

It's turning this into seven catches for over 80 yards and a touchdown and it's too good of a matchup this week for Tolbert against the Lions who allow the six most passing yards per game, but not only that, this game has the highest total on the week at 52.5 points according to the Vegas betting lines.

And just another thing to keep in mind, opposing defenses will have to focus on CD Lamb and also Jake Ferguson in the middle of the field, meaning Tolbert should always have a beneficial matchup.

So these have been my four key findings that will help you win your week six fantasy matchup.

As always people, you just got to take this information.

Now, put it in your head and smack around your competition with it.
