NFL Week 6 preview features upset bets, player stat forecasts and fantasy sleeper picks

Betting analyst Pamela Maldonado highlighted three underdogs she believes could win outright in Week 6. She sees the Dallas Cowboys (+1.5) edging the Green Bay Packers, the New York Giants (+1.5) challenging the New Orleans Saints, and the Houston Texans (+3) pulling an upset against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

Analytics writer Seth Walder projected specific stat lines for three players. He expects Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner to record 28 coverage snaps, three targets and no receptions allowed. For Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, Walder predicts 1.5 sacks, five pressures and a 26% pass-rush win rate against the Los Angeles Chargers. Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson is projected to run 34 routes, receive six targets and make two catches for 12 yards.

Fantasy football writer Eric Moody identified three sleepers for the upcoming week. He noted Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins, New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller and Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee as players with favorable matchups and upside for fantasy owners.

Analyst Matt Bowen selected three players he expects to score touchdowns. He cited Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London, who has not yet reached the end zone this season but has been productive in recent games, New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo and Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams as likely scorers based on their usage and opponent defenses.

Finally, analyst Ben Solak offered three additional predictions. He foresees Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston posting his first 100-yard game, the Tennessee Titans securing their first win of the season, and Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers moving past Peyton Manning on the career passing-touchdown list in the matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
